Sure those things sometimes can be related to diet and exercise.

Spontaneous remission though? That’s presuming that such a thing really exists and that the healing is not an answer to prayer. However, knowing the medical (and scientific) community’s attitude towards the supernatural, they would just chalk it up to inexplicable spontaneous remission than admit that God had anything to do with it.

Besides, those conditions that are treated with diet and exercise take time. It’s not an instantaneous thing. What take the time is convincing the doctors and waiting for them to run the tests confirming.

If it’s not reasonable that God would do it, why is it reasonable that the human body would just decide to fix itself? Which is more probable?

So the prayers of people that have lost their teeth are worthless?

I'm certain that nearly everyone that has lost their teeth, vision, or an appendage have prayed their butts off for a miracle. Yet, their prayers seem to go unanswered. Hm.

You mean like a body fighting an infection? Like a hand that drops a cup that's too hot? That's the body defending - 'fixing' - itself.

That's a softball lobbed over home plate.

Even a six year old knows that that rhw body fixes itself, perhaps with the comforting addition of a plastic bandage.

The body tries to overcome everything that attacks it. Usually it wins, but eventually it loses. You don't need divine intervention to explain any of that in 99.99% of the situations.
