It goes by two names- one is 'falun gong' another is 'falun dafa' and The Strbegan in China. He had been unable to walk, could not work and was very depressed. After doing the exercises he regained movement and was healed. The doctors were stunned and said it was a complete recovery. There are meditation type practices as well. . . ."
