Paracelso, a pioneer for his time

Hello everyone! It was not easy to choose a topic to talk about, but finally I decided to talk about Paracelso, a very famous character in the field of chemistry and pharmacy, because he was a pioneer for his time. He was born in Switzerland in 1493, and was an alchemist, doctor and astrologer, and he is known how the father of chemistry and pharmacy.
When Paracelso was alive, he was a pioneer in the field of the homeopathy, a practice that says that a substance that in high concentration in our organism can be so dangerous, and that the same substance in low concentration can be used to treat a pathologuies. The homeopathy nowadays is a very big field in chemistry and pharmacy, although so many people say that homeopathy is not a safe method for the cure of diseases. 
Although Paracelso was a pioneer, he did some bad things, like to treat the people with syphilis with mercury; and they died for intoxication finally; I don’t admire Paracelso because things like that obviously, but I think that he was a so important character for all his contributions in the field of medicine on his time.
