I fail to see how this proves  anything for your case.   Seventh
Day Adventists are VERY big on Medical care and even build their
own Hospitals and Medical Universities  (Loma  Linda University,
in California for example).

If you had been able to persuade someone who is of the Christian
Science faith into believing this  ?doctrine?,  then I think you
would be onto something.
