A Person with Leukemia Found New Life after Taking up Falun Gong
(Clearwisdom.net) My home is in Hankou, Wuhan City, Hubei Province. In the autumn of 1998, our
factory wasn't doing well, and I was among those let go. Afterwards, I tried to
make ends meet by renting out part of our house. As the saying goes, "Misfortunes do not come singly." Two months
after I was terminated from my job, I fell ill and was very weak. The doctor in
the hospital said that my blood was the problem. I was in disbelief and asked a
doctor relative of mine to check the hospital's findings. Afterwards, he told me
that it was leukemia and suggested that I go to Tongzhi Hospital, the top
hospital in the province, for another checkup. The final diagnosis was leukemia,
requiring immediate hospitalization and treatment. When I heard that, I had a
mental breakdown. I was 49, my children were still young, I had just lost my
steady income, and now I had a fatal disease. My wife was in tears. To have proper treatment, I spared no expense. When asked if I was covered by
the public health care or was paying privately, I told the hospital to do
whatever was necessary. The doctors could not have been happier to try out their
imported medicine on me. I knew very well that there was no cure for leukemia, but only easing of my
symptoms. My sister who lived in Wuhan came to see me. She told me that
practicing Falun Gong was known to have cured some incurable diseases and quoted
a number of patients whose cancers went into remission after practicing Falun
Gong. On hearing that, I was greatly encouraged--I wanted to live on. When my
sister advised me to take up Falun Gong, I was hesitant at first, but on second
thought, I realized I had nothing to lose, since the doctors could not effect a
cure. So I got started learning the five sets of Falun Gong exercise from my
sister while in I was in the hospital. My sister also obtained for me a copy of
Teacher's recorded lectures. I practiced as I continued to receive treatment. Chemotherapy was very hard on me. My 1.7 meter body shrank to the size of an
old lady. One day, the doctor wanted to try a new drug imported from Germany on
me, but it could not be administered unless my body temperature was normal. I
had a fever. My body temperature hovered at around 39 degrees Celsius for four
hours and still did not come down. While waiting to give me my dose, the nurse
had to keep shaking the bottle containing the new drug to keep it from
"setting:" it would have to be discarded if it coagulated. I was
anxious, and in my anxiety I cried out aloud to Teacher, "Teacher, please
help me." At that moment, I saw a big rotating Falun appear on my left
thigh, spinning like a big fan. I welled up with tears. Five minutes later, my
temperature dropped to normal. Surprised at the sudden temperature drop, the
nurse wasted no time administering the dose to me via intravenous drip, and I
soon fell asleep for two hours. When I woke up, the treatment was completed.
After that, the fever never recurred. After this miraculous experience, I more than ever believed in the power of
Falun Dafa. That incident further consolidated my faith. Whenever I had a
chance, I practiced the exercises. I also paid more attention to Teacher's
lectures. I remember when I was halfway through the first course of chemotherapy, I
asked the doctor to stop and let me go home. Not understanding the reason, the
doctor suggested that I complete the first course before making a further
decision. After the first treatment, I was completely unrecognizable. All my
hair--even my eyebrows--fell out. My neighbors thought that they were seeing a
ghost. When I went home, I practiced the Falun Gong exercises everyday. In March
1999, I found a site near my home where I could join a group to do the
exercises. I also participated in group Fa study as well. Not long
afterwards, my health completely recovered. My hair grew back, and I was in full
spirits again. For the first time in my life, I fully appreciated what it was
like to live without sickness. I was able to help manage a small food stall for
the family. After I left Tongzhi Hospital, the doctors tried to track me down to
continue my therapy. But when they discovered that I had recovered completely by
practicing Falun Gong at home, they found it "inconceivable." My recovery from an incurable disease generated a lot of reaction throughout
the neighborhood. Everyone said that I was blessed and that Falun Gong was truly
amazing, that it had the ability to heal people. I wish those people who have been deceived and brainwashed by the CCP could
recognize the goodness of Falun Dafa. They will then be truly blessed. Posting date: 4/19/2008 |
