Synopsis

While serving with the Peace Corps in Swaziland, Thomas Cowan 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. 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. Dr. Cowan believes that Steiner was correct that the heart is not a pump, and our understanding of heart disease is completely wrong. And this gross misunderstanding is the reason heart disease remains the most common cause of death worldwide.

When Dr. Cowan writes a book, I read it. When he writes a blog, I follow it. I have heard him speak at seven consecutive conferences where he has already shared much of this information. That said, this book is a delightful read. It is both light and deep. It is rich with personal anecdotes that mak......more

Goodreads review by Lenny on January 20, 2021

I’m very torn. It was thought provoking. And at times off topic which somehow turns out to be ON topic when he brings it around. Then I find out while reading he’s the 5G causes covid guy and he got himself into some trouble in California. Even the woo woo structured water thing throws me off. Again......more

Goodreads review by Devesh on July 13, 2020

Excellent book. The author highlights the mystery and magic of the human heart in ways that transcend the conventional medical understanding of it as a mere mechanical pump. The book gives you an appreciation of how the heart functions, how to take good care of it, and how to prevent heart disease.......more

Goodreads review by Amber on July 16, 2017

I really enjoyed this book. Finally, a Doctor who questions and investigates one of the most amazing and powerful organs in the body but not just from a medical viewpoint. I am a Craniosacral Therapist and love to read more about the 'energy' aspect of the body as well as the science and other criti......more
