“If you have a heart and you want to live a long time, you must, must read this book.”—Ben Greenfield, author of the New York Times bestseller Beyond Training
A doctor’s determination to practice medicine in a way that promotes healing presents a new way of understanding the body’s most central organ—the heart.
This deeply personal, rigorous, and riveting account begins with Thomas Cowan, a 20-year-old Duke grad in the 1970s when he joined the Peace Corps 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.
Cowan returned from Swaziland, went to medical school, and established a practice. For years as he struggled with a heart condition himself, he remained intrigued by the work of Price and Steiner—especially Steiner’s provocative claim that the heart is not a pump.
Dr. Cowan contends that 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.
Human Heart, Cosmic Heart offers a new look at what it means to be human and how we can best care for ourselves—and one another.
“It’s loaded with great information, and it can save your life or the life of someone you love.”—Dr. Joseph Mercola
