CHAPTER 1

Introduction

Health is wealth; many will say, but still, they neglect the call to give proper attention to their health for numerous reasons. Top of the list mostly is the lack of time, but when we are struck by sickness; time eventually pauses because we cannot do what we want to do.

We fail to understand that illnesses and diseases accumulate over time, they do not just appear from nowhere. Your body must have been giving you signs, but you ignored them all.

When you start feeling tired easily, experiencing digestive distress, your allergies became more frequent, you started feeling unhealthy despite eating well, were feeling weak in your joints, not mentally sharp as usual, and you felt stressed out easily, etc., that is your body sending you a message.

This can be likened to a car before it breaks down, it always gives off signals, like starting after several attempts, jerking, and making some weird sounds. These signals are your defense mechanism reacting to the anomalies or impending danger posed by pathogens. So, when we get these signals, we ought to act almost immediately, to ensure that our body system gets back to normal.

Most times, the simple thing to do is detox, which is to rid our system of unwanted materials. You might have heard about detox before or maybe not fully understood the concept. You have nothing to worry about because it is adequately explained in this book.

The idea of detox seems repulsive to a lot of people. For some, it is too restrictive and demanding. Hence, this book provides you with the natural ways and steps you can follow to detox your system. These guidelines are more of healthy eating habits as provided by Dr. Sebi. 

To get the best out of Dr. Sebi's alkaline diet; this book has defined a 3-step system to detox your body naturally. The 1st step is to make you understand what Dr Sebi’s diet is all about because we cannot walk in ignorance and get the best out of anything. So, you must have a grand understanding of the diet before doing anything else.

Having received a thorough understanding of the diet; the 2nd step is to know the constituent make-up of the diet. Knowing the principles of how a car moves, does not mean you know the different parts of the car, hence, the need to understand various components of the car. The best drivers do not just know how the car moves, but they understand every part of their car.

The same thing applies to Dr. Sebi’s diet, aside from knowing how the diet works, you should know the foods allowed and those prohibited, as this will guide you in making your meal plan. The 3rd step is to plan your weekly meal plan, Though a 7-day meal plan guide is already provided for you, you can chart your course for yourself from the list of approved foods in step 2. These 3- steps are the key to unlock your body’s natural detoxification, so read on and let me get your feedback.

CHAPTER 2

Who is Dr. Sebi ?

Alfred Darrington Bowman, popularly known as Dr. Sebi, was born in Spanish Honduras, precisely in the village known as Ilanga. He was born on the 26th of November 1933, and he died on August 6, 2016. Throughout his life, he never identified himself as an African Honduran, but as an African living in Honduras. He is believed to have married twice and survived by 17 children.

Dr. Sebi was popularly known as a self-educated herbalist and healer. Among the places, he practised was the US in the latter part of his life. Dr. Sebi was also a biochemist, naturalist and pathologist. He created a special and unique technique of healing centred on rooted herbs. In about 30 years of his career, he carefully studied these herbs found by the rivers and forests in Africa, in South, North and Central America, and in the Caribbean.

At the time Dr. Sebi came to the United States of America, he was diagnosed with diabetes, obesity, impotence and asthma. And after a series of failed treatments with both orthodox doctors with modern drugs and traditional Western medication, he was referred to Mexico to meet an herbalist. The success of this Mexican herbalist, in healing all his medical conditions and the knowledge he acquired studying under his grandmother, ‘mama hay’ inspired him to start developing natural vegetation cell food compound.

These compounds were created using unorthodox methodology he spent years developing, which was possible through years of acquired empirical knowledge. His compounds have the sole purpose of cleansing and revitalizing all the cells found in the body. This, he dedicated 30 years of his life doing despite several oppositions until his death.

Dr. Sebi incorporated the famous African methodology to disease, which largely depends on the use of natural herbs (botanical) remedies. These remedies are responsible for cleansing and eliminating toxins from the body through the process known as detoxification. This process is aimed at reinstating the body to its alkaline state, away from an acid state that encourages and leads to growth, development of pathology and diseases.

At the centre of this remedy is a natural vegetable cell food compound. Dr. Sebi believed that cell food, because of its components, could rejuvenate damaged cell tissues which are mostly caused by acidity. This idea is achieved by replenishing used up minerals and getting rid of accumulated toxins in the human body.

These toxins primarily affect organs such as liver, lymph glands, kidneys, skin, etc. So, he developed an alkaline nutritional plan that is not centered on the pathology or diseases, but rather on the entire wellbeing of the individual to boost recovery. And cell foods play a huge role in creating the environment necessary for healing and healthy living.

