At one time I was inactive as a Scientologist for a while - busy with live, kids, work, etc., and didn't feel like I had the time or attention to take courses. I twisted my ankle that winter really badly - had the worst pain I'd ever experience from something like that. I wore a bandage for a while and it just wouldn't get better. My husband offered to do some assists for me. "Sure, why not?" I thought. We did a Touch Assist and the ankle felt better. We did more and it continued to improve. One day, during the assist, I felt a jolt in my ankle and then afterward, realized that the pain had gone! Not just lessened some more - but GONE! That did it for me -reminded my about the various wonders that I've experienced as a Scientologist and I got back onto a course not long after that. Amazing stuff.
