God heals physical ailments...yes. But how?

Through providentially-appropriate means such as doctors, medicine, and through God's providential but non-miraculous blessings such as certain bacterias dying as they sometimes do naturally ...without always giving a reason why.


I would argue that on a terminal ward or hospice when cancer is very advanced it would seem rather foolish to pray that the cancer go away. It seems more prudent to pray for the welfare of the soul. Likewise, if I cut my leg off, it would seem foolish to pray for God to re-attach it.
