Paracelsus - 1493-1541

The father of modern toxology.

Distinguishes between herbal medicines and chemical medicines.

Distinguishes between foods, medicines and poisons.

Tries to make medicine more useful, but still accepted Galen, and the four humors theory, and the Bible as a scientific document.

This is still pre-scientific.
