Paracelsus is credited with developing a mineral-based chemical approach to human health problems, a radical in his day who is considered elemental in the transition from mystical traditions to modern science. He travelled all over Europe in the 16th century, serving as a surgeon and a professor of medicine, but his unorthodox views and frequent attacks on established methods kept getting him in trouble. His written works are a combination of the Renaissance ideas of the scientific method and a firmly entrenched background in alchemy and the occult.

Answer 3

Paracelsus. He was a highly intelligent man who was very interested in medical science. He made a multitude of observations about the color, odor and taste of urine in various diseases. At the time he lived (about 1500) most medical cures relied on herbal remedies. Some of these worked fairly well, whereas others did nothing. Paracelsus experimented with minerals to see if these had any healing power, and he found that they did. So he was a medical pioneer whose interest in minerals led to a wide variety of drugs to treat diseases.
