Paracelsus - His Methods of Healing:
PARACELSUS was the most enigmatic writer and controversial figure in the history of Western medicine. They called him the "Prince of Physicians" and the "Luther of Medicine". 450 years ago his medical teachings and practices outraged the establishment, but they were the forerunners of Medicine today and of the Medicine to come.
Those who imagine that his medicine is a system of superstitions that we have fortunately outgrown, will, if they once come to know its principles, be surprised to find that it is based upon a superior type of knowledge that we have not yet attained, but into which we may hope to grow.
Paracelsus attempted to reform the professional code of medicine and audaciously followed this up with a supplement to the Hippocratic Oath taken by all physicians.
Dr. Baker, himself a medical doctor for many years, focuses in this writing on the healing principles Paracelsus gave us so that we may benefit from them today. This knowledge will help us in our quest to regain a more natural, holistic and less "chemical" approach to healing and health.
