Classic of Difficulties: Difficult Questions in Medicine, Acupuncture, and Beyond

Electromagnetic fields—THEY'RE EVERYWHERE! What do they mean for your health? How can we use Chinese Medicine to understand them?
Electromagnetic fields are a major health concern in the 20th and 21st century. Never before experienced by mankind, the dense electromagnetic haze has become the defining feature of the modern age. How can we use an ancient medicine to understand this modern problem? What can you do about EMF sensitivity? What are some acupuncture treatments that can help? Join Dr. James Mohebali as we try to find answers to these important questions. On the way, we look at Euclid's geometry, deductive vs. inductive reasoning, modern integrative medicine, yin and yang, the six stages, acupuncture channel theory, stress, the brain, New York City vs. the Deep South, the Budwig diet, and more.

COOL STUFF I MENTIONED IN THE SHOW:
ZUO YUE ZI/SITTING THE MONTH BOOKS
"The Postpartum Recovery Plan: How to Adapt the Ancient Practice of Zuo Yue Zi to Your Patients" by Dr. Lia Andrews — This is an excellent book, with lots of very tasty recipes. The book is very detailed, and geared at practitioners—but the recipes are accessible for anyone. My #1 book for organ meat recipes (mostly liver and kidney).
"Zuo Yue Zi: An American Mother's Guide to Chinese Postpartum Recovery" by Guang Ming Whitley — A very nice little book written from one mother to another. It gives a great overall sense of the practice of Zuo Yue Zi, and has great images detailing helpful, gentle postpartum exercises.
"Sitting Moon: A Guide to Natural Rejuvenation after Pregnancy" by Dr. Daoshing Ni and Jessica Chen — A great book that is written by very knowledgable two practitioners of Chinese medicine, but geared towards patients and laypeople with no knowledge of Chinese medical theory. The most comprehensive introduction available for laypeople. Good recipes too!
"The First Forty Days: The Essential Art of Nourishing the New Mother" by Heng Ou, Amely Greeven, Melisa Belger — A very stylish and modern approach to traditional postpartum recovery. It has great information about different traditional cultures and their practices. A beautiful book with lots of useful information. Aimed at and written for the modern woman.
ULTRA NOURISHING SOUP RECIPES

"Shahnameh: The Persian Book of Kings" — The source of the story of Zahhak, the snake-shouldered king. This 10th century epic poem details the history, genealogy, and mythology of the Persian people.

He leads us through the deeper meaning behind the acupuncture channels, and how the channels can help us understand the difficulties of being in unfamiliar circumstances, and process of personal transformation.
