Homeopathy
Consider the effect of poison. Deadly though it is, it possesseth the power of exerting, under certain conditions, a beneficial influence.

One of the friends of Persia wrote to Shoghi Effendi and asked this question: "Is it true that ‘Abdu’l-Bahá has said that biochemical homeopathy, which is a form of food medicine, is in conformity with the Bahá’í medical concept?" The beloved Guardian's reply to this question in a letter dated 25th November, 1944 was as follows: "This statement is true, and the truth thereof will be revealed in the future." The Universal House of Justice has also asked us to inform you that it does not wish the above statement to be circulated in isolation from the many and varied other texts in the Writings on medicine. However, you may share it with any of your friends who are interested.
