(Minghui.org) I am a retired military doctor but, in spite of my training, I wasn’t able to cure my own nasopharyngeal cancer. Fortunately, I came across Falun Dafa and recovered. Now in my 70s, I feel even better than I did in my 30s. Falun Dafa gives me hope and guides me on my spiritual path. Like me, my family members have also benefited from Dafa. 

With boundless gratitude towards Dafa, I would like to share some of our stories.

Taking Up Falun Dafa

In 1998, when I was 48, I was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer. My nose was very dry and it was very painful to breathe. I had to wear a mask 24 hours a day to relieve the pain. My nose had a bloody discharge, making it difficult for me to eat. The pain often kept me awake at night.

In addition to this cancer, I had more than ten other chronic diseases, including insomnia, rheumatoid arthritis, constipation, joint pain, and stomach problems. Despite being a doctor myself, there was nothing I could do to cure my diseases. I visited many famous hospitals around the country, but to no avail.

A relative of mine practices Falun Dafa. When he heard about my condition, he introduced the practice to me. I was interested in Falun Dafa’s health benefits and agreed to give it a try. After practicing for just three days, the bloody discharge in my nose had stopped. After a week, the pain went away and I was finally able to sleep soundly at night. Eating was no longer painful for me either. As I became more steadfast in practicing, I continued to experience the power of Falun Dafa. A month later, all my chronic diseases had disappeared.

Family Benefits from Dafa 

Last June, a distant relative of mine was diagnosed with lung cancer. He was a farmer and couldn’t afford expensive medical treatment. The doctor said he only had three months left. 

I went to visit him, and brought Falun Dafa books and audio lectures, and the exercise music. I shared my story with him and suggested he try practicing Falun Dafa, instead of having chemotherapy, which was not only expensive, but would also damage his body. He agreed. Since then, his condition began to improve and he is now doing well. 

My relative’s grandson used to have epileptic fits. His family took the boy to see several doctors, but none of them could provide effective treatment for him. After they encouraged the young boy to practice Falun Dafa, he no longer had any episodes.

My sister had a condition resulting in sudden fainting. She once fainted and fell into a fire pit. Luckily, there was no fire at the time, otherwise she could have died. After seeing the changes in me from practicing Dafa, she also took up the practice and has now recovered.

Our father suffered a stroke in his later years and was in a vegetative state. My sister (also a practitioner) took good care of him, including cleaning and turning his body, and feeding him. He was bedridden for 2.5 years but never had bedsores. A similar thing happened to our mother, who suffered a stroke and went blind in both eyes. My sister took care of our mother for seven years, until she peacefully passed away.

In addition to caring for our parents, my sister also helped care for her sister-in-law, who was bedridden from a stroke. Despite years of hard work with these caring duties, she never complained, but always tried to be considerate of other people. People in the village all spoke highly of her. She always tells them that she wouldn’t be able to do it if she didn’t practice Falun Dafa.
