“Paracelsus: A Snapshot of his life and contributions in Medicine”
His name is quite famous for people who had studied chemistry or pharmacology (toxicology) for he is considered as the father of both bodies of knowledge. But beyond that, Paracelsus had given his life traveling and learning for the sake of knowledge that is yet unknown. His contributions are still considered today as priceless gems that have been considered true or factual for almost five centuries that have gone past his death.
He was born with a quite extensive name of Theophrastus Philippus Aureolus von Homenheim in Einsiedeln, Switzerland in November of the year 1943. In an article according to David A. Bassett, an author on Chemistry Explained: Foundations and Applications, His adapted name “Paracelsus”, was a statement that he considered himself as a better physician than “Celsus”- a first century physican of the Roman Empire, Para which …show more content…
He inscribed that all things are toxic and only a dose would not let the thing be poisonous. Correspondingly, he also specified that a commonly inoffensive material when engaged in hefty magnitudes might turn lethal. Paracelsus stretched his attention in chemistry and biology to what we now contemplate as toxicology. Paracelsus also encouraged the use of experimental animals to study the effects of chemicals for both beneficial effects and to identify toxic effects. As in medicine, the influence of Paracelsus on toxicology was enormous.
He supposed that for each evil, there is a good that would eradicate it. Therefore, he understood that there was a cure for every disease. He thought it was at effort in wholly of nature. He felt strongly about connecting his philosophy of nature to his spiritual principles. Pathology, Preparation and Prescription of Medicine, Investigating the Pulse and Urine and Treating Illnesses and Injuries were some of his lectures on fundamental therapeutic
