Hippocrates of Cos
Hippocrates of Cos (ca. 460-370 BCE) was a pioneering figure in medicine, freeing illness from the stigma of divine punishment. He believed illness resulted from poor diet and unhealthy living habits. Hippocrates recommended gentle medicine and a wholesome regime based on clean water, good food, rest, and recreation. He used the pulse for diagnosis, recognized the link between cancer and mental state, and laid the foundations for endoscopy and hemorrhoid treatment. He viewed the body as having powerful recuperative abilities and believed in the homeopathic notion that "like cures like."
Hermes Trismegistus
Hermes Trismegistus, a composite of the Egyptian and Hellenistic gods, is a
central figure in alchemy. The Egyptian god Thoth, associated with the moon,
lawgiving, and writing, was believed to have played a part in creation. Thoth's
cult center was Hermopolis Magna, and he was seen as a type of Logos whose
voice could call things into being.
Galen of Pergamon
Galen (ca. 130-201 or 216) from Pergamon was a prominent physician of the
Roman Empire. A polymath who combined science with philosophy, he studied

by Marcus Aurelius, who called him the first among physicians.

Paracelsus (1493-1541): Often regarded as the father of spagyric medicine, Paracelsus reintroduced ancient alchemical practices to Europe and laid the foundation for modern chemistry. His work emphasized the separation and recombination of elements to create potent medicines.

Isaac Newton (1642 - 1727 AD); Isaac Newton, known for his
contributions to physics and mathematics, was also one of the last
well-known alchemists. He dedicated much of his time to alchemy and
was described as "the last of the magicians." Rediscovered documents
reveal that Newton's work on light and gravity was inspired by his
obsession with alchemy. Some even suggest that he may have
succeeded in transmuting lead into gold

Mattei (1809-1896): Mattei rediscovered and expanded upon Paracelsus's work, founding the medical system known as EH. He integrated spagyric principles with the laws of nature to create effective treatments.

Carl Friedrich Zimpel (1801-1879): Zimpel simplified the methods specified by Paracelsus for obtaining spagyric essences, creating the "Zimpel'sche healing system." His work made spagyric remedies more accessible and standardized, contributing significantly to the field.

Theodore Krauss: A follower of Count Mattei, Krauss further developed and scientifically expanded the system, ensuring its continued relevance and application.

Johannes Sonntag: A pharmacist who collaborated with Theodor Krauss, Sonntag played a crucial role in the development of the JSO-Komplex-Heilweise. Together, they established a comprehensive system of therapeutic knowledge that integrates spagyric and electro-homeopathic principles.
