I am grateful for many years' help from Christian Science.
My first healing was that of a severe attack of food poisoning. The practitioner's treatment brought instant relief. It must have been based on the allness of Love, for instead of strengthening me for a struggle, it dispensed with the need for it, and I passed immediately from sickness and delirium into a deep and peaceful sleep. When I woke six hours later to a lovely sun-filled room, perfectly well, I felt the aftereffects, not of poison and fear, but of Truth and Love—perfect Love, wherein is neither thing to harm nor cause for fear.
A little later I was healed in two hours of an eye disease. Then came encouraging proof that no physical discord can stay on the body, once belief in its mental cause has been thoroughly expelled from the mind. One day I cut the sole of my foot. The following day I felt pain up my leg with every step. To challenge this, I began to address the suppositional mental cause of the cut, namely belief in accident, as a lie against God's law of unerring direction. This was done with convinced understanding, and the lie was told vigorously to remove its false propaganda from my body.
