He was born in the province of Asia, to a Scythian who had secretly converted to Christianity. Like his parents, he was a secret follower of Christ, serving as a legionary in the Roman army during the reign of the Emperor Decius. During a campaign, an Angel appeared to him, gave him a sword and told him to go into battle trusting in Christ's help. Mercurius plunged into battle, fought his way alone through the enemy lines, and reached the barbarian commander Rigas, whom he killed. Upon the death of their chief the barbarians scattered and the victory was won.   The Emperor, hearing of the young soldier's exploits, promoted him to a position at court. There, lulled by the pleasures and honors of the court, Mercurius forgot his duties to Christ his King. One night the same Angel who had given him the sword appeared to him once again and reminded him of the sword that Christ had given him, an emblem of the battle of martyrdom that he was about to enter. The next day Mercurius, now returned to his senses, refused to offer sacrifice to the gods. When called before the Emperor, he boldly proclaimed Christ and threw off his badges of office. He was thrown in prison and subjected to cruel tortures, all of which he bore with peace and joy, encouraged by the Angel who appeared to him again to offer comfort and encouragement. After long torment he was beheaded in Caesarea in Cappadocia, at the age of twenty-five.

He was a soldier from Byzantium, one of the defenders of Smolensk when it was besieged by the Tatars in 1238. One day the Mother of God appeared to Mercurius and told him that the Tatars were preparing a surprise attack — and, further, that he must take up arms and attack the enemy singlehandedly. Placing all his trust in God, the lone soldier threw himself against the Tatar host crying 'Most Holy Mother of God, help me!' He was quickly surrounded and cut down, and it appeared that his action had been as foolhardy as it had seemed, when a woman at the head of a glorious host, all of them surrounded by light, appeared and threw back the Tatar army. The next morning the people of Smolensk found the ground covered with the bodies of their enemies. They buried Mercurius in the Cathedral, where he has been venerated as a Martyr ever since.

Episode 176: Healing Beyond the Diagnosis: How Homeopathy Addresses Cancer and Genetic Predisposition

In this insightful episode, Mary talks with Dr Shrikant Talari, a homeopathic doctor from India who treats cancer patients daily. Dr Talari shares how integrating genetic and lifestyle factors has transformed his results with patients — offering a deeper understanding of disease prevention, treatment, and cure through homoeopathy. From Lifestyle to Genetic Causes Dr Talari explains that while lifestyle issues such as smoking, stress, and poor diet were once seen as the major causes of cancer, more recent patterns reveal strong genetic components. Many patients now come for prevention because of family history — for example, "My mother had breast cancer, so I'll get checked too." He began looking not just at current habits but at inherent tendencies — the physical or emotional patterns that seem to run in families. These "genetic symptoms," he says, hold the key to true, lasting healing. A Case that Changed His Perspective One of Dr Talari's patients had recurrent colon cancer after multiple surgeries and chemotherapy. She had suffered from lifelong acidity triggered by spicy food and relieved by vomiting. Initially, her remedy seemed obvious — Arsenicum album — yet it failed. Digging deeper, he discovered something else: since childhood she could never tolerate buttermilk, a traditional digestive aid in India. This reaction had no lifestyle cause; it was innate. The remedy Bryonia matched her buttermilk aggravation and finally brought relief — her vomiting stopped and energy improved. That's when Dr Talari realised that treating genetic traits, not just habits, reaches the root of disease. Healing Genetic Weaknesses He illustrates this with a second case of breast cancer in a woman who also had porphyria, a hereditary blood disorder. After addressing the emotional triggers behind the cancer, he turned to the genetic layer. Her porphyria pointed to a liver weakness, and Chelidonium — a liver remedy — restored her haemoglobin from 7 to a normal 15. For Dr Talari, this was proof that when a genetic condition improves, other inherited susceptibilities — including cancer — can also heal or be prevented. Understanding Hering's Law of Cure Dr Talari describes Hering's Law of Cure, which explains how healing progresses: From within outward – inner organs heal before skin or surface issues. From above downward – symptoms move from head to feet. In reverse order of appearance – newer diseases heal first, revealing older layers. He notes that when patients begin expressing old emotional wounds or childhood patterns, it's a positive sign — the body is healing deeply and naturally. Another Case: Tracing the True Root A carpenter with pancreatic cancer had unpredictable abdominal pain. The only consistent feature was mouth ulcers and excess saliva, which he'd had since childhood after a viral infection. Recognising the link, Dr Talari prescribed Mercurius solubilis, a classic remedy for ulcerations and salivation. Within two months, his pain vanished and energy returned. The lesson: seemingly small, lifelong symptoms can reveal the original weakness behind chronic disease. Going Straight to the Core Dr Talari and Mary conclude that instead of "peeling away layers," true healing happens when you go directly to the core susceptibility — the inherited tendency or genetic root. Treating this foundation builds resilience and prevents future illness. As Dr Talari summarises, "Homeopathy's true potential is not just relief but cure — removing the root so symptoms don't return."

