Don't be waiting for the return of Jesus Christ to realize the gains of His presence already here on the earth. Christ is not dead and waiting for His own imminent return that is spoken of in the Bible, but He is already here in spirit. Yes Jesus will return and rule upon the earth, but His healing spirit is already here. Paul experienced the healing of his own mind, from being one who had been dragging Christians out of their houses and leading them to prison and death, to being one of the best supporters of Christianity and an Apostle of Jesus Christ. Yet, Paul still was plagued with a physical infirmity, maybe eye problems or back problems, but he had been healed in a thousand other ways. Paul sometimes talked about his thorn in the flesh. We often forget that our most important healing is our own conversion and the forgiveness of sins.
Many Christians may remain with physical infirmities, but no longer are plagued with the demons that they had once been possessed with, since Jesus came into their lives. A physical healing is possible for those with whom God chooses to bless them with, while others receive healing in a thousand different other ways. We don't all receive the same healing, but all of us receive what God would have us to receive. The most important healing is the turning away from sin and the acceptance of Jesus Christ as savior. We must give up our own sins willingly and then we will be healed.
The best medicine is to be able to help others and convince them to give up their sins willingly, and then and only then will they be healed of their greatest infirmities and sicknesses. The greatest healing is conversion, forgiveness of sins, and the blessings of eternal life. Lead people to Christ first and He will do the rest. Jesus is here on earth right now, present in Spirit, and walking among us.
