{"product_id":"farmacology","title":"FARMACOLOGY","description":"In Farmacology, practicing family physician and renowned nutrition explorer Daphne Miller brings us beyond the simple concept of \"food as medicine\" and introduces us to a core tenet of integrative medicine: the idea that it’s the farm where that food is grown that offers us the real medicine.\nBy venturing out of her clinic and spending time on seven family farms, Miller uncovers how aspects of regenerative farming―from seed choice to building healthy soil―have a direct and powerful impact on our health. Bridging the traditional divide between agriculture and medicine, Miller shares lessons learned from inspiring farmers and biomedical researchers and artfully weaves their insights and discoveries, along with stories from her patients, into the narrative. The result is a compelling new vision for sustainable healing and a treasure trove of farm-to-body lessons that have immense value in our daily lives.\nIn Farmacology you will meet: a vegetable farmer in Washington State who shows us how the principles he uses to rejuvenate his soil apply just as well to our own bodies, connecting the dots between a thriving soil microbiome and our own gut health. a beef farmer in Missouri who shows how a holistic cattle-grazing method can grow resilient calves and resilient children. an egg farmer in Arkansas who introduces us to the counterintuitive idea that stress can keep us productive and healthy. We discover why the stressors associated with a pasture-based farming system are beneficial to animals and humans while the duress of factory farming can make us ill. a vintner in Sonoma, California, who reveals the principles of Integrated Pest Management and helps us understand how this gentler approach to controlling unwanted bugs and weeds might be used to treat invasive cancers in humans. a farmer in the Bronx who shows us how a network of gardens offers health benefits that extend far beyond the nutrient value of the fruits and vegetables grown in the raised beds. For example, did you know that urban farming can lower the incidence of alcoholism and crime? finally, an aromatic herb farmer in Washington State who teaches us about the secret chemical messages we exchange with plants―messages that can affect our mood and even keep us looking youthful.\nIn each chapter, Farmacology reveals the surprising ways that the ecology of our body and the ecology of our farms are intimately linked, offering a roadmap to holistic health. This is a paradigm-changing adventure that has huge implications for our personal health and the health of the planet.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0062103156\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0062103156.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Miller, Daphne\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
