My 78-year-old stepfather is a retired worker. In April of 2006, he began to suffer from oedema, affecting his entire body. He had to go to a hospital for treatment, where he was diagnosed with a low-protein syndrome. His treatment consisted of monthly transfusions of 2 to 3 bottles of protein drugs. The wholesale price of each bottle of protein drug was 260 yuan, while his monthly retirement income was only about 600 yuan.
Spending so much on his transfusions, my family became poor and were very worried. At the time I said to him, "The drugs can only keep your condition from deteriorating. Only Falun Dafa can truly bring your health back."
He had already quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) after realising their evil hand in not only ruthlessly persecuting Falun Gong but also bringing harm to the entire nation, in this sense he was well aware of the truth about Falun Gong. He even constantly recited in his mind, "Falun Dafa is good." He agreed with my suggestion and started to practise Falun Gong. After that he started to seriously study the Falun Gong teachings and persisted in doing the Falun Gong exercises. He said, "I now give myself to Dafa."
My stepfather put aside all the medicine he used to take. He suffered from chronic constipation for many years and was unable to have any bowel movement without taking medicine. In the first month of practising Falun Gong he did not regard the problem as a disease and paid it no mind. As a result, the chronic constipation that had tormented him for 30 years vanished. However, he fell ill with this low-protein syndrome three times in the first three months after he started to practise Falun Gong. According to doctors, a patient with low-protein syndrome should never stop taking their medicine. When the syndrome reoccurred the first time, he was in a serious condition and his foot arches became badly swollen. Greatly worried, my mother intended to send him to a hospital. He said: "I am a Falun Gong practitioner. I will be OK because my Teacher is taking care of me." With his firm belief in Teacher and Falun Dafa, he went through the test of life and death. His condition became better during the last two recurrences of the syndrome.
My stepfather has practised Falun Gong for about 9 months now and the oedema caused by the low-protein syndrome has never reoccurred. Now he is in good physical condition and is able to save the large sum of money he previously had to spend on medicine. My mother said joyously, "It is Falun Dafa that has given him a new life."
Through his own experience, my stepfather witnessed the miracle of Dafa. I genuinely hope that all people deceived by the CCP's lies can have a chance to come to know the truth about Falun Gong and read the miraculous book, Zhuan Falun, so that they too can benefit from this great practice.
