(Clearwisdom.net) I’d like to share a few stories of people becoming fit and healing illnesses after practicing Falun Gong.

1. When I woke up one morning in 1994, one side of my face and mouth, as well as my eye would not move. A hospital diagnosis revealed that this was facial nerve palsy caused by a stroke. I tried many treatments including Chinese medicine, Western medicine, qigong, acupuncture, and electrotherapy, but none of them were helpful. I was later fortunate to attend Teacher Li Hongzhi’s Fa lectures. At the class, I was completely focused on the Fa that Teacher was telling us about and forgot about my facial paralysis. On the third day of the lecture series, the side of my mouth that couldn’t move started twitching intensely for a while (it hadn't moved even under electrolytic testing). At the end of the ten-day lectures, my entire face had recovered. Two months later, people couldn’t even tell that I had facial nerve palsy.

2. My mother had many illnesses before she began practicing Falun Dafa. She had coronary heart disease and had taken Chinese medicine for years. Two days before attending Teacher’s Fa lectures, she had a heart attack. Hospital treatments didn’t make her feel better; rather they made things worse. When she went to the Fa lectures, she needed help to walk. At the first lecture, when Teacher rectified our bodies, he asked us to stand up, and then to stomp, following his hand gestures. When Teacher waved his hand, a cool and comfortable feeling came to my mother's heart. After the first lecture, she could walk by herself. By the end of the ten-day lecture series, she was disease-free.

3. A lady in her sixties in Jilin Province had rheumatoid arthritis. When it was at its worst, she stayed in bed for more than six months and was not able to care for herself. She lost a lot of hair from the side effects of medicine. In 1998, after less than a year of practicing Falun Gong, she was able to go to the exercise site by herself. Also, the area where she lost her hair started growing new hair.

4. Farmer Zhao from Yitong County, Jilin Province was a young man in his twenties in 1996. He had a car accident in which he suffered broken legs. During surgery, his bones were fused incorrectly at the wrong locations, resulting from medical malpractice, causing his legs to be of different lengths. The situation kept deteriorating, and the two femoral heads formulated a necrosis. He had intense pain in his legs and relied on crutches. His whole spine had pathological changes, and the situation continued to deteriorate. The doctor told him that the inside of his spine had started turning black. He thus spent tens of thousands of yuan and more than a year to seek treatment, but his efforts were fruitless. His family's entire savings were used up. Both the doctors and his family felt that he didn't have many days to live. Just when he felt hopeless, a doctor told him, “There is still one more option. Trying Falun Gong may save your life.” He then began practicing Falun Gong. In less than a year, all of his symptoms disappeared. Even the leg bones returned to normal length. Not only was he able to walk without crutches, but he could also climb up to do house repairs.
