Seven Days of Dafa Cultivation Cured the Physical Problems that Plagued Me for Seven Years

(Clearwisdom.net) During the first month after giving birth to my child in 1989, I had pains all over my body. I couldn't bear any blast from the air conditioner or from the fan, no matter how hot the weather was. At the end of the first month I immediately started to seek medical treatment. None of the copious quantities of Chinese medicines I took could bring any improvement. There is an old saying, "giving birth again can cure the problems caused by giving birth before." So I conceived again but unfortunately had a miscarriage in the third month. However, the suffering I experienced in the second pregnancy didn't improve my condition one bit.

The misfortunes didn't come singly. Besides the old problem, I had a new problem ¨C a herniated disc. I still remember that day it first slipped out. I suffered such severe pain that I couldn't move. Several men from my work unit carried me on a stretcher to the different floors of the hospital for medical tests, including a CT scan, and for treatments involving stretching and massage. The pain stopped temporarily. Several months later, though, when I tried to carry a bucket full of water, the disc slipped again. Since then, it has slipped so often that I have to have a special medical bed at home. The doctor would visit me every two or three days to treat me with massage and acupuncture. Sometimes when the pain struck at night and the doctor couldn't come, I would have to use a homemade stretching tool to stretch and alleviate the pain. Sometimes, the treatment would have to go on for several hours, and sometimes I would fall asleep during the treatment.

Later I went to a hospital that specialized in stretching treatments. The patient would lie on a special electric bed that could be controlled to lengthen it as necessary. When the bed was extended, the patient's body would be stretched out as well. A metal lever would give a strong strike on the problem part of the patient's body. Then the patient would lie on the bed for three days and three nights. However, after this treatment, not only was there no improvement for the old problems, but new problems were also introduced.

Recalling those difficult days is hard. My poor physical health left me depressed. I complained a lot. In fact, besides going to work every day, my husband did all the housework, including taking care of our child, doing the grocery shopping, washing clothes, cooking and taking care of me, the patient. Life was already hard for him, but I was still not satisfied and kept complaining, which is why we often quarreled. I would even throw dishes! I was fed up with life and often thought about death. But I felt guilty at the thought of leaving my child, were I to die, since she was so young. My priority then became to raise my child well, so that should I die someday, I would have no regrets towards her.

I put my daughter in the best school and let her learn piano and dance. But how can a human being decide the fate of others? My child was not in good health and suffered from severe stomachaches. She had been examined with barium meal and gastroscope and took many different medicines. Because there was no improvement in her condition, my daughter was not able to attend school regularly. Later she experienced complications of a disorder called Meckel's diverticulum, a congenital defect where a pouch-like section of the embryonic digestive system was attached to the wall of her intestine. At times, Meckel's diverticulum would produce acid, causing ulceration and bleeding of the intestine. When the condition would act up, the poor child would suffer so much pain that her body would curl up into a ball in pain, and she would keep rolling on the bed, with both hands cramping. The pain normally lasted two days.

In 1996, since I was in such poor health, someone told me to practice Falun Gong. To tell you the truth, I didn't have any hopes of curing my illnesses since I had already tried so many different medical treatments. However, I decided to give it a try.

One day at the end of September I told my husband, "I want to try Falun Gong."

So he carried me on a bike and brought me to a practice site. I learned the exercises for half an hour and felt very comfortable. One week after I started practicing Falun Gong, all the pains of my body disappeared. I couldn't describe in words what I felt at that time. I just happily told everyone I knew that my problems were all gone through practicing Falun Gong, and I could again do housework and many other things. Later, my child started to practice with me and she was cured as well.

Dear friends, how can you find such a good practice but choose not to practice? How can Jiang Zemin and his cohorts tarnish such a great Fa at will? How can we not stand up to say a fair word for Falun Gong? From my own experience I would like to tell you a word from the bottom of my heart ¨C Falun Dafa is great!
