(Clearwisdom.net) More Beijing residents have died of cancer than any other disease since 2007 according to the “Report on Cases of Terminal Cancer from 1995 to 2010 in Beijing” recently published by the Beijing Institute of Cancer Prevention and Cures. The report says cancer has been confirmed as the cause of death for 25% of deceased patients. Lung cancer is the top killer of men and breast cancer the top killer of women. Between 2000 and 2009, the number of people diagnosed with lung cancer increased by 56%, and the number diagnosed with breast cancer increased by 128%. Scientists have discovered that many different factors, including environment, diet, and lifestyle, contribute to cancer, and they believe that it is important to spread what they have learned about cancer to help people break away from the unhealthy lifestyles that are often precursors to the disease.
Recognized as incurable in the medical community, cancer constitutes a serious challenge for mankind. It has been a dream of scientists around the world to understand cancer's course and finally conquer it. In this article we discuss cancer from a new perspective, hoping that this may provide people with a new point of view and understanding of the disease.
In the Classics of Internal Medicines, an ancient classic text of Chinese medicine, an illness called Sedimentary Condensation is briefly analyzed and is believed to share some features similar to cancer, although the description about it is not detailed enough to know for sure. According to Classics, the causes of the Sedimentary Condensation could be either external or internal. An example of an internal cause could be overeating of cold or raw food which causes intestinal and gastric damage by creating a cold and humid climate inside the organs. If the external climate is cold, the internal coldness and external coldness will join and entangle with each other, forming some condensation, which could be further intensified by unbalanced mental health.
In the long run the internal energy circulation that keeps a person healthy could become stagnant and the Sedimentary Condensation forms. The above formation of Sedimentary Condensation shares many similarities with the formation of cancerous tumors observed by modern medicines. On one hand, both of them believe that the internal tumors are related to external environment. On the other hand, both of them emphasize the contribution of one's mental state to the formation of tumors. Modern western medicine has discovered that long-term poor mental health is a major contributor to cancerous tumors. In modern Chinese medicine, it is believed that the stagnant energy circulation, phlegm retention, blood stasis, and excessive internal heat could also be contributors to the formation of cancerous tumors. In the view of some religions, cancers are believed to be the manifestations of the sins or karma that the patient had created in their previous or current life through committing bad deeds.
It is widely accepted that many factors could contribute to human diseases, including cancer and other diseases. Yet some people possess inborn immunity to contagious disease and plagues, which medical experts find hard to explain. Diseases could be caused by different factors, including unhealthy lifestyle choices and environmental pollution, which could be further traced back to ethics. Ancient people regarded personal interests with indifference, respected the heavens, loved the people, and cherished blessings from the heavens. Living by such a philosophy, they maintained a pure and peaceful mind, living in harmony with nature. People in modern times disbelieve in the heavens and indulge themselves in material pursuit. This is particularly true in China nowadays. Instilled with the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) philosophy of “struggling” with heaven, earth, and man, many Chinese do whatever bad things they want. As a result, moral values in China have fallen and China's ecosystem and environment have deteriorated, perhaps irreversibly.
1. Pondering the Law of Causality between Good and Evil
It could be worthwhile to try to understand the ultimate cause of cancer from another point of view. In the ancient Chinese medicine book Su Wen (Plain Questions) there is a well known phrase: “Maintaining your righteousness and not giving way to illness”. That is to say, if a person can always behave himself in a noble way and be good to others he will be free from illness. This is particularly true nowadays, when the CCP's slanderous lies against Falun Gong, a traditional Chinese cultivation method based upon the universe's characteristic of Truthfulness-Benevolence-Forbearance, permeate China. If a person can discern the truth from falsehood with his own conscience, he will make correct choices and end up with a destiny hugely different than if he makes incorrect choices.
Following are some stories that many believe to reflect karmic retribution coming to those who disbelieve the law of causality; that good deeds bring good returns and that evil deeds meet with retribution.
Liu Jing, chief of the Central Government 610 Office and deputy minister of the Police Ministry of the CCP, is plagued with cancer.
In early 2009, some 100 police officers from the Nanguanling Prison in Dalian City, Liaoning Province, underwent physical examinations. More than 10 were found to have cancer. Some of them collapsed after hearing the diagnosis. Such a high percentage of cancer caused quite a panic and questioning among the police officers.
