They believe we should trust nature and what the Imams and the prophet have suggested for our health. When it got to Covid19, modern medicine and folk medicine confront more than ever. Here I discuss these questions: how far should we trust this field? how far it is allowed to interfere with our lives? Isn't it time to trust science? What is the border between science and pseudoscience?
In this episode, you hear about Iranian languages. Most people think Iranians are Arabs, or they speak Arabic. If we are lucky enough, they might think the only language spoken in Iran, is Persian.

Let's see what the Iranian languages are and how they are categorized. Visit www.persiancampus.com for the transcriptions and more.
