Thomas Cowan, MD, has studied and written about many subjects in medicine including nutrition, homeopathy, anthroposophical medicine, and herbal medicine. He is the principal author of The Fourfold Path to Healing<\/em> and co-author (with Sally Fallon) of The Nourishing Traditions Book of Baby and Child Care<\/em>. Dr. Cowan has served as vice president of the Physicians\u2019 Association for Anthroposophic Medicine and is a founding board member of the Weston A. Price Foundation\u00ae. He also writes the \u201cAsk the Doctor\u201d column in Wise Traditions in Food, Farming, and the Healing Arts<\/em> (the Weston A. Price Foundation\u2019s quarterly magazine) and has lectured throughout the United States and Canada. He has three grown children and currently practices medicine in San Francisco where he resides with his wife, Lynda Smith.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Thomas Cowan was a 20-year-old Duke grad\u2015bright, skeptical, and already disillusioned with industrial capitalism\u2015when he joined the Peace Corps in the mid-1970s for a two-year tour in Swaziland. There, he encountered the work of Rudolf Steiner and Weston A. Price\u2015two men whose ideas would fascinate and challenge him for decades to come.<\/p>\n

Both drawn to the art of healing and repelled by the way medicine was\u2015and continues to be\u2015practiced in the United States, Cowan returned from Swaziland, went to medical school, and established a practice in New Hampshire and, later, San Francisco. For years, as he raised his three children, suffered the setback of divorce, and struggled with a heart condition, he remained intrigued by the work of Price and Steiner and, in particular, with Steiner\u2019s provocative claim that the heart is not a pump. Determined to practice medicine in a way that promoted healing rather than compounded ailments, Cowan dedicated himself to understanding whether Steiner\u2019s claim could possibly be true. And if Steiner was correct, what, then, is<\/em> the heart? What is its true role in the human body?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2796,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":""},"product_cat":[28],"product_tag":[],"yoast_head":"\nHuman Heart, Cosmic Heart -