Many cases similar to what happened to the police from the Nanguanling Prison have been reported elsewhere. For example, the sudden deaths of police officers from the Shangdi Police Station of Haidian District, Beijing in the past few years has stirred up quite a panic in the police station. With so many dead, the police station was shut down and merged with another police station.
Yang Shengshan, chief of the Office of Overall Control of Public Social Security of Huangxikou Town, Chenxi County, Hunan Province, had actively persecuted local Falun Gong practitioners, following CCP orders. He had ransacked the homes of Falun Gong practitioners, arrested them, and extorted money from the families of the arrested practitioners. In August 2009 he was found to have terminal rectal cancer, liver cancer and lung cancer. Many believe that this demonstrates heaven's law of karmic retribution that one must pay for what one has done.
Liang Wanjun was the chief of the security section of the People's Hospital of Laixi City, Shandong Province. He actively persecuted his colleagues who practiced Falun Gong, along with his superiors, claiming he was “cooperating with the leaders on the Falun Gong issue.” He personally monitored, shadowed, and detained practitioners, and led police to practitioners' homes to ransack them. He also deprived practitioners of their rights to holidays and even beat a practitioner. For persecuting Falun Gong he was rewarded by the Police Department of Qingdao City. Practitioners clarified the facts about Falun Gong to him many times and asked him to stop persecuting innocent people, but he refused to listen. He was also compassionately warned that he might receive karmic retribution for what he had done. In 2005 Liang was diagnosed with esophageal cancer and he died in great pain in May 2006 at the age of 46.
Qin Xianying was a cardiograph equipment operator in a hospital. Before 1999 she had read Zhuan Falun because her daughter is a Falun Gong practitioner. After the CCP began persecuting Falun Gong she treated it with resentment and tried to prevent her daughter from practicing by any means. Along with her husband, she closely watch her daughter, beat and verbally abused her, and even sent her to a brainwashing center in a labor camp. Her daughter was sent to a mental hospital twice by Qin despite being mentally healthy. Deceived by the CCP's lies about Falun Gong she did not only treat her daughter cruelly, but also spread slanderous lies against Falun Gong to other people, doing harm both to others and herself. She died of a lung cancer in 2005.
Lu Honglan was the chief of the Health Maintenance Center for Children and Women of Laixi City, Shandong Province. She was ordered by her superiors to brainwash Falun Gong practitioners and force them to write statements renouncing Falun Gong. She tried to force practitioners to give up practicing Falun Gong by fining them, confiscating their wages and bonuses, refusing to increase their wages, and reporting practitioners from her working section to the authorities. She died in 2009 of breast cancer, at the age of 49.
In Pingdu City, Shandong Province there is Nancun Village. In the past decade of the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong all the Communist Party secretaries of the village died in succession of cancer. A person appointed to take the post died of cancer before he could take it. Deterred by this, no one dared to take the position any more, so the superiors of the village had to appoint someone as the deputy secretary. After a certain period of time they forced another person to take the position but he died mysteriously in 2008 less than one year after he took the post. Before he died, he called a local doctor, saying that he was not feeling well. The doctor then asked his son to transport him to the People's Hospital of Pingdu City in his car, but the doctors there simply could not lower his blood pressure after having tried all means. At noon the next day he died of rupture of his arteries.
Wan Mingchao, in his 50s, was a police officer from the Yunxi Street Police Station of Jiaozhou City, Qingdao, Shandong Province. He has closely followed the CCP to persecute Falun Gong since 1999. In 2010, he was diagnosed with a terminal cancer, and he died in late 2010. When the persecution first began, some practitioners clarified the facts about Falun Gong to him but he refused to listen. Instead he verbally abused and reported them to authorities. His neighbor was a Falun Gong practitioner. The neighbor had clarified the facts about Falun Gong many times, but he simply refused to listen.
Pu Yuguo, from the Fujunmiao Village of Liyuan Town, Pingdu City, Shandong Province, had been a officer in charge of social security. In the past few years he followed the CCP to persecute Falun Gong. He is now plagued with cancer.
Liu Jianhua, former commissar of the Communist Party Committee of Qingdao City and secretary of the Political and Law Committee, had been the mastermind of the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners from Qingdao. In 2005 he was found to have cancer and was sent to a hospital. According to some people who saw him, he is now badly out of shape and can hardly be recognized.
In contrast to the above stories, the following stories are about those who recovered from cancer because of their understanding about the facts about Falun Gong.
