Paracelsus and Medicine During the Renaissance 

It's hard to blame Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim for wanting to invent a new name for himself.

I loved The FMA reference, you have my absolute recognition.

Professor Dave is infectious, some of the best content on RU-vid.

At the morning i was reading bout him in the course of drug chemistry and at the night this popped up in my feed. What a blessing.

I always think about how lucky we all are to be born after these periods where people had such limited knowledge of medicine and medical practices. But I'm sure people will be saying the same thing in 3020.

You get a like for Edward Elric at 10:32.

Addon to Luther: He also translated a latin written book (the bible) into german so that everybody had access to it at any time.

Hey Prof Dave, I'm not sure how often you read the comments, but would you mind if I cited your video in a podcast episode on this subject?

TB is not completely treatable. Advanced stages are often fatal and the Extensively drug-resistant TBs are really difficult to treat and often lead to death even if treatment is followed A lot of progress has been made but the disease is showing increasing rates of resistance to treatment that can be problematic in the future. It is a lot better than it was in the renaissance

FMAB Shout out was dope bro

0:05 my favorite part

Wow @professor dave your video editing has really blossomed during covid !

Hahahaha I love the part about Paracelsus shunning Latin because it was only used to sound smart. Even more true today

Thanks for such a simple explanation.I am and will always be your fan.Keep up the good work!

Great series! Very informative and beautifully produced. 🏆🙏

Paracelsus here! Found out this was me in a Past Life. Amazing here.

This was honestly so exciting to watch, I greatly anticipate the next part!

This is one of the most interesting lessons I’ve ever listened to.

Footnote: The mind can influence the state of the body I have not read his writings The conclusion to alternative medicine seems a bias to point out the most prominent topic If we take for instance a mental illnesses like depression with prolonged sleeping, then that seems to fit description Stay aware that language can be interpreted in multiple ways

I absolutely love this series very informative ,thankyou Professor Dave .❤️‍🩹

Great video. Paracelsus was a pretty cool guy.

I have only one note, the video is long everything else is perfect thanks to you

So basically most of us died from stupid. Figures.

Tuberculosis is no longer completely treatable in all cases due to antibiotic resistance. It’s a very serious problem.

Fascinating times and smart man

Thank you for perfect pronunciation of Mainz.

Fun fact if you’ve seen/read FMA brotherhood. The dwarf in the flask tries to give van the name Theophrastus Bombastus, but then settles on von Hohenheim as he’s a reference to paracelus.

470 people died of Teeth? What's "Teeth?" Great work, as always, Professor Dave. Really enjoyed it and continue to learn.

Always Love Your Intro Of Channel. Very Sweet💟💟

In my field of recovery, I've often been surprised by how many people think there's a distinction between good & bad drugs..

I am in love with Professor Dave!! Such concisely put explanations, I am watching instead of usual entertainment. Love you Professor Dave explains keep making content

congrats! this series is brilliant! the whole thing should be on netflix. just sayin' .

Note the 'Trismegistus' at 4:39 in his title. I think he's in the habit of giving himself his own nicknames.

So good

Waiting for a million

2:48 bombastic side eye

11:45 Dead from grief was a code word for suicide in some societies, as people who killed themselves were usually not allowed to be buried in consecrated ground, excommunicated post-mortem, had their inheritance "nationalized", or worse. Also, censorship. If you read Chinese literature, you have a disgraced general often receive a letter from his superiors that made him die from grief... yeah right, a grieved blade to the neck, more likely... It's weird how Americans are unable to comprehend figures of speech. Example, "Cancer and Wolf" as cause of death on same book doesn't mean literally choked by a big lobster and a wolfy, those are illnesses CALLED a crab (cancer) and wolf (lupus). Similarly, planet was a code for something that would not be named otherwise. Like a heart attack? Edit: you do name Consumption and Rising of the Lights as TB and Croup. Though I've read the latter might be asthma, pneumonia, and emphysema. You never know the local slang of the era. That's why our meme jokes will be gibberish to internet archaeologists. :p P.S. Most deaths were from lack of vaccines and/or antibiotics. Horrible what anti-vaxxers want to bring us to! Near 50% infant mortality rate was still there in East Europe when my grandmother was young, some of her children died little without explanation too. The dumbest thing that people knew how antibiotics worked since Ancient Egypt, the women who owned breweries made molded bread into medicine... I read that in India, and some other ancient countries people also figured that out. And then 2000 years of dark ages. =(

Best vedio just one time concept clear😁😁😁

Well done Prof Dave! the second part where you analyze the causes of death is really enlightening, it should be taught in schools so people can appreciate their luck in living today with advanced medical science providing EFFECTIVE remedies and at the same time teach them to resist the temptation of going back to the wild unfounded claims of alternative medicine

parcelsus used to my favorite RC vendor on the Darknet. come back Doc P!

