Asthma is a big problem for the kids and elders. Fish Prasadam from Hyderabad is said to have cured so many people. But scientifically doctors say it has been not proved as yet. Fish ‘prasadam’, which is believed to cure asthma, is administered to thousands of patients who came here from various parts of the country.Thanks to KCR the CM of Telangana all arrangements for the distribution are being made at the Exhibition grounds.
Members of Bathini Goud family were administering the fish stuffed with a herbal paste — reportedly believed to be a cure for asthma and other breathing ailments. The medicine, which the family has been distributing for 160 years, consists of a yellow herbal paste, the ingredients of which have remained a family secret. The paste is first stuffed into a live three centimetre-long murrel fish that is then slipped through the throat of the patient.
Hundreds of people coming from different states had reached the venue on Tuesday and obtained tokens. Goud family members claimed that 35,000 people took the fish ‘prasadam’ till Wednesday evening. They said arrangements to supply one lakh fingerlings were made.
If taken for three successive years, the medicine is believed to cure asthma.
The family claims to be distributing the fish medicine free of cost for over 160 years. It renamed the drug as ‘prasadam’ a few years ago when it became a subject of controversy. Some groups approached a lower court seeking a ban on the “unscientific” practice, claiming that since the herbal paste contains heavy metals it can cause serious health problems. But the Goud family claims that the tests in laboratories conducted as per court orders revealed that the herbal paste is safe. It claims that the secret formula for the herbal medicine was given to their ancestor in 1845 by a saint after taking an oath from him that it would be administered free of cost.Let the believers get cured.