Dr. Sebi’s life work was promoting benefits from alkalizing the body through one’s diet (food intake). He claimed that eating dead foods hinders the body from carrying out its natural processes of cleansing itself, which would ensure the body remains in good health. These dead foods include; alcohol, sugar, meat, all processed products, poultry, fried foods, etc.

His theory is that when these foods mentioned above are eliminated from one's diet, the body's ability to cleanse naturally (detox) would be enhanced, which will eventually lead and keep one’s body in good health. These foods which are also referred to as alkaline foods include; vegetables without starch, raw nuts, naturally ripened fruits, and grains (such as rye, quinoa, Kamut). With this simple procedure, he went on to claim he was successful in curing chronic illnesses such as blindness, diabetes, AIDS, cancer and many others.

Through Dr. Sebi’s office located in Brooklyn, New York and Dr. Sebi’s LLC, which is located in La Ceiba, Honduras, he continuously shares his deep-rooted knowledge of traditional herbs and their constituents. Dr. Sebi believes and claims he can treat all ailments with herbs and a strict vegan diet. And he also denied that AIDS is a result of HIV.

These claims can at best be referred to as pseudoscientific. He created and developed varieties of products which include; Hair Food, Cell Proliferate Eva-Therapeutic Salve, Horadin, Nervino, Limphaslin, Testee II, Uturin, etc. And also, markets his products through the mentioned institutes. He has an all-inclusive package worth 1,500 dollars which he claims will detoxify the body cells by breaking down mucus, acids and toxins for easy excretion.

Alfred Bowman used the title and name Dr. Sebi even though he’s had no formal training in medicine. For this fact, some attorneys, doctors with a license and other protection agencies in the United States have referred to him as a quack. And many hold the opinion that he became a threat to multinational medical industries. This group purported the theory that these industries rely on and profit from continued sickness.

On several occasions, he was arrested and prosecuted for practising without a license. In 1987, Dr. Sebi was charged and sent to court by the attorney general of New York, Robert Adams. He was indicted on two counts of charges of illegal practice of medicine without a license, fraudulent claims of therapeutic abilities of his products and services resulting in the cure of some illness, including AIDS. Also, he was accused of illegally selling products that are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

These charges came up as a result of his advertisements which he had put up in the Amsterdam News and Village Voice newspaper claiming that he could cure AIDS, sickle cell anaemia, herpes and other diseases. Though he was instructed to take down the advert by the New York department of consumer affairs and the attorney general before the lawsuits, he refused.

All his clients needed to do was to pay 500 dollars as an initial fee and about 80 dollars on subsequent appointments. He added in the advert that USHA had already cured AIDS. The judge, in this case, demanded that Dr. Sebi should provide a patient who would testify he indeed had cured him. But it was recorded that he brought over 70 patients and was eventually released.

The trial increased Dr. Sebi’s fame due to the verdict reached by the Brooklyn supreme court. According to the report on the trial by Amsterdam news, the prosecutor had tape records recovered from the two agents acting undercover to infiltrate Dr. Sebi’s institute with the so purpose of catching him making medical diagnoses.

And although the prosecutor shared these recordings with the court, the jury was not convinced that Dr. Sebi indeed made the medical diagnosis. This verdict was very significant because it ushered in the global recognition of the African bio-mineral balance (a therapeutic method important in suiting the nutritional requirements of the gene structure of Africans) developed by USHA as claimed by Dr. Sebi’s attorney, Simeon Greenaway. Dr. Sebi, who is often referred to this victory on interviews.

Five years ago, Dr. Sebi claimed on the Rock Newman show when he was interviewed that he had defended himself. According to him, "the judge instructed me to provide one patient I had treated to justify my claim, and I provided over 70." He also said when he first told his mama he had cured over 10 AIDS patient, she was afraid and was sure that the authorities would come after him.

Dr. Sebi also explained the process he used to cure a patient having AIDS. He told the interviewer that he only helped him cleanse his cells by administrating one of his compounds and restructuring his diet. He also removed foods containing lactose, carbonic acid, starch, milk, meat and uric acid from his diet. By doing this, the patient began to see improvements within 24 hours, he said.

