A passion for people, their health, good food, fine wines combined with an adventurous spirit unafraid of change and challenge characterizes the past 30 years of Holistic Medical practice, Vinology, Marketing, Advertising, Videography, Computer and IT technology culminating in a roller coaster ride of the unexpected at each turn of events including 7 hurricanes, an island lifestyle of the Caribbean à la “Don’t Stop the Carnival” has provided me a full spectrum of human emotions and between you and me, believe me when I say, so far it has been far from boring!

That’s me, Tommlyee (Thomas) Ramakers and since 2 years I am called Tomas by my lovely wife Ivana with whom communication to this day is still a challenge as Spanish is not my mother tongue. Obtaining my MD in 1980 and Holistic specialization in 1982, Vinology in 1983, falling in love with Apple Computers in 1984, developing databases in Omnis in 1985, experimenting with Pagemaker publishing software in 1986 and QuarkXpress since 1989 while seeing 30 to 50 patients daily, being chief editor and publisher of a weekly  holistic magazine called Libertyn and twice weekly 4 nightly hours of lectures in holistic medicine, this lifestyle called at long last for a drastic change. In 1990 I joined my brother Johan in the Caribbean to venture in the advertising and marketing business on the unique dual island nation of St. Maarten / Saint Martin.

If and when you see contributions that “carry” my name ranging from Medicine, Wines, to IT technology – all so diverse in topic -- you know where I’m coming from. Each, to this day, carry my passion.  Starting out in healing my fellow humans my interests evolved making me realize that, born under the zodiac sign of Sagittarius the Teacher, being able to pass on knowledge, how humble it may be, is the greatest reward mankind can obtain.

Uncertain times are ahead of us and wise decisions will need to be made, not by elected politicians but by an informed and educated human race (CNN and Fox are not necessarily the best sources of information) else future generations will find that the ransom “Mother Earth” claims will be all too steep for mankind to survive.
