Publisher's summary

  • 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Going to buy the hard copy of this one

The content is very informative and well written. The narrator can be a bit robotic at times, but definitely worth the read
