Practice Statement of Tom Cowan, M.D.
During my 25 years in private practice as a family doctor, I have come to one, clear goal with my patients: a desire to make their lives better. To discern how to make such a contribution to your life, I always take a careful history, paying close attention to turning points in your health and interventions that might already have been tried. Then, I do a physical exam and often order laboratory or other tests that might help me understand how to proceed. Finally, my goal is to retell your story in a way that I hope helps you understand how your situation developed and finish with a clear plan to restore your health.
During my career I have studied and written about many subjects in medicine. These include nutrition, homeopathy, Anthroposophical medicine and herbal medicine. I bring all of this experience to bear in formulating what I hope will be the best approach specifically for you. We will always re-evaluate in a prescribed timeframe.
I use well-researched natural medicines such as Iscador for cancer and echinacea for infections; in other cases I use less well-known regimens, such as digitalis for some cancers, strodival for heart disease. Although the effectiveness of these natural medicines is well supported in the literature, in general, they are not widely available from either conventional or alternative physicians.
My hope is that my strong grounding in both conventional medicine and some of the most innovative, progressive natural-medicine practices available today will lead to a profound improvement in your health.
To read about how I approach specific health challenges, read my newsletter. It contains both a compendium of articles published in the Weston A. Price Foundation journal “Wise Traditions” as well as articles on such topics as heart disease, cancer and gastro-intestinal diseases.
