(Minghui.org) Femur necrosis is known 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 disease 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 sincerely reciting “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.”

I am from northeastern China. I recently met a woman in her 50s while I was out clarifying the facts. She accepted the booklet I handed her and said that she knew Falun Dafa was good. She told me that her husband had a Dafa amulet that he has carried with him all the time.
The woman also told me that, two years before, she’d had femoral head necrosis and had to use a crutch to get around. But one day, she suddenly recovered without any medical intervention. She asked many people how that could be, and none could explain it. Then she thought of Dafa. She said that she treated Dafa materials with respect and sometimes put them in a clean spot with high traffic so that more people could see them.
I congratulated her on her recovery and said that she must have been blessed for her kind heart.
I am Wang Jingxia, a Falun Dafa practitioner from Changchun, Jilin Province. Around midnight on November 4, 1985, I was in labor and on my way to the hospital, but my second child was born before I got there.
I didn’t even have a blanket with me, even though it was very cold and windy. I was on a trolley and used a piece of cloth to cover the baby and the umbilical cord. We got to the hospital 20 minutes later.
The next day, I had a bad headache, and all my bones ached. I was on medication for an entire month, but I did not get any better. Gradually, my eyes also began to hurt due to the constant headache.
I went to many hospitals in the province and was on postpartum and rheumatic drugs for several years, but I still was not getting any better. My bones also weakened as a side effect of taking rheumatic drugs for a long period of time.
One day, I fell out of bed and hurt my hip bone. I went to see doctors many times. Finally, after a CT scan in 1996, the doctors found femoral head necrosis on both sides. The right side was very severe, and the left side was not far behind.
I could only lie down on my back, not on my side. I took all kinds of medications and stayed in bed for seven months, but I did not improve.
While struggling to bear the pain in July 1997, I was fortunate enough to hear about Falun Dafa. I started to do the exercises. At first, I couldn’t stand still due to the pain, but I tried hard to persevere. Once when I was doing the second exercise, I passed out. When I came to, I felt very relaxed and comfortable.
The pain in my hip started moving downward. After several days, the pain moved entirely to my legs and knees, so my hip didn’t hurt much anymore. After three weeks, the pain moved to my shins and ankles.
At that time, our family had a profitable restaurant. I was very attached to money. I was in charge of the finances and locked everything in a box.
After learning some Fa principles, I didn’t want to manage the money anymore, so I gave the key to my husband.
Four weeks after I started doing the Dafa exercises, I took out 200 yuan from the box to buy some things for our children. My husband yelled and cursed at me. I didn’t argue back, but he still was about to hit me when a restaurant employee pulled him away.
Our children were crying. I tried to comfort them and said that I would go downstairs and buy them something to eat. As I was walking downstairs, I noticed that my legs didn’t hurt anymore. I called to my kids, “Come and look, Mom is well! Nothing hurts anymore!”
I ran around the stairs, held my kids, and thanked Master from the bottom of my heart. Dafa is so miraculous! Master gave me a second life and another chance to stand up and walk without pain.
I am a practitioner from Liaoning Province. A few years ago, my elder brother was diagnosed with femoral head necrosis and told that one leg would have to be amputated. He collapsed and did not know what to do.
I brought the book Life and Hope Renewed and several Dafa materials with me and went to see my brother in our hometown. He was profoundly worried about his future if he were to lose a leg.
I said, “Don’t worry, brother. Remember the car accident I was in and how the doctor told me that I wouldn’t be able to do any heavy work anymore? But am I any different from a normal person now?
“Falun Dafa is extraordinary, and Master Li (the founder of Falun Dafa) is omnipotent. If you believe in Dafa and sincerely recite ‘Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good,’ miracles will happen. I’ve brought you a few books that tell about how people were blessed for believing in Dafa.”
My brother said, “Yes, you completely recovered from that car accident. Master Li and Dafa are great. I will sincerely recite those phrases.”
Months later, I went to visit him again. My sister-in-law told me that my brother had recovered and could do heavy work in the fields now. The whole family thanked Master and Dafa for giving my brother a second life.
They asked me to help them quit the Chinese Communist Party and its affiliated organizations, something they didn’t want to do before. I was happy for the whole family.
Mr. Yu Zonghai used to work as an art designer for a library in Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province. He is good at oil painting, Chinese ink painting, sculpture, and calligraphy.
Mr. Yu lived with his wife, a senior engineer for the Mudanjiang City Geological Survey Institute, and daughter in an apartment building. He suffered from femoral head necrosis due to hard work and exhaustion and went to see many doctors in Tianjin. He later became so weak that he couldn’t even carry a small washbasin of coal used for cooking and the heating system.
He was treated in many big hospitals, but nothing worked. The doctors suggested amputation. In 1994, one doctor pointed at a patient with rickety legs, bowed arms, and deformed fingers and told Mr. Yu that he would be like that in six months.
At the end of April, Mr. Yu attended a Falun Dafa class in Changchun. Instead of becoming disabled, he recovered and was able to carry a 100-pound bag of rice up to the fifth floor.
The whole family was immersed in Falun Dafa and grateful, but such good times changed dramatically in July 1999. Mr. Yu and his wife Ms. Wang Meihong were illegally sentenced and brutally tortured in the prison.
In 2010, their daughter Ms. Yu Minghui went to study at the Fashion Design Department at the Cambridge School of Art in the UK. She actively sought her parents’ release beginning in 2011.

In 2016, Mr. Yu was finally released from Mudanjiang Prison; his wife is still detained. While Ms. Yu and her parents are still far apart, they are closely connected spiritually.
