My mother in law was a strict Christian Scientist and never went to a doctor. She started this practice probably in her 50's and lived well into her 80's. We did end up taking her to the hospital when she had pneumonia and eventually she passed away. She would do her lessons faithfully every day and one day when we were visiting her, I told her I had a bad headache. She told me to sit in a comfortable chair and she would "work" on me. Well, within a few minutes the headache was gone and I had not taken anything for it, so there is something to this religion. Some of her religion rubbed off on her son and he would not go to doctors or take medicine unless he was close to critical. I do believe God put doctors on this earth for the reason of healing and I would not be here today if I did not have surgery for cancer. Thank you for sharing. I do have some belief in the religion.
