  Alchemy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The alchemists believed that the whole universe was tending towards a state of perfection; and gold, due to its immunity to decay, was considered to be the most perfect of substances.
However, in the hermetic view, these two goals were not unconnected, and the philosopher's stone was often equated with the universal panacea; therefore, the two traditions may have had more in common than it initially appears.
Ionian thought was based on the belief that the universe could be explained through concentration on natural phenomena; this philosophy is believed to have originated with Thales and his pupil Anaximander, and later developed by Plato and Aristotle, whose works came to be an integral part of alchemy.

 Baha'i Association | The Ethics of Globalization
A globalization informed rather by the timeless wisdom of the prophets and sages than the arbitrary exigencies of the global mart must of necessity be set upon a firm foundation of interfaith and intercultural cooperation, and be characterized by an amicable and open dialogue between the divers creeds and cultures of the world.
For Baha'is, the principle of unity is the bedrock of all religious faith; but in the social sphere, the establishment of a universal standard of justice is of preeminent concern, for justice is the essential foundation of unity, and without unity there can be no peace.
The construction of a peaceful global society is thus a progressive task: first, justice is universally established; second, the unity of the planet is realized; and finally, world peace reigns supreme.

Within Australian universities the current, universal panacea to all of our problems is seen to lie in the use of Flexible Learning or Flexible Delivery.
I personally prefer the term Flexible Learning as the alternative infers that it is limited to a transmission model of teaching in which prepackaged and predigested knowledge is delivered to the student with the minimum of activity and involvement on their part.
In some universities flexible learning equals putting your lecture notes on the web (sometimes this is done on the very morning of the day they are required by the students) and still requiring students to turn up on campus at predetermined times to attend tutorials which are then conducted within a teacher centred model.

The frivolous or comic school is widely dominant nowadays, be it in the universities, be it in culture at large.
If we said that the inexistence of a permanent and universal cognitive foundation of the validity of judgements is not itself a permanent and universal cognitive foundation, but only a practical foundation, either this practical foundation would have to be permanent and universal, or it would only be partial and provisional.
To do it, relativism would have to deny the universality of this denial, what would amount to admitting the existence of one, or some, or an infinity of judgements that are valid for all men.

Melatonin: a master hormone and a candidate for universal panacea.
The universal presence of melatonin may be because it is lipophilic in nature which enables it to cross all biological (lipid membrane) barriers and to diffuse into every compartment of the cell, and because it serves as an antioxidant and is used as a free radical scavenger.
The role of melatonin in organisms physiology has now been widely recognized, and the wealth of information accumulated in the past two decades indicate it to be the best hormone candidate to be investigated for a universal panacea.

 Is There A Panacea After All? No, But Something Comes Close!
Most people today who have any sense whatsoever know that there is no universal or other panacea for anything, not drugs, herbs, vitamins or other tonics for whatever ails you and certainly not for optimal health or wellness.
Most have some understanding of the term "panacea," which basically is a Greek word meaning "universal remedy." Many centuries ago, starting with the Greeks (naturally, since it's their word!), various charlatans would assert that certain herbs were panaceas, able to cure all diseases.
Exercise and fitness, unlike the Greek tonic panaceas and all the modern day bogus varieties of magical cures, are backed by a wealth of scientific studies indicating that this near panacea (almost) makes good on all the improbable promises!

 Thelemapedia: The Encyclopedia of Thelema & Magick | Alchemy
The transmutation of base metals into gold symbolized an endeavour toward perfection or the highest heights of actual existence, and the division of the world into four basic elements was as much a geometric principle as a geological one.
The third component introduced to hermetical philosophy by the Greeks was gnosticism, a belief prevalent in the pre-Christian and early post-Christian Roman empire, that the world is imperfect because it was created in a flawed manner, and that learning about the nature of spiritual matter would lead to salvation.
Reduced to an arcane philosophical system, poorly connected to the material world, it suffered the common fate of other esoteric disciplines such as Astrology and Kabalism: excluded from university curricula, shunned by its former patrons, ostracized by scientists, and commonly viewed as the epitome of charlatanism and superstition.
