' Paracelsus considered himself an alchemist, however his ideas on poison led to the introduction of chemistry into medicine in the sixteenth century. Although he was not fully appreciated until his death, medicine would be a different field without his contributions. His ideas were even used to cure Louis XIV.
Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim (1493-1541), who called himself Paracelsus, is the man who pioneered the use of minerals and other chemicals in medicine. Mercury, lead, arsenic and antimony—poisons to most—were cures in his view. "In all things there is a poison, and there is nothing without a poison. It depends only upon the dose whether a poison is poison or not..." Although most of his prescriptions have fallen out of favor, arsenic is still used to kill certain parasites. Antimony was used as a purgative and gained much popularity after it was used to cure Louis XIV.
Paracelsus is also given credit for the invention of laudanum, or tincture of opium. He understood that opium was more soluble in alcohol. Laudanum was a major part of the pharmacopeia into the twentieth century. It was a common drug of abuse during the Victorian era; the English writer Wilkie Collins was a well-known addict.
Paracelsus was a Faustian character, with a fabulous thirst for knowledge, and given to wandering, though reports of his travels through China and Asia Minor are probably inaccurate. He was considered arrogant and surely lacked tact. "The ignorant physicians," he wrote, "are the servants of hell sent to torment the sick." He was run out of Basel after he famously threw a copy of Avicenna's Canon of medicine into a St. John's day bonfire and worse, his patient, famed publisher Johanannes Frobenius, died.
Paracelsus wrote many books about medicine, including what is surely the first monograph on diseases of miners. Most of his work was not published until after his death, and his influence increased posthumously. Paracelsus gained an important adherent in Peder Sorensen (aka Petrus Severinus), whose Idea medicinæ philosophicae published in 1571 championed Paracelsus over Galen, then considered the supreme medical authority. The first medical chemistry courses were taught in Jena in the early 1600s and The New Chemical Medicine Invented by Paracelsus was published in the Ottoman Empire shortly thereafter.
Though we think of Paracelsus as the first medical chemist, he thought of himself as an alchemist, and his writings are rife with astrology and mysticism, even his preparations of chemicals sound like passages out of a grimoire. But he had the soul of a scientist; he preferred direct experience over the ancient authorities. "Consider, I beseech you, this tiny grain of seed, black or brown in color, producing such wonderful greenness in its leaves, such variegated colors in its flowers, and flavors in its fruits of such infinite variety; see this repeated by Nature in all her products, and you find her so marvelous, so rich, in her mysteries that you will have enough to last you all your life in this book of Nature without referring to paper books."

Paracelsus, the man who brought chemistry to medicine | American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
"Parcelsus was a contemporary of Nicolaus Copernicus (1473–1543) and was born in the year that Christopher Columbus (1451–1506) returned from his first voyage to the New World. During his student years at the University of Basel in his native Switzerland, Paracelsus’ initial interest was in mining and metallurgy, but he soon developed a serious interest in medicinal chemistry. He was an independent thinker and rejected the Greco-Roman Galenian humoral doctrine [2]. He did not accept authority and never settled long at one place. He crisscrossed Europe under the assumed name, Paracelsus, which means “equal with Celsus” (25 BC–AD 50), the eminent Roman physician [3]. Paracelsus’ real name name was Theophrastus Philippus Aureolous Bombastus von Hohenheim. His trips across Europe bought him in contact with midwives, prostitutes, blacksmiths, miners, and sick people. He was always ready to learn, willing to help, and constantly thinking about new chemical remedies.
Paracelsus believed that diseases were caused by the precipitation of chemicals in the body and he conceived that health could be restored by chemical treatments. He is credited with the introduction of mercury, lead, sulphur, iron, zinc, copper, arsenic, iodine, and potassium compounds as medications for internal use [2]. Paracelsus published hundreds of chemical formulas and wrote a monograph on therapeutics [4]. His observations on pulmonary diseases in miners and metallurgists and his descriptions of cretinism and endemic goiter were published long after his death [5]. This book is famous as the first treatise on occupational diseases and on the epidemiology of an endemic disease. His book’“De Grandibus” [6], which was also published posthumously, describes most of his innovations in chemical therapeutics, including the internal use of mercurials for the treatment of syphilis (which he termed “French gonorrhoea”).
Paracelsus gave due warning that all chemicals are potentially poisonous and that the dose and concentration are what render them poisonous or non-poisonous [2]. Paracelsus was a pioneer among chemists by introducing chemical remedies into medical practice. He was an innovator in industrial chemistry by his development of processes to make glass, enamels, and imitations of precious metals and stones [7]. However, despite his hard work and earnest attempts, Paracelsus and his chemical remedies were outlawed by contemporary organized medicine.
In 1541, Paracelsus died in Salzburg, Austria, owing to trauma that he suffered in a brawl. During the two centuries after his death, the field of chemistry advanced very slowly. According to Motherby [1], the first Dictionary of Chemistry, published in 1771, declared that chemistry is nothing more than a collection of facts without an understanding of their relations to one another and that chemistry could not yet be ranked as a science. Although the first chemical society was founded in Philadelphia in 1792, it took another hundred years until chemistry, supported by biologists, physiologists, and pathologists, actually became a science [8]."

