Author Biography
Elaine J. Keller has spent her life uncovering the truths about elusive subjects. Her first non-fiction book emerged from her experience as a NYC talent agent and was published by Reed Elsevier/ Butterworth Heinemann. Other works have crossed the lines between history, politics, and social sciences, and stem from a deep interest in the way human beings can best achieve their potential. Her search for nutritional answers came from her parents, who cured her younger brother of the after-effects of a heart defect by embarking upon a course of discovery that spanned the globe and caused them to become familiar with a wide array of alternative medical practices. The author was brought into contact with the work of such master teachers as Adelle Davis, Hanna Kroeger, Edgar Cayce, and Paramahansa Yogananda. Her brother is a practicing chiropractor in the Caycean tradition, while her parents host the nation's longest running alternative radio show, on which the author makes regular appearances.
