Sanctuary on the Trail -- Raw-food-diet author Adam T. Gardener PhC shared his blueprint with The Gathering leadership this week.  Adam was visiting from Utah, where he is planning a premier biosphere botanical garden. Copies of Adam's Second Genesis diet books will be on sale at The Gathering here in Virginia Oct. 30 - Nov. 1, hosted by the Sanctuary on the Trail in partnership with the Virginia Annual Gourd Festival.
    Adam's work provides "piercing insights" into human genetics and human food. He aims to introduce people to food in a connected way that helps them use a plant-based diet to heal  rheumatoid arthritis, kidney stones, fibromyalgia, acid reflux, cancer, diseases and much more.
    We are excited Adam and his lovely wife Eve have "Caught the Spirit of The Gathering" and are sharing their knowledge with people of all ages.