But before his interview, there were subsequent civil suits filed against USHA that were successful. In this case, the court found Dr. Sebi’s claims were unsubstantiated. So, Dr. Sebi’s company was forced to sign an agreement stopping them from making claims of the therapeutic abilities of their products. The agreement forbade USHA, Fig Tree institute and their directors, officers, agents, employees, successors, Dr. Sebi and Mama Bowman from making claims, whether written or oral, directly or by implication that their products or services can cure or relieve or even alter the course or direction of any form of disease or physical conditions such as sickle cell anemia, AIDS, pains, leukemia, lupus, injuries, herpes, deformities, ulcers, etc.

Coupled with other restrictions, he was fined 900 dollars. After the case, Dr. Sebi relocated and moved his USHA research institutes to California. In California, he grew and expanded his practice and he had top celebrities among his clientele, including Michael Jackson, Lisa Lopes, John Travolta, Steven Seagal, Eddie Murphy amongst many others.

Dr. Sebi in 2004 claimed Michael Jackson, before the singer was charged with child abuse, was his patient. He also claimed he had helped the superstar to overcome his painkillers addiction (Morphine and Demerol) with the help of his food therapy (African Bio-Electric Cell Food) within six months, working with him in Colorado.

Dr. Sebi later sued Michael Jackson, alleging Jackson’s brother didn’t pay him fully when he paid him 10,000 dollars. He claimed he was owed 380,000 dollars and demanded to be paid an additional sum of 600,000 dollars for damages resulting from the time he used to make court appointments, which made him defer appointments with other clients and some other engagements.

This made Jackson's publicist issue a statement denying Dr. Sebi’s claims, stating that his client neither had a painkillers addition nor received any form of professional treatment from the self-acclaimed doctor. In 2015, the case was dismissed by the judge due to lack of prosecution.

Dr. Sebi was arrested on the 28th of May with the possession of the sum of 37,000 dollars at the Juan Manuel Galvez international airport located in Honduras. Although he was released pending his court hearing, he was rearrested on June 3 later that same year by Honduras branch of intelligence equivalent to the US FBI known as Ministerio Publico, and he was charged with money laundering.

Official records of his arrest have still not been released to clarify the reasons for the arrest since it would not have been out of place for a man like himself with top celebrities as clients to have that amount of money in his possession. Dr. Sebi remained in custody over a month awaiting trial. His family tried to release him but were unsuccessful. He was later rushed to the hospital on August 6 when he suffered from pneumonia. He, however, died on the way to the hospital at the age of 82.

Dr. Sebi’s life, works/claims and death were not covered by major news agencies. This is some of the fuel behind the conspiracy theory that claims multi-dollars pharmaceutical companies were against the self-made doctor and people knowing about him and his diet and products and even his death.

The conspiracy theorist believes that a man who claimed to have cured AIDS and defended his claims in court by providing patients he had cured would make headlines in every news agency. They believe the reason for his non-viral public presence was doctored by these pharmaceutical companies because "there is no profit in a cure." They hold the opinion that the pharmaceutical business need people to be sick to make their money, and they don't get anything if they are well.

And Dr. Sebi was not only selling wellness, but he was selling it without the use of synthetic drugs and merely encouraging and guiding people towards a healthy lifestyle by eating the right meals and in some cases administering pure herbal products. This would lead people away from the use of medications, which would harm the pockets of these pharmaceutical companies.

This conspiracy theory also connects the death of Nipsey Hussle, a US rapper based in Los Angeles. Before his untimely demise, the rapper made known to the public in a breakfast club interview in 2018 that he was working on a documentary on Dr. Sebi’s trial of 1985, against New York when he claimed he had cured AIDS.

He said the story was essential and felt people would want to know more about someone who not only claimed, but also defended the claim to have the cure for AIDS. He was reported to have jokingly said that the project could result in his death. These theorists believed that the death of the rapper was the handiwork of the pharmaceutical companies to prevent Dr. Sebi’s work from becoming public.

CHAPTER 3

What is Dr. Sebi’s Diet?

Dr. Sebi’s diet consists of a strict alkaline centred dietary routine and herbal supplements. Dr. Sebi believes that diseases and illnesses are end products of the accumulation of acid and mucus in the body. But in an alkaline environment, disease and illness cannot survive. So, his diet functions to detoxify or cleanse and restore the alkaline balance of the body.

However, there is yet to be any scientific backing to this claim. The diet is plant-based, and it prohibits the consumption of all kinds of animal products such as milk, meat, etc. It is very similar to a vegan diet, but it doesn't permit the consumption of all plants, especially those that are not alkaline.

