You are correct. Most people don't realize this about how medicine works. Eating a healthy diet and getting vigorous exercise will cure type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and help with many others. Medicine ignores the early (mostly harmless) incarnations of these and then advocates drug and surgical therapies when it's too late to remedy them via lifestyle. My answer shows that I have confidence in medical science to do what it can do (which the guy has tried for 18 years) but not to work magic.
