Christian Scientists
If you think Jehovah Witnesses are a bit extreme about the blood transfusion issue, Christian Scientist don't believe in any type of medical intervention and believe illnesses are the result of fear, ignorance, or sin.
QUOTE The basis of Christian Science healing is the view that "Man" (The male/female spiritual being who appears as an individual human being) is the reflection or expression of wholly good and perfect God, and therefore is perfect. Christian Scientists believe that God loves every individual, because God is the Creator of all.
Christian Scientists also believe that sickness is the result of fear, ignorance, or sin, and that when the erroneous belief is corrected, the sickness will disappear. They state that the way to eliminate the false beliefs is to replace them with true understanding of God's goodness. They consider that suffering can occur only when one believes in the supposed reality of a problem; if one changes one's understanding, the belief is revealed as false, and the acknowledgement that the sickness has no power since God is the only power, eliminates the sickness.
Christian Scientists regard the material world as a kind of consensual illusion which is due to a misperception of the true spiritual world. Such a misperception can, they believe, be changed by reorientation of thought, or prayer in Christian Science terms. Thus the illusion can be dispelled, revealing the present spiritual reality. The result is healing....

I have read some of the christian scientific magazines. I do not know if the magazine follows the same principal as the christian scientist but I hope not. I find that their belief of sickness as a kind of curse from god is a little over board. I do know that your faith in the lord above all other things can bring happiness and a well feeling to you. I know that having faith in god to help cure you of a problem is a known fact. I do know that my faith in god and my belief that My body is well is keeping me alive to this day. I know if I did not have faith I would have quit living long ago.
I do not believe that all illness is caused by fear, ignorance or sin. There is some things that even scientist can not understand. I believe my illnesses were caused by man not god.
