Vipassana is not a remedy for disease, yet it is a "cure-all", cutting off the cycle of birth and death, the cycle of suffering. Vipassana is the noble way to real peace, the real happiness of nibbana.

In the case of disease, tranquillity and equipoise of mind will help and hasten healing.

It should be very clear that Vipassana is not for curing illness. 

Vipassana meditation is a science to experience the reality about oneself, culminating in the realization of Absolute Truth, which is beyond mental-material phenomena. 

It is a process of purification of the mind. 

As the mind is cleansed of defilements, various somatic or bodily manifestations of disease, due to defilements in the psyche, disappear or are alleviated as a by-product.

Vipassana is a path, establishing oneself in equanimity on the basis of physical, bodily sensations, and knowing by direct experience (panna), the impermanent nature (anicca) of these sensations, the impermanent nature of the universe, and the impermanent nature of existence. 

This equanimity will always help in the vicissitudes of life; during trying times, in the serious suffering of ill health, in life-threatening situations. 

Even at the moment of death, equanimity and understanding anicca are bound to help, to maintain peace and remain fearless and fully conscious when leaving this life.

Vipassana is not a remedy for disease, yet it is a "cure-all", cutting off the cycle of birth and death, the cycle of suffering. 

Vipassana is the noble way to real peace, the real happiness of nibbana.
