Yes He was.
When he speaks to a sick person - he casts the spirit (the person is under bondage of) out. Jesus does it when He deals with anyone. Not just the sick people. For example, the person approached him saying that he wants to be His disciple. The final answer of Jesus was to give your wealth to the poor ones. That person went away. Jesus knew that he is under the bondage of love for wealth. The spirit that governed him is the spirit of wealth.
Coming to healing, for every sickness in us there is a spiritual reason. Rectify that and we will be alright. More than seeing our face, Jesus sees the spirit that controls us. So His words are straight to the spirit. The Holy spirit to the evil spirit. The evil spirit has to obey the true holy spirit.
This is possible even today. What we lack is the purity in spirit. And Jesus says any one who wish can be like his master.

No, he wasn't the first spiritualist healer and Mary Magdalene was not a medium..
If spiritualist healers are so effective, then why don't they go around hospital wards and save the NHS a packet? In fact, doctors would become redundant. Don't believe the lies of these people who make out they can heal but cannot, and don't be taken in by the stage managed public healings either.
Jesus healed people because he was God, the God that created matter and human beings in the beginning, and he did so for a special reason. Despite belief to the contrary, there are very few other such healings in the Bible, and again they all took place for a specific purpose.

No. If he did heal people then he was by no means the first. There have been spiritualist healers for far longer than there has been Christianity.

Jesus was not a Spiritualist, and he was not the first healer. Check out the Elijah and Elishah

And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.
And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.
But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper.
Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.
And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?
14 Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.

If you can find me proof that he was a healer I might be able to answer you.
