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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCowan 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDr. 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHuman Heart, Cosmic Heart\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e offers a new look at what it means to be human and how we can best care for ourselves--and one another. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\"It's loaded with great information, and it can save your life or the life of someone you love.\"--Dr. Joseph Mercola\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Chelsea Green","offers":[{"title":"Human Heart, Cosmic Heart: A Doctor's Quest to Understand, Treat, and Prevent Cardiovascular Disease | Thomas Cowan | Hardcover | 9781603586191 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks F 1763950","offer_id":49287701332120,"sku":"1763950","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71aD3bmBX4L.jpg?v=1781897338","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/human-heart-cosmic-heart-a-doctors-quest-to-understand-treat-and-prevent-cardiovascular-disease","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