Dr. Sebi's diet prohibits seedless fruits, and only grains that are naturally grown are permitted. This diet also prohibits the consumption of all kinds of human-made and hybrid foods. The herbalist believes strict adherence to this diet will not only cure you of diseases, but also help your body become immune to them by creating an alkaline environment in the body that hinders the growth and development of diseases.

What is Alkaline Food?

There are several factors responsible for the proper functioning of the body’s cells and tissues; these include the body’s pH, temperature, hydration, nutrients availability and so on. pH could either be acidic or alkaline depending on its measurement. It has a scale that starts from 0 and ends in 14. When the pH is below 7 (that is, from 6 to 0), the pH is said to be acidic. When it is 7, it is neutral, and when it is higher than 7 (that is, from 8 to 14), the pH is considered alkalizing.

However, the body operates typically slightly above neutral; at 7.365. The most critical and most protected pH of the body is that of the blood because any slight fluctuation in its pH could prove disastrous. When the blood pH level reduces to 6, it means the individual had already fallen into a coma. To determine whether the body is acidic or alkaline, a simple test which could even be done at home should be carried out. First, get a test strip, then dip it in either saliva or urine. Then wait and check the colour it shows. A colour code comes with the test strip.

While the liver is the organ responsible for cleansing the body (including the blood), the kidney is the principal organ in charge of maintaining the alkaline pH level of the blood. The kidney ensures that the body is enabled to carry out its duties as the medium of both oxygen and other necessary nutrients.

The kidney does this by filtering excessive acidic components in the blood and removing them from the body via urine. And then, the body automatically balances the body’s pH level using its alkaline reserve.

However, when we regularly ingest acidic foods, which eventually deposits acid in our system, we are overworking our kidney by tasking it with processing and excretion of excess acids. After a while, our kidney gets worked up, and it can no longer keep up with the level of excess acid, which will lead to acid accumulation in the tissues and subsequent development of diseases and deterioration in our health.

This is because it hampers the body from being able to detoxify and repair itself and will make the body prone to diseases. Studies have shown that an 'acidic inner terrain' (that is a concentrated acidic environment, which could also be referred to as “acidosis”) could result in muscle degradation, kidney stones, reduced bone density, diabetes, arthritis, cancer, etc. Below is a list of some other signs of acidosis:

Low energy which will lead to weakness

Chronic fatigue

Shortage of breath

Digestive disorder

Acne and headache

Osteoporosis

Weak immune system

Candida and other infections

Allergies

Heart disorder

Slow recovery time especially after exercise

Brittle hair and nails, etc.

We have established the fact that it is challenging for the body to continually cleanse and neutralize acids before they accumulate and turn poisonous to the cell by altering the entire environment in the body. And our society has contributed a great deal to the high acidic level through toxins from the foods we eat, the water we drink, tobacco, medications, etc.

But this increase in the acidic level of the body is not only a result of our intake but also a result of our body carrying out its day to day functions. The body creates acids through the processes of respiration, muscles and digestion (although from some specific kinds of food). Stress, lack of sleep and an environment that is polluted could also create acids in the body. 

The body is not directly affected by acidic content of food, but through accumulation of chemical waste deposits from food overtime. The consumption of refined and processed foods and all animal products accelerate the process of accumulation. The reason is that these foods, when added to our diet, can produce per day up to 100mEq of acid. This quantity is almost twice the amount our body can handle usually.

So, although our body can regulate its acidic level, our diet would either hinder or help the process. Hence the need to support our system to maintain the alkalinity of the body for proper functioning and to stay healthy by adding alkaline food to our diet. When the body is acidic, the body would need the ingestion of vital minerals that enable it to neutralize the acid in the body. Some plant-based diets contain alkaline while animal products (meat, egg, etc.), as well as refined foods, are acidic.

The cells in the body require an alkaline environment in other to function maximally, defend the body against pathogenic microbes and stop and repair cellular damages. The goal of eating an alkaline diet is to control our body’s pH via our food. Because as we said earlier, the food we eat after metabolism leaves behind waste which could either be alkaline or acidic. So, alkaline diets, including Dr. Sebi’s is concerned with controlling the pH of metabolic waste from the food we eat through a strict healthy plant-based diet guide.

An alkaline diet which could also be referred to as an alkaline acid diet, alkaline ash diet or acid-alkaline diet sprang up from a hypothesis related to osteoporosis research which came to be known as the acid ash hypothesis. Claude Bernard, a French biologist, developed this hypothesis. He experimented and discovered that when he changed a rabbit's diet from a carnivore diet (i.e. meat) to an herbivore diet (i.e. plant), the pH of its urine became more alkaline compared to its high acidic level when the rabbit was on the former diet.

