Two of My Family Members Overcame Their Illnesses Practicing Falun Dafa

I am a Falun Dafa practitioner from a village in Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province. I will list two stories involving members of my family who have personally benefited from practicing Falun Dafa.

My Sister No Longer Has Diabetes

One of my older sisters is 56 years old, and lives in Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province. Her husband is now retired, and they no longer have to worry about making ends meet. However, she was, until recently, very ill with diabetes. Their children all helped pay for the various medical treatments she needed.

Over time, my sister's health problems became more severe and she had to depend on injecting insulin daily. In January 2009, when I visited her, I was told that she had been bedridden for the past thirteen days.

I told her that Falun Dafa was very good at helping people rid themselves of health problems, and gave her several examples of practitioners' stories that showed this. I expressed my wish that she could practice it too. Eventually, she agreed to learn the exercises. Since she was not able to stand up for long periods of time, nor could she bend down, I could only teach her the fifth exercise, the sitting meditation. I also briefly showed her how to do the first and third standing exercises. After that she said she wanted a break.

Normally, my sister would need help to move around, but without realizing it, she got out of bed and went to the kitchen by herself. I said, "Look, you can walk by yourself." My sister suddenly realized it and was shocked, "Yes! How can I get out of bed and walk by myself?" I immediately called her husband to come to see. Upon witnessing her walking freely, he exclaimed, "Wow! How can it be?" I replied, "It is just so miraculous!"
My elder sister kept on practicing, and she is now a completely healthy person.

My Brother-in-Law Suffered From a Stroke, But Is Now Healthy Once Again

The husband of another one of my sisters is 66 years old, and lives near Harbin City. In 1998, both this sister and brother-in-law started to practice Falun Dafa. Before they were able to truly understand the practice, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) started to fabricate lies about Falun Dafa and persecute its practitioners. Due to the intense pressure of the persecution, my brother-in-law gave up the practice in fear of being arrested and tortured.

In 2000, he had a stoke and developed a brain haemorrhage. For the next eight years there had been no improvement from the treatment he received. During that time, he twice stayed in Jiamusi City hospital and once in the county hospital. When he finally came out of the hospital, his mental state was unbalanced, he was not able to urinate properly, his entire body was swollen and he only spoke a few words each day. He also looked a lot older than before. Friends and relatives were all worried about him, as nobody could provide any help.

My sister and brother-in-law were both quite poor and had no savings. They depended on their four sons to pay 100 yuan each month so they could buy medicine for him. But all the sons were also poor, and as time went by, they were not willing to pay anymore. My sister would cry each time she returned from their sons' homes, asking for money. She kept this information from her husband, so as not to worry him, fearing that it could make his illness worse.

In January 2009, I brought my brother-in-law to my home to meet another practitioner and listen to his own experience of how he was once paralyzed in his legs, but now, since practicing Falun Dafa, he is a healthy person again. Upon hearing this, my brother-in-law wanted to renew his cultivation practice. My brother-in-law stayed the night with us, but he did not bring any medicine with him. The next morning, I worried that his health could deteriorate if he stayed without his medicine for too long, so I decided to send him back home. Before he left, with an uncertain look, he asked me, "If I truly want to practice cultivation, will Master take care of me?" I answered firmly, "Yes. When you treat yourself as a true cultivator, Master will take care of you."

When my brother-in-law returned home he started to practice Falun Dafa again. As a result, his health became better each day. He is now able to do all kinds of work on his farm, and other villagers are all amazed at how he has recovered. A person who once had his coffin prepared, waiting to die, is now able to do all kinds of chores, and looks much younger. Upon seeing the miraculous changes in my brother-in-law, my eldest sister, also came back to practice Falun Dafa.
