Paralyzed Patients Walk Again (Part V)—Stories about Falun Dafa’s Healing Power

(Minghui.org) Paralysis is the loss of ability to move part or all of one’s body. Most paralyzed people have to depend on wheelchairs for the rest of their lives. Paralysis causes tremendous pain not only for the sufferers but also for their families.

Thanks to Falun Dafa, an ancient spiritual discipline also known as Falun Gong, a number of paralyzed people have been able to walk again and now live renewed lives.

Below are several such stories of recovery.

(Continued from Part IV.)

Falun Dafa Freed the Whole Family from Illness

Ms. Mou Yongxia, a retired high school teacher in Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province, used to suffer blood disorders and myasthenia gravis, a chronic autoimmune disorder causing weakness of the skeletal muscles. For over a year, she couldn’t walk. She later developed more problems with her kidney, heart and stomach. After she gave birth to her twin sons, she often fainted and was on the verge of death.

“It couldn’t get any worse,” is how Ms. Mou would describe her life before encountering Falun Dafa.

To make things worse, her older son had partial brain paralysis, which caused coordination defects on the right side of his body. He also had developmental issues. His twin brother had diabetes insipidus (a rare disorder the causes one’s body to make too much urine) and often had nose bleeding.

Ms. Mou’s mother helped take care of the twins. However, she became paralyzed after a natural gas explosion accident. The family lived under a lot of stress and Ms. Mou’s husband divorced her when the twins were five years old.

When she hit rock bottom, Ms. Mou was introduced to Falun Dafa on October 7, 1998. Within a month of practice, all her diseases were gone! Her twins also recovered from their illnesses upon taking up the practice.

Seeing the positive changes in her children, Ms. Mou also persuaded her mother to practice Falun Dafa. After 40 days, her 88-year-old mother could walk again, and she became energetic.

Ms. Mou’s older son was later admitted to a university and found a good job after graduation.

The Rebirth of a “Living Dead Person”

Another practitioner shared her experience of how her life was renewed by Falun Dafa.

She retired from an electrical chemistry factory in Hunan Province. In 1982, a stove at her workplace exploded and her entire body was burned. The doctor said she had blood poisoning and recommended regular intravenous injections. A few years later, both of her arms turned black due to the injection and the doctor didn’t have any way to help her.

Over time, she developed inflammation of the trachea and rheumatoid arthritis. She could not walk without holding onto something. Sometimes she would pass out when walking.

At 50, she became paralyzed after taking a fall and breaking her feet. Her husband had an affair and moved out. She cried every day.

When there was no hope of improvement, her life made a turnaround. In August 2007, she found a Falun Dafa booklet at her door. She didn’t believe it in the beginning. But when she had toothache and couldn’t fall asleep two days later, she remembered the auspicious phrases “Falun Dafa is good; Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good” she read on the booklet. She decided to give it a try and soon fell asleep. When she woke up, the sun was shining in her room. Her toothache was gone. She was shocked.

She found a practitioner living in her subdivision and borrowed a copy of Zhuan Falun, the main book of Falun Dafa. She read the book and did the Falun Dafa exercises every day.

One week later, she looked much better. All her diseases went away. A month later, a few friends were amazed to see her: “Wow! How did you get so much younger looking? Your face looks so smooth and healthy.”

Man Throws Away His Crutches After Twenty Years

A forestry worker in Daxing’anling Mountains of Heilongjiang Province had an accident while lifting wood with a crane. The wire broke and knocked him down, and he lost feeling in his legs from then on.

Fast forward 20 years, in mid-June 1999, a friend recommended him to read Zhuan Falun. He didn’t believe reading the book would help with his legs. His daughter, who had started practicing Falun Dafa at the time, urged him to give it a try. He then finished reading the book. He said, “This book is a treasure.” Later he joined his daughter and other practitioners in studying the book together and he also watched the lecture videos. 

One night, his legs hurt so much he felt like they were being burned by fire. He couldn’t stop screaming. When he joined the group exercises the next morning, he had to lean against the wall to finish the exercises. 

It turned out that the burning feeling was a process of body purification. A few days later, when his daughter came home from work, she saw him sitting at the front door. He said, “Look at me.” He raised his crutches, stood up and took five or six steps forward. “I can walk!”
