Amber Waves of Gain: How the Government Makes Us Fat, and the Spiritual Power to Lose It (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781481947305)

Gene Ladd grew up in the mountains of Western North Carolina near Asheville where he experienced his first vision quest when he was only ten years old. His earliest memories are hiking the Blue Ridge and Swannanoa Mountains with his Cherokee grandfather wildcrafting herbs. "Diggin' the sang" as it was called in the 1930s. His journey includes a career in radio and TV in New York City and a series of businesses, one of which was a health food store. Now in his late seventies he has evolved into a respected Natural Health Consultant and Spiritual Coach. His healing services, workshops, or private consultations have been called life changing. "My mission is empowerment, helping people find the energy within for healing and guidance in life."
