Last year, when we chose the topic of "Imponderables" for this issue, we were not aware of the full implications of this decision. Now that HOMEOPATHIC SPECTRUM is going online, it is itself becoming intangible, virtually imponderable. You can no longer hold the magazine in your hands, leaf through it, or smell it. We will strive to maintain its distinctive look online, and with the help of our international team of eminent authors, we will maintain the top-quality content of our previous print editions. You can see for yourself by reading our first online edition now.

Switching to online presentation offers you a number of advantages. First of all, there's the lower price. Online, SPECTRUM costs half as much as before. Furthermore, there are no shipping costs and no problems with worldwide delivery. And then there are many additional features offered by an online magazine. Two examples are the index search across the whole journal and the linking options.

With our focus on imponderables, we continue our mission of building a modern Materia Medica with each new edition. This particular topic really challenges our imagination. How can the energy of magnetism or black hole be transferred into globules? The healing processes, as described by our authors, demonstrate that this is obviously possible. In their case studies, it is particularly striking how strongly the energy of the source is reflected in the patients' inner experience and verbal expression.

In addition to "source language", the common themes of the imponderables play a central role in case analysis. These are presented by established experts such as Bhawisha Joshi and Jonathan Hardy. And then there is the foundation of provings, some dating back to the 19th century. Imponderables are by no means a new group of remedies. Immerse yourself in the fascinating realm of pure energy, whose healing power is directly related to our life force.
