In his drive to eradicate Falun Gong he has also slandered, pressurised and tried to intimidate practitioners of all the nationalities in the 50 or more countries (China being but one) where Falun Gong is practised. He has tried this with a propaganda campaign both at home and abroad, the low cunning of which is historically unmatched.

Non-Practitioners Support Falun Dafa

If you continue like this, you will lose the support of the citizens." |

My View of Chinese Medicine: (Part II) Ear-acupuncture
 The various positions on the body have corresponding points on the ear. So it is not surprising to see the pathological changes of any position in the body from the ear. For example, a slanting wrinkle on the earlobe can be seen on a person with coronary disease, a ring-like hollow around the ear auricle, called a plum pattern, can be found on a lung cancer patients ear, a person with schizophrenia has indentation on the pinna of the ear. Without a doubt, even losing a tooth will be shown on the ear. |
