The Life and Legacy of Myrtle Fillmore
Myrtle shared her mental healing treatments with others in many ways, including through correspondence with those seeking help for poor health.
Mental Healing
To be certain that she had discovered a fundamental principle of health, Myrtle practiced her mental healing treatment first on her laundress Lucy, whose acute bronchitis disappeared. Then Myrtle helped her two older sons resolve chronic tonsilitis and croup by teaching them “there is nothing in all God’s world to fear.” Friends and neighbors witnessed these recoveries and asked Myrtle to work with them as well. Charles also took note and began his own recovery from a childhood ice-skating accident that had left him with a withered leg four inches shorter than the other. This was the beginning of the Fillmores’ healing ministry. They offered “mental healing” appointments to those in the Kansas City area for the next 20 years.
