A Midwestern Doctor has spent a month documenting a decade of research in the following essay about how the heart controls exactly where blood travels within the body. It’s a long but fascinating read, so grab a cuppa and settle in.
The conventional model of the heart views it as a mindless pump. This is a belief that is incompatible with much of what the heart is observed to do.
As we have all seen throughout the covid era, innovative ideas which challenge longstanding orthodoxies and commercial interests are always attacked by the medical profession. Because of this, many critically important concepts simply never see the light of day.
So, among others, A Midwestern Doctor describes the work of forgotten Russian researchers who demonstrated that the heart is constantly observing the body, sorting the blood it receives and then sending the correct type of blood to where it is needed by the body. This immensely complex task makes life possible and mirrors what many different traditions believe about the heart.
