| I think I recall Max saying he was able to heal Liz because it wasn't her time yet.
Trying to heal the old guy in the 3rd season didn't have a very pleasant outcome.
When Max, in an early episode, was trying to explain things to Liz, he said that "we" can manipulate matter, and then he did the trick with the clay sculpture. So they all knew they could do that.
But just like I could potentially have learned to play the violin, but never did, so Michael was never going to be a great healer.
But it's more than that, because in the cancer ward, Michael wished he could have helped Max heal the kids. But then maybe he just didn't have enough self confidence and practice. Healing River Dog's ankle is a lot less complicated than removing cancer from a body.

And it's kind of cool to think of the character development and maturity as an expression of where the writers did choose to go with things--even though some may not have cared for the direction.
