I have heard also something like that humans had a medicine for the flood (!) But before Forerunners whiped them out they destroyed the medicine for revenge so that Forerunners would have to fought against flood really hard.
The Flood we had fought was a primitive, less intelligent version, so it was more susceptible to various defensive meassures. Theoretically, the medicine would no longer work on the Flood since it evolved.
And it's a highly adaptable super cell, it'd be like trying to cure the common cold (except it's a common cold that kills people, steals their memories and turns the host into a zombie parasite)...
Theoretically, if you had a REALLY good, genetically enhanced immune system that could rapidly develop antibodies to a new infection and had really effective white blood cells (which might be do-able with ancient human/forerunner tech) could you fight off a bunch of flood super cells inside your bloodstream and resist infection?
Actually, no. Your immune system would have to be able to work faster then Cortana can think. The FSC is impossibly adaptable, to the point where pretty much all things thrown at it on a molecular level become useless. If anyone's seen the Andromeda Strain, its like that, but worse. Much worse.
