Traditional and Islamic Medicine Sell Superstition

Akbari has appeared on Fuse twice: in one conversation he examines the practices and claims of Erfan-e Halgheh, and in another he explores the market for traditional and Islamic medicine, the distinction between personal experience and scientific evidence, and the importance of understanding research methods.

Fuse is an independent Persian-language video podcast. Arash Nalchegar uses long-form conversation to move beyond prepared answers and examine the ideas, experiences and tensions that shape each guest’s work.
