Dr. Sebi came to the United States at the mere age of 20 suffering from many of the conditions he claims to cure today. After visiting a myriad of specialist M.D.'s he traveled to Latin America where he was "cured" of all his ailments with the help of natural "electric" foods and herbal concoctions. He gained experience with the secret curing agents in food through his travels in Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa and the United States.
Dr. Sebi's practice, the Healing Village, is located in Honduras, Central America. The naturally pure setting is enveloped with relaxing hot springs and peace only available in the most remote spots on earth. Patients travel from thousands of miles to experience the healing thermal waters and herbal therapies offered by Dr. Sebi.
The Sebi approach to medicine consists of four treatments aimed at returning the body to its natural state before being flooded with life's toxins. Stage one cleanses every cell in the body by removing the cellular level "dirt" accumulated through years of fighting off illnesses. Stage two cleanses the skin with a thermal bath that returns the body to a healing PH of 8.9. Stage three, the natural sauna, uses volcano heat and vapor containing sulfur and phosphorus to energize and heal. Stage four, the final stage, re-electrifies the body with herbal remedies formulated by Dr. Sebi.
Dr. Sebi centers his medicinal approach on herbology. His beliefs are grounded in that all beings were created by God as electrical entities. From birth, we feed our bodies "dead" foods found in traditional stores and grocery shops. Electric foods can only be found in nature. The theory is essence centers on the natural circle of life. By giving one's body back to nature you will return to your natural healthy state. The herbs and foods that cure are ones grown without the interference of the hand of man. That is to say, if an herb grows naturally in a forest, it retains its electric curing ability, but the same herb grown in a hot house will not hold healing qualities.
Dr. Sebi has not practiced his methods without going unnoticed. In December of 1997, Alfred Bowman aka Dr. Sebi, was arrested and jailed for practicing medicine without a medical license and making claims of cures without the approval of the FDA. The charges centered on an ad Dr. Sebi was running in newspapers claiming, "Aids has been cured by the USHA Research Institute, and we specialize in cures for Sickle Cell, Lupus, Blindness, Herpes, Cancer and Others." Dr. Sebi defended himself by claiming he suffered from numerous medical conditions as did many of his patients and was cured by the herbal therapies the USHA Research Institute had created.
Dr. Sebi was later released when found not guilty by the New York Supreme Court. Though he had not convinced the prosecutor of his saneness he somehow turned the Judge into a believer in his methodology.
As for substantiating his claims for curing the incurable, Dr. Sebi has documented many case studies of patients diagnosed with AIDS and later being AIDS free thanks to his herbal treatments.
Whether we believe in what Dr. Sebi dishes to us on his electric plate or not, the thought of returning our minds and souls to nature is a calming alternative to a childproof prescription bottle. The lesson to be learned is a simple one, life is sometimes best lived unaltered by the hand of man.
