Falun Gong Saved My Life

Feb. 16, 2010 |   By a practitioner in Heilongjiang Province, China

(Clearwisdom.net) I experienced a very bad stomachache on March 23, 2007. At first I thought that I had just caught a cold, so I used an indigenous healing method of putting alkali into my nose. It didn't work this time, however. My husband was still at work, and I couldn't stand the pain. I called him and told him that I felt sick and that he should come home as soon as possible. After we spoke, I started vomiting and developed diarrhea. I later threw up green fluid and my face turned yellow. My husband took me to the hospital after he came home. The doctor said I had pancreatitis, and I was given fluids in the hospital.

I still had not recovered by the next morning. My cousin came to visit me and was very distressed at seeing me in so much pain. He talked to the medical staff and asked them to relieve the pressure in my stomach. They put a tube through my nose down to my stomach. The tube was two meters long and the procedure was very painful. It was about two o'clock in the morning, and I told my husband that I was having severe spasms in my legs and that I needed to transfer to another hospital. He found a car and took me to another hospital at three a.m. that morning. Experts confirmed that I was, in fact, suffering from pancreatitis and also had gallstones. My condition continued to deteriorate, and I could barely breathe. I heard people say to my husband, "Give her oxygen quickly." At that moment I was only partially conscious. The pain intensified, but I couldn't tell. At that time I saw something like a skull around me.

I didn't know what my husband and sister were talking about due to my condition. The next day my uncle came, and he had me transferred to the general surgery department. My abdominal area was still extremely painful. I was in intensive care for monitoring, and they inserted a tube into my stomach and hooked me up to an IV with two fluids. I had a high PEEP, my blood pressure was continuously monitored, and I was placed on a catheter. I was unconscious for a week. When I woke up and opened my eyes, I looked at my family but felt very distant from them.

When I became conscious, I told my husband to put the memento that a Dafa practitioner had given to me into my pocket. At that moment, thinking of my elderly father, mother, husband, and child, I cried so badly because I knew I could not die and abandon them. I read silently "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good, Falun Dafa is good." I prayed and hoped that Teacher Li would save me.

The stomach tube was taken out on the ninth day, and on the twelfth day I could sit up and the IV fluids were reduced by half. The attending physician came to see me frequently. I was told that I might need to remain on an IV for some time, but could later eat solid food such as congee, and would need to eat five to six times per day. Two weeks later I got out of the hospital. I still received fluids at home about three days after leaving the hospital. At that time I felt tired but was in good spirits. A Buddhist I knew came to see me and said that "danger is the neighbor of security." I smiled silently, and knew clearly that Teacher Li and Dafa had saved my life.

My husband kept buying medicines for me, and I took them at first, but then stopped after I realized I should not need them. My husband earns only 800 yuan each month, and it was far from enough to pay for those medicines. Every time I took them, I felt sick to my stomach. After I realized this, I started reading the book Zhuan Falun. Teacher Li helped purify my body in May. Two practitioners came to see me on a regular basis, no matter how busy they were, and encouraged me to keep practicing.

On June 28, my husband, child, and mother came to the hospital with me for my checkup. The results were unexpected. The pancreatitis and gallstones had disappeared. I was given another examination and the results were the same. I couldn't help saying that Falun Dafa had saved my life. I told my husband and mother that, because of Dafa, I was saved. They smiled and wanted to start practicing Dafa with me.

Over the past year, Teacher Li helped purify my body dozens of times, and I documented them all. Friends, if you truly learn Falun Dafa and follow the universal principle of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, you will be reborn like me. I can now eat whatever I want to and can do chores just like everyone else. In closing, I would like to tell everyone, "Falun Dafa is good."