He then went further to observe the acidic level and chemical properties of the leftover foods which was combusted in a calorimeter for bombs also referred to as “ash.” He came up with the conclusion that when foods are metabolized, it will leave behind remains in the body which is similar to alkaline ash or acid ash just as those combusted in the bomb calorimeter.

This hypothesis became refined in the 20th century by a nutritionist, including our own Dr. Sebi. These nutritionists divided particles in food into two parts; anions (which are known as negative charged) and cations (known as positive charge). Food containing anion particles such as phosphate, sulfate or chloride form acid when broken down. While foods containing cation particles such as calcium, potassium or potassium form alkaline after the metabolic reaction.  This diet is also known as alkaline electric diet.

How to Start Dr. Sebi Diet?

Dr. Sebi’s alkaline diet is centred on reducing the content of mucus and acid in the body, and it involves following a strict diet guide. This guide includes a list of foods that are either prohibited or permitted based on Dr. Sebi’s experience in plant and herbal research that spanned over 30 years. This list comprises of all non-hybrid plants that are alkaline producing and also some herbal supplements to energize the cells.

When following this diet plan, one would need to abstain from the ingestion of dairy products, meat, sugar, and all refined food. This would undoubtedly help you maintain your weight. With the consultation of a doctor, this diet could be combined with fasting to attain the desired result.

The initial stage of this diet is the most challenging because your body will crave sugar. But as you go on in the diet plan, it gets better. Also, following this guide would mean you would have to start making most of your meals at home because most restaurants do not have a menu suitable for this healthy lifestyle.

Dr. Sebi divided food into six categories which are; raw, live, hybrid, dead, genetically modified (GMO) and drugs. Food that fall under the last four categories must be avoided at all cost; these include a plant that has been genetically modified and hybrid plants. Food that falls under these categories to be avoided includes; poultry, meat (although these fall under live and raw categories, they should be avoided), seafood, sugar, alcohol, iodized salt and many more. He encourages people to stick to food that falls under the raw and live categories; however, they must be plant-based. These foods include naturally ripe fruits, raw nuts, grains, non-starchy vegetables, rye, quinoa, leafy greens, and so many others. These foods are also referred to as electric foods.

There must be strict adherence to this diet plan by strictly following the rules below:

Only permitted foods found in Dr. Sebi’s diet or nutritional guide must be consumed.

A gallon (i.e. 3.8 ltr.) of natural spring water should be taken daily.

 All Dr. Sebi’s herbal supplements should not be used less than an hour before any medication.

All hybrids foods and animal products are not permitted.

Alcohol must be avoided.

Wheat is not allowed and only naturally grown seeds which are listed in the guide should be taken.

Avoid the use of microwave because it kills your food.

All seedless fruits are not permitted and you must abstain from canned food.

For anyone who wants to follow this electric diet plan, it is compulsory to purchase Dr. Sebi’s herbal cell supplements to get the full promised results of the diet. Products can be purchased via Dr. Sebi’s official website. You could either buy the advance package (containing ten products) which cost 750 dollars or the all-inclusive package (containing 20 products) and it cost 1,500 dollars. The inclusive package is recommended for fast cleansing and restoration of cells. It also has options based on the gender of the user.

However, if you are not able to afford any of the packages, you could buy single products. Products that have high protein constituents should be purchased. This is because the body cannot do without protein and Dr. Sebi’s diet forbade the consumption of foods containing high amounts of protein such as beans, soy products, meat, lentils, etc.

Apart from this, there is no specific recommendation of products; you could buy products containing the nutrients which you require per time and your needs. For example, Bio Ferro, which works as a blood cleanser, helps the liver function effectively, enhances immunity, work to facilitate weight loss and also generally aids in the health of the body.

CHAPTER 4

Benefits of Dr. Sebi Diet

So, what is the usefulness of this diet? And why is Dr. Sebi’s diet good for you?

Dr. Sebi’s diet encourages people to eat more fruits and vegetables and fewer processed meats and high-fat dairy products. Following this diet helps improve the health in people suffering from kidney disease. As would be explained below, some of the benefits of alkaline diet include; helping to stop signs of ageing, gradual loss of organs and cellular functions, slowing down the degeneration of bone mass and tissues which the availability of too much of acid in the body can rob us of important mineral nutrients which alkaline diet supplies.

