Farmacology

Total Health from the Ground Up

De: Daphne Miller MD

Narrado por: Sarah Mollo-Christensen

• 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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Farm as medicine. A must-read for anyone who cares about their health." (Mark Bittman)

Informative for our health and future

I throughly enjoyed this book. A lot of information about health and how our food and environment is effecting our health.
I think we need more doctors that focus on what we put into our bodies and not just prescribing drugs .
I also enjoyed her stories and humor throughout her book.

I’ve recommended this to several others.

I like her perspective as a doctor, but one that continually searches for answers. I’ve read many books on this topic, and this is by far the most interesting. I would love for her to connect with the authors of Freakenomics. Sooo much gold to be harvested here. There’s a lot more where this data and future research (not done in a university lab) can go. Great job.

This book is REMARKABLE! Life changing!

I absolutely loved this book!!! will listen again and again. It should required reading!!!! My only complaint is I wish it was longer. :)

I am a farmer and this subject is close to my heart. I want sure how to marry the things I love and am passionate about. This book has inspired me to do the changes needed to fulfill these passions. Thank you, Dt. Miller.

Everyone in America needs to read

Amazing book, awesomely told. Open your mind and have your suspicions explained, reviewed, and new ones brought to life. Get back to nature and the farm!

Amazing book!

The book is full of stories and valuable insights to be healthy naturally.
The narrator sounds a little robotic at the beginning but gets better and better. Overall and great audiobook.

Farmers are the smartest

I knew it and this book confirms it. What am amazing and useful dedicated research !

Crystals and all - great book

There's a negative review stating that Christians should beware after chapter 6?, nonsense. There is wisdom available in all studies, which could be the subtitle of this book.
Great read on a Western Scientists journey towards nontraditional medicine. These types of journeys are becoming more and more common as Western med can't seem to keep up with the new realm of modern illnesses people seem to be experiencing.
If you want insight into why all new restaurant menus across the US and Western Europe now have a great deal of special diet designations, this is a good book to start you on your journey.

Making connections

Wonderful stories about making connections at the bacterial and nutrient level, soil and insect level, plant and animal level, and the influence these connections have on our human bodies.

great book

great book well written and well narrated it is one I'm going to listen to many more times and I know each time I'm going to learn something new and I look forward to that.
