I think it's fantastic that he is showing us that traditional western medicine is not the only thing that helps us stay healthy. The world has so much more to offer.

I watched both shows last night and found them very informative.  I don’t think I could endure that very hot bath, though.

My mom is Japanese and when us kids were young she would make us get in a tub of really hot water...omg. I remember dreading those baths. She always told us it was good for us.  I would get out of the tub looking like a lobster...a really clean lobster! Smiley Very Happy

I really like this new series!  Can see some parallels between Bourdain's series and Gupta's.

@patbz   That is exactly what I was thinking last night watching Gupta.  Afterwards, a rerun of Bourdain’s show came on and I at first thought it was another Gupta show! The parallels are definitely there!
