The medical establishment has done wonders for people with those diseases. A hundred years ago, no one ever survived cancer, and most of those other diseases you mentioned were death sentences. These days, a diabetic cannot be cured, but he can expect to live nearly as long as if he had never developed the disease. The same can be said of many diseases.
Kook quackery, on the other hand, never accomplished anything besides lining some con man's pockets.

We take antibiotics so for granted.
