If you understand the illness and how it effects the body, you can write specific spells to slow the illness down and boost the immune system so that the body can fight off the problem naturally (which is what you really want to do). You can do a general health spell, but if taking that route then you probably aren't as informed on the situation as you may think.
General healing is a wider, more encompassing way to heal, but personally I find it less effective than something that you make more personal and direct.
As for the specific recurring illness, I'm not a doctor, but sometimes if an illness continue to recur then usually it's either a compromised immune system (which is the most likely) or by some fluke of nature, the individual keeps getting the same illness just mutated so it's changed to effect them in similar ways but not always exactly the same as they've had it before.
First I would recommend getting checked by a doctor for a hereditary illness as well as those which can be contracted. There may be a call for medication.
You can also try using Licorice Root in teas to help stimulate white blood cell growth (it works as a boost to help your immune system).
Lastly, if all other sources are expended, then I would write a spell directed specifically at trying to boost the white blood cells in the body so that they will be able to help fight off any bacteria and viruses that are attacking the body.
Also remember that not all bacteria is bad, and using a daily pro biotic will help too. 3/4's of your immune system is located in your small intestine.

Very good post,Silver! I am pleased that you accept the medical profession in some respects. I am rather concerned of some posts about "vampires" as needing to take "energy" from other people. These look like classic cases of anaemia to me.
I'm an ex-CNA and have a fascination with the medical field. Sadly, it's just not meant to be for me to be there, so I do my own research and stick with herbalism.
Well, I do not have a spell to cure an illness, but there is this very effective meditation I know. I do not know if you have an iPod, but if you go on iTunes, and type Ariel's Druidic craft of the wise meditations, a healing meditation is listed. The said meditation has been proven to cure both serious and minor illnesses. It is very relaxing podcast. You can download it and the speaker will walk you through it. It's free. I hope that helps.
