by Kevin Danielson January 22, 2025
Martha Carlin, a citizen scientist, delivers a thought-provoking presentation on the microbiome's role in health, particularly in Parkinson’s disease. Drawing from personal experiences and extensive research, she highlights how microbes and minerals are essential for energy production, immune function, and overall well-being. Martha discusses the destructive effects of modern agricultural practices, such as glyphosate use, on microbial and mineral health. She emphasizes the interconnectedness of the microbiome, environment, and human health, advocating for innovative approaches to restore balance.