Me learning about paracelsus for class: man this guy sounds a lot like an anime character i know….

Masha Allah I loved ❤️ your video

Why didn't you mention that Paracelsus was also an astrologer and talked about astrology often? In his texts; He says that astrology is the first building block to be learned for those who practice this science. He also talks about the effect of astrological measurements and calculations on the human body and its relationship with medicines. Astrology was very important for him and he was practicing it constantly. Also about name of diseases... Even the fact that smallpox was known at the level to be named is a miracle if we consider the period of that time. Catching and listing similar recurring symptoms and naming them tentatively, listing them, is ingenious for the period in terms of discrimination. I wonder how common statistics was at that time? I understand it may sound funny in 21st sentury, but this is where he wasnt live? :) well... I maybe quite obsessed about some ancient figures :) Thats a nice shortcut for him for sure! Thanks!

Sir can you make a video on Electrohomeopathy...

Can you please make videos on coordination compounds?

10:41... well, we cant avoid Edward Aldrich from Fullmetal Alchemist, dont we?

8:51 I have to protest this Dave, that joint is WAY too big for that butterfly.

Several sources say his father was a physician albeit an unsuccessful one during his early days leading him to teach medicine then finally become successful as an occupational physician. No rumors question his father’s credentials as he did not have the enemies of his son who had the love of the common folk or non “high-asses” as he used to say about college graduates who were largely elites re: socioeconomically. Today they would be considered intellectual or cerebral narcissists. Impressively one electronic source says his mother was the superintendent of a hospital which one can surely ADMIRE such accomplishment especially for a female during that time frame.

Good video

Oh, I just got Paracelsus to NP5, can make a guide on Helena Blavatsky next? She's the only SR Caster I have)))

I really liked the presentation style and quality. Just one hint: There is no "th" sound in German language (hence the problems Germans have with pronouncing it). The h simply remains silent.

Never heard of Paracelsus before.... now I feel dumb, like I've completely missed out on a huge historical figure or something.

I love the way you said Ferrara ;) I see you Professor

fantastic video - just please change the music at beginning and end... pleeease. It was very well made all through the rest.

Great video, thank you very much , note to self(nts) watched all in it 16:54

98 died from "rising of the lights" I always tell everyone who tries to wake me up what that 50s song said, "🎶waking up is hard to do🎶"

Just a detail, no big deal, but because you start with that, the correct translation of "para" is "against". ex: parachute, parasol, meaning "against fall", "against the sun" it's Latin borrowed from Greek. So, his pseudo is "against doctor" meaning that you don't need to see one if you read his book. Marketing ! one of the greatest inventions of the renaissance. :) (note: I have been proved wrong in the replies)

Great video, thank you very much , note to self(nts) watched all in it 2:37

Would anyone be so kind as to provide a transcription? 🙏 this is insanely useful, thank you for the video

I cure myself with THE best medicine known to man: coffee ;)

I think I would get along with this guy.

❤

When I get a dog, I'm going to name it Theophrastus Bombastus

4:14 so basically ancient Dr. House? 😆❤️

What does the video sings at the very beginning??🤔😂

someone pls do a tutorial of how to die for "Planet"

Death from planet sounds like some anime shit. XD

Legit naming my new kitten Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim

This series depresses me. Not because of the information contained herein, and not because of the things that I learned from it, but because there are still people who reject advances such as germ theory preferring instead something I believe they call "terrain" (and I'm not even going to dignify it with the "t" word). I have even seen at least one person on social media claim that bacteria and viruses are fake. But, thank you for creating and sharing these videos.

Paracelsus, the patron saint of Swiss pharmaceutical industry.

You didn't mention the fact that 480 people died from "teeth"... thank you procaine. XD

Well, should be gald he went by Paracelcus because his set of full names would make peoples head spin

the intro

Hii

10:35 he seams familiar ?

marjiuana (devil's lettuce) isnt bad drug it's rather pleasant actually

I thought rickets was vitamin C deficiency, not D?

Is "made away themselves" suicide? Also, how did 470 people die of "teeth?" Man this book is so cool I wish you went over all of them on the list, I have so many questions.

So natural aloe vera and salt and maybe a lil fire can heal me

Anyone sent here for school work in lockdown.

In 100 years Dave's great grandsom will talk about covid and how half the country refused vaccines and masks focusing on primitive medicine such as oil and prayers.

Died by planet haha

third😙

First!

The Renaissance may have been a wonderful period of cultural renewal, but it also showed a huge increase in witch trials. 60,000 people, mostly women, were burned to death. This was also the period Spain colonized Central and South America, with devastating consequences for the locals. BTW, there was nothing "heretical" about Copernican astronomy.

You can't die from planet because space is fake :D

Dying of “Planet” cracked me up and I have no idea why. 🪐😂

First!
