With utmost gratitude I share this testimony so that other readers may see that even one who is new to Christian Science can experience its tremendous healing effects.

In 1994 I started facing a discordant relationship with the head of my institute, and as a result I was in a state of mental agony. It was not long afterward that I was diagnosed as suffering from high blood pressure. In January 1995 I was introduced to Christian Science by a friend of mine, and I started attending church services. To my great surprise, in a very short time the study of this practical religion opened a new world for me. I took up its study very seriously and became very regular in reading the Bible Lessons (found in the Christian Science Quarterly).

There grew a conviction within me that no material method was required for healing. As I started relying solely on Christian Science, I sought treatment from a Christian Science practitioner. She very lovingly prayed with me and helped me understand that my real identity is purely spiritual as an idea of God, and is not dependent upon material elements such as blood and bones for health. I began to see that wholeness of thought is real health. I also prayed specifically with these lines from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy: "Christian Science brings to the body the sunlight of Truth, which invigorates and purifies. Christian Science acts as an alterative, neutralizing error with Truth. It changes the secretions, expels humors, dissolves tumors, relaxes rigid muscles, restores carious bones to soundness. The effect of this Science is to stir the human mind to a change of base, on which it may yield to the harmony of the divine Mind" (p. 162).
