Physician Describes How Practicing Falun Gong Cured her Mother of Diabetes

Feb. 23, 2002

Dear Editor,

I would like to present a case report regarding my mother, a 61-year-old Spanish woman, whose diabetes was cured by her practicing Falun Dafa.

á

My mother, Amparo Espinosa, is a 61-year-old lady who has a past medical history of diabetes. Unfortunately, two of her sisters passed away due to late manifestations of this terrible disease. Five years ago she began to have symptoms of diabetes. An endocrinologist diagnosed the disease. She has been treated with diet and oral anti-diabetic drugs by an endocrinologist and an internist. In May of this year, my mother's diabetes became severely out of control. Since I had been practicing Falun Gong for a time, I felt very physically and mentally well. I thought that Falun Gong could be useful to my mother and I decided to introduce my mother to Falun Gong. Three months later, the doctors had problems adjusting her anti-diabetic drug dose because my mother began to have hypoglycemia. The doctors decided to decrease her medication dosage and later decided to change to different medications; however, she continued to present with hypoglycemia. Finally, in October the doctors decided to withdraw all the drugs and treat her with diet only. Now my mother is very happy. Like many other patients, my mother does not like to take medicines, and most importantly she feels well and has more energy. Everybody at home is very happy with my mother's improvement, especially me, because as a nephrologist, I know how terrible this disease is. I think it is worthwhile to mention that at the last American Society of Nephrology meeting, diabetic neuropathy, a late complication of diabetes, was described as a malignant disease and, indeed it is. My family is very grateful to Falun Gong and if everyone could follow its universal principles of Truth-Compassion-Forbearance, these words could be so wonderful, as they should be.
