(Minghui.org) People who misunderstand Falun Gong usually have thoughts such as: “How come those people would not go to the hospital after they got sick? Without taking medicine, how could they recover? They are so stupid.” In actuality, many Falun Gong practitioners used to have serious diseases. They tried Chinese medical treatments, Western medical treatments, and even folk medicines, but none of them cured anything. Then they started to practice Falun Gong. Within a short time, their illnesses disappeared. They went to the hospital, and all their tests were normal. They witnessed the miracle of Dafa, and then, of course, they wanted to continue studying the Fa and practicing the exercises. Now for the past dozen years, they all have been very healthy. Since they do not have any health problems, they naturally do not need to take medication. Occasionally they might catch a cold or a cough or something minor, but as long as they study the Fa sincerely and do the exercises, they improve their xinxing and soon recover.

I want to tell you my own experience. Before I practiced Falun Gong, I looked for doctors everywhere but could not find a cure. After practicing Falun Gong I got rid of the sickness that I used to have and I have now been very healthy for more than a dozen years. I have no need to take any medicine.

In August 1998, I began to cultivate Falun Dafa. Because I was young, I did not have any major diseases. However, I had a gynecological inflammation that could not be healed for a long time. In order to cure it completely, I went to the local hospital, city level hospital, Chinese medicine hospital, the Chenguan hospital, and even to a private clinic run by some retired doctors. Each time it got better with treatment, but after a while the disease would always return and was never completely cured. Perhaps because I had visited so many doctors when I had the first disease, I unfortunately got a sexually transmitted disease—genital warts, a skin disease that is difficult to cure. Since childhood I was a simple person. In other peoples’ eyes, I was very traditional. Every day I just did my job well, and I kept busy learning technical skills. I never went to any entertainment places. Besides, my husband did not have this disease, so how could I have gotten it? I felt ashamed. I used to have endless hope for my career and for my life, but now I dropped into a valley of utter despair.

The first day after I checked into the hospital, the doctor used a laser treatment and prescribed some very expensive medication that cost over 1,000 yuan. At that time our salary was only 400-500 yuan per month. Both my husband and I had the same thought: “If the disease could be healed, so be it.” My husband also bought some herbs in a Chinese medicine shop to be used to supplement the treatments. On the way home, I was thinking: My disease was costing us so much money. It was said the disease could recur later and could be transmitted to my husband. I was still very depressed. Although I had taken so many treatments, my disease was not healed. Within seven days, the wound that resulted from the laser treatment had not yet healed when new warts began to grow again. The doctor was surprised that they returned so quickly. The laser treatment was used a second time, plus IV injections and imported medications. Each day the treatments and medicines cost me 200 yuan. For three days the cost was 600 yuan and yet I was still not cured.

It was summertime and my wound would not heal. Looking outside at the blue sky and the blooming flowers and all the green grass, I wondered why my life had come to an end so soon. From the living room to the bedroom to the kitchen—all were filled with my medications. Looking at the mirror, I looked weak and old and not like a decent human being. It was very hard for me to be subjected to all of the medical treatments and to follow the regimen set up by the hospital. For one month I had both oral medicines and skin treatments. The wound was finally healed. One day I discovered that new genital warts had began to grow yet again.

By then I remembered that somebody told me about Falun Gong about two months earlier. At that time two Falun Gong practitioners came to my office to make a copy of their exercise CD. One of them was a lady in her 60s. My first thought was: How come this Aunty has such delicate skin and does not look like old? When she heard that we did not charge for helping them copy the CD, she went downstairs to buy us candy. I was thinking: “This Aunty copies the CD for other people and moreover, she spent her own money to buy candy for us. What a kind person she is.” She told me that she used to have several major diseases and that after she practiced Falun Gong, she got healed. Falun Gong teaches people to be good in line with “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.” She encouraged us to practice Falun Gong also. At that time I was very busy with my studies and work. I thought: I am too busy; let my older family members learn it. That practitioner gave me a book called Falun Gong, and I brought it home and showed it to my father-in-law. I also selected some parts of the book to read, such as on cultivation of the mind and how to be a good person. (At that time I did not know I should read the book from beginning to end.) When I saw others I would say Falun Gong was very miraculous. Due to the influence of atheism, I was afraid if others knew I was practicing Qigong I would be embarrassed, so I did not study it sincerely. Now I had gotten this disease that could not be healed. The medical books also said my disease would recur, and if it lasted too long, it would eventually turn into cancer. I thought I should go to that Aunty to learn Falun Gong. If that did not work, I planned to go to the hospital in the afternoon.

