Join Dr. James Mohebali and Brian Huwe in the third and final installment of their interview together. They cover topics that are important to acupuncturists, bodyworkers, massage therapists, doctors, energy workers, and anyone who is interested in making a healing contact with others. They talk about skin-to-skin Contact, needling style, what practitioners experience when they're needling. Brian demystifies the movement of qi (while keeping it pretty mystical!). He also talks about the similarities between teaching and healing, the risks of standardized medicine (both in Ancient China and today), and the difference between rational and empirical knowledge. If you're interested in the Hegelian Dialectic, Epistemology, or the Socratic method, you might find some answers you've been looking for here!

"Classic of Difficulties: Difficult Questions in Medicine, Acupuncture, and Beyond" is a new podcast and YouTube channel by Dr. James Mohebali, doctor of acupuncture and Chinese medicine.
We try to ask difficult questions from both a philosophical and a practical perspective about medicine, health, alternative medicine, and everything in between. We hope to deepen the conversation about medicine, taking it beyond the questions of "what's good" and "what's bad," instead trying to figure out what philosophies and assumptions underlie our approaches to medicine, so that we can begin to understand what's really at stake when we think about our health and wellness.

What does Chinese medicine have to say about psychedelic therapy for trauma, PTSD, and personality disorders? What's the difference between pain and suffering in medicine? Is Chinese medicine the fruition of Aristotle, Galileo, & Newton's natural philosophy?
