Hyderabad : The campaign against the `fish medicine' by Jana Vignana Vedika (JVV) will not have any effect and people will continue to avail it, feels the Bathina family which is administering the `wonder cure' for asthama for the last 160 years. No heavy metal, steroids or allopathic medicine is discovered in the samples tested by various laboratories. "People are not fools to take it year after year if it is not effective," said Harinath Gowd, one of the family members. He told The Hindu that tests conducted by a host of laboratories, including the Drug Controller and NIMS, had not found any harmful contents in the `prasadam' given by the Bathina family. The JVV was carrying the campaign against them at the instance of multinational companies, Mr. Gowd alleged. The Bathina family always called it as `prasad'. It was people who gave it the name of fish medicine as they found it effective like a drug. There was no need to advertise about the cure as people came from all over the world to take the prasad. Its contents were a top secret and the formula was passed on only to the male members in the family. It was never the intention of the Bathina family to commercialise it, Mr. Gowd said.
