Physician, heal thyself

So waitaminute. If the island has healing powers, why does Jack need to remove some kind of spinal tumor?
Thoughts -
The island has no special healing power. Locke wasn't physically handicapped, that it was psychological, and Rose is no more healed of her cancer than I am of my crippling inability to love.
The island does have healing power for some but not others.
The xrays are faked for some kind of manipulative purposes. Part of me thinks they were deliberately put up for Jack to find (of course, the hitch with that is Colleen getting shot - obviously not part of the plan).
Spoiler alert - supposedly some major character is supposed to die in this week's ep. Place your bets now. I'm going with Eko.

Even though you were being Mr. I know everything about previews and who said what when, I'm going to take a guess and hope you don't mock my thought process. (I'm kidding). I say Desmond. He's a major character now right? Or do we mean "original" character? We'll see.

I say they're killing off Daneman's inability to love.
