I don't think Pill or Pilgrimage is the letter you were referring to JSP, but it's along the same lines.

In that rant by Berg he told Zerby, when she had venereal disease, to trust God for healing instead of taking medication. Berg asked, “When you start taking medicines, where are you going to stop?—And where are you going to start trusting the Lord?” Later he simplistically argued, “If He wants to heal you He doesn’t need any help, but if He doesn’t want to heal you, nothing would help!” Berg even urged Zerby to have sex with the very doctor who was treating her for VD, even though she might transmit the disease to him. Berg reasoned, “If he gets something he deserves it; if he doesn’t, well, praise God for His mercy!”
