First I want to thank my partner on this - up to now - 5 year long journey, Dr. Martin Wernhart.

I also appreciate our extensive discussions on important homeopathic topics - preferably in some spanish bars!

Martin Wernhart:
Thank you also from my side, dear Tom Vogel, for the appreciative collaboration in which I was able to learn and grow.
Our discussions about the nuances of homeopathy were and are inspiring to continue practicing this method and to learn to understand it profoundly.
As anyone who has done this kind of extensive work knows, it is not easy to manage around 3000 hours of work alongside your job.
Unfortunately, important "work" in everyday life is neglected.
All too often, the family, as the basic support, takes on hidden work that nobody sees.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has taken on this often thankless work.
Of course, our very special THANK YOU goes to our familiy.
