It's funny, but unfortunately it fails the original intent of the response - which is to wish good health (originally of the soul) on the person doing the sneezing.

Unfortunately I cant think of a single-english-word response for "be healthy!" that doesn't sound dumb...

perhaps the foreign-language versions would work: santé (french) or even genki (japanese)

I hear Salud (Spanish) occasionally. A bit easier on the tongue than Gesundheit.
