Asthma and emphysema healed
This testimony is long overdue, and I hope it will help bring inspiration and healing to others.
As a child I was diagnosed with both asthma and emphysema. My mother was a Christian Scientist, but since at the time my father was not (although he attended church with us), I received medical treatment. Both conditions persisted, though, and when the symptoms were particularly troublesome, my mother’s loving and strong sharing of the spiritual truths she’d learned in Christian Science eased the discomfort. One of my favorite ideas was that we are not fundamentally material beings, but are spiritual expressions of God, divine Love, and therefore naturally express harmony and good.
After high school I went to study at a ballet boarding school in France. However, the respiratory difficulties prevented me from participating fully in the program. The school mandated that I see a doctor, who kindly prescribed a list of medications.
