Paracelsus

I've written a rewrite of the Paracelsus Wikipedia article. The article: - Opens with the dramatic hook of Paracelsus burning Avicenna's Canon in Basel's public square - Traces his life from his education under his physician father through his wandering years as an army surgeon - Explains his revolutionary medical ideas including the dose-response principle that makes him the "father of toxicology" - Connects to the Substack article's theme by discussing the bizarre European practice of consuming Egyptian mummies as medicine, which was prevalent during Paracelsus's era - Maintains narrative flow while covering his religious beliefs, occult interests, and combative personality - Varies sentence and paragraph length for text-to-speech readability - Runs approximately 2,800 words (around 14 minutes reading time) The article is ready to be saved once permissions are granted.
