(Minghui.org) After I got married, I had difficulty sleeping but did not know why. I had neurasthenia and suffered from low blood pressure, sometimes as low as 60/40. My pulse rate was 50 to 60.

I also always felt dizzy and lacked energy. Later I got rheumatism and chronic bronchitis. Every spring and autumn, I had to have injections. I also had serious allergies. One time I was sent to the hospital emergency room. During those several minutes when I was passed out, I went to the netherworld. I always carried disposable needles and medicine in my pockets and my backpack and kept them beside my pillow in case of an emergency. My husband worried that I might die as he slept, so he often went without sleeping.

Serious health problems

Due to my allergies, my circulatory system did not work properly, and there was insufficient blood flow to my heart and brain. My legs were swollen. Sometimes I was incontinent. My heart rate was very slow. My face looked gray and my lips blue and purple. My blood was so thick that it was difficult for my heart to pump it. My heart felt terrible. I feared that it might stop beating at any time. I was already taking heart pills and they were increased from two to ten but it didn't help. I also suffered from lower back problems. My left thigh hurt a lot, which made it difficult to walk.

Medical experts stumped

I consulted with many experts, but they were not able to agree on what was wrong except to say that I had neurosis and problems with my nervous system. My symptoms grew steadily worse and my entire right side was affected. Also, my tongue would not work properly when I tried to talk.

I knew that my life was coming to an end. I just could not understand how others were able to find a medicine to cure them, but I could not. Also, many doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. I felt that life was unfair.

My husband begs me not to give up

I went home, lay on the couch, and told my husband to prepare for my death. He grabbed my hand, crying, “Let’s go to a larger hospital in the city to have you checked again.” I said no, because wherever we went, it would be the same. He then said, “Let’s believe in Buddha.” I said no, because I saw many people going to temples to burn incense, kowtowing and burning paper, but they talked nonsense, argued, abused others, and did all kinds of bad things. My husband said, "We should try anything so that you can live." I said that I would rather die than do anything weird.

My husband kept suggesting that I practice qigong. I said no, because qigong was for curing diseases, and some qigong practitioners behaves abnormally and worshipped bad things. My husband kept suggesting: "The wife of the Party secretary at the hospital practices qigong, and she does not behave like a crazy person. Her qigong has got to be good, otherwise the Party secretary would not let her practice it. You should go and see. Maybe we should believe in something, because you are suffering from so many health problems."

My heart was touched and I agree, "OK, if this qigong is different from the others, I will learn it. That would be better than simply waiting to die."

Learning Falun Gong

On May 3, 1996, I visited the Party secretary’s house. He proudly said that his wife practiced Falun Gong. He said, “Falun Gong is very good. I have read the book. It is a superior cultivation method from the Buddha school for becoming a Buddha.” I asked him, “Can humans become Buddhas through cultivation?” He said they could, because the book said so. Then he talked about how good the book was. I said, “I will learn it. Humans can become Buddhas through cultivation, that sounds so sacred. Where can I learn it?”

He said there was a class at the workers' union in town. I worried that my heart would not allow me to walk that far. His wife said, "No problem, let’s go." I took my heart pills with me. On the way there I felt very good, like I'd never felt before. When I got there, the house was full of people and Master’s lecture videotape was playing. Nobody was in charge, but everyone behaved very well.

I listened to the second talk: “The Issue of the Celestial Eye.” While I was listening, I got chilly. Then I slept without realizing it. After Master finished speaking, I woke up and remembered all the details of the lecture. I came to realize why I had so many diseases. Why did I go to sleep? Because there was a problem with my brain. I felt chilly because Master was purifying my body for me.

Great improvements

I was in such a great mood on my way home--I had not felt so positive in over 13 years. When I climbed the stairs, it seemed like somebody was pushing me from behind. After I got home, my husband and daughter said, almost at the same, that I looked better.

It seemed like I had changed into a different person. My husband asked me how much money I had paid for the entrance ticket. I said there wasn't any charge. He could not believe it and asked, “Since when did qigong groups stop charging money?”

I went to bed. My husband piled up my medicines next to my pillow. He went to fetch some water, and when he came back, he saw that I was sleeping. The next morning he told me that I had been sleeping so soundly that he hated to wake me up. Indeed, I had not slept so well for 13 years. I said excitedly, “This gong is very good. Now I have hope.”

The whole family benefits

The next day, I went back to watch Master’s lecture and brought back several Dafa books and Master’s photograph. My whole family was delighted. My daughter said, “Please put them up on the wall in my room.” She got up late in the evening and started scratching her head. I woke up and asked her what the matter was. She said her head itched. I told her that Master was purifying her head.

When my daughter was two years old, she was playing in her kindergarten. She was pushed over and ended up with a concussion. But now that problem was gone.

Beginning the day I put Master’s photo in my daughter’s room, her grades in her class improved significantly. She went from near the bottom of her class to near the top. She went on to attend a good high school and later passed the college exam and attended college. Now she is working in a city in the south.

My husband used to suffer bronchitis and fevers. Since I began practicing Falun Gong, his diseases have been healed. Even without having a single injection or any medicine, I am now free of all illnesses because Master has purified my body. My whole family is now living very happy lives. From the bottom of my heart, I appreciate our compassionate Master for saving my whole family.
