A Doctor's Quest to Understand, Treat, and Prevent Cardiovascular Disease

By: Dr. Thomas Cowan

Narrated by: David Drummond

Length: 4 hrs and 18 mins

Publisher's summary

While serving with the Peace Corps in Swaziland, Thomas Cowan encountered the work of Rudolf Steiner and Weston A. Price - two men whose ideas would fascinate and challenge him for decades to come. Both drawn to the art of healing and repelled by the way medicine was - and continues to be - practiced in the United States, Cowan returned from Swaziland, went to medical school, and established a practice. He remained intrigued by the work of Price and Steiner and, in particular, with Steiner's provocative claim that the heart is not a pump. Dr. Cowan believes that Steiner was correct that the heart is not a pump, and our understanding of heart disease is completely wrong. And this gross misunderstanding is the reason heart disease remains the most common cause of death worldwide.

A must read!

The second time through is better than the first. It is one of my favorite books.

Amazing!

Absoutely essential for anyone truly concerned with their own health, especially if one is interested in relying something better than the brainwashed mainstream medical establishment. Insight after insight, great writing, and a message the world needs to hear.

Fascinating!!!!

Fascinating information and insights, there’s always more to discover: this book turns perceptions inside out.

Inspirational!

Fascinating story. Loved the alternative and hollistic perspective to the subject. Inspired to dig more into it! Thank you

An excellent read about our Magical Heart

Great read. Covers so many interesting and real angles! Thank you! Thank you! I will probably ready it again!

Fascinating ideas about heart disease and health

I plan on re-listening to this book. Dr. Cowan has an interesting story and presents great ideas. If you want a "sneak peak" at what he's all about, check out Ben Greenfield's recent interview with Dr. Cowan.

Narrator sounds like a computer generated voice.

Interesting perspective from Dr. Cowan. Helpful advice included. Some of his technical information was challenging for me to fully understand.
The narrator’s voice sound computer generated. This was persistently annoying to me.

Well worth reading.

I plan on listening to this again, now that I'm more familiar with the author's and narrator's respective styles.

Dr. Cowan clearly has a bias going on to this material. He's up front about that, and does not hide it throughout the book. I find this refreshing, and, for me, at times this detracts from his presentation of evidence, and his proposals for fundamental shift in perspective about how we medically understand the heart, heart disease, and heart health. Even with that difficulty, I find myself agreeing with his conclusions as he reaches them.

If you're someone who strongly prefers the typical de-personalized presentation of scientific evidence, not (openly) blended with personal bias and other non-scientific data.... A lot of this book will be difficult to get through. But stick with it if you can. I think you'll likely be glad you did.
The reading style of the narrator is distracting at first as well. It's somewhere between William Shatner and that guy who does narration for action movie trailers.

My review might not sound positive, but it's meant to be. Overall the content is excellent.
