I consider myself an expert, having been raised in a Christian Science home, and remembering my embarssment at being the only child in the class not getting the shots. One child asked me, "didn't my parents care what happened to me?" At age 80, I still am paying dearly for not having a broken back due to a serious skiing accident taken care of by physicians.

I think I have a solution. Have faith cure parents apply for a license that
would protect them from criminal charges. For that protection, they would have to agree to contact a specified medical worker if a child met certain
criteria: degree of pain (numerical) stated by the child, communicable diseases would be handled by their agreement to be out of public contact,
and other specific items. The agreement would be breached by failure. One
sentence should appear: We understand that in a serious situation, medicine,
according to our belief system, could not harm.
