The study included investigation of the following items: documentation of the medical treatments received by Dafa practitioners before they began to practise, a health profile of each practitioner comparing before and after they began practising cultivation, Falun Gong’s contents and the daily life of practitioners.
Random sampling was used by the Investigation and Study Team, in which 12 out of 32 Falun Gong practitioners were selected. The investigation period was from April 23 to June 24 in 2001.
The contents of the examination included:
- The health condition of organs and systems of the body;
- The objective conditions and subjective opinions of the subjects in the investigation;
- The dynamic mental condition of the subjects in the investigation.
The physical conditions of the 12 subjects in the investigation were 3 out of the 12 were under 40 years old, 8 of them were female and 10 of the 12 practitioners had been practising Falun Gong for more than 2 years.
All the subjects in the investigation had some sort of illness before practising Falun Gong, among which there existed:
-- 3 with stomach and intestinal problems (ulcer and inflammation);
-- 1 with respiratory track problems;
-- 8 with relationship problems, such as mental depression and fatigue.

It also involves spiritual cultivation through improving one’s moral character and attempting to live by the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance. Practitioners voluntarily participate in Fa study [studying the teachings of Falun Gong founder Mr. Li Hongzhi] and practice the Falun Gong exercises together.

Among the 12 people, the results of the test were positive for 9 of them.
The clinical medical examination results for the subjects were that the practitioners displayed no signs of illness, normal figures for chemical examination index of blood and urine and no pathological responses after a comprehensive body examination. All subjects under investigation had normal mental health, being stable in mind, positive and having proper reactive responses. The subjective opinions of the subjects under investigation are as following: Practising Falun Gong has improved both their mental and physical health.
