[taught that Health is based on a kind of harmony between man and nature,
and when the harmony is out of balance, the consequence is illness,
[a fundamental principle of medical science, a path, an arcade, perhaps an arcature.
This principle was studies by Paracelsus who became a pioneer in several aspects
[of the "medical revolution" of the Renaissance, emphasizing the value of observation.
Hippocrates and Paracelsus, two names, two men, two true intellects
[in every society, every community every state and every nation.
Two thousand four hundred seventy nine years after Hippocrates
[it is impossible to know the details of his life,
But I do know that a visit from Paracelsus in Villach in the year of 1538,
[nowdays a historical event...….like an apology to a man vindicated afterlife.

*Hippocrates of Kos (460 – 370 BC), also known as Hippocrates II, was a Greek physician of the Age of Pericles (Classical Greece), who is considered one of the most outstanding figures in the history of medicine. He is often referred to as the "Father of Medicine" in recognition of his lasting contributions to the field as the founder of the Hippocratic School of Medicine. This intellectual school revolutionized medicine in ancient Greece, establishing it as a discipline distinct from other fields with which it had traditionally been associated (theurgy and philosophy), thus establishing medicine as a profession.
However, the achievements of the writers of the Corpus, the practitioners of Hippocratic medicine and the actions of Hippocrates himself were often commingled; thus very little is known about what Hippocrates actually thought, wrote, and did. Hippocrates is commonly portrayed as the paragon of the ancient physician, and credited with coining the Hippocratic Oath, which is still relevant and in use today. He is also credited with greatly advancing the systematic study of clinical medicine, summing up the medical knowledge of previous schools, and prescribing practices for physicians through the Hippocratic Corpus and other works.*Paracelsus (1493 – 1541), born Theophrastus von Hohenheim (full name Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim[), was a physician, alchemist, and astrologer of the German Renaissance.
He was a pioneer in several aspects of the "medical revolution" of the Renaissance, emphasizing the value of observation in combination with received wisdom. He is credited as the "father of toxicology".
He also had a substantial impact as a prophet or diviner, his "Prognostications" being studied by Rosicrucians in the 1700s. Paracelsianism is the early modern medical movement inspired by the study of his works. ELEGHOS... at history
