| Popis: | At the heart of Paracelsus' medical theory is the belief that all matter can be reduced to three basic elements: sulphur, mercury and salt. Their unique properties can be harnessed in the preparation of specific medicines. In this way, poisons can become medicines since it is the dose that determines toxicity. |
