This book has three essential parts. In the first part, Dr. Cowan discusses how the idea that the heart is a pump cannot possibly describe how circulation occurs. In the second part, he reviews how the heart is the energy centerr of the body and directs the activity of the whole. It is no mistake that we hold things to our hearts. Finally, we discuss that a healthy life begins with healthy food from healthy soil and our water needs to have the natural energy as it usually springs from the earth. An anagram for heart!

In 1984, naltrexone, an opioid or endorphin blocker was approved by the FDA for use for treatment of addiction. In 1985 Dr. Bernard Bahari discovered that small doses had a short term block and the body responded by an abundant release of endorphins, the body's own feel good hormones. He applied this treatment to autoimmune diseases including multiple sclerosis. At a very low point in her health, Linda Elsegood discovered this treatment and has reversed most of her severe symptoms. She determined to bring this therapy to everyone who needs it. She established the LDN Reach Trust and maintains an active website offering the research, practitioner and pharmacy finders, LDN radio, conferences, webinars and books.

It is well established that mercury is a potent toxin. We discuss the use of mercury in dental amalgam with Dr. Hans Jurgen Schwartz, dentist. Filling a tooth with mercury containing amalgam introduces exposure to the toxic effects of mercury, damages the tooth structure, and is an environmental hazard for dental professionals and public water supplies. We discuss prevention of cavities, use of fluoride in dentistry, brushing and flossing and the possibility of organ (tooth) transplant. Finally, we discuss the detoxification procedures to eliminate mercury.
