[4] In 1946,[5] while pursuing a business degree at Antioch College, Margaret met Henry Philip Isely, who had previously served prison time as a conscientious objector during World War II.
[4] Margaret's journey into the world of nutrition began while working as an "Acting Dietitian" at the Antioch tea room and exploring the writings (the book Let's Get Well) of influential and controversial nutritionist Adelle Davis.
[6][3] Her personal health struggles, including a chronic infection following the birth of her second child, led her to question Western medicine and seek alternative approaches for healing.
[11][3] In that same year, Philip Isely founded the World Constitution and Parliament Association (WCPA), a global organization dedicated to peace, justice, and sustainable development.
Margaret was actively involved alongside her husband and played a pivotal role in promoting the WCPA's principles and advocating for a world government that could address global challenges.
