According to dr. Joseph Novak, a senior member of the American Medical Association that the human body was never designed to be a pain. God equips man with a security system that is strong enough to ward off any form of threat to the body that come from his own body as cells that have old and potentially become malignant / cancerous and external threats that the environment in the form of microorganisms and other materials.

Security is the immune system, are all mechanisms that are used to maintain the integrity of the body as protection against the dangers posed by a variety of materials from the environment. The security system of the body in the form "immune response" is needed for three things:
1. Maintain devoted to infectious microorganisms,
2. homeostasis (body balance), eliminating the body parts that are old,
3. Supervision, destroy mutated cells, especially those that become malignant. Then in fact it is designed for a healthy body, not to hurt. So should any treatment, prevention remains better actually, because prevention means eliminating the cause of disease itself.

In the book Tibb Nabawi Ibn Qayyim divide precautionary measures against the disease into two kinds, namely the prevention of the things that can cause pain, and from the things which aggravate existing disease, so the disease does not get worse.

The first way is called preventive for healthy people. While the second way is a preventive action for the sick. If a sick person is able to carry out preventive measures, the disease can be prevented from getting worse, so that he could increase the stamina to repel the disease.

Implicitly, Allah has explained this in one of his words,
And if you are ill or on a journey, or returning from the waste water (toilet) or touch the woman, then you do not get water, then bertayamumlah with good soil (net) .... (Al-Maidah [5]: 6)
In this verse, the pain prevented from using water during ablution, because water - in the case of certain diseases - could endanger the health of the body. Means the prevention of the causes of disease or something that causes the disease worsens greatly emphasized.

In conclusion, prevention is the best cure for the disease, can prevent the onset of illness or at least prevent the disease from getting worse and widened.

Sometimes someone wants something that is actually banned because it would further aggravate the pain. In this case according to Ibn al-Qayyim not why supplied with some notes. This is permissible if the sick person really wants it. Food was prohibited (as it will aggravate the disease) may be consumed origin slightly and in doses that are able to digest properly.

It would not be dangerous, even be useful. Because the condition of the body and the stomach will be mutually bound by a sense of love and happy, they will cooperatively dispel the things that concern the danger. It could be, would be more useful than taking medication that is not preferred by patients. In this case according to Ibn al-Qayyim that the healing was not only influenced by the drug, but the psychological factor and the acceptance of the drug by the body also have an important influence on health
