	Paracelsus
		Paracelsus (born 11 November or 17 December 1493 in Einsiedeln, Switzerland - 24 September 1541) was an alchemist, physician, astrologer, and general occultist.
		Paracelsus was born at Einsiedeln, Switzerland, of a Swabian chemist father and a Swiss mother.
		Paracelsus rejected Gnostic traditions, but kept much of the Hermetic, neoplatonic, and Pythagorean philosophies; however, Hermetical science had so much Aristotelian theory that his rejection of Gnosticism was practically meaningless.

	Paracelsus - LoveToKnow 1911
		Doubtless Paracelsus learned rapidly what was put before him, but he seems at a comparatively early age to have questioned the value of what he was expected to acquire, and to have soon struck out ways for himself.
		Paracelsus had burst upon the schools with such novel views and methods, with such irresistible criticism, that all opposition was at first crushed flat.
		Paracelsus had seen how bodies were purified and intensified by chemical operations, and he thought if plants and minerals could be made to yield their active principles it would surely be better to employ these than the crude and unprepared originals.

		Paracelsus regarded man as made up of seven distinct "principles." As the physical body is merely the lowest of these principles, he reduced the purely physiological causes of disease to a minimum, tracing them to impurities which have been taken into the system through improper food, drink and air.
		Paracelsus was one of those who knew the inner nature of things, and he declared that the healing property of both is contained in their spiritual essence and not in their crude form.
		Paracelsus traced the second cause of disease to the astral(1), or siderial body, which is the vehicle of the life-principle, or Archaeus.

	Paracelsus
		Paracelsus was born in 1493 at Einsiedeln near Zurich, Switzerland, the son of a physician - Wilhelm Bombast de Riett (the illegitimate member of the old and noble Bombast family of Swabia).
		Paracelsus derided this, saying that the only gain was in the coffers of the Fuggers, a company who held the import monopoly on the drug.
		Paracelsus further broke with established tradition in his belief that the treatment of a patient depended on the diagnosis, (the established view of the physician, was as a learned academic who read from an old book, while his unfortunate patient was in the hands of an assistant who simply did as he was told).

		Paracelsus, on its publication, was hailed by the ever faithful and watchful Fox; but the most striking notice it received was from John Forster.

	Similarities Between Hahnemann and Paracelsus by R.E. Dudgeon - Presented by Peter Morrell
		As in the case of the modern reformer, Paracelsus was first attacked by the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries, and he returned their persecution by withering sarcasm and contemptuous depreciation.
		Paracelsus rails in good set terms at the compounding of several medicines in one prescription, and he exposes the folly of composite recipes with a vigour, logic, and satirical humour not inferior to that displayed by Hahnemann.
		Still, I would not say that Paracelsus was destitute of all knowledge of the pathogenetic effects of medicines, or that he entirely neglected this source for ascertaining the virtues of drugs; for some passages of his works would go far to prove the contrary to be the case.

		While it is true that Paracelsus paid attention to a variety of factors in treating individuals and that one of his considerations involved “dose,”modern readersmust be wary of equating his defensive comments with an exposition on dose–response protocols.
		Paracelsus may have given himself the appellation “Bombastus,” which stems from his rustic ancestry, being a variation of “Baumast,” a German word that relates to trees and their branches.

		Paracelsus was a medical reformer who introduced a new concept of disease and the use of chemical medicines.
		Paracelsus's new concept of disease emphasized its causes to be external agents that attack the body, contrary to the traditional idea of disease as an internal upset of the balance of the body's humors (yellow bile, fl bile, blood and phlegm).
		Therapy, according to Paracelsus, was to be directed against these agents of disease, and for this he advocated the use of chemicals rather than herbs.

		Coinciding with Paracelsus' alchemical views was his belief that the health of the body relied on the harmony of man, the microcosm, with Nature, the macrocosm.
