Not every medical problem can be fixed. Sometimes life just deals you a bad hand.

Where did I say that all diseases were curable by Western doctors?

Doesn't "Western medicine failed" imply that you think alternative medicine would have succeeded? Apologies if I misinterpreted what you said. I didn't mean it as a challenge.

Not who you're talking to, but no, it doesn't imply that.

If Person A's strategy didn't work, that doesn't guarantee that Person B's strategy would've worked.
