Roger,
As someone intensely interested in healing, I have some ideas - take them for what you will...
First, a wish or desire for healing is not sufficient to often cause a healing. Why? There is no judgement here, and no divine unfairness. Simply put, spiritual healing occurs when both the healer and the patient, combine strong conviction/belief with the prayer for the healing, and are able to affect probabilities in the real world and manifest a healing. Probabilities are what they are. They are tendencies, but various factors may affect a possible or probable outcome. The physical world has a wide range of energies which can cause confounding variables. This makes scientific experiments difficult (to control for the variables in order to study one particular phenomenon).
I would put it to you that spiritual healing suffers from the same interactions with multiple variables. One of them, on a spiritual level is what Kathy refers to as "cross purpose" thinking (thank you Kathy). Meaning, the healing is sought after, and the healed state visualized but at the same time, doubt arises and the subconscious template is given a deeper message of "that will never work, I am going to die,(etc.)" This is not to blame a person for a failed healing (worst thing to think is if I had been strong enough in my faith, then the outcome would have been different). Just to say that we all wish for things, but at the same time cultivate doubt and negative thoughts too.
The subconscious template responds not to our superficial wishes or thoughts, but to our deepest convictions. If we say "I want this tumor healed. I believe it," but we are cultivating the thought "that is impossible," the subconscious either gets two commands to manifest different outcomes, or only the negative one sticks for it is coupled to belief. It is for this reason that many healers try to cultivate the excitement and give thanks for the healing as if it already happened. The idea being that you manifest the healing when you learn to couple the command to conviction or true belief. (This is, in my opinion the secret to many types of shamanism, magic, and manifestations in our daily lives in the earth plane).
The other confounding variables likely have to do with the energy and thoughts of others we interact with, the physical laws related to the illness, and also, possibly any divine plan we are part of in terms of the exit of our earthly life - though that part I have no experience with myself.
What is in the best interest for the person? Well, normally, we all would say "a healing," but under what circumstances is that not true? I don't know. If someone has done what they set out to do in the earth plane - if they can better spiritually develop in Focus 27 at a certain stage in their life, does it still make sense to stay in a body on earth? I don't know. But it is food for thought.
There are books on spiritual scientific healing - there have been several spiritualist healing movements/schools. I read an interesting book on the subject by Ernest Holmes called the Science of Mind which I found to be most interesting.
I think some renowned healers are more free of ego clutter than most of us. JC had many famous healings, but I always found it interesting that he credited the afflicted person's faith in being the catalyst for the healing "your faith has made you whole." This may be another factor, wherein, the spiritual healer has believe/conviction in the healing, but the afflicted person does not. There may be instances where a person's will/intent may trump another's, but I am not aware of how that kind of equation would work...
