What really happened to Traditional Chinese Medicine in America?
In this episode of the Cura Cura Podcast, Dr.Mark Brinson pulls back the curtain on the hidden world of Chinese herbal medicine — from FDA bans, fake herbs, disappearing formulas, and the decline of herbal education, to the lost craftsmanship behind legendary products like Zheng Gu Shui and Evil Bone Water.
Dr. Brison shares his journey from Army infantry and injury recovery to becoming one of the most respected voices in integrative Chinese medicine. Together, we dive deep into herb quality, sourcing, granules vs. tea pills, why many practitioners struggle with formulas, and the cultural history behind traditional herbal products that most people outside the industry never hear about.
This episode is part industry exposé, part masterclass, and part love letter to authentic Chinese medicine.
If you’ve ever wondered why “real” Chinese medicine feels harder to find today — this conversation explains why.
