Whilst the background would be more magical (and less clinical), and building on Donald's earler comment, I thought there was a Yelmic runespell called "Fight Disease" (or somesuch) written up in Gods of Glorantha and/or the Cults Compendium, which did precisely that.  
Would it not have an HQ equivalent based on Yelmic myths about Yelm overcoming Mallia?

I would reword it as "strengthen a person's body and soul to resist the spirits of Malia". Or whatever the perceived cause of the illness.
