(Clearwisdom.net) In the summer of 2003, a 49-year-old female retired worker from a corporation in Chongqing City fell ill with diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. She felt unbearable pain all over her body and later went to Chongqing City Hospital. After she was discharged from the hospital, her face, palms, and the bottoms of her feet all appeared yellowish and her lips appeared dark. She had to take a lot of expensive medicine. Her medicine alone cost more than 200 yuan (1) every month.

When I saw her on June 18, 2004, she looked very worried and told me that she had high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. She said that she would have to take medicine for the rest of her life. However, after she took the medicine, it did not seem to help. My friend spent nearly 4,000 yuan on cardiovascular treatment equipment. A few days ago, she went to the hospital to have a check-up, and learned that she had developed gallstones. She was planning to have to have an operation. However, the operation expenses would cost her over 10,000 yuan. Since she felt so bad physically, and because she had to receive large numbers of blood transfusions, my friend couldn't do anything but shake her head and complain about her fate.

I said, "Even though you have taken quite a lot of medicine, none of your illnesses have been cured. Neither did that advanced treatment equipment help you. By practicing Falun Dafa, we can achieve the effect of opening up hundreds of energy channels and be free from illness. It is so convenient and it's free. How great that is!" As soon as this woman heard about Falun Dafa, she asked quite suspiciously about the "Self-immolation incident at Tiananmen Square." I explained to her thoroughly the whole incident, which was a hoax directed by Jiang's political regime to purposefully frame Falun Dafa for the sake of his own political gain. I also told her the truth about the persecution of Falun Dafa over the past few years. I mentioned that people who truly believe that Falun Gong is good will have good fortune. After she understood the true situation, she said with great excitement; "So that's the truth of Falun Dafa. Since Falun Dafa is so good, I want to practice it with you."

As I only began practicing Falun Dafa last year, I didn't have any Dafa books. So I borrowed Falun Gong from another practitioner, and lent her my exercises tape and the tapes of Teacher's lectures in Guangzhou.

On the third day, my friend came to my home cheerfully and told me that now her face, hands, and feet didn't appear jaundiced, and her lips had become rosy. She was so happy. She felt that her whole body was very light when walking up and down stairs and she didn't feel tired any more. She felt like a normal, healthy person. After she went to the hospital to have a medical check-up, they found that her blood pressure had become normal. Her gall bladder didn't experience pain any more, so she didn't feel like she needed to take medicine any longer, and neither was she thinking about using that cardiovascular equipment. After I learned this, I felt truly happy for her.

Two days later, my friend came to my home again and told me that all her diseases had been cured. She used to go out and play cards and gamble, and recently she always lost money. In addition, she quarreled with another person during a game. Later, my friend realized that as a practitioner one should not have such bad behavior. So she decided not to play cards any more. Within half a month, my friend could sit in the lotus position for over 20 minutes. Falun Dafa's wonderfulness gradually demonstrated itself in every area of her life.

When her husband came back home from working in another province, he saw that his wife's face was glowing with health. She was in very good spirits, as if she were another person. She cleaned up their home and kept it tidy. After she finished doing the housework, she squeezed in some time during the day to study the Fa (2) and do the exercises. At night, she copied teacher's articles. Her husband was very glad and said, "I didn't expect that Falun Dafa could have such an amazing effect. It not only healed your illnesses, but also helped you get rid of your bad habit of playing cards. It's truly great!" Their daughter added, "Since Mom started practicing Falun Dafa, she tells whoever she meets about how good Falun Dafa is and the fact that she doesn't need to take medicine or injections, or go through an operation. It was Teacher Li that saved her and brought good fortune to our whole family!"

This new practitioner said that her greatest wish was to obtain a copy of Teacher's book, Zhuan Falun, study the Fa well, hold her actions according to Teacher's requirements, strive forward and cultivate diligently in order to be a qualified practitioner. She also hoped that more and more people would come to learn Falun Dafa, obtain a new life and have a truly wonderful future.
