SYMPTOMS OF GIARDIA HEALED

DEBRA ANN JONES

In 2006 I traveled to India with a friend. It was a life-affirming adventure full of meaning, compelling regeneration, and spiritual growth.

We spent several weeks enjoying continuous benevolence wherever we went. However, we both became ill with the same symptoms, under the same circumstance, and had to come home early. My friend, who is not a Christian Scientist, was medically diagnosed by more than one physician as having contracted giardia, a type of intestinal infection. We also both experienced significant weight loss.

My friend underwent a variety of medical treatments over several months, and at one point a specialist told her that it was the severest and most drug-resistant form of the infection they'd seen. Throughout this time, my friend and I spoke often, and she explained that her medical treatments had distressing side effects. I chose to rely completely on the spiritual solution of prayer-based Christian Science treatment. My trust was in the healing and spiritual regeneration exemplified by Christ Jesus' ministry—in the illumination of God's grace to human thought. So it was natural to aks a Christian Science practitioner to pray with me. It was encouraging to have this selfless support.
