(Clearwisdom.net) I am 73 years old, and I came here to Australia to visit my daughter five months ago. In the past several months, I have been practicing Falun Gong. It has been an unforgettable experience and I have benefited a lot from it.
Ever since I was pregnant with my little daughter, I have had problems with my legs. I could not walk a long distance, nor was I able to go up the stairs. When I was China, I visited many well-known medical doctors in various places, but none of them could provide a cure, and I felt very badly. As early as three years ago, my daughter in Australia called and introduced Falun Gong to me, but I was not convinced. In the past three years, she mentioned it many times during our phone conversations, but I did not pay attention to it. When my husband was severely ill, my daughter came back to Mainland China from Australia. She encouraged me very often to have a try, so I finally got started. Because there were many things to take care of, I forgot to practice three or four days later. However, the exercise music started playing in my ears from nowhere, and it was very loud. At that moment, I realized it must be Teacher's reminding me to continue to practice. So I went on to do the exercises. On the following day, however, I forgot to practice again, and once again I was able to hear the loud exercise music. It went on like this for three consecutive days, and I never forgot to practice after that. Moreover, since then I have considered doing the exercises and Fa-study as the most important things for me everyday. Thus, after 13 days of practice, I was able to slowly walk up the stairs from the first floor to the seventh floor. This was previously unimaginable for me. My friends and relatives were all stunned after hearing about this.
After arriving in Australia, I diligently continued the daily practice, and my feet gradually became stronger. I suffered from a condition of the brain before, which caused me to cough frequently. I visited doctors many times because of that, but it didn't help. Now, all these have disappeared.
Recently, I read a report, in which 17 U.S. Dafa practitioners' blood samples were analyzed. The results showed that the life span of their blood neutrophil cells was extended due to the practice. The life span of everyday people's blood neutrophil cells is very short; and even short outside the body; that is, they can only be kept alive for 2 to 3 hours even at a low temperature. However, practitioners' blood neutrophil cells have significantly longer life spans. Some were kept alive for at least 60 hours. Moreover, these cells can greatly enhance one's immune system.
Not long after starting the practice, I sometimes forgot to take my medication to reduce blood pressure. But I still tried to remind myself about this, thinking that I only practiced for half a year, and could not be careless. After reading that article, I felt like I could do without the medication. That was more than two weeks ago. At the beginning, I felt uncomfortable, but everything was fine after two and a half days. I measured my blood pressure twice later, and it was normal both times. To keep healthy without taking medication used to be too good to be true, but now it has become a reality.
I am very grateful for Master Li's teachings, which not only saved me but changed my body fundamentally. After 43 years of being unable to walk a long distance, now I can walk like normal. When walking with friends, I can even catch up when occasionally falling behind. My blood pressure went back to normal, and years of medication have stopped. My nagging cough is also gone. I will determinedly change my rigid mentalities and continue my cultivation until I reach Consummation.