I went to her house. She was the organizer for the Falun Gong practice site. She was very kind and warmhearted. She told me, “Study the Fa well and it will be no problem to recover from the disease. True practitioners have nothing to do with the hospital.” Then I half believed and half doubted. One question wandered through my mind: “Does it really work?” Then the Aunty taught me the five exercises.

I spent one morning in her house to practice the exercises. After I came home I found that my skin disease was healed. I was so amazed. I thought: “Since I had recovered, there was no need to go to the hospital.” I started to sincerely watch Master Li Hongzhi's lecture DVDs. I followed the DVDs to refine my exercise movements. Soon I noticed that my original stomachaches, skin allergies, problems with constipation, and all of my other diseases were all healed.

However, a month later, when I was seriously studying the Fa and practicing the exercises, the sexually transmitted disease re-appeared. Although I knew it was Master who was purifying my body and pushing the disease from the roots out of my body, my mind was not stable and it got worse. I thought maybe I should go to the doctor. But from my previous experiences, I knew the hospital had no ability to cure my disease and that it could not be healed completely. I also thought if I did not go to the hospital, others would say I was ignorant. I told the organizer about my situation. She said: “It’s OK. You only need to study the Fa more and go to the practice site to practice. Don’t give it a second thought. If you don’t think about it, soon it will be healed.”

I did actually stop thinking about obtaining a cure for my disease. Every day I went to work and during my spare time I would study the Fa. In the morning I went to the practice site to do the exercises. I did not get attached to the thought of whether my disease would be healed or not. Unknowingly the disease was healed. The skin disease was completely gone and did not come back. Since that time, nearly 14 years have passed. I did not go to the hospital again. I did not take one single pill. My health was better than when I was 17-18 years old. Falun Dafa is true science.

Think about it, everyone: I experienced this disease which could not be cured by any means; however, through studying the Fa and practicing the exercises, the disease disappeared without any trace. After that, whenever I had some discomfort, I would sincerely study the Fa and practice the exercises, and soon the discomfort would pass. Non-practitioners would suffer for a long time even after they took medicine, had injections, or got IV injections. Before I practiced Falun Gong, I had a tooth problem. Whenever I had a toothache, the pain would last for over a week. The toothache would even wake me up while I was sleeping. However, after I started to practice Falun Gong, sometimes when my tooth ached, the pain symptoms were different than before. On the one hand, there was much less pain and on the other hand, the pain felt different. When I would eat cold or hot food, I would not feel pain, but when I drank warm water, the tooth would suddenly begin to hurt. At those times I would look within: Recently did I have an attachment to eating food? Or did I do something else wrong? I would not treat it as disease, and it would go away quickly.

How come Falun Dafa is so miraculous and how could it be more effective than modern medicine? As everyone knows, there are many ways to cure diseases, including Western medicine, Chinese medicine, acupuncture, massage, and acupressure. Actually, cultivation is more marvelous than all of those. After purification, even at the beginning of your Falun Gong practice, you will not have any sicknesses. Moreover, cultivation has deeper and more profound implications. By reading Master’s book Zhuan Falun, I now understood why sickness would be healed when the person started to do the exercises. Master Li said: “There is a transition at the lowest level of cultivation practice, and this is to purify your body completely. All of the bad things on your mind, the karmic field surrounding your body, and the elements that make your body unhealthy will be cleaned out. ” (Zhuan Falun) Master Li also said: “Cultivation practice can treat illness, but it is not to be used for the purpose of healing illness. ” (Zhuan Falun)

In this day and age there are lots of bad things added to what we eat, the environment has degraded, and water is now badly polluted. Nearly everyone is threatened by diseases all of the time, so people do not know what to eat. Living in the same environment, Dafa practitioners can maintain a healthy body through practicing Falun Gong. For a dozen years or 20 years, they get check-ups and their test results are normal. Dafa is indeed very supernormal.

A healthy body is obtained when starting Dafa cultivation. Dafa could elevate people’s moral standards by requiring us to be good people in line with “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance” and to be considerate to others. When facing conflict we should always look within, and then resolve the problems with reason and rationality. Dafa benefits the family stability and society’s security. Falun Dafa has been spread to over 100 countries and regions over the past 20 years and there have been over 3000 proclamations throughout the world on the benefits and goodness of Falun Dafa. In addition, the book Zhuan Falun by Master Li has been translated into over 20 languages.

Everyone, please do not be fooled by the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) controlled mouthpiece from now on. Please get over your prejudice and hatred toward Dafa and come to understand what Falun Gong really is. If you read the book Zhuan Falun, you will benefit from it in many ways. Do not miss the valuable opportunity that occurs less than once each millennium.
