Famed herbal healer, pathologist, and naturalist holistic Dr. Sebi died at the age 82 in 2016. Dr. Sebi gained notoriety from claiming to heal the body from diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and even AIDS. Events surrounding his death are still a little sketchy. Sources say he died at a hospital after contracting pneumonia while being held in police custody.
According to his webpage, Dr. Sebi was born Alfredo Bowman in Honduras in 1933 and spent “decades studying the plants and herbs of North, South and Central America, Africa and the Caribbean.”
Dr. Sebi’s website sold a variety of tonics, capsules, and powders. All of them under the "Cell-Food" label. Most products were based on the premise of feeding the cells the "God-given foods ordained to maintain a healthy body." Products included Banju - a product to stimulate the brain and central nervous system and be extremely effective for children diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder as well as Bio Ferrel - a powerful blood nourisher and purifier.
Sebi came to the United States as a self-educated man who was diagnosed with asthma, diabetes, impotency, and obesity. After unsuccessful treatments with conventional doctors and traditional western medicine, Sebi was lead to an herbalist in Mexico. Finding great healing success from all his ailments, he began creating natural vegetation cell food compounds geared for inter-cellular cleansing and the revitalization of all the cells that make up the human body.

Dr. Sebi uses an African approach to disease, that diametrically opposes the traditional Western approach to medicine. Specifically, his African Bio-mineral Balance packages research reveals that all manifestation of disease starts when and where the mucous membrane has been compromised. For example, if there is excess mucous in the bronchial tubes, the disease is Bronchitis; if it is in the lungs, the disease is Pneumonia; in the pancreatic duct, it is Diabetes; in the joints Arthritis. All of the African Bio-mineral Balance compounds are comprised of natural plants high in alkaline; helping the body to be alkalized that highest level to fight disease.

It is Dr. Sebi's belief that disease can only exist in an environment that is acid; thus it is inconsistent to...
...utilize inorganic substances when treating disease because they are of an acid base. Only consistent use of natural botanical remedies will effectively cleanse and detoxify a diseased body, reversing it to its intended alkaline state.
The African Bio-mineral Balance system of nutrition goes even further. In addition to removing the accumulation of years of toxins, it replaces depleted minerals and rejuvenates damaged cell tissue eroded by the acid, diseased state. The primary organs of elimination are the skin, liver, gall bladder, lymph glands, kidneys and the colon. If all toxins are eliminated from the above mentioned organs they will be recycled throughout the entire body, manifesting disease. Eventually the body breaks down in the weakest organs due to its inability to dispel the influence of toxins. The colon is the most important organ and must be cleansed by detoxifying before any disease can be reversed. If the colon is the only organ cleansed and detoxified the other major organs will be left toxic, thus leaving the disease in the body.