A police officer from a small town in Liaoning Province had privately released Falun Gong practitioners three times when he was ordered to arrest them. In late January 2005 he was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. The doctors operated on him but had to give up the surgery when they found that tumors permeated his whole lung and trachea. They told him that he could not survive the next month. After he returned home he borrowed Zhuan Falun from his daughter-in-law, who was a Falun Gong practitioner. Seven days later he could move around freely. Now he is in good health, and shows no traces of having been a cancer patient.
Mr. Dong, from Liupanshui City, Guizhou Province, was diagnosed with lung cancer in a local hospital after developing acute headache and coma proneness in June 2011. He was immediately sent to a hospital in Kunming City, Yunnan Province. The doctors there also diagnosed him with lung cancer and issued him an emergency notification. His mother-in-law is a Falun Gong practitioner. She told him to say “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance is good.” He followed her suggestion and did that faithfully. In a later physical examination he was told that it was not lung cancer but a problem in the brain. The doctors said that his case was very rare. After two months in the hospital, he recovered well, which quite surprised the doctors. Now Mr. Dong is in quite good shape, except for residual clumsiness in his limbs.
Mr. Yang is a retired worker from the Ferro Mine of Laiwu City, Shandong Province. In October 2009 he was diagnosed with terminal gastric cancer. In late October he had an operation and had 80% of his stomach removed. He then underwent several months of radiation treatment and suffered a lot from it. In early December 2009 the cancer returned and he had to had another operation, when doctors found that the cancerous cells had already irreversibly proliferated. Knowing that they could not save his life, they told him to go home and prepare to die. His younger brother and his wife came from another city to see him. His sister-in-law, a Falun Gong practitioner, told him to say “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” He believed her and began to read the words over and over. After about ten hours of reading loudly he felt a little tired and he thought: “My wife is coming home soon. She will not like me to do so.” Then he read the words in his mind. It was about 20 days before the Chinese New Year. From then on Mr. Yang began to recover day by day, which surprised his doctors as they never thought that he could survive the Chinese New Year. Later his sister-in-law brought him some truth-clarification materials about Falun Gong. Besides reading them himself, he also shared them with his roommates in the hospital and their family members. He even gave the truth-clarification video CD to his doctors, saying, ”You better watch it at home and you will definitely benefit from it.” Now, two years after Mr. Yang was sentenced to death, he is in perfect health.
A woman in her 70s had suffered from cancer before, but enjoyed several years of remission before her symptoms returned. The mother of her son's boss was a Falun Gong practitioner. Seeing her condition, the practitioner played the audio Falun Gong lectures to her. After a little while of listening she felt much better. The practitioner also advised the woman to recite the words “Falun Dafa is good.” After she went home she spoke aloud “Falun Dafa is good” every day and asked Master Li, the founder of Falun Gong, to save her. Her son took her to a hospital for a physical examination and she was found to have some hydrochloride in her stomach but the previous cancerous tumor was miraculously gone. When her husband saw the mother of his son's boss, he said, “I thought that my wife's cancer was incurable, and I never thought that she could recover so well. I believe in Falun Dafa. It is Dafa that has saved my wife.” Several days later the woman went back to do the farming work with her husband.
2. Living Miracles: A New Life for Cancer Patients
The stories above provide some compelling evidence of the heavenly law of causality: that good receives good returns while evil meets with retribution. Among Falun Gong practitioners, there are even more cases of recovery from terminal illness after practicing Falun Gong. The Minghui website published a collection of these cases as the book “Rescued from A Desperate Situation.”
Minghui publication: Rescued from A Desperate Situation
Many stories about cancer patients who regained their health after practicing Falun Gong have been published on the pages of the Minghui website and its English language version, Clearwisdom. The following table enumerates a small number of these stories.
When a person is plagued with terminal disease he is also plagued with unspeakable desperation, helplessness, and fear, knowing that his days are numbered and feeling that the only thing he can do is to wait for and prepare for his imminent end.
When such people regain their health and begin to perceive the true meaning of their lives, they acquire a new life of health and optimism and their happiness and excitement are indescribable to others. Among Falun Gong practitioners there are many people like that. When their lives were coming to an end they encountered Falun Gong and became the happiest people in the world.
Amidst the CCP's overwhelming slanderous lies against Falun Gong and its relentless persecution, countless practitioners stand out to clarify the facts – to talk to people publicly about the practice and the persecution. They do this for sake of all people, for they do not want to see the people miss the most valuable opportunity of regaining their health, understanding the true meaning of life and entering the new era to come.
