In a rather bizarre move, the Madhya Pradesh is set to have astrology OPDs (out-patient departments) in which astrologers and such soothsayers will provide consultation to patients.

According to a report in The New Indian Express, the Shivraj Singh Chauhan government will flag off the scheme in September.

The report said that astrologers, vastu experts, palmists and proponents of Vedic karmakanda will delve deep into the horoscopes and lifelines of patients, for three to four hours twice a week.

Patients seeking astrological diagnosis will pay a registration fee of Rs 5.

“Like OPDs where junior doctors work under the supervision of seniors, aspiring astrologers will be assisted by experts in dealing with cases in the astro OPDs,” MPSS director P R Tiwari told New Indian Express.

The astrologers will study the planetary combinations and changes reflected in the horoscopes of patients.

The prognosticators will also analyse the diseases of the patients who come without horoscopes using the prashna kundali technique.

What the fu???

[El Sidd]

Sub continent as a whole is a superstitious society.

How is it different to numerologist who are Mulzims and this phenomenon is on the rise in Pakistan as well.

Horoscopes and all that shizz.

 

[ashok321]

India is becoming a developed nation with such kind.
Even Sweden & Norway does not have this luxury.

Wow.
And its MP, a BJP state.

Hope is a great medicine and this may help in some cases.


What Is the Placebo Effect?
Listen
How Are Placebos Used?

• What Is the Placebo Effect?

• How Does the Placebo Effect Work?

A placebo is anything that seems to be a "real" medical treatment -- but isn't. It could be a pill, a shot, or some other type of "fake" treatment. What all placebos have in common is that they do not contain an active substance meant to affect health.

How Are Placebos Used?
Researchers use placebos during studies to help them understand what effect a new drug or some other treatment might have on a particular condition.

For instance, some people in a study might be given a new drug to lower cholesterol. Others would get a placebo. None of the people in the study will know if they got the real treatment or the placebo.

Researchers then compare the effects of the drug and the placebo on the people in the study. That way, they can determine the effectiveness of the new drug and check for side effects.

What Is the Placebo Effect?
Sometimes a person can have a response to a placebo. The response can be positive or negative. For instance, the person's symptoms may improve. Or the person may have what appears to be side effects from the treatment. These responses are known as the "placebo effect."

There are some conditions in which a placebo can produce results even when people know they are taking a placebo. Studies show that placebos can have an effect on conditions such as:

• Depression
• Pain
• Sleep disorders
• Irritable bowel syndrome
• Menopause

In one study involving asthma, people using a placebo inhaler did no better on breathing tests than sitting and doing nothing. But when researchers asked for people's perception of how they felt, the placebo inhaler was reported as being as effective as medicine in providing relief.

How Does the Placebo Effect Work?
Research on the placebo effect has focused on the relationship of mind and body. One of the most common theories is that the placebo effect is due to a person's expectations. If a person expects a pill to do something, then it's possible that the body's own chemistry can cause effects similar to what a medication might have caused.


For instance, in one study, people were given a placebo and told it was a stimulant. After taking the pill, their pulse rate sped up, their blood pressureincreased, and their reaction speeds improved. When people were given the same pill and told it was to help them get to sleep, they experienced the opposite effects.

Experts also say that there is a relationship between how strongly a person expects to have results and whether or not results occur. The stronger the feeling, the more likely it is that a person will experience positive effects. There may be a profound effect due to the interaction between a patient and health care provider.




The same appears to be true for negative effects. If people expect to have side effects such as headaches, nausea, or drowsiness, there is a greater chance of those reactions happening.

The fact that the placebo effect is tied to expectations doesn't make it imaginary or fake. Some studies show that there are actual physical changes that occur with the placebo effect. For instance, some studies have documented an increase in the body's production of endorphins, one of the body's natural pain relievers.

One problem with the placebo effect is that it can be difficult to distinguish from the actual effects of a real drug during a study. Finding ways to distinguish between the placebo effect and the effect of treatment may help improve the treatment and lower the cost of drug testing. And more study may also lead to ways to use the power of the placebo effect in treating disease.

If you're talking about Pakistan, than I have to correct you; Pakistani government tends to not interfere, as it doesn't want to be seen trampling on minority beliefs, but that doesn't mean the government encourages such things. Mobs and influential people may take issue with such things, but they tend to act by themselves, often clashing with the government, whom end up having to protect these minority groups with security guards.

If you're talking about India, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes they are discouraged in Islam.

Again shamelessly plain lies by OP, the astrologers are not going to treat patients or sit in a hospital. They are students of Astrology from Maharashi Patanjali Sanskrit Sansthan (MPSS) and practise astrology at the Yoga Center building Bhopal

Instead of just searching for anti-BJP, anti-Modi and anti-India news and posting them, it would be better if the OP can do some reading about what he is posting once a while
