Would you be able to describe on what basis you suspect this to be a condition needing spiritual healing, as supposed to one that has a 'purely' physical cause like let's say diabetes?

A couple of answers here. First, I took note of the fact that the medical profession cannot provide any "purely physical" cause for this. They say it happens but don't know how or why. Thus, if there is no medical cause then it is best to look for a non-medical cause which leads us into the spiritual realm. If, in the spiritual realm, it is not of God then there is only one other option.

Second. I don't necessarily admit that there is such a thing as "purely physical". The body and soul are a single entity and what affects one will affect the other. Any illness has a spiritual component and thus the body can be affected by spiritual action. It is my belief, stated elsewhere on this forum, that the treatment by solely medical or psychiatric means only addresses the symptoms of a deeper illness and that the cause can only be addressed by spiritual treatment as well as physical.
