Summary
Thomas Cowan: Human Heart, Cosmic Heart
Dr. Thomas Cowan suffered from heart problems for years, which further motivated his tireless search for healing. He was particularly intrigued by Rudolf Steiner's provocative assertion that the heart is not actually a pump. Determined to practice medicine in a way that supports the treatment rather than the development of complex diseases, Cowan devoted himself to investigating the possibility that this claim of Steiner's was indeed true. And if Steiner was right, the question arises, what is the heart? What is its real role in the human body? And how to treat it? In this deeply personal, yet very clear and precise work, Dr. Cowan makes the bold claim that not only was Steiner right that the heart does not pump, but our understanding of heart disease, which states that it originates in the blood vessels, is completely wrong. And heart disease continues to be the most common cause of death worldwide precisely because of this gross misconception, along with the associated drug and surgical treatments. In the book Human Heart, Cosmic Heart, Dr. Thomas Cowan presents a new way of understanding this most important organ of the body. It offers us a new perspective on what it means to be human and how we can best take care of ourselves and others.
