Most common reasons for ping failures (Request Timed Out)
1. firewall
2. routing
3. network
4. configuration errors
Proof for the above statements:
C:\WINDOWS> ping curingdisease.com
Pinging curingdisease.com [208.185.127.162] with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.

So there you have it. What is the IP address assigned to?. Depending upon
how you check you get 4 different answers. Looks like configuration problems
to me.
The second address you mentioned pings just fine.
