"Are we healed by faith and miracles or by medicine, reason and bed rest?"
Tom,
Personally, if I were healed by faith and miracles, I'd certainly be ready for the medicine, reason, and bed rest.
After all, all that faith and miracles stuff is mentally exhausting!
But in all seriousness, God can energize, but I think it's our responsibility to make good decisions with the life and physical body He's given us, and those last three are just good common sense decisions.

Another either/or proposition: Are these two alternatives mutually exclusive? Can't the healing be some of both?

I would say much of the art of modern medicine is pretty miraculous.

Faith is just believing where medicine gives one real hope.
Pharmacia is witchcraft...?
or perhaps God is a drug produced by the body.
