Paraphrase

Hello...

Can we paraphrase this sentence, "You do not need to wait until the scientists have proven this to be true before you can experience the truth of it"

into

"You do not need to wait until the scientists have proven this to be true to experience the truth of it",

without losing the original meaning?

Are there any other ways of paraphrasing the sentence above?

Thanks for the input, CJ!!
It's great help....

I wanted to know the paraphrase of "before you can experience the truth of it".

You have already created a good paraphrase. Another is "before experiencing the truth of it", but that's not better than the paraphrase you have already mentioned.
