(Minghui.org) Femoral head necrosis is often thought of as an “incurable cancer,” an intractable disease affecting the femur, the largest bone in the body that runs from the hip to the knee. This condition is mainly caused by the interruption or damage of the blood supply to the femoral head, which may result in necrosis of the bone cells and marrow, and structural changes to the bone.
Modern medicine cannot cure femoral head osteonecrosis. Patients in the final stages of this condition are generally in severe pain and the muscles of the lower part of the leg have atrophied. Some may experience limited hip movement, shortened claudication, and even paralysis. They often fall into misery and live in despair.
However, some patients, after practicing Falun Dafa, were able to survive and live a healthy life. Some patients were cured by just sincerely reciting “Falun Dafa is good, and Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”
Intractable Diseases Disappeared after Practicing Falun Gong
On August 28, 1998, the article “The Festival of Life” in China Youth Daily covered the opening ceremony of the Shenyang Asian Sports Festival. One third of the report sang the praises of the healing power of Falun Dafa, especially how the practitioners’ various intractable ailments had disappeared and how their morality improved. Two photos of the practitioners at the opening ceremony were included.

One practitioner who attended the event was Ms. Liu Juxian, who used to suffer from osteonecrosis of the femoral head. Introduced to Falun Dafa in the summer of 1996, her health soon improved.
Ms. Wang Xiaoyan, in her 70s, was a retired doctor from Shenyang Medical University. She’d had heart disease, asthma, and a severe lung condition, among other ailments. Every year, she had to go to the hospital for daily oxygen treatments. Because of past injuries, Ms. Wang needed a cane to walk. After she started the practice in the spring of 1996, she stopped taking all her medications and became very healthy.
Ms. Chen Guihua, 64 back then, used to teach at the Shenyang Music Institute. She had heart disease and high blood pressure. After she started the practice, her health improved and her experience inspired many others to take up the practice.
Femoral Head Necrosis Disappeared in One Day
Mr. Jia Ruidong, 64, is from Linyi City, Shandong Province. He retired from Shuangshan Sugar Factory in Heilongjiang Province.
When he was 38 in June 1998, Mr. Jia suddenly started having pain in his right leg. He went to the hospital and was diagnosed with femoral head necrosis. Because of the pain, he could not stand or sit. Any slight touch on the femoral head would cause unbearable pain for the big man.
Mr. Jia went to a Chinese medicine doctor for acupuncture. At the clinic one day, he saw a book on the table.
As he was being treated, he began to read the book, Zhuan Falun, the main text of Falun Dafa. When he read through to the ninth page, he stopped the acupuncture. He told the doctor that he knew why people got sick. He decided to practice Falun Dafa and take a different route to cure his disease.
The next morning, Mr. Jia walked to the group exercises site. When he was doing the exercises, he heard a creaking sound from his right leg, and then the leg stopped hurting and he could put his right foot on the ground. He burst into tears with gratitude.
After the exercises, Mr. Jia went to another practitioner’s home on the fourth floor to get a copy of Zhuan Falun and rode his bicycle home.
Seeing him come home back on his feet, his daughter clapped her hands in surprise. She shouted, “My father can ride a bike! My father can ride a bike!"
Mr. Jia used to have a bad temper, and everyone in the factory, including the manager, was afraid of him. After he started to practice, he followed the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, worked hard, and took on heavy work without complaint. He also became kind and polite at home. His wife said, “My life is so much easier since he started practicing Falun Dafa.”
“I Can Walk Again”
Following a misdiagnosis of encephalitis, a practitioner from Hebei Province was given hormone shots that left her paralyzed for four years. Her husband had to do everything for her, even to carry her to the bathroom. She eventually recovered after practicing Falun Dafa.
Below is her own account.
“My husband took me to see doctors everywhere, including Beijing and Tianjin. We spent all of our money on treatments and surgery, but nothing worked. I cried every day and thought about committing suicide. However, something kept me from following through on that impulse.
“My younger sister retired and traveled from Shandong Province to visit me in July 1998. She told me that there were over 1,000 people practicing Falun Dafa in her town and that many cancer patients had recovered after practicing it. She suggested that I go there and learn it.
“Taking my sister’s suggestion was easier said than done. I could not walk, and the hormones had made me overweight. From my home to her town was two provinces away, and we would have to change trains three times.
“My sister firmly said, ‘I will take you there no matter what. Others have had their illnesses healed, so can you!’
“The next day, I actually walked out of my home and got on a tricycle. Previously, my husband had to carry me on his back! This miracle gave me the confidence that I needed to go to Shandong.
“We had to walk over a long, high bridge from the east to the west railway station in Tianjin. My sister and her daughter helped me up the bridge. After that, I could walk on my own by holding onto the railings.
“I was very happy and kept thinking it was a dream. Master Li protected me all the way to my sister’s place.
“It rained cats and dogs, but that did not dampen my determination to learn Falun Gong. We traveled for 15 hours and arrived at my sister’s home after 10:00 p.m. I walked to the second floor by holding the stair railing. The first thing I said, which I clearly remember to this day, was ‘Why don’t I feel tired after traveling all day?’
“I couldn’t wait to study Zhuan Falun and learn the five exercises with my sister the next day. I was able to finish the four standing exercises (for one hour) within two weeks. Four months later, my health was completely restored!
“The profound principles Master taught in Zhuan Falun thoroughly convinced me to become a good person according to the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. I no longer fought with people. When I had conflicts, I looked within and was considerate of the other person. Cultivation was the happiest aspect of my life!
“Every day I studied the Fa and did the exercises and never wasted a moment. My health improved greatly, and I no longer cared about self-interest. The long-term conflicts between my daughter-in-law and me were resolved. My home environment became peaceful.”
