Overcoming Illness Through Practising Falun Dafa

For a long time I was on medication for a number of illnesses. Due to taking medication for so long, I developed osteoporosis and had a low white blood cell count. I had anaemia and serious rheumatism. I had broken many bones and was paralysed and bedridden. Because my femur developed necrosis, I had to have three steel pins inserted in it. I couldn't walk without crutches and the pain was impossible to endure. I couldn't even take care of myself. During this most difficult period, I was fortunate to learn Falun Dafa. I decided to get the steel pins taken out so I could practice the exercises. After examining me, however, the Chief of Medicine told me that the pins could not be taken out because the femur was flat. I would be paralysed if they did. He told me to wait and see, but the chances were slim.

After I got home I thought to myself, "I cannot live my life [like this] on crutches. I have to fight for myself." Everyone said that Falun Dafa was great, so I decided to try it out. Because I had been indoctrinated with the evil Communist Party culture since I was a child, I didn't believe in anything. With the attitude of "trying it out" I studied the Fa. With Master's photo in front of me, I begged Master to help me get into the lotus position. Master helped me, and with great difficulty I put my legs into the lotus position. When I did, at first there was no pain. Five minutes later, the pain started. The pins in my bones dug inward. Holding [the lotus position] for ten minutes was like ten years. It was so painful I couldn't tell my tears from my sweat.

Even with the three pins in my bones, I did the practice everyday. I meditated twice a day and increased the time by one to two-minute increments. I practised the standing exercise three times a day, for about 30 minutes in the beginning. I maintained this regiment for three months. My condition changed rapidly, so I thought it was time to get the pins out.

The doctors took scans at the hospital. They were shocked when they compared the new pictures with the old ones. My formerly flat femur was now round. The quality of the bone had returned to normal. This was a miracle to modern medicine. I told the doctors that it was the miracle of Dafa. The Chief of Medicine agreed that it was fine to take out the pins. The pins were sturdily inserted in the bone. During the operation, the table literally shook during the procedure. [The surgeons] had a tough time taking the longest pin out as it was in very deep. The Chief of Medicine and the surgeons all commented that [my recovery] was a miracle.
