I did a little research on the use of cure and I was able to find ‘cure’ being used in a very light manner.
For example ‘he is almost cured from his cold.’ Or ‘I am completely cured of the food poisoning.’ So while there are many cases of it being used on-line.
I would say that in my experience 'cure' is very rarely used.
For things like the common cold I would say, ‘I feel better,’ or ‘I’m over my cold.’ An example of cure would be we have cured Rabies. In 2007 a vaccine for rabies was developed. Rabies for dogs has a cure.
'Cure' often has the sense of finding a solution to a health problem and is often used as a noun as in: Finding a cure for cancer, for the common cold and so on. It is used in a general way. 'Heal' can be both transitive and intransitive and describes the way in which a wound or an injury starts to improve and cease to be. It is used in a specific sense as in: That cut on your arm will soon heal or That cream will soon heal the burn to your skin.
To describe cankers we could say ‘my cankers have healed.’ Or I usually just say ‘my cankers are gone.’
