Sickness is actually a defense against the truth, the truth that we are perfect spiritual creations of God. But how do we stop sickness? The doctors we consult, and the cures we take, focus on our bodies, which are simply the effects of our thoughts. Therefore we are only treating the symptoms. (Which the Course approves of if you feel it helps you). However, the true cure is in our minds, even to the point where the Course tells us that the only real therapy is psychotherapy, healing the mind. The healing power of God can only take place in our mind. God has already created us perfect, and it is our decision to choose the healthy life we want.
