Translated from Portuguese
I AM VERY HAPPY for the opportunity to recount my healing through Christian Science. When I first became acquainted with Christian Science, I was very ill. The doctor had diagnosed severe anemia. At the time, I practiced yoga, ate no red meat, only fruits and vegetables, and avoided eating any other kinds of food. The doctor recommended I partake of everything, and prescribed various medications and complete rest, so that I might maintain my energy.
My condition worsened considerably. I suffered from hemorrhages and felt very weak. Among other recommendations, the doctor thought I should undergo a hysterectomy, and requested examinations for leukemia. When the test results came in, he told me I did not have this illness yet, but he didn't know what else to do for me, and I was free to consult other doctors.
