The wounds must drain, he insisted, for “if you prevent infection, Nature will heal the wound all by herself.” He also attacked many other medical malpractices of his time, including the use of worthless pills, salves, infusions, balsams, electuaries, fumigants, and drenches.

Basel at the time was a center of Renaissance humanism, and Paracelsus here came into contact with Erasmus of Rotterdam, Wolfgang Lachner, and Johannes Oekolampad. [68] When the power of the stone runs out, the person dies. Paracelsus drew the importance of sulphur, salt, and mercury from medieval alchemy, where they all occupied a prominent place. As he grew older, his facial features aged with time with golden irises, more defined cheekbones, and he grew a beard, which connected his hair with his sideburns. [21][22], "Paracelsus sought a universal knowledge[25] that was not found in books or faculities" thus, between 1517 and 1524, he embarked on a series of extensive travels around Europe.

[29] During his return to Villach and working on his first medical writings, "he contemplated many fundamental issues such as the meaning of life and death, health, the causes of disease (internal imbalances or external forces), the place of humans in the world and in the universe, and the relationship between humans (including himself) and God". Swiss psychologist Carl Jung wrote of him that “we see in Paracelsus not only a pioneer in the domains of chemical medicine, but also in those of an empirical psychological healing science.”. He encouraged physicians to practice self-improvement and humility along with studying philosophy to gain new experiences. He advocated for cleanliness and protection of wounds, as well as the regulation of diet.

This was used to defend his use of inorganic substances in medicine as outsiders frequently criticized Paracelsus's chemical agents as too toxic to be used as therapeutic agents. "[32] During his time as a military surgeon, Paracelsus was exposed to the crudity of medical knowledge at the time, when doctors believed that infection was a natural part of the healing process. [30] "Since 1519/20 he had been working on his first medical writings, and he now completed Elf Traktat and Volumen medicinae Paramirum, which describe eleven common maladies and their treatment, and his early medical principles". He also wears spectacles over his golden eyes, though whether or not he needs them is unknown. Soon after taking his degree, he set out upon many years of wandering through almost every country in Europe, including England, Ireland, and Scotland. The young Paracelsus learned of metals that “grow” in the earth, watched the transformations of metallic constituents in smelting vats, and perhaps wondered about the transmutation of lead into gold—a conversion believed to be possible by the alchemists of the time.

He was prone to many outbursts of abusive language, abhorred untested theory, and ridiculed anybody who placed more importance on titles than practice ('if disease put us to the test, all our splendor, title, ring, and name will be as much help as a horse's tail'). In Alsace, Paracelsus took up the life of an itinerant physician once again. He clearly expounded the concept of dose response in his Third Defense, where he stated that "Solely the dose determines that a thing is not a poison."

Similar to Luther, Paracelsus also lectured and wrote in German rather than in Latin. But soon after he was called to Basel to the sickbed of printer Johann Frobenius, reportedly curing him. In De Meteoris, Paracelsus says that the firmament is the heavens. This incident is said to have again recalled in many peoples’ minds Luther, who on December 10, 1520, at the Elster Gate of Wittenberg, Germany, had burned a papal bull that threatened excommunication. He also was the first physician to correctly describe a number of serious illnesses, including tuberculosis, a disease of the lungs. He was placed in the role of Selim Bradley, the adopted son of Führer King Bradley. Becoming an effective physician requires faith in God. His wanderings eventually took him to Egypt, Arabia, the Holy Land, and, finally, Constantinople. Humans must eat to survive and they eat both pure and impure things. After staying in Colmar with Lorenz Fries [Wikidata], and briefly in Esslingen, he moved to Nuremberg in 1529.
