Thomas Cowan, MD, has studied and written about many subjects in medicine, including nutrition, homeopathy, anthroposophical medicine, and herbal medicine. He is the author of Cancer and the New Biology of Water; Vaccines, Autoimmunity, and the Changing Nature of Childhood Illness; and Human Heart, Cosmic Heart; principal author of The Fourfold Path to Healing; and coauthor (with Sally Fallon) of The Nourishing Traditions Book of Baby and Child Care. Dr. Cowan has served as vice president of the Physicians’ Association for Anthroposophic Medicine and is a founding board member of the Weston A. Price Foundation. He also writes the “Ask the Doctor” column in Wise Traditions in Food, Farming, and the Healing Arts (the Weston A. Price Foundation’s quarterly magazine), has lectured throughout the United States and Canada, and is the cofounder of two family businesses, Dr. Cowan’s Garden (drcowansgarden.com) and Human Heart, Cosmic Heart (humanheartcosmicheart.com). He has three grown children and currently resides in San Francisco with his wife, Lynda Smith.
Foreword— “In Cancer and the New Biology of Water, Thomas Cowan
presents a lengthy list of promising alternatives and complements
to the standard treatment. Moreover, he details a radical new
theory about how the state of the water in our cells greatly
affects overall health. . . . As in his two other important books,
Cowan’s writing is compelling and eminently hopeful."
“Dr. Cowan provides a provocative overview of the philosophy of
medicine in relationship to the issue of cancer. He discusses
multiple alternative, nontoxic cancer therapeutic strategies that
are especially relevant in light of a failed medical system.”—Dr.
Thomas Seyfried, professor, Boston College; author of Cancer as a
Metabolic Disease
“Cancer has perplexed generations of doctors and continues to
puzzle and confound. I believe in clinical experience, however, and
Dr. Cowan has plenty of clinical experience to share. As usual, his
thinking is unconventional and compelling. This book affirms that
the answer to the riddle of cancer is to be found only in nature
and natural means of assisting the body in healing itself.”—Natasha
Campbell-McBride, MD, author of Gut and Psychology Syndrome
“In Cancer and the New Biology of Water, Dr. Cowan dismantles the
conventional explanation of how cancers grow with a credible
counter-explanation based on the fourth phase of water. This not
only gives us a biologically plausible mechanism for the etiology
and growth of cancer, but also explains some of the many ‘miracle
cures’ that we know exist but which cannot be explained by
conventional theory. It only takes one fact to disprove a
hypothesis, and the conventional medical explanation of cancer is
destroyed by the multiplicity of facts presented by Dr. Cowan in
this wonderful book.
“Most importantly Dr. Cowan explains what can be done, mostly
without physician intervention, to allow the body to heal itself.
All who wish to avoid cancer, and those who face stark choices as
to how to manage their disease, must read this book and take
control of their health. This book has changed my thinking and
shaped my medical practice. Buy it, read it, and do it.”—Dr. Sarah
Myhill, author of Sustainable Medicine and Diagnosis and Treatment
of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Myalgic Encephalitis
“An eye-opening book. With insights developed from years of medical
practice and original thinking, Dr. Cowan presents evidence for an
unsuspected protagonist in the development of cancer: water. He not
only argues that the gel-like state of the cell, created by water’s
structure, serves as the basis of cellular organization and
function, but also that any compromise of that gel-like state can
trigger the development of cancer. He connects well with readers,
weaving threads of sensitivity and humanity through the fabric of
the book. At the same time, he is not shy to criticize the cancer
establishment for its narrow focus on genetics—which has arguably
produced few gains over many decades. Highly recommended, not only
for those interested in cancer—who isn’t?—but also for anyone
interested in logical thinking in science.”—Gerald H. Pollack, PhD,
professor, University of Washington; author of The Fourth Phase of
Water
“As a doctor who wholeheartedly supports a terrain-centric approach
to the prevention and treatment of cancer, I found Dr. Cowan’s book
refreshing and inspiring. With nearly half the US population
expected to have a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime, it is
crucial to understand why in order to change these statistics. Dr.
Cowan has never shied away from questioning conventional wisdom
about the health-disease continuum, and this book is no different.
In examining why the standard of care often falls far short of a
positive outcome for those with cancer, Dr. Cowan dives into the
disease’s actual metabolic and cytoplasmic origins—as opposed to
perceived genetic origins—and explains cancer as the result of the
fundamental breakdown of a crucial element within our cells: water.
For decades, many of us have been exploring a terrain-centric
approach to this devastating disease process—one of damaged
mitochondria, murky cytoplasm, and a deviation from our true
nature. Now, with Cancer and the New Biology of Water, Dr. Cowan
makes another important contribution to that growing body of work,
bringing vitalism back into modern medicine, examining the role of
structured water in cellular health, and inviting us all to
consider some truly out of the box thinking to address this growing
epidemic.”—Dr. Nasha Winters, coauthor of The Metabolic Approach to
Cancer
“Dr. Cowan has written a must-read for anyone on their cancer
journey. Cancer and the New Biology of Water is filled with
research on promising treatment options that help to bridge the gap
between conventional and integrative medicine.”—Ivelisse Page,
executive director and cofounder, Believe Big
