We have what can only be described as a blessing in our country, the resources allowed to us by modern medicine, the blessing of flush toilets!

Depends on the sickness. Paul's admonition to drink a little wine for Timothy's stomach was most likely something to cause Timothy to not drink unclean water, not to imbibe in alchohol.

Also, the commands in Exodus to go without the camp to make a bowel movement, and then bury it, told to the Israelis, is also a human effort to avoid disease.

Neither of these events are something that you cvan do to yourself, they are things that happen from without, first, then affect you within.

Emotional problems start from within, first, then grow within.
