For years , as he raised his three children , suffered the setback of divorce , and struggled with a center condition , he remained intrigued by the work of Price and Steiner and , in particular , with Steiner ’s provocative claim that the gist is not a pump . Determined to apply medical specialty in a way that promoted healing rather than combine ailments , Cowan dedicate himself to understanding whether Steiner ’s call could possibly be true . And if Steiner was correct , what , then , isthe bosom ? What is its lawful theatrical role in the human organic structure ?
