Yes. Alter in which way, though? Obviously healing a wound is altering the natural state, correct? (But in a positive way)

Illness can alter a mind, and there are medications which can "un-alter" the alteration, for lack of a better phrase.

Do you mean the ones that facilitate healing without adverse side effects?

Antibiotics are a case in point, when regarding "cures." Penicillin, for instance, will cure an infection by killing off the bad bacteria, but it also destroys good bacteria, which can require more medication to remove the ill side effects. I think thrush-mouth is an example in children.

Tell me about it! I got on some anti-biotics once. They were so strong my poop had no odor! The wife was thanking God, but I wasn't so happy. Mine has such an aromatic blend it's like the perfume of the gods!

Not that I am aware.

medications also alter the mind, which in turn usually makes people suicidal.

Yes, that would be pretty resonable and their aren't that many out there like that. Most medications have adverse side effects.

Wouldn't a good old fashion prayer do the job better?

What I do like is that if you have need of an antibiotic you can, after the dose is taken in full, administer Acidolphilous which replaces the "friendly bacteria" in your colon that Antibiotics strip you of.

Yes!!! I use that stuff!!! I have a bottle of it in the freezer right now.

You can also eat yogurt with the added cultures or whatever they're called.

I have some also. I always keep in on hand. When my son was going through the small acne issue, well, maybe just breakouts, he took this and it really helped him.
