Suresh Vatsyayann ( who likes to be called just “Suresh,”) with more than 51 years of experience in the fi eld of medicine and surgery has been there and seen it all through his own microscope and his macro vision, the good, the bad and the ugly. His vast experience in trea ng pa ents suff ering from all kinds of illnesses has given him a near-complete insight of the human body and its nuances. He is a fi rm believer that if every human being starts to understand their body and the problems associated with it they would become healthier with the least eff ort. In his prac ce, he spends suffi  cient  me with every pa ent that is necessary trying to explain all the details about their body, the disease and the best prac ce management of their per nent issues.  

 

Background: Solar energy via plants to animals is consumed by human beings. We acquire and use this energy. Complex development via evolu on and muta on for the last few billion years have made our bodies to con nue our symbio c co-existence with its hos le and yet the lifegiving environment. Evidence indicates that a sustainable, op mal and holis c health and happiness can come only from synerge c rela onships. We the advocates of “health for all” would have to make the public well informed so that people adopt sound lifestyles u lising the capabili es of their bodies as the bodies were meant to be in the context of its total environment and our true posi on in it. Scien fi cally (medically) speaking, we have an abundance of knowledge (of the parts) at this stage of our development; however, there are only a few people who have a ained a true wisdom of pu  ng the ‘parts’ together and construc ng the ‘whole.’ The epidemic of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is on a path of a never-ending journey toward the worst. For the communi es to take eff ec ve charge of the situa on, it becomes expedient for the public to understand the broad pathogenesis of these well-established health issues vis-àvis life and living. We, the medical professionals are well placed to enlighten the masses and reverse the epidemic of CVD. Methods: It involved sharing wisdom to bring 

about lifestyle change through common sense, common person language, and through the prac ce of ‘a two-way honest communica on daily (one-to-one), weekly (group sessions) and periodically in the community for the last 16 years by the author. Use of informa on-sharing in rela on to body’s homoeostasis, self-correc ng, self-preserving and slow but sure con nuous acclima za on to the dynamic environment was made an integral part of all the sessions. Conclusion: Understanding life, living, energy transfer and the purpose of the living bodies puts people in a be er posi on to tackle their mul faceted problems of ill health, par cularly the CVD with and, or without the co-morbidi es of obesity, diabetes mellitus-II, etc. This happens when people are well informed and thus self-mo vated to use the obtained wisdom adop ng certain lifestyles in tune with nature. This will help physicians to lead a crusade of ‘health for all through wisdom’. Wisdom of knowing the nature of the body, body func ons and its internal and external rela onships, helps people to follow simple strategies to secure the most op mal health while reducing the physical, developmental, emo onal, psychological, fi nancial and other resource constraints/burdens on the individuals, the families, the healthcare providers and the na ons.
