Testimonies of Healing
Christian Science has been my only physician and my helper in every need for over thirty years. I am grateful for the many healings which members of my family and I have received.

Subsequently there was so much pain concurrent with any movement of my body that medical help was sought, and the difficulty was diagnosed as a dislocation of the sacroiliac joint on the left side.
