Dr. Sebi was born Alfredo Bowman in Honduras in 1933, and was a well-known holistic healer. Healing through the power of herbs was first taught to him by his grandmother. Dr. Sebi was later tutored by a Mexican Herbalist when he fell ill as an adult. After being healed and taught further by a Mexican herbalist Dr. Sebi was able to cure diabetes, obesity, herpes, HIV/AIDS, and many other ailments.
His claims may seem far-fetched, however, he has garnished thousands of positive testimonials including well-known celebrities. Because of his claims to be able to heal purported incurable diseases, he met opposition from the American Medical Association and was sued for false advertisement and tried in NY in 1988. However, Dr. Sebi had 77 in court witnesses testify to his healing abilities, which left the NY Supreme Court pre-trail judge with no other choice but to rule not guilty on all counts.
Dr. Sebi was an amazing and true healer in every sense of the word, and with a heavy heart I must report that over the past weekend he has been confirmed dead. The Usha Research Institute, where Dr. Sebi was an integral part of in Honduras, reported that he was pronounced dead in a Honduran hospital after being transported from a Honduran jail. Allegedly, he was arrested for having some 30,000 dollars on him. The circumstances surrounding his arrest, treatment while in custody, and his death are saturated in ambiguity.
His death comes as an unwanted blow for many communities. However, after following his research for many years I don’t think Dr. Sebi would want the world to be fighting and worrying about his death. I believe in my heart he would want the many communities that have followed his teachings over the years to carry out the vision of healing ourselves and the people around us through herbal healing. You will be missed King. Rest In Power Dr Sebi!
