God works through means
Do you go to the market for your food? Why? Why not just trust God that He will SUPPLY ALL your needs?
Your misuse of Scripture befuddles me
Besides what source are you using to craft your definition of dualism? It generally refers to the belief that there are two equal and opposing forces at work in the universe...one good and one evil.

The OT Jews understood very well they could not trust God and man and an honest study will show this. Today Christians believe they can trust both the medical system and God for healing which is nowhere taught in the Bible. For one thing God NEVER shares His glory with another and Jesus, who is God, demonstrated healing as God's will and glory. Many are doing what Judges 21:25 says and reaping the consequences because they refuse to do what Romans 12:1 says. This makes Romans 12:2 impossible in regard to trusting Jesus alone for healing.
King Asa is a good example in 2 Chronicles 15:12-13, 16:1-14. Also see 1 Kings 18:21 and Jeremiah 17:5-8. Here is the clear OT promise with conditions: Exodus 15:26, Exodus 23:25, Psalm 103:1-6, Psalm 107:20 which Jesus demonstrated in Matthew 8:5-13.
Do you have the Acts 2:4 experience?
