Healed of asthmatic bronchitis

Carla Chávez

Originally written in Spanish, this testimony appears in the May 2013 Spanish, Portuguese, French, and German editions of The Herald of Christian Science.

For three years I suffered from what the doctors diagnosed as asthmatic bronchitis. The spells appeared with every change of season, especially when it was humid, and lasted between three and four weeks. Although I was taking prescribed medication, my health didn’t improve. In fact, I was feeling worse. At one point the medicine stopped having any effect, even though the doctors changed the medications at times.

I remember that the last time I went to see the specialist, I left his office annoyed, although I didn’t know why. When I got home, I went into my room, closed the door, and, kneeling down, prayed: “God, I don’t think You are sending me this ailment.” After two more days, I quit taking all medication.

After I became acquainted with Christian Science, a world of new ideas about health opened up to me. I began learning about what God is and about my relationship with Him. I began to see that disease does not belong to the children of God, and that health is His law for us. Divine Love does not send sickness because God loves His children. So I began studying with much enthusiasm. I wanted to learn more and more about the teachings this Science was offering me. One of the most beautiful things I learned was that since God created everything good, nothing bad can affect me.
