I Looked 20 Years Younger in Just Two Months

(Minghui.org) I looked like someone in her sixties when I first started practicing Falun Gong (also known as Falun Dafa) at the age of 48.

I had taken pain killers for 40 years. My body was swollen, a number of veins were blocked, my heartbeat was between 30 and 40 per minute and my blood pressure was often above 200.

My doctor told my son, “Your mother suffers from myocardial infarction and cerebral infarction. She is at high risk for both heart attack and stroke.” I continued taking medication, although the drugs didn't seem to make any difference.

However, I was able to stop taking medication on the fifth day of practicing Falun Gong. Two months later, a fellow practitioner asked me, “I bet you are in your forties, right?” I was amazed at the 20-year difference in my appearance in just two months.

Significant Improvement After Practicing Falun Gong

I began having health problems at a young age. I had to stop going to elementary school after only one and a half years, due to the severe headaches that resulted from the long-term medication. I was bedridden in 1998 so my son-in-law recommended that I practice Falun Gong. I didn't know what Falun Gong really was, thinking it was probably much like other qigong practices.

I said to my son-in-law, “My days are numbered, so I don't want to do it.” He responded, “I'd like you to try it just because your days are numbered.” He added, “Your daughter worries about you so much that she is in tears every night.”

I got up at 5 a.m. one day and took a walk outside. I saw many people practicing the Falun Gong meditation, so I sat with them on the ground. Someone asked me whether I'd like to learn the practice when the practitioners began the standing exercises. I told him, “I cannot stand.” He assured me that it wouldn't be a problem.

I followed the exercise movements of the woman beside me for an hour and I was drenched in sweat. She said, “Our Master is taking care of you. Viruses and other bad things are being removed from your body.” When I got home that day, I was able to eat half a bun, which was more than I could usually eat. I then reduced my medication by half, and practiced the sitting meditation almost all day.

I had diarrhea the next morning. I ate another bun after practicing Falun Gong with the group. Then I reduced the medication to a quarter of the original amount.

On the third day, I noticed two red circles moving in front of my head. My headache vanished and I could move my neck, something I hadn't been able to do for a long time. I stopped all my medications except one, an antihypertensive drug. However, the diarrhea still continued.

Five days later, the practitioner who taught me the exercises asked me, “Are you still taking medication?” “Nobody told me I shouldn't,” I responded. The practitioner showed me Master Li's lecture related to medication. I determined to continue practicing Falun Gong and stopped taking drugs on that day.

Later, I experienced some reactions during the process of karma being removed from my body. I couldn't move, neither could I eat or drink for three consecutive days. My whole body was in pain. I listened to Master's lectures and recovered in three days.

I then returned to my own home in the suburbs and practiced in the community by myself. My neighbors started to learn the exercises and more people joined us. I thus became an assistant at the exercise site.

My Persistence

After the Chinese regime began defaming Falun Gong and harassing practitioners, I went to the State Council Appeals Bureau in Beijing on April 25, 1999, hoping that the Party would learn the facts about Falun Gong. However, when the Chinese Communist regime began to persecute Falun Gong, I became a target.

Several police cars surrounded my house one night at midnight. I had to return to my son's home in the city. Nonetheless, I continued to practice Falun Gong, distribute literature to raise awareness of the persecution, and continued to move forward as a practitioner.

I experienced some physical reactions again in early 2003. I had a high fever and could hardly breathe. I vomited and coughed for more than a week. My son worried about me and wanted to take me to a hospital. I said to him, “I'll be alright tonight.” At that time, however, I didn't know how to deny the persecution arranged by the old forces.

That evening I spoke to Master while I was bedridden. “Master, you said 'If you can let go of life and death, you’re a God; if you can’t let go of life and death, you’re a human…'” (“Teaching the Fa in New York City” from Lectures in the United States) I smiled without any notions, as I recalled Master's words, “...good or evil comes from a person’s spontaneous thought, and the thought at that moment can bring about different consequences.” (Zhuan Falun).

My heart was in so much pain that I almost felt like I was dying, but I wasn't afraid. I thought that I'd happily leave the human world if Master said so. All of a sudden, there was a warm current from my head to my feet, and all of my illness symptoms went away.

I got up right away and reminded my granddaughter to go to bed. Surprised to hear me speaking loudly, my son jumped up from the sofa and asked, “Mom, are you fine now?” I said, “Yes. Of Course!”

Over the years of practicing Falun Gong, I've witnessed my family members experience what I believe to be miracles, simply by sincerely believing and reciting “Falun Dafa is good.”

Brother Recovers from Stroke

My eldest brother suffered from a stroke and underwent surgery at the local hospital. I made an inquiry to my second eldest brother who is a well-known doctor. He told me that our brother would be in a vegetative state for the rest of his life. I visited my brother's family in the intensive care unit and asked his two sons to repeat, “Falun Dafa is good.” Several days later, I got a phone call and found out that he had survived the surgery. However, he still couldn't recognize anyone a month later.

My brother's family took my advice and had him transferred from the intensive care unit to a private room. His family surrounded him and repeated sincerely, “Falun Dafa is good.” They also taught my brother to say those words. Before long, he could recognize his family members and was able to return home.

At home, my brother started to write “Falun Dafa is good” in a student exercise book every day. The symptoms of stroke, including a crooked mouth, drooping eyes and numb limbs quickly vanished. Amazed, the villagers asked my brother how he managed to recover so quickly.

My brother's entire family are grateful for Falun Gong and Falun Gong's founder. They withdrew from the Chinese Communist Party and its affiliated organizations.

Recovery from Cancer

My daughter's mother-in-law, 76, was diagnosed with three types of cancer including colon, renal and gastric cancer. Her daughter came back from the USA to be with her mother. I gave her an amulet one week prior to surgery for colon cancer. I also asked her to say “Falun Dafa is good” every day. She was able to return home one week after the surgery, while two younger patients who also had surgery still had to stay at the hospital. Even the doctor was surprised, “How did you recover so quickly?”

She was scheduled for a second surgery two weeks later to remove her kidney. I gave her a notebook and urged her to write “Falun Dafa is good” every day. During the surgery, the doctor was puzzled by the nature of the tumor because it had been repeatedly confirmed to be malignant. However, the surgery confirmed that the tumor was now benign.

My daughter's mother-in-law had three surgeries within one and a half months without any follow-up chemotherapy. Instead, she wrote “Falun Dafa is good” repeatedly. Over six months have passed and she still looks good. She said, “Nobody believed I'd had three surgeries within one and a half months. It's amazing that a malignant tumor turned into a benign tumor.” Her family are now fully supportive of Falun Gong and have withdrawn from the Chinese Communist Party and its affiliates.

Another Brother Recovers from Stroke

My second oldest brother, the well-known doctor, also suffered a stroke. His legs were still weak when he returned home after 20 days in the hospital. I asked him to write “Falun Dafa is good” repeatedly, just as I'd told my oldest brother to do. This brother called me long distance today and told me with pleasure that he'd recovered completely in a week.
