This epilepsy healing story is from: Healing Spiritually a Christian
Science experience, that is, as the result of reading, and
demonstration, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary
Baker Eddy along with the King James Bible. This epileptic healing is
from Judy E. Welch from the mentioned book.
"I became determined to see the epilepsy healed - Judy E. Welch
(Healing Spiritually 269)
In her testimony Judy cites Matthew 17:14, namely, the disciples asked
Jesus: why couldn't we heal the epileptic boy? He said because this
kind goes out not by evoking the name of Jesus Christ but by prayer,
i.e., denying the false.
If I'm not mistaken, the most important part of her learning
experience, or her healing, was that she was able to connect the dots
towards understanding the healing process. That is:
M-21.2. As symbols, words have quite specific references. 3 Unless a
specific referent does occur to the mind in conjunction with the word,
the word has little or no practical meaning, and thus cannot help the
healing process.
Welch tells us how she gave meaning and usefulness to her situation
from Matthew 17:14 - For me this has meant refusing to believe in a
power apart from God and acknowledging that man exists now as God's
perfect child (Healing Spiritually - Christian Science 271).
FROM A COURSE IN MIRACLES IT'S PUT THIS WAY: T-22.II.3. Illusions
carry only guilt and suffering, sickness and death, to their believers.
2 The form in which they are accepted is irrelevant. 3 No form of
misery in reason's eyes can be confused with joy. 4 Joy is eternal. 5
You can be sure indeed that any seeming happiness that does not last is
really fear. 6 Joy does not turn to sorrow, for the eternal cannot
change. 7 But sorrow can be turned to joy, for time gives way to the
eternal. 8 Only the timeless must remain unchanged, but everything in
time can change with time. 9 Yet if the change be real and not
imagined, illusions must give way to truth, and not to other dreams
that are but equally unreal. 10 This is no difference. T-1.I.24.
Miracles enable you to heal the sick and raise the dead because you
made sickness and death yourself, and can therefore abolish both.

I've always been a bit curious as to the
way CS picks and chooses it's Bible passages.
What does Mary Baker Eddy have to say about:
Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted
unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as
also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask
their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the
church.
1 Corinthians 14:34-35

W-pI.67.1. Love created me like itself. Today's idea is a complete and
accurate statement of what you are. 2 This is why you are the light of
the world. 3 This is why God appointed you as the world's savior. 4
This is why the Son of God looks to you for his salvation. 5 He is
saved by what you are. 6 We will make every effort today to reach this
truth about you, and to realize fully, if only for a moment, that it is
the truth.
W-pI.67.3. 2 If love created you like itself, this Self must be in you.
3 And somewhere in your mind It is there for you to find.
in other words, self-knowledge is a self-realization as the result of
honestly looking within your own mind. i cannot look into your mind
unless your give me your permission. if i'm correct eddy calls this
designing your own salvation. hope this has helped.

That still does not address the issue of
dependence on some parts of scripture
and considering other parts non-sequator.
Scriptural justification is a tricky thing.
My personal experience in Self-realization
and Self-knowledge n.b.; capital "S" has
forced me to totally turn my back on dogma.

Not just women! Personally, I'm an atheist, and it reminds me a lot of
those evangelist priests, who claim to make miracles and curing the sick.
I reckon what they're really doing is planting their own people in the
crowd, and getting them to lie to the rest of the vulnerable who hand over
their money willingly hoping for this *miracle* to happen!
They're preying on the vulnerable, gullible people "who" want to believe
that they will be cured by some kind of miracle - Christianity perhaps, so
they are willing to give their money away in large amounts to get this
promised blinded fantasy.