In this Homeopathy 247 episode, host Mary welcomes back Lisa Robbins, who explores the fascinating remedy Mercurius, also known as Merxol, Merc Viv, or Quicksilver. Lisa explains its different names and why it is one of her favourite remedies, describing it as a "human thermometer" – extremely sensitive to every change in the environment. Why Mercurius is Called the Human Thermometer Mercurius is remembered easily because mercury itself is liquid at room temperature and used in thermometers. People who may need this remedy are highly sensitive to shifts in heat, cold, dampness, or drafts. Whatever the condition, they are rarely comfortable. Physical Symptoms and Keynotes Excess saliva – Patients often feel they must spit constantly. Sore throats and mouth infections – Pain may spread to the ear, making swallowing difficult and speech strained. Glands and lymphatic system – Inflammation, swelling, and infection are common. Blood purifier – Helps detoxify the circulatory and lymphatic systems, useful in cases of pus, ulcers, or inflamed tissues. Digestive changes – Alternating diarrhoea and constipation, with a "never done" feeling after bowel movements. Skin issues and children's ailments – Effective for conditions like hand, foot, and mouth disease, quickly soothing mouth sores and blisters. Emotional and Mental Picture Beyond physical complaints, Mercurius has a distinct emotional profile: Irritable and impulsive – Easily upset, strongly adverse to contradiction. Mentally unsettled – Shifts between slowness and inner agitation. Conservative yet conflicted – Desires order but resists routine. Fears – Worries about health, illness, mental decline, darkness, ghosts, and open spaces. Children – Often precocious, sometimes shy, often irritable with low immunity. The famous Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland reflects mercury's historic use in hat-making, which caused tremors and mental disturbance in real-life hatters. How Mercurius Compares to Other Remedies Pulsatilla – Also changeable, but gentle, tearful, and seeks comfort. Mercurius – Irritable, fiery, and quick to anger. This contrast helps practitioners choose the correct remedy when symptoms overlap. When to Consider Mercurius Lisa highlights three major clues: Excess saliva Symptoms worse at night and with temperature changes A general sense of instability and irritability She reminds listeners that while it's excellent for acute conditions, chronic use should be guided by a professional homoeopath.   Important links mentioned in this episode: Read more about Lisa Robbins: https://homeopathy247.com/professional-homeopaths-team/lisa-robbins/ Visit Lisa's website: https://www.robbinshomeopathy.com/ Read our blog post about Merc Sol: https://homeopathy247.com/pyrogenum-vs-merc-sol-homeopathys-infection-fighters-how-to-know-which-one-you-need/   Subscribe to our YouTube channel and be updated with our latest episodes.

This week's podcast looks at Hermes, the messenger of the Greek gods, known as Mercury in Roman myth. We mainly focus on the story of Hermes' birth in the Homeric Hymn to Hermes, in which he manages to astonish and anger the god Apollo. Hermes is a liminal figure often connected with the Puer (Boy) archetype, representing youthful energy and enthusiasm. We discuss this archetype in a bit of detail, and its contrast with the Senex (Wise Old Man) archetype, as well as a bit about the alchemical Mercurius.

