That is a question that can be found on Wikapedia. Basically, its founder, Mary Baker Eddy, was being treated by a man named Phinius Parkhurst Quimby, who practised a modified version of hypnotism to cure his patients. Apparently Eddy was cursed by this man, after she went to him, having fallen on ice, whilst out skating. She adopted and somewhat altered his teaching, and came up with Christian Science, that insists on the non-being, that things are not real, only we perceive them to be real. It is a very Satanic cult.

Answer 2:


Mary Baker Eddy searched for physical health throughout the first 45 years of her life. Just before discovering Christian Science, she tried two alternative healing methods.


First, she utilized a water cure method at Dr. Vail’s Hydropathic Institute in Hill, New Hampshire. This method was a combination of air, exercise, diet, and water treatments. She only grew physically worse with this modality.


Next, Eddy tried to obtain a cure by using the services of a mesmeric healer, Phineas Parkhurst Quimby. Quimby’s methods helped her for a short time, but her ailments quickly returned.


The failures of the two systems lead Eddy to focus her approach to wellbeing more completely on the healings of Jesus.


Then Eddy had an accident. The severity of the accident made others believe she wouldn't live much longer or at least recover from the effects of the accident. However, since she was a lifelong student of the Scriptures, it was natural for her to turn to The Bible at this time.


While lying on her bed reading accounts of Christ Jesus' healing works, she suddenly saw that life was in and of Spirit, God, instead of in and of the body or physicality. And she was restored from the effects of the accident.


She was grateful for this healing, but she wasn't completely satisfied. She still yearned to know more about God as a God who heals all our diseases. Was there a consistent spiritual healing method? So, for the next three years, she pondered her healing and searched the Scriptures. And this is when she discovered what she felt were the laws of spiritual healing. She named her discovery at first, Moral Science, then later, Christian Science.
