A Shvere Rambam

לז"נ מלכה בת ר' עמרם ע"ה (יום השנה ג' אלול)   

Parshas Hashavua
  לא ימצא בך מעביר בנו --- ומנחש ומכשף(דברים יח:י )
   The Rambam (Hl. Avodah Zarah 11:12) writes:
  הלוחש על המכה וקורא פסוק מן התורה ---                      
לא די שהם בכלל מנחשים ---- שהן עושין             
   דברי תורה רפואת גוף ואינן אלא רפואת נפשות---
אבל הבריא שקרא פסוקין ומזמורי מתהילים כדי   
שתגן עליו זכות קריאתן – הרי זה מותר               


According to the Rambam you may not say Tehillim for a sick person. The Torah may not be used to heal sick bodies. The Torah is only for spiritual healing. Tehillim may be said only for healthy people, as a protection not to become sick.
The B’eiros Hamayim (Friedberg Rambam) writes, The Heter of saying Tehillim for healthy people is only B’dieved.  שקרא פסוקין))
As far as I know, no one argues on this Rambam and yet, it accepted in whole of Klall Yisroel when there is R”L a Choleh L”A to say Tehillim.