"Over het sentiment in Europa ben ik voor de verandering zeer positief", zegt Robbert Manders van het Antaurus Europe Fund, op de dag dat de AEX op de allerhoogste stand ooit sloot. "De Stoxx 600 is dit jaar 8 procent gestegen, de S&P500 maar 2,5 procent in die periode. Een welkome ontwikkeling, denk ik, voor veel Europese beleggers." Koen Bender van Mercurius ziet ook dat de 'Trump trade' dit jaar nog doorwerkte in de koersen. "Terugkijkend kun je ook zeggen dat het cijferseizoen niet slecht is." Dat laatste geldt bijvoorbeeld voor Adyen, dat verraste met uitstekende cijfers. Beleggers beloonde het met een 14,4 procent hoger slot op het Damrak.

Quand le doyen du collège des cardinaux annonce à la foule réunie place Saint-Pierre qu'un nouveau Pape vient d'être élu, il indique le nom sous lequel il a choisi d'être connu.Il s'agit de son « nom de règne », qui, en principe, restera le sien jusqu'à la fin de sa vie. Au début, il semble que les Papes conservaient leur vrai nom, même si aucune source ne nous permet d'en être vraiment sûr.Puis, peu à peu, les Papes changèrent de nom. Le premier souverain pontife pour lequel un tel changement de nom est attesté est un certain Mercurius, en 533, qui, pour éviter un patronyme d'origine païenne, décide d'adopter le nom de Jean II.Le choix d'un nom de règne procède de raisons très variées. Il peut être notamment motivé par le désir de se placer sous l'invocation d'un saint ou d'un précédent Pape.Le premier du nom n'a pas besoin de numéroComme celui des souverains, le nom des Papes est suivi d'un numéro, pour les distinguer les uns des autres Ainsi, les derniers Papes, avant le souverain pontife actuel, s'appelaient-ils Benoît XVI, Jean-Paul II ou encore Paul VI.Aussi, quand le 13 mars 2013, le cardinal argentin Bergoglio, ancien archevêque de Buenos Aires, choisit le nom de « François », beaucoup pensent que le nouveau Pape s'appellera « François Ier ».En effet, il est le premier à avoir choisi ce nom, porté notamment par saint François d'Assise. Or, le porte-parole du Vatican fait vite savoir que le Saint-Père se fera simplement appeler François, sans l'adjonction d'aucun numéro.Il ne faisait là que se conformer à un usage général. En effet, il n'est nul besoin de faire suivre d'un numéro le premier Pape titulaire d'un nom. Cette formalité ne deviendra nécessaire que si un second Pape décide de l'adopter.Ainsi pourra-t-on alors distinguer un futur Pape portant le nom de François II du Papeactuel, qui deviendra alors, de manière rétrospective, François Ier. Il est à noter, cependant, qu'en prenant le nom de Jean-Paul Ier, le cardinal Luciani, élu en 1978, ne respecta pas cet usage. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

He was born in the province of Asia, to a Scythian who had secretly converted to Christianity.

During a campaign, an Angel appeared to him, gave him a sword and told him to go into battle trusting in Christ's help. Mercurius plunged into battle, fought his way alone through the enemy lines, and reached the barbarian commander Rigas, whom he killed. Upon the death of their chief the barbarians scattered and the victory was won.   The Emperor, hearing of the young soldier's exploits, promoted him to a position at court. There, lulled by the pleasures and honors of the court, Mercurius forgot his duties to Christ his King. One night the same Angel who had given him the sword appeared to him once again and reminded him of the sword that Christ had given him, an emblem of the battle of martyrdom that he was about to enter. The next day Mercurius, now returned to his senses, refused to offer sacrifice to the gods. When called before the Emperor, he boldly proclaimed Christ and threw off his badges of office. He was thrown in prison and subjected to cruel tortures, all of which he bore with peace and joy, encouraged by the Angel who appeared to him again to offer comfort and encouragement. After long torment he was beheaded in Caesarea in Cappadocia, at the age of twenty-five.

One night the same Angel who had given him the sword appeared to him once again and reminded him of the sword that Christ had given him, an emblem of the battle of martyrdom that he was about to enter. The next day Mercurius, now returned to his senses, refused to offer sacrifice to the gods. When called before the Emperor, he boldly proclaimed Christ and threw off his badges of office. He was thrown in prison and subjected to cruel tortures, all of which he bore with peace and joy, encouraged by the Angel who appeared to him again to offer comfort and encouragement. After long torment he was beheaded in Caesarea in Cappadocia, at the age of twenty-five.
