KOSICKUCIAN PHILOSOPHY
QUESTION No. 37.
What form of healing do you advise, physicians or prac-
titioners, as in the Christian Science belief?
Answer: That depends upon the nature of the sickness
and the temperament of the patient. If it is a case of a
broken leg, a surgeon is obviously the one to call. If there
is an internal disorder and it is possible to get a broad
minded physician, then in certain cases he is the one to
get. If, on the other hand, a mental healer, Christian
Science healer or anyone else who is spiritually minded can
be brought in, they may help a person who is himself
strong in faith, for, as a tuning fork which is of certain
pitch will respond when another tuning fork of the same
pitch is struck, so will the person filled with faith respond
to the ministrations of these last named ones. But where
faith in their methods is lacking in the patient, it is far
better to send for a regular physician in whom the patient
has confidence, for health or sickness depends almost alto-
gether upon the state of the mind, and in the conditions
of sickness where a person is enfeebled, he becomes hyper-
sensitive and should not be thwarted in his preferences.
Besides, whatever good there is in any system of healing,
the effects upon a certain person will be beneficial or the
reverse in exact proportion to his faith in its healing
power.
