How about a treatment?
Cure and treatment are synonyms.
I'm glad you said that as my brain doesn't compute that cure and treatment are synonyms
I think what really matters is how literal or figurative the word being used is and what the context is.
And therein lies the rub , my limited definition of words and being too literal
That was a trolling post by GF ( or humour depending how you look at it ) , ignore him

Treatment is not cure. Treatment can either lessen symptoms short of a cure, or provide a cure.
You treat a cold with Tylenol and decongestants.
You can never cure the Common Cold.

A cure would be 100% complete alleviation of symptoms, permanently, and I have never ever claimed to have achieved that. Rather, I've been very transparent about the fact that symptoms are minimal relative to what they were, and that ongoing treatments are necessary in order to maintain alleviation of symptoms.

For the ~1,000th time, I've never once offered anything for sale, and certainly not snakeoil. I've shared with you all 100% free of charge what I do to treat myself with medicine and the results it has provided me. You referring to me as a snakeoil salesman is beyond rude.

It was a joke you quack.
Work on your material, it isn’t funny.
Keep the personal attacks and insults to yourself, too. That’s also rude af and not socially acceptable behaviour here or anywhere.
