I didn’t take medicine until I was 20 years old. Not Tylenol, not even cough drops. I was taught that there was no such thing as disease or death. “Man is incapable of sin, sickness, and death.” Raised by a devoted Christian Science family, we faithfully followed the book that claimed to be the key […]
