A TOTAL END TO CHRONIC ASTHMA

When I was a child, I had asthma. I wasn't able to join in all the activities that most kids were involved in, and during this time, my parents took me to doctors, who did everything they could to help me. But the asthma continued. So through my childhood, I was going to a doctor quite regularly and also going to a Christian Science Sunday School. The condition kept persisting.

When I was about 12, a teacher in Sunday School taught me the meaning of "primal cause." There's a sentence in Science and Health that says, "There is but one primal cause" (p.207). I understood that this cause was God and that there wasn't a cause from some outside influence that could make me be disturbed, harmed, or influenced in a way that was detrimental to my well-being. With that idea, I started praying for myself, and I was able to gain a sense of peace many times when I felt an asthma attack coming on.
