Hundreds of thousands of people have been healed through Christian Science, many of medically diagnosed, incurable diseases that have been given up by conventional health care methods. You can read about these healings...

• at the end of the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy
• in the section on "Testimonies of Christian Science Healing" in every issue of The Christian Science Journal (monthly) and the Christian Science Sentinel (weekly)
• in special books devoted to testimonies available at Christian Science Reading Rooms
• in the Radio Edition of the Christian Science Sentinel broadcasts every week
• you can hear live testimonies at any Wednesday Evening Meeting in a Christian Science Church

You do not have to be a Christian Scientist in order to be healed through Christian Science. Many people have been healed by simply reading Science and Health. Others have gained healing with the help of a Christian Science Practitioner. This is a person who has had systematic teaching in Christian Science (called Primary Class Instruction) and who has a proven record of successful healing. Anyone who has completed Primary Class Instruction may pursue the public practice of Christian Science, but The Mother Church in Boston certifies those in the full-time practice, and these practitioners are listed in The Christian Science Journal. Practitioners operate independently and often hold regular office hours. You can contact a practitioner to schedule an office visit, or work with them by phone or mail.

Christian Science Practitioners practice purely spiritual healing in that they do not manipulate the body or employ any form of thought control. Rather, they pray with and for the patient, and work lovingly with him or her to open the patient's thought to the laws of God that maintain man's health. Furthermore, a practitioner does not consider himself or herself a "healer." Instead they acknowledge God as the source of all healing, and they see themselves as messengers of the truth or as witnesses to what God has already accomplished.

Christian Science practitioners charge modest fees for their services, either by the visit, by the treatment, or by the hour. You can arrange for a single visit or treatment, or for continuing help. In the latter case, the treatment is not for a specific period, and you can extend it only as long as you feel you need the help. You can ascertain a
practitioner's fees before engaging them.

Christian Science practitioners are also happy to answer questions you may have about the study of Christian Science.
