(Minghui.org) Myocarditis is a localized or diffuse lesion in the myocardium (muscles of the heart), mostly caused by viral infection. Sufferers of the condition often show symptoms such as chest pain, chest tightness, shortness of breath, palpitations, and fainting. Complications ranged from severe arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat) and cardiac insufficiency to sudden death.
In the last few years of the pandemic, some people who got infected with COVID also developed myocarditis, especially in young and middle-aged people.
While many myocarditis patients failed to recover despite hospital treatments, some regained health by practicing Falun Dafa or sincerely reciting “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance is good.” Below are some such stories.
Ms. Zang Aixia participated in the performance of the Tian Guo Marching Band.
Ms. Zang Aixia, 70, used to work in a store of Daqing Petrochemical Company in Heilongjiang Province. Her husband Mr. Li Jianjun contracted hepatitis B in 1989 and they began a long journey of seeking medical help around the country.
Ms. Zang’s daughter, a second grader at the time, was left unattended and had to be entrusted to a neighbor. Meanwhile, Ms. Zang’s mother, who was far away in Hebei Province, was suffering from rectal cancer. Taking care of her sick husband and worrying for her mother and daughter, she was exhausted.
In 1992, Ms. Zang was diagnosed with viral myocarditis and often fainted. She was rushed to the hospital for emergency rescue multiple times. She was treated with various medicines for four years without much relief from her symptoms. By 1996, her doctor told her that she already had cardiac hypertrophy and that there was no treatment available.
A Ray of Hope in a Desperate Situation
In August 1996, Ms. Zang’s husband had been hospitalized in Changchun City, Jilin Province for ten months, but his lab results were all abnormal. His doctors stated that they had already tried their best and suggested he go home for comfort care. She felt hopeless and helpless.
Suddenly she heard people cheering in the quiet hospital. She asked what was going on. One staff member told her that a former patient Mr. Liu Qing who almost died from liver failure returned as a new person.
According to the hospital staff member, Mr. Liu used to be so sick that he would pass out in every unforeseen place. When he was discharged the last time one year ago, he had liver necrosis and nobody expected him to survive. But he returned completely recovered because he practiced Falun Dafa.
The doctors were completely amazed by his recovery. They suggested they establish an exercise site in the hospital and invite him to show them the Falun Dafa exercises.
Ms. Zang also remembered that one of her friends had recommended Falun Dafa to her in the past. The friend’s father had a friend whose declined vision caused by diabetes recovered after practicing Falun Dafa.
Liver Necrotic Patient Renewed Life with Falun Dafa
Ms. Zang approached Mr. Liu, who shared with her and her husband his story:
Mr. Liu Qing was a veteran. He contracted Hepatitis B when he was 26. Since then, he has been hospitalized yearly. His illness got worse despite the treatment and he also developed cirrhosis, liver necrosis, and ascites. The doctor had to drain his ascites once a week, later twice a week.
In 1994, his liver became necrotic. His family carried him home. Everyone knew that his days were numbered.
After he returned home, he heard that Master Li Hongzhi (Falun Dafa’s founder) would hold a lecture series in Changchun and he wanted to attend. His family agreed to fulfill his last wish and carried him to the class. After the nine-day lecture series, he learned that one’s illness was caused by karma, and he no longer blamed or resented others. He also developed the wish to practice cultivation. He figured: “My days are numbered. I will cultivate however long I can live.”
From day one of the lectures, he began vomiting as well as having diarrhea. His symptoms kept going for 15 days and then his bloated belly deflated. He began to eat normally. Gradually he was able to sit up, get up, and then walk on his own. After he began doing the Falun Dafa exercises, his body changed on a daily basis. His energy was back as well. He was amazed by the practice. Besides sleeping and eating, he spent all his time studying the book and exercising.
Several months later, he became a completely healthy person. He wanted to share his story with others so they could benefit as well. He began promoting Falun Dafa and helped set up 12 exercise sites.
End-Stage Viral Myocarditis Cured
Ms. Zang was greatly shocked by Mr. Liu’s story. She sincerely wanted to learn Falun Dafa.
On the third day of her doing the exercises, she developed a fever, but she believed that Dafa’s Master was purifying her body. She was back to normal after three days. Her body felt light, and she no longer had the symptoms of myocarditis. Two weeks later, she returned home.
She and her husband went to the group exercise site daily. Her husband also recovered completely. Their friends and acquaintances were all amazed at their enormous changes.
Unfortunately, Mr. Li stopped practicing Falun Dafa after the Chinese Communist Party began to persecute the practice in 1999. His symptoms relapsed in 2007 and he died shortly afterward.
Ms. Zang held firm to her faith in Falun Dafa. She moved to Canada in September 2009 to live with her daughter’s family. She is still healthy thanks to her practice of Falun Dafa.
In the New Year of 2022, Ms. Zang (second from right) and her daughter’s family wish Master a Happy New Year!
Ms. Zang said, “Falun Dafa is truly good, and we really hope that more kindhearted people look into it and benefit from it as well.”
