This newly released book is an exceptionally great read on "how the heart works and what to do about improving it." I think this is an especially good book for baby boomers! I have used the recommendations (diet and herbs) to help improve my blood test results (better Chol, stopped BP meds., over all blood work is much better). Dr. Cowan's logic and recommendations are a bit different than what the American Heart Association would recommend and for me that is the point. I am having dramatically more success following his thoughtful recommendations.My take is that Dr. Cowan, is an extremely smart and broadly educated MD so he can draw on information (scientific, personal, and experiential) from several areas in the broad topic of heart health. His logic and research track with other forward thinking pioneers in the heart health field, but his book is a very easy read! He can discern and explain what works, what doesn't work, and why from both a medical and a chemical/biological perspective.I gave him 5 starts because the book and information is that good, but he does briefly rant against the industrial age which I am quite happy to be a part of! If you do a search on his name you can also find papers and podcasts while the information is much more fully developed in his book.

It is a good product.

Dr Cowan interleaves stories of his life with what he's learned about health, healing, and the heart. His stories take us with him on his journey, from childhood experiences with tachycardia and heart irregularities, through his stint in the Peace Corp, the surprising and transformative experience of discovering the works of both Weston Price and Rudolph Steiner while living in Africa, his experience with anthroposophical medicine, and his continual search for how to help people truly heal (instead of just treating symptoms).I’ve been working on my own health for years now, and have come to many of the same conclusions as Dr Cowan. I expect his prescription for a healthy diet and lifestyle will help the people who follow it, as I’ve seen the results first-hand.But I also found much that was new to me, from an exploration of how the structure of the heart is shaped by its function, ideas about how the heart really works and integrates with blood transport, a description of the mechanics of heart attacks that is very different from mainstream concepts, but which makes total sense and fits with everything else I’ve learned. The book speaks to more than the mechanics of how our bodies work, also talking about our spiritual nature and our connections to other people and the nature that surrounds us. The book leads naturally to more questions, and new paths to explore, and I am much indebted for these signposts!Highly recommended.

My husband and I (in our 60's) had been using Strophanthus for about 4 years whenever we felt chess pain, and it ALWAYS WORKED! Thanks to Dr. Tom Cowan I was able to understand why, and also marvel at the perfection of the human body and be amazed at our Creator. The geometry or form of the heart is related to its function - how can something so obvious escape scientists? If we see a ball or a ruler, we immediately know what they can be used for, but this escapes our modern materialistic and reductionistic science.

I enjoyed learning about an alternate way of understanding heart structure and blood circulation even if it was hard to understand. The main point I needed to understand is the important role the Vagus nerve plays in our body.
