(Minghui.org) I had suffered from constant joint pain all my life. Adding to my misery was a breast cancer diagnosis when I was 52.
I am 74 years old now, energetic and healthy. My illnesses disappeared after I discovered Falun Gong. Falun Gong has also guided me to be a better person. The physical and spiritual benefits I have received from the practice are enormous. Having seen the healing power of Falun Gong, my mother and my son also became practitioners.
Endless Suffering Prior to Cultivation
I had suffered from rheumatoid arthritis since childhood. The pain attacked every joint, making my life miserable. I tried every Western and Chinese medical treatment available, but nothing worked. I finally gave up hope for getting better.
In 1993, at the age of 52, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had surgery, and then had a chemotherapy pump installed to stop the cancer from spreading further. The pump was infected with bacteria, causing septicemia. I developed high fever and lost consciousness. I almost died.
After the pump was removed, I decided to stop the chemotherapy and switched to traditional Chinese medicine. I then started to lose my appetite and could not sleep well. My health slowly deteriorated. I felt desperate and helpless.
Thinking of my three school-aged children, my husband who had heart disease, my elderly mother's need for care, and the financial pressure, I became extremely worried and started to seek treatment through qigong. I tried two qigong practices before my colleague introduced Falun Gong to me in 1996.
A Ray of Hope
One day after the Lantern Festival, one of my colleagues told me about how she and her three sisters had benefited from practicing Falun Gong. She also gave me a ticket to a seminar to watch DVDs of the Fa teachings. I went reluctantly. Surprisingly, I started to feel comfortable and could walk home steadily.
I watched the whole set of DVDs. I then purchased Zhuan Falun, Explaining the Content of Falun Dafa, and Falun Gong from a bookstore. I could not wait to read them and finished Zhuan Falun in one week. I also participated in group exercises. I studied the Fa and did the exercises every day. That was the start of my new life.
It has been twenty years since I began cultivation practice. I have been healthy this whole time. All of my illnesses disappeared. Falun Gong gave me a second life!
My Mother Becomes a Practitioner
Seeing the changes in me, my mother, who is in her 80s, also started to practice Falun Gong. After she started cultivating, her pain from serious heart disease and rheumatism was much relieved. She even could take care of herself again before she died at the age of 91.
My Son's Life Was Renewed Also
My son suffered from severe pustular psoriasis, a rare skin disease. When it attacked, his skin developed sores that seeped a foul smelling pus, and then eventually peeled off. He had tried all kinds of treatments, but to no avail.
He came to see me one day in May 2005. The disease had attacked again. I told him about how Falun Gong had restored my health. He started to read Zhuan Falun. As he was reading the book, his skin started to change back to a normal color. His disease was gone within two weeks after he started cultivation, and has not come back since.
Our whole family thanks Master from the bottom of our hearts!
The daughter of one of my son's colleagues also had the same disease. After she started practicing Falun Gong and quit the Chinese Communist Party and its affiliated organizations, her disease also disappeared.
