At whatever time highly-skilled physicians shall have
developed the healing of illnesses by means of foods, and shall make provision
for simple foods, and shall prohibit humankind from living as slaves to their
lustful appetites, it is certain that the incidence of chronic and diversified
illnesses will abate, and the general health of all mankind will be much
improved. This is destined to come about. In the same way, in the character,
the conduct and the manners of men, universal modifications will be made.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
