(Minghui.org) Having good health is everyone’s dream, but many suffer from ailments that even modern medicine cannot cure. Falun Dafa, however, has enabled many of its practitioners to recover from incurable diseases. Based on the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, Falun Dafa was introduced to the public on May 13, 1992. Over the past 28 years, practitioners in more than 100 countries have improved their health, improved their moral character, and become better citizens.
Back in 1998, six years after the introduction of Falun Dafa, China’s General Administration of Sports organized health professionals to conduct a total of five surveys on the healing effect of Falun Dafa. Nearly 35,000 practitioners in Beijing, Wuhan (the capital of Hubei Province), Dalian (a metropolitan city in Liaoning Province), and Guangdong Province participated in these five surveys.
Results showed that 98% of the participants had experienced improved physical health and saved an average of about 20 million yuan (or $3 million) in medical expenses per year for their employers.
Zhuan Falun, the main teachings of Falun Dafa written by its founder Mr. Li Hongzhi, was published in China in late 1994. Two years later, it became one of the top-ten bestsellers in China. Currently translated into over 40 languages, it is the Chinese book that has been translated into most foreign languages.
This series is a collection of experiences about Falun Dafa practitioners who have benefited tremendously by reading the book and living by the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.

Parents always want the best for their children: they want their children to be happy and healthy. Since money cannot guarantee health or happiness, it can sometimes be hard for parents to figure out the best thing to do for––or give to––their kids.
In this respect, many parents who are Falun Dafa practitioners have their own stories to tell.
Ms. Dong Aifeng in Laiyang City, Shandong Province, had a difficult childhood. She often had headaches and suffered from bronchial asthma since she was seven. After she got married, things did not get better.
Both her sons had health issues, issues so severe that they were the reason her husband divorced her. When her older son was four, he suddenly fainted one day. Doctors could not pinpoint the cause, and no medicine could help him. His fainting spells became more frequent as time went on, from several times a day to a few times per hour.
Ms. Dong sold her house to cover her son's medical expenses. She visited all the hospitals in the city. One time, she went to get medicine but found out that she didn't have enough money; her son fainted on the way there. Ms. Dong cried out next to him on the street.
“Help me! I would give my life for my son's health,” she said.
The passersby felt sorry for her. One of them said to her, “How about giving Falun Dafa a try? I heard that it could cure illnesses.”
The next day, Ms. Dong took her son to a practice site. When the exercise music started, the boy passed out. A practitioner told her, “Please don’t worry––he'll be fine.”
After two hours of exercise, the boy awoke with rosy cheeks and a big smile. Ms. Dong could not believe her eyes: her boy was cured.
From then on, Ms. Dong and her sons have been healthy through their practice of Falun Dafa.
Mr. Han Qiling from Baishan City, Jilin Province, was born prematurely with congenital dementia. His parents took him everywhere looking for a cure. After consulting with experts from major hospitals, they were told their child could not live past eight. Devastated, his mother tried to kill herself and her son several times. But somehow, they survived each time.
Fortunately, they were later introduced to Falun Dafa. After Mr. Han’s mother started the practice, she helped him to practice the exercises as well. Gradually, Mr. Han became healthier and healthier, at last recovering completely. He is now 27 and the whole family practices Falun Dafa together.
Ms. Wang Hongmei is a farmer in Wen’an County, Hebei Province. In the summer of 2010, her son suddenly came down with a strange illness. He slept day and night. For the short time that he was awake, he either looked like he was in a daze or kept murmuring in pain. He also spoke incoherent words and had an unusually large appetite. Very often, he could not even walk without falling over.
Ms. Wang and her husband took the boy to many hospitals around the country. But all of his physical examinations came out normal. The boy was eventually diagnosed with a rare psychological disorder that only happens in three out of every 10,000 children. There was no cure, and he would have to be treated with medicine for the rest of his life.
Ms. Wang was heartbroken. When school started in the fall, however, one of the boy's teachers encouraged Ms. Wang to look into Falun Dafa. Despite the hate propaganda from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Ms. Wang and her son started practicing Falun Dafa. The boy soon recovered from his disorder, and Ms. Wang also experienced many positive changes herself.
Ms. Fang Xia is an accountant at a hotel in Luoyang City, Henan Province. When her son was five months old, he was diagnosed with a rare form of hemophilia. Patients with hemophilia lack blood-clotting proteins; any bleeding can potentially be life-threatening. Symptoms of hemophilia also include pain and swelling in the joints.
Doctors told Ms. Fang that this type of case happens to 1 out of every 100,000 people. Because of this, Ms. Fang lived in constant fear. Every time her son was hospitalized, she was told that his condition was critical. The boy often cried day and night from all the pain.
Fortunately, Ms. Fang's mother started practicing Falun Dafa in 1996. Her mother also taught the little boy how to do the exercises.
One time, the boy accidentally cut his finger. Since there was no other way to stop the bleeding, he wrapped his finger tightly with a rubber band. The lack of blood flow resulted in necrosis in his finger, and the doctor said they would need to amputate the boy's finger. With faith that Falun Dafa could save his finger, Ms. Fang and her son prayed to the founder of Falun Dafa for help. One week later, the boy's finger returned to normal.
Upon witnessing the miracles that happened to her son, Ms. Fang started practicing Falun Dafa herself. As a result, many of her illnesses also disappeared without any treatment.
Ms. Quan Qiming lives in Chongqing City. Her daughter was diagnosed with hepatitis B at seven years old. She had a yellowish face and was very frail. Though she took medicine for five years, her condition did not improve. Doctors also advised her not to participate in any sports.
Witnessing the changes in Ms. Quan after she started practicing Falun Dafa, her daughter also became a practitioner. Within a month, she tested negative for hepatitis B during a physical examination. She also participated in the district sports competition and got 4th place in the high jump as well as long-distance running.
Ms. Tong Zhengying, 73, is a retired teacher in Gaoan City, Jiangxi Province. She had suffered from arthritis, bronchitis, thyroid tumors, heart disease, headaches, and dizziness since high school. After she got married and had two children, she started having back pain, neurosis, and gynecological problems. As time went on, her health got worse and worse, with her hair turning gray and her hearing deteriorating. She felt nauseous whenever she heard the word “food.”
To find a cure, Ms. Tong visited major hospitals around Jiangxi Province as well as other provinces, and she tried many treatments. But she continued to deteriorate. Right before she turned 30, her parents secretly had a coffin made for her, believing she would not last much longer.
Ms. Tong borrowed a Falun Dafa book from a neighbor in May 1998. After reading it twice, she thought it was very good. She hand-copied the entire book and took it to her sister, who was also suffering from many ailments. By the time she returned home, Ms. Tong noticed that she was no longer in pain. It was at that moment when she realized all her illnesses had gone away after reading the Falun Dafa book twice. She was completely cured and became healthier than ever.
