Dr. Sebi was one of the first major names I began studying when I decided to adopt a vegan diet. His teachings set the foundation for everything I know today. I began my health journey as a strict alkaline vegan and felt better than I ever had at that time. Though I am no longer an alkaline vegan, there is no doubt that that diet has amazing healing benefits.


Alfredo Bowman, also known as, Dr. Sebi was born in Honduras in 1933. He spent a lot of his childhood following his grandmother and studying nature.


Once he grew up, he moved to the United States. At this time he was suffering from asthma, impotency, diabetes and obesity. Once in the States, Sebi visited many Western Medicine doctors to help with his health. Unfortunately, their work was of no help and this lead Sebi to seek counsel in Mexico with a Mexican herbalist. The herbalist's techniques actually helped cure Sebi and led him to began studying herbal compounds and their reaction in the human body. He created multiple herbal formulas that cleanse and revitalize every cell in the human body. He followed a unique way of eating that allowed the body to repair and renew itself.


Through his research he was able to cure people of diseases that were said to be incurable. Diseases such as herpes and HIV. He did this by cleansing the body, giving it the minerals it lacks and allowing it to repair itself. He would start clients out on an alkaline vegan diet and have them work their way into a fast with the help of herbal remedies, like Irish Seamoss, Soursop and Bladderwack.


Dr. Sebi had all of his clients eat food only from his list of approved alkaline foods. He advocated for drinking one gallon of spring water daily, drinking herbal tinctures and teas and fasting for extended periods of time.

Dr. Sebi worked with multiple celebrities but the most popular healing relationship he had was with singer Left Eye from TLC. She visited the Usha village (Dr. Sebi's healing village) multiple times. She participated in multiple 40 day fasts and even documented some of her time there. Her documentary can be viewed on Youtube.


Some of the foods that Dr. Sebi introduced me to are Irish Seam0ss, Soursop, Bladderwack, Spelt flour, Burro Bananas, Papaya and Kamut. I've incorporated these foods into my everyday routine and have seen tremendous improvement in my health.

In 1988 Sebi ran ads in the local newspaper stating that he could cure people of any disease. The New York Attorney general saw this and brought him to court believing his claims to be false. However, when Sebi brought in the 77 people that he had cured, he won the case! This is all public information.


There have been many people that have tried to discredit the work that Dr. Sebi has done. They have argued everything from the fact that he didn't go to college, let alone high school, that his diet doesn't work and that he was sued by the United States government. Regardless of the criticisms made against Dr. Sebi, it is undeniable that he has the knowledge to heal people. From studying his methods, it is clear that he uses simple detoxification methods that ANY naturopathic doctor or detox specialist knows how to do. This is not psuedoscience or fake news. Dr. Sebi is who he claims to be and deserves all of the praise he gets.
