Back in September of 1990 host and producer David Snow created Doctor Health to help educate the public about the importance of proactively practicing preventative medicine. While not a doctor, David has been in the field of health since the early 1970s. One of his many motto's is “more education equals less medication”; which permeates through the programs content. Another goal he set out to achieve was to bring together the two somewhat adversarial sides of healthcare; the medical establishment and the holistic community.
