I have experienced an awakening to a healthy, active life through Christian Science after years of severe bodily suffering.
Before I knew this healing religion, as a young married woman I found myself in an almost hopeless state of health. I had had tonsillitis and a resulting serious disease of the respiratory system which were treated medically with strong injections. Later I developed blood poisoning, which was followed by bone drainage. Famous specialists were consulted, and I had to undergo various operations without any significant improvement. One day the doctors told me material medicine could do no more for me. In this misery I learned to pray. As answer to my prayer, I heard for the first time about Christian Science. My thought was deeply touched right away by what I learned.
At my request I was released from the hospital with the diagnosis that my condition was incurable. I then requested Christian Science treatment at once. The practitioner, to whom I shall always be thankful, took a great interest in me, gradually introducing me to Christian Science. The healing progressed slowly because I had to give up many deeprooted medical and other material concepts. In looking back upon that time now, I see it as a wonderful unfoldment of good. While at first I walked with canes, I was soon able to put them away, and I increasingly enjoyed better health.
