About this audiobook
- Is there a connection between microbes in the soil and in our bodies?
- Why does a dirty farm offer protection from allergies while a dirty urban apartment does not?
- What can pastured hens teach us about "good" stress and "bad" stress?
- How can a vineyard pest management system inspire more effective
cancer treatment?
- What can cows teach us about raising healthy eaters?
- Can urban farms reduce neighborhood crime?
These may not sound like typical questions for a family physician to consider,
but in Farmacology, Daphne Miller, MD, ventures out of her medical office and travels to seven innovative family farms around the country on a quest to discover the hidden connections between how we care for our bodies and how we grow our food. Miller also seeks out the perspectives of noted biomedical scientists and artfully weaves in their insights and research, along with stories from her own medical practice. Farmacology offers a profound new approach to healing, combined with practical advice for how to treat disease and maintain wellness.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Insightful wisdom that correlates nature and one's health: through activity and/or nutritional intake. An educational and informative read.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Delightfully welcome, overdue look at the connections between human health and nature’s ecosystems as manifest in regenerative farming. With an intelligent but down to earth voice, Daphne takes us on her journey, learning from a broad spectrum of holistic innovators from scientific researchers to land stewards. Exciting and encouraging, on a personal and global level, especially for us who are grappling with how humans can work with nature to heal ourselves and our planet.
