Bizarre therapy in Indonesia: People lie down on railway tracks to cure illnesses
There is a bizarre form of therapy in Indonesia. People would lie down on railway tracks every day, because they believe the electric surge from oncoming trains will cure them of illnesses as it flows through their bodies.
It all stemmed from the tale that a Chinese man once tried to commit suicide, but was miraculously cured of his illnesses by the electricity passing through the tracks.
People today flock to the train tracks to seek a cure for illnesses like diabetes and high blood pressure.
They would jump up when a train approaches, and lay back down to let the pulse of electricity flow through their bodies.
Despite the dangers involved and threats of arrest, people remain faithful to this bizarre form of therapy.
