I have read Dr. Cowan’s Human Heart, Cosmic Heart, and it prompted me to change my husband’s diet, and medication, to the result that at 83 he takes no prescription drugs at all, despite 2 heart attacks, triple bypass and a valve replacement. Strophanthus, as described by Cowan in that book is his only medication. He is healthy beyond his years. So now comes his new book, and of course I had to try to read and understand it. I am already traveling the path of Dr. Cowan, and having family members

I have read Dr. Cowan’s Human Heart, Cosmic Heart, and it prompted me to change my husband’s diet, and medication, to the result that at 83 he takes no prescription drugs at all, despite 2 heart attacks, triple bypass and a valve replacement. Strophanthus, as described by Cowan in that book is his only medication. He is healthy beyond his years. So now comes his new book, and of course I had to try to read and understand it. I am already traveling the path of Dr. Cowan, and having family members who died from cancer despite treatments, it is a particular interest of mine. I have long believed that it, like most disease, is due to more than one cause. Not only are there the environmental assaults, both in what we eat, breathe and touch, including EMF exposure, but there is the mental and emotional aspects of the degradation of the body. You can read a review of the book by others here and elsewhere, so I will only say that I am focused here instead on the willingness of Dr. Cowan to seek other answers outside the mainstream research methods, to take a new look at this ubiquitous disease, which is still continuing to increase in its assault upon the population. I am going to read the book again before continuing with this review, because there is simply just too much to absorb the first time around. But I can say that I am absorbing and trying to continue to modify my behaviors and eating. And I am willingly making these changes because I think he is on to something here. As Dr. Cowan says, near the end of his small book, quoting Marcia Angel, MD, former executive editor of The New England Journal of Medicine, “It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal Of Medicine.” p.158. Wow. More later.
