(Clearwisdom.net) In a gathering this past July, a female fellow practitioner said there were always Chinese practitioners who shared their experiences of getting rid of their diseases after practicing Falun Dafa. She asked why Western practitioners seldom shared such experiences. I told her that I had such an experience. All my diseases disappeared after I practiced Falun Dafa. Here is my story.

I got stubborn allergies in 1997. There were very few foods that I could eat. In addition to food allergies, I also had allergies to pollen, the chemical composition of detergent, skin care products, and toothpaste. In the end, I could only use natural products. Even a very small amount of pollen would harm me greatly. I felt all my energy had been taken away from me.

I was once only 42 kilograms and looked skinny. There was a time I had several large pustules on my face. It took great courage to face people staring at me when I was out walking. Moreover, I easily caught whatever was going around, and I always had a cough and a sore throat or an earache. And I had to have surgery on a regular basis because of the vestibular pancreatitis (a gynecological disease).

In 2000, a female therapist introduced Falun Dafa to me. And she lent me the book Zhuan Falun to read. I bought the video of Teacher teaching the exercises. I read Zhuan Falun at home and taught myself the exercises. Occasionally I went to the exercise site in our city. Because of my food allergies, I had to eat certain foods at a certain time, so I could not participate in the group exercise everyday. This was one of my loopholes at that time, and this was taken advantage of by the evil old forces.

Three years later, in 2003, my health became so bad that I did not want to live any longer. I felt on the edge of collapse and that I was going to die. I was always dizzy, sick, and panicky. In August 2003, I almost suffocated. I packed a few things and wrote a farewell letter to my daughter, who was on vacation. I called my husband and told him that he did not have to look for me if I didn't come home in the evening. Then I went into the forest. At that key point, however, I decided to truly practice Falun Dafa.

After that, my situation improved. I started participating in group Fa study and went out to do the exercises frequently. I realized that all the illness symptoms were not the true diseases. It was hard to realize it in real life, though.

After some time, I did not pay attention to my symptoms, such as whether I had stomach cramps, nausea, asthma, and so on. If I felt uncomfortable or I felt it was always beyond my limit of tolerance, I would recite Teacher's words, "When it is difficult to endure, try to endure it. When it looks impossible and is said to be impossible, give it a try and see if it is possible."

Even the vestibular pancreatitis, which cannot be cured without surgery, then disappeared. Pus and all the bad things came out by themselves and then it was gone.

I became much healthier after one or two years, and after three years, I could eat almost anything. All my diseases were gone after four years. My weight returned to normal. In addition, my job was getting better and better, and our financial situation improved as well.

Looking back, it is really true that Teacher saved me from hell and took away so much karma for me.
