"[This book] deserves to be in everyone's library. . . . It's
loaded with great information, and it can save your life or the
life of someone you love."-Dr. Joseph Mercola "This book is
life-changing for those trying to understand their own bodies, or
those of loved ones, and it's truly transformative in the hands of
medical professionals, especially young doctors."-Foreword Reviews
Thomas Cowan was a 20-year-old Duke grad-bright, skeptical, and
already disillusioned with industrial capitalism-when he joined the
Peace Corps in the mid-1970s for a two-year tour in Swaziland.
There, he encountered the work of Rudolf Steiner and Weston A.
Price-two men whose ideas would fascinate and challenge him for
decades to come. Both drawn to the art of healing and repelled by
the way medicine was-and continues to be-practiced in the United
States, Cowan returned from Swaziland, went to medical school, and
established a practice in New Hampshire and, later, San Francisco.
For years, as he raised his three children, suffered the setback of
divorce, and struggled with a heart condition, he remained
intrigued by the work of Price and Steiner and, in particular, with
Steiner's provocative claim that the heart is not a pump.
Determined to practice medicine in a way that promoted healing
rather than compounded ailments, Cowan dedicated himself to
understanding whether Steiner's claim could possibly be true. And
if Steiner was correct, what, then, is the heart? What is its true
role in the human body? In this deeply personal, rigorous, and
riveting account, Dr. Cowan offers up a daring claim: Not only was
Steiner correct that the heart is not a pump, but our understanding
of heart disease-with its origins in the blood vessels-is
completely wrong. And this gross misunderstanding, with its
attendant medications and risky surgeries, is the reason heart
disease remains the most common cause of death worldwide. In Human
Heart, Cosmic Heart, Dr. Thomas Cowan presents a new way of
understanding the body's most central organ. He offers a new look
at what it means to be human and how we can best care for
ourselves-and one another.
