PRAISE FOR
CANCER AND THE NEW BIOLOGY OF WATER

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 waters 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 geneticswhich has arguably produced few gains over many decades. Highly recommended, not only for those interested in cancerwho isnt?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. Cowans 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 diseases actual metabolic and cytoplasmic originsas 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 processone 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.

CONTENTS

Disclaimer

Cancer is a serious disease that needs to be diagnosed and treated in conjunction with your primary physician and oncologist. Nothing in this book is meant to be diagnostic or to suggest a treatment for any person with cancer. Due to current California state laws, I do not consult with or treat patients with cancer at this time. The goal of this book is to stimulate interest in a new approach to understanding cancer and cancer treatment. My hope is that as a result of this book, there will be further research into new avenues for the prevention and treatment of cancer. I also hope that individuals who seek treatment for cancer will bring up the ideas in the book to their treating physicians. But, again, nothing in this book is meant to be a prescription for treatment for any person with cancer.
