People everywhere are trying to turn away from big pharma, and take control of their health using natural and naturally derived substances. From nootropics, to psychotropics, to herbal medicine, people are waking up to the possibilities. But what if some of the new solutions are just as bad as the drugs? Join Dr. James Mohebali as we take a look at some more issues that relate to the use and overuse of pharmaceuticals, and use modern clinical experience paired with ancient medical theory to examine the new field of nutraceuticals, vitamins, minerals, and supplements. Covering topics ranging from L-theanine, green tea and getting tea drunk, to curcumin and turmeric, and to the difference between generic and brand name pharmaceuticals, Dr. James guides us through the tough questions facing us as we interact with the very lucrative and popular field of nutraceuticals.

"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.
