State radio announced that a new treatment regime, using oseltamivir, an anti-viral drug currently being stockpiled across Europe and the US, had enabled doctors to "cure" dozens of victims.
In the past 10 years, breakthroughs in research and new surgical techniques have enabled neurosurgeons to cure benign tumors.
Shamans, medical men, under the influence of hallucinogens believed that they acquired supernatural powers enabling them to cure illness, locate lost articles, affect fertility and control the weather.
Religion was primarily interested in order, whereas science, as it evolved, was primarily interested in power – the power that comes from understanding why and how things happen, and enables us to cure diseases, fight wars and produce food, among other things.

Fisher goes on to argue not only that we have failed to "stimulate the development of an arsenal of drugs that would enable us to cure or treat the diseases that are ravaging the developing world" but that lack of incentive has also resulted in a failure to produce the kinds of vaccines and drugs that would eradicate those diseases entirely, or at least shield people against them.
For Granville, it's about relieving the malaise and, with the invention of the vibrator, enabling them to cure themselves at their own convenience.

The plasmid encoding New1-mGFP (pSC101TS- NEW1) bore a temperature-sensitive origin of replication, enabling us to cure cells of New1-encoding DNA and thereby deplete cells of the New1 fusion protein.
Gaston Naessens believes small, indestructible Somatids are the building blocks of life itself and signify the health of the immune system, so when 714-X restores the Somatidian cycle, it strengthens the immune system, which enables the body to cure itself of what ails it.
