There is not even one for healing, not even a single one for healing

There is not even one for healing, not even a single one for healing

Figuratively: absolutely none at all. Nothing exists whatsoever (the expression originates from the halachic assumption that things are usually permitted for use for the purpose of healing).

("And let your heart inquire and you will lose money, and you shall not even drink it for healing, if another remedy is possible" – Rashbam, Pesachim 113a; also: "What is permitted even when not for healing, nevertheless on Shabbat it is forbidden because of 'seeking your own needs'" – Eliyah Rabbah, section 317; also: "But for laymen like them, until that time they had not seen with their own eyes even a single medicinal bush for healing, nor even a domesticated bush..." – H. Bar / To the Place the Wind Goes, p. 46)
