It’s been known for years that antibiotics are losing their effectiveness. Stronger strains of bacteria continue to develop that are resistant to these drugs doctors took for granted in the past as being reliable. In many cases, they don’t work at all now.
Newsweek recently published a major article on the growing plight of antibiotic treatment. For those who trust in these drugs, the piece raises many red flags.
For instance, the article states, “Wealthy countries take for granted the triumph of science over bacteria, but increasingly doctors are coming up against infections that can be quelled only by the most powerful antibiotics known to medicine—or by none of them. ‘It’s already happening,’ says Spellberg, to the tune of roughly 100,000 deaths a year from antibiotic resistant infections in the United States alone. ‘But it’s going to become much more common.’ Imagine a world in which antibiotics resemble chemotherapy drugs—producing toxic side effects and unpredictable outcomes instead of the guaranteed cures we have come to expect…”
Akin to chemotherapy treatment! That sounds horrible…
If you are a believer in modern medicine, by the time you finish reading this article peppered with doom and gloom scenarios, you might be very depressed about the future of medical treatment.
But there is hope! The threat of infection can be countered and prevented with spiritual mindedness. Thought governs the body. If a fear or belief of infection does not get into thought, it cannot get into the body.
Antibiotics are failing today because they never eliminated the real cause of infection in the first place—fear and belief in disease.
Any perceived benefit from antibiotics never was from the drug. It was from people’s faith in the drug. It’s possible that a person’s faith in a medicine is greater than their faith in the infection. When that happens, the infection disappears. It’s called “medicine faith-healing.” But if an underlying fear of infection is not eliminated, it continues to grow. Over time, people’s fears of disease grow bigger than their faith in the medicine they take to counter it and the medicine ceases to work. Thus, the point we’re at today when many medicines that used to work, don’t work any longer. And the trend will continue.
The real need is to spiritualize thought, to eliminate the underlying cause of infection in the first place—the fears and false beliefs that open thought and body to invasion of harm.
And you can do that through understanding your spiritual individuality better.
You are a spiritual being living a spiritual life and endowed with permanent spiritual health. Bacteria cannot harm a spiritual child of God. Know this for yourself, and it will neutralize any fear or false belief that would convince you otherwise.
Understanding your spirituality is immunity against infection. Take heavy doses of this truth and you’ll be safe whether at home or in the hospital.

I have been hearing alot about mold and fungus from foods and sugar being the major cause of infections. Any thoughts or suggestions on this? Thanks.
Thank you, Evan, for sharing these very helpful ideas! I’m keeping in mind today the healing statement from Science and Health, p. 228:5,…nothing inharmonious can enter being, for Life is God.”
To above,
I haven’t heard anything about molds and foods being a major cause of infections, but it doesn’t really matter. They have no more effect over us than belief allows them to have. Whether the “culprit” is bacteria, germs, molds, or a food, it’s still the belief or fear that causes any suffering from them. Without the fear or false belief, they have a neutral effect.
I’ve heard from medical authorities that antibiotics have been proven harmful to the internal organs if used in excessive amounts. I’m totally convinced that that may be the cause of many Type 2 Diabetes cases. I knew of a little boy who developed Type 2 Diabetes recently shortly after being on antibiotics. I realize the discussion here is on the mental nature of all of this, but also want to point out that these so-called material cures all have negative side effects that actual seem to cause more harm than good. Another good argument for the side of God, good…….
When i read and was not expecting this “medicine faith-healing”, i started laughing. How humanly factual and a great CS Twist. Thanks for the laugh. G
We are having a bout with MRSA in a family member who believes in traditional medicine. After 9 days in the hospital on IV antibiotics, he is home. It is a comfort to him to hear your post read to him, as there is no guarantee that the medicine “worked”. I am so grateful for Christian Science.
