Dr. Cowan shares why he chose to step away from the traditional medical system and how his perspective on illness, viruses, and immunity has evolved. He introduces the idea that many common symptoms may actually be signs of the body healing itself—not signals of disease—and invites listeners to explore a deeper understanding of how environment, lifestyle, and nutrition impact well-being.From discussing the role of toxins in modern life to reevaluating our beliefs about immunity and vaccines, this episode encourages critical thinking, scientific inquiry, and personal agency in health decisions. Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or somewhere in between, Dr. Cowan’s perspective offers a compelling lens on what it means to live well in today’s world.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Hosts and Guest01:50 Dr. Tom Cowan's Medical Philosophy04:47 Scientific Literacy in Medicine10:00 Challenging the Existence of Viruses17:50 Isolation of Viruses and Vaccination Debate22:01 The Role of Vaccinations27:30 Understanding Illness and the Body's Response31:51 The Garbage Analogy: Understanding Health and Disease35:31 Genetics and Health: Debunking Myths39:18 Living Naturally: The Key to Health44:16 Sickness and Healing: A New Perspective46:58 Cancer in Young People: Causes and Concerns48:03 The Four Reasons for Illness52:40 Closing Thoughts: Agency and Health ChoicesFollow Futures Edge Show: Twitter: https://x.com/bob_iaccinoTwitter: https://x.com/jimiuorioLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bob-iaccino/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-iuorio/Newsletter: http://theunfilteredinvestor.com/
