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\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\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","brand":"Chelsea Green Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53017097273664,"sku":"9781603586191","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0982\/8912\/3648\/files\/imageloader_4d5897bb-e2cd-470c-ac60-b4af58ccff6a.jpg?v=1786542532","url":"https:\/\/silverstreetbooks.com\/products\/human-heart-cosmic-heart","provider":"silverstreetbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