"The universe as seen by Paracelsus was filled with correpondences and harmonies, so that what was above resonated with what was below, in the world or the human body. The mysteries of God's creation pervaded the mundane world, and could be utilized by the truly pious magician. His followers, such as Oswald Croll, developed a highly personal hermeneutic for reading both the Bible and God's book of nature, in ways that emphasized the mystical forces that pervaded the world. However, although paracelsus had no desire to strip the magical from the world, he did tend to explain unusual phenomena in terms of natural magic, rather than the demonic. He believed in the existence of witches, for example, but saw them as the product of evil planetary forces rather than Satan, who benefited from the evil impulses of humans rather than being their initiator. Paracelsus believed in the possibility of human improvement and the increase of knowledge, through divine help and personal dedication, so that his ideas became linked with the millenarian project to improve the world in preparation for the 1000-year rule of the saints and to unite all human knowledge in an encyclopaedic scheme." https://www.faculty.umb.edu/gary_zabel/Courses/Phil%20281b/Philosophy%20of%20Magic/Arcana/Witchcraft%20and%20Grimoires/Paracelsus.html

“In chapter 2, you are describing very necessary and powerful progressions of logic to address conflict situations most people I've encountered have been monumentally entangled with.
I am a long time fan of taking our understandings about the world to increasingly further-and-further logical conclusions; which simultaneously (or at least eventually) carries us into the land of courting and sharing amiable teatime with seemingly illogical conclusions.
The logical and illogical are close friends. They might even be the same living being, having different whims on different moments of different days. :-)
If we were to stop considering any particular conflict situation before integrating the things you've said in chapter 2, we would be missing a lot of territory.
It is the missingness of that very territory that causes such conflict, tension, and fear.
I have known people to sense this, but only rarely is it much verbalized and even then only fleetingly touched upon.
You're describing it quite clearly already and I'm still only in the first few chapters of the book! 😳
We must apply it to our challenges and consternations around the covid fiasco as well as to challenges and consternations around other difficult territory in our lives; the way you frame it leaves lots of room for this as well, which is really helpful for supporting interrelated thought processes.
It can be scary to open oneself to more awareness of how powerful each of us is from any position we occupy — how the substrate we've come up in has so extensively influenced what we imagine to be possible when addressing the challenges in our midst, and the very real and physical implications that has for specific functions and powers we can exercise. The very makeup of our physical bodies.
And… how profoundly we can change all of that when we recognize the elements and dynamics of it.
Why are so many people so afraid to expand their thinking and ideating in such a way?
Well, cult predatoriality (cult predator-reality) sure has a lot to do with it… 🥰”

😵💫 🤐 🥴 All of the stuff I've been reporting lately relative to certain bad apples flying their freak flags in the "truther" movement is totally predictable. The relevant paragraph from my new book on this subject, THE WORLD CULT & YOU, is this: "Which brings me back to the problem with 'community' that plays out like clockwork in predictable downward trajectories. In my experience, both in the 'real world' and online, things almost inevitably start out as communities with leaders and end up as … communes with dictators." https://solluckman.substack.com/p/read-sol-luckmans-new-book-the-world
