Praying for Good Health.?

I know someone who is suffering from an as-yet unknown illness. He's going through test after test and fears that he won't get any better. He wants to know if it's selfish to pray for good health, or for God to help him get better. I told him it's not, but can't quite explain why. Do you think it's selfish to pray for good health? Why or why not?
