Healthy Falun Gong Practitioner Forced to Take Four Blood Pressure Medications Every Day for Over Two Years
2014-03-25
The Yunnan Province First Prison forced healthy Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Peng Pingguo to take four different kinds of blood pressure medications three times a day for two and a half years straight. According to medical professionals, these four drugs, Metoprolol, Nitrendipine, Compound Hypotensive Tablets, and Enalapril, are intended for patients with severe symptoms of high blood pressure, and should never be casually taken together. Long-term use of the four-drug cocktail, especially by people with no blood pressure problems, will cause dire consequences to their health. In one physician’s words, “Such use would be like suicide in slow-motion.” -
Evidence Pointing to Organ Harvesting: “DNA” Label on a Vial of Blood
2014-03-25When I was held in a women's prison, they took a sample of my blood.

I wasn't sure why I had to have a DNA test in prison. I recently found out that DNA screening is required for an organ transplant. I then remembered that I had read about living Falun Gong practitioners having their organs removed and sold to patients who needed organs. -
