With deepest appreciation, I write of the impact that Christian Science has had on me in revealing my relationship to God. When I suffered from dizziness and was diagnosed as having extremely high blood pressure, I was motivated to turn to God. A doctor had informed me that my condition was hereditary and incurable, and that I would have to take medication to control it for the rest of my life. I felt very upset, but since I had medical insurance I continued with the prescribed treatment. Even then I felt sure that God is supreme and believed that if I trusted in Him it would be possible to be healed without drugs.

I was led one day to visit a Christian Science Reading Room, where I was given a copy of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. The librarian told me about spiritual healing through prayer. Gradually I learned that this claim of high blood pressure involved a false belief about man, and that I am in fact a spiritual idea, made in the image of God.

After two months I decided to rely on God alone for healing. I called a Christian Science practitioner for help and stopped taking the medicine. In a few months the symptoms were all gone, and I no longer believed myself to be a sick man. I was dwelling more and more with spiritual thoughts.
