JSH-Online comments, Sarah A. Britton

[Question of the week, January 14, 2013, “How have you prayed when confronted with either news of, or an experience with, contagion or seasonal illness?”]

I first began to think of flu and colds differently when I read that many years ago flu was considered to be caused by the “influence” of the stars. It is only in the last century or so that flu or influenza was considered to be caused by the “ influence” of microbes. My study of Christian Science helped me see that there is only one influence—the “divine influence ever present in human consciousness” (Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. xi). This new understanding helped me overcome the tendency to have colds and flu, which I had suffered with for many years.
