The disconnected nature of the current healthcare system parallels the disconnected nature of our personal health. Today's patients rarely receive holistic treatment for their health and wellness, even from their primary care provider.

Medical care providers have failed at the systemic level to address the root causes of disease. This has led to the development of more complex diseases-and a greater need for more specialists-than ever before.

Health Starts Now is a must-read for people experiencing the pains of a chronic illness, especially those with disease of unknown cause. With insights about disease origins and holistic health gathered from Dr. David M. Player's five decades as a physician, Health Starts Now discusses the failings of the current healthcare system and teaches you how to keep your health from slipping through the cracks. Learn how your immune system works, what is and isn't working with your providers' current treatment styles, and what you can do to improve your well-being.

Reviews for Health Starts Now: A Backdoor Approach to Treating Faulty Immunity and Chronic Disease

"""For over thirty years, I have been the beneficiary of Dr. Player's medical care and spiritual wisdom as my physician, dear friend, and healthcare provider to my ten thousand teammates. This book is his gift to all-clearly articulating his philosophy and demystifying the process for leading a healthier, fuller life. Reading it will be a blessing and will serve as a reference for years to come."" - Joe Gorder, Chairman and CEO, Valero Energy Corporation ""Thank you, David Player. I LOVE this book. Dr. Player has been my physician and friend for almost twenty years. He has walked with me through many personal trials and healthcare problems. His loving nature, medical knowledge, and expertise have been a blessing to me (and so many others). In this book, Dr. Player has instilled his great wisdom and knowledge of medicine in a way that makes complex subjects understandable. Most importantly, Dr. Player has blessed us with a resource that should encourage all of us to have an active and informed role in making better healthcare decisions."" - Bill Tucker, Senior Pastor, Concordia Lutheran Church, San Antonio, TX ""For decades, Dr. Player has been liberating people with education and medical insights by asking better questions and passionately pursuing genuine well-being. In a society that has accepted sick-care for healthcare, symptom suppression instead of robust living, this book is part of his ministry of medicine, his mission to help more of us experience greater freedom and vitality!"" - Mike Sharrow, CEO, C12 Business Forums ""I have known Dr. Player for over fifty years. We trained together, and later in my career, I had the benefit of working with him for seventeen years. He is the most amazing clinician I know. His knowledge of medicine is encyclopedic, and his compassion for patients is exceptional. I have often seen him resolve medical problems for patients when other providers missed the opportunity. His ability to think outside the box is his greatest skill. Dr. Player is a gifted physician who listens to patients, manages their medical issues, and provides comfort and confidence. David, I am thankful that you have shared your medical experiences in this book to help patients and physicians like me be the best that we can be."" - Lawrence Hoberman, MD, American College of Gastroenterology Fellow, developer of EndoMune Advanced Probiotic products ""Since 1986, my family and I have enjoyed the good fortune of having Dr. Player in our lives, treating our 'whole person'-BODY, SOUL, MIND, and SPIRIT. He has guided and encouraged us to take responsibility for living healthy lives and has been a valued health coach and counselor to Lana, Benjamin, Zachary, and me. Dr. Player is a remarkable, caring, and encouraging person with exceptional medical knowledge and insight. We count ourselves extremely fortunate to have him as such an integral part of our lives. His thoughts in this book will be a blessing for many and will encourage any who struggle with chronic health issues."" - Toby Summers, former CEO of Coca-Cola Bottling Company of the Southwest, current CEO of Mission Road Ministries"
