According to the picture, there was a group of people laying down on the railway. There were men, women, and even the elder people. In the background, there was a running train passing on another railway. I guess that this picture was taken somewhere in Asian countries.
At first, I was shocked by this picture and wondered why they did like this? However, we could see from their faces and manners that they were afraid of nothing or they were protesting against something in their own countries. So I have searched for more information about this picture. In fact, this happened in western part of Indonesia in 2011. Those people in the picture were all sick people and this was a kind of treatment. By laying down on the railway, they believed that the electricity from the railway could relieve their pains and illnesses for example headache, back pain, or bone pain even though there was no medical evidence to prove this.
In my opinion, it looks really dangerous to have all those people very close to the railway. They can be injured or even die. Eventually, I believe that “railway therapy” cannot cure any pains and illnesses at all.
