Has any disease ever been cured with medicine?
this may seem like a question with an obvious answer but i cant think of a time where medicine was the direct cause for curing a sickness. Fro what ive noticed medicine just makes the sickness more bearable to live with until it goes away.

Well... you have failed to notice quite a lot of things... Perhaps you have heard of small pox, polio, the bubonic plague, scurvy, rabies, measles, mumps, and the list goes on. Until the last 60 years or so, during war, more people died of infections than of wounds.

Many bacterial diseases can be fatal. A 7-year-old boy died last month from untreated strep. Antibiotics would have been an effective against that strain.
