Wisdom and Instructions for Healing and Health...
Solomon is acknowledged as the wisest man to have ever lived, and the wisdom summed up in Proverbs concerning healing and health doesn't anywhere mention doctors or drugs, but rather obedience, humility, guarding our tongues, and a focus on God and His Word.
Proverbs 3:7-8
"Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.
It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones."
Proverbs 4:20-22
"My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh."
Proverbs 12:18
"...but the tongue of the wise is health."
Proverbs 15:4
"A wholesome tongue is a tree of life..."
Proverbs 17:22
"A merry heart doeth good like a medicine..."
“But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us,”
