Hi Judy and everyone,
I'd love to see some more posts on this thread too! 🙂 But I just remembered I did visit it a while ago and share a couple of accounts of healing, and I now have a link to the full version of one of them, so here it is:

Epilepsy cured in a moment of Christ consciousness
Well I haven't added to this thread for over a year, but thought you'd find the following healing inspiring. Freni is a friend from church (actually, I was the one who dropped her in it with suggesting she'd been a good subject for the video!) She grew up in Bangalore, India, a Parsee, though I understand that her family were not particularly religious Zoroastrians.
Freni developed a severe form of epilepsy when she was a teenager and as a result, lived a life heavily sedated all the time (we're talking 50' and 60's) I'll let her speak in her own words: [url]I returned to my hometown of Bangalore, India, for a holiday...*/*Christian Science Sentinel[/url])
While in my midteens, I suffered from epilepsy. The attacks were so severe that I used to be bedridden from five days to a week. My parents spent much time and money for me and took me to the best doctors and neurologists in the country. X rays of the brain and spinal column were taken, and after many medical tests I was put on drugs and tranquilizers. Being constantly on drugs, I went through life only half awake. I could not choose not to take the soporific drugs which would have enabled me to use my faculties fully, for the fear of a sudden attack hung over me like a sword.
In 1953, one of her sisters gave her the book I often talk about - Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, a book that shines a light on the spiritual meaning of the Bible and has brought freedom and cure to countless people. Freni tried and tried to read it, but she said she just couldn't understand it, so laid it aside, only picking it up occasionally.
In 1961, I had the opportunity of going to England. All my family agreed that a change of scene might do me good, and even if it did not, I could consult the best neurologists in that country. Once more I was bitterly disappointed, since the same medical tests were taken and the same drugs prescribed.
After suffering for two more years I turned to Science and Health, purely for the purpose of acquiring mental peace and strength so as to withstand the fear of attacks. I read the book from cover to cover over a year. This time I understood its healing message and gained not only the sense of peace I was seeking but was also completely healed.
She didn't talk about the actual moment of healing in this testimony (though she does on the video) but she was still in London and her two sisters had gone out shopping, leaving her with her brother-in-law, who was working at his desk, while she read Science and Health. She got to this passage, which just stood out to her, like a beacon:
[COLOR="Blue"]God, the divine Principle of man, and man in Gods likeness are inseparable, harmonious, and eternal. The Science of being furnishes the rule of perfection, and brings immortality to light. God and man are not the same, but in the order of divine Science, God and man coexist and are eternal. God is the parent Mind, and man is Gods spiritual offspring. (Science and Health 336:25)
All at once, the room was filled with a blinding white light (I've seen that light during a physical healing too) and her brother-in-law turned around and said, "Where did that light come from?" That's fairly unusual - normally it's only the individual who sees the light of the Christ like that. When her sisters returned Freni told them that she was healed and was going to throw her drugs away. They were horrified, but the brother-in-law assured them that she was telling the truth, that there had been a blinding white light filling the room and that she was healed and so it was. Her whole family became Christian Scientists as a result of her healing.
This is Freni herself, giving a very brief account of the healing:

Today is a Red Letter Day for me. 🙂
Ever since The Christian Science Publishing Society started to put all their past articles, testimonies and audio online, I have been searching for a particularly awesome healing of two young soldiers blown up by a double land mine, who were very seriously injured, in former Rhodesia. The Matthews' son was not expected to live and the sister of the other young man was told he would never walk again.
I'd found rather a dry written account by the father with verification from the son and mother (named Elizabeth Matthews), from the 70's when it happened, but many searches did not result in the wonderful audio I remembered from the 90's. Then I noticed the name "Betty Matthews" and voila - found it!
It's the very last testimony of this audio below. Let it all download and then scroll along to 34 minutes.

I appreciated her comment in the written account:
When I saw my son, who was apparently helpless, I earnestly declared to him aloud that God is Truth and that in truth he was a perfect creation of a perfect God.
The doctors, nurses, and the Army chaplain, who were silent onlookers, exchanged glances more of pity and admiration than of ridicule. They were obviously impressed by the simple truths that were uttered, which in due course bore fruit in healing.

That experience must have given many people, especially the medical personnel a glimpse of an entirely different reality, one that has practical and unmistakable results.
Love and peace,
Judy
