paracelsus is quite an individual
i just learned about this guy and went to his wikipedia article.
this dude has done so many strange things its like unreal
was an alchemist but is semi responsible for chemist
is credited for reintroducing opium to west Europe
actually objected to bloodletting
he invented gnomes
described the world as like an egg
thought that if a plant looked like an ill body part then yup it cures it
created the concept that poisons are only bad in larges amounts -which he used to defend why he kept feeding patients mercury and other toxic substances
advocated for mental health and proper sleep to prevent illness
you heard it here. through sheer willpower, you too can become invincible
