Well, that kind of gobbledegook might explain pain relief, but it doesn't
explain "getting people better". Presumably, if you have a medical condition,
you would prefer it be addressed directly, rather than just have the pain
suppressed while it gets worse, so you'll have to come up with some more
gobbledegook here.

I thought you said your miracle worker insisted that it would take eleven
more treatments to cure your back - a statement that is usually interpreted
as "your insurance plan covers twelve treatments".
When you first started these postings, I believed you were for real,
but a while back the string of successses started sounding like the old
traveling salesman joke. You know, the one where the guy's car breaks
down way out in the country, he talks a farmer into putting him up for the
night, and he provides a gamut of personal services to the members of the
family?

They aren't too hard to make up, but I must compliment you on your skill
at maintaining the same tone throughout yours. Having done a bit of
fiction writing and editing myself, I know it isn't always easy to put
yourself into a particular persona, and maintain a consistent personality
and "voice" throughout when writing in first person.
You might consider taking up writing humourous fiction as a hobby. There
isn't much money in it, unless you are excellent, but it can be fun. The
above story sequence has good build up, but in order to be effective,
you need to follow through with a few more "cases", each even more
bizarre and unbelievable, e.g. raising a family member from the dead,
or at least curing a condition or two that isn't self-limiting or
relapsing/remitting, and then follow through with a real good punchline.
A snappier delivery would help the audience avoid spotting the continuity
errors, too.
I await your future literary efforts with interest.
