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.
