By Tom Cowan, M.D. Two studies published in major peer-reviewed medical journals within the past decade should be, in my opinion, major breakthroughs in the use of natural medicine in the treatment of chronic disease.   The first, published in The Journal of Cancer Therapy in 2011, showed that men with stage 4 prostate cancer who drank deuterium-depleted water had a mean survival time of 11.02 years as compared to historical norms of about 18 to 24 months.   The second study, published in the prestigious journal Medical Hypothesis in 2016, indicated...

Spring greetings, everyone. I would like to give you a short update on items we have added to our online store.

Sadly, the story of ouabain, the active ingredient in the plant strophanthus, is largely and somewhat mysteriously unknown. Few family doctors, internists and even cardiologists know of its effectiveness in treating and preventing heart disease and heart attacks, and it therefore remains unavailable to most heart patients.  A book written by German Naturopath Rolf-Jurgen Petry called “Ouabain: The Possible Victory Over Myocardial Infarction,” is a solution to this vacuum of information. However, it’s available only in its original German.  We’ve recently posted an article on our website titled “The Story...

Perhaps the best part of writing a book is that once people start to read it, they send letters and emails suggesting that I look into some aspect of the subject that they have looked into or heard about. As many of you know, my heart book, Human Heart, Cosmic Heart, has been out for about three weeks, and the new ideas are already rolling in. One of them, a remarkable insight about the heart sent to my by a doctor in Europe, I want to share with you not...

Dear friends, October 1 was a milestone day for me: my 60th birthday. It was a time for me to reflect on what I have done in my life, the people I have met who have helped me along the way, and also to realize that I am well into this journey we call life. These reflections, especially the last one, has motivated me to no longer put off things that are important in my life. Hence, this letter. More than 30 years ago I learned that Rudolf Steiner said...
