Dr. Pran Yoganathan is a medical doctor with over 20 years of experience. He is a Gastroenterologist, which is the specialty concerned with the human gastrointestinal tract, more colloquially called “the gut”. Two decades, as a doctor, standing in the eye of this “maelstrom of disease”. The sands of time are passing through the hourglass of reality. Modern medicine is seeing this tsunami of illness with the narrow lenses of a “moment in time”, a mere snapshot. This view leads to a “reactive approach” to healthcare. Fundamental solutions to disease are overlooked in the pursuit of polished new instruments to remedy disease. The proverbial shiny new scalpel to cut at the wound, with no reverence given to the talons, fangs & claws that inflicted the gash in the first place. Dr Yoganathan believes many healers are awakening, in the traditions of medicine men before us, they dare to challenge the paradigms. But to do so is the tale of David & Goliath. Defiance, armed with a mere stone & sling, against a leviathan that looms large. He aims to explore the challenges that healthcare faces in this article. He aims for the reader to grasp the link between food systems & human diseases.
