Almost half of the U.S. population is overweight. Three hundred thousand people die each year from obesity or obesity-related illness. Seven percent of all health care dollars are spent on obesity-related diseases. In 1991, four states had 15 percent or more of its population who were obese; by 1998, that number had increased to thirty-seven. Consequently, there has been a drastic increase in the use of dangerous and often unproven methods and products without proper guidance, supervision or information. A bariatric physician with over 30 years of experience, the author discusses the external and internal forces that have contributed to and facilitated these alarming trends, and offers a common sense method for losing weight that focuses on lifestyle and personal growth, diet/nutrition, exercise and various medical options-all of which he uses with great success in his own practice.

Broad in scope, American Angels chronicles one of the most important times in American History. Set during the Civil War and the years immediately following, the story follows the life of Knock Gatlin, cherished son of a proud ranch family in the New Mexico territory. Seriously wounded in the Civil War, he is nourished back to health by his foster sister, Mary Alice-revered by the Indians in the region as a sacred spirit. As a conflict with a murderous ring of rustlers, thieves and land grabbers erupts for control of his beloved High Meadows ranch, Knock must defend not only his family and home, but the growing intensity of his emotions for a forbidden love. Both enchanting and suspenseful, American Angels is at once a family saga filled with historical detail, and a bold love story for believers in unselfish love.