Protects Muscle Mass and Bone Density

Researchers are of the view that when someone consumes more alkalizing fruits and vegetables, that individual is bound to be protected from Sarcopenia (decreased bone strength and muscle wasting due to ageing) and as such the intake of minerals which alkaline diet supplies plays a pivotal role in the development and maintenance of the structure of the bone.

By balancing the ratio of the important minerals like calcium, magnesium and phosphate needed for maintaining lean muscle mass and building bones, an alkaline diet supports bone health. Also, there is improved production of growth hormones and vitamin D absorption through the alkaline diet, which helps protect bones and reduce other chronic health challenges.

Increased Muscle Mass

With having more muscle mass, one accomplishes many things even though that is far from your goal. A high level of muscle mass helps to increase your metabolic rate and burn away more fat. Dr. Sebi’s diet has been known to preserve and increase your muscle mass.

There exists a study between two groups of men. One group followed a healthy eating pattern while the other operated on the 80/20 principle. Both groups operated on the same diet and the same workout. Our interest is the group that operated the 80/20 rule.

In the course of eight weeks, both groups gained an equal amount of muscle mass, only that the group that operated the alkaline diet lost more fat. It was evident that not only does one gain muscle mass operating on the alkaline diet, one tends to lose fat simultaneously also. The reason behind this is the increased growth hormone gained as a reason of alkalizing. With this hormone, there is a lot less of muscle breakdown and more fat burnt, which is why this diet is vital for preserving and building muscle mass.

Increase Energy Levels

Feeling tired and lethargic because of a sugar crash causes the insulin level to spike up, which brings down your energy level, and sends a signal to your brain, telling it to relax. With an Alkaline diet, you have more energy because there’s no sign of insulin spikes throughout the day.

Since your body is in a normal starvation mode, you experience more energy because your body goes into a fight or flight response. This is when your body produces adrenaline throughout the day, giving you the needed energy to get along because your body feels it has to go on a hunting mission to get food. Note here that you will feel less energized at the beginning of your diet journey because it is still in the process of adjusting to these new changes. After the initial week or two, you will start noticing more energy to do more work, which in turn makes you feel a lot better.

Reduce Risk of Stroke and Hypertension

The increase in the production of growth hormone and the decrease of inflammation is one of the anti-ageing effects derives from the consumption of Dr. Sebi’s alkaline diet, which has led to protection against common health problems like hypertension, stroke, high cholesterol, kidney stones and improved cardiovascular health. Research finds that growth hormone supports body composition and lowers the risk factors of a heart disease which is the leading cause of death in the U.S.

An estimated 610,000 Americans die from it every year. Other contributing factors are an unhealthy lifestyle which includes poor nutrition and low activity level. The risk of heart disease is being reduced when you abstain from red meat and consume a diet rich in low-fat dairy, seeds, fruits and vegetables. A healthy body weight derives from the consumption of an alkaline diet produces fewer calories, which can also assist your heart.

Lowers Chronic Pain and Inflammation

Between the alkaline diet and reduced levels of chronic pain, we see a connection with the aid of studies carried out. It is found that chronic back pain, muscle spasms, headaches, inflammation, joint pain, and menstrual symptoms are the by-product of chronic acidosis. In Germany, a study conducted by the Society for Minerals and Trace Elements found out that 76 of our 82 patients with chronic back pain exposed to a daily dosage of alkaline supplement for four weeks reported a major decrease in pain as measured by the “Arhus rating scale for people with low back pain.”

Body Detox and Cell Cleaning

When it comes to living a long and healthy life, detoxing the body is very important. Many methods exist out there through which people detox their body, and some of these methods don’t usually work. It has been proven time and time again how the Alkaline diet helps detox the human body both on a cellular and digestive level, which makes it a superior cleaning agent when it comes to the body.

On a Cellular level, Alkaline diet detoxifies the body by removing the bad cells and replacing them with healthier and stronger cell in a process called Autophagy. With this process comes benefits like; stronger immune system, prevention of diseases, and insulin sensitivity, and reduction in the risk of cancer, which is great news.

Considering how the body can be detoxified with the help of the Alkaline diet from a digestive level, one can see that there is a connection between the stomach and the brain. This is according to studies carried out, which implies that if the digestive system is not functioning at its best, the brain won’t either, and is the reason people call the human gut a second brain.

It is important for the gut to be clean and working properly, and the Alkaline diet helps accomplish this feat by cleaning debris and junk out of the intestines. Also, giving the digestive system a break by abstaining from food for a period of time is one way of cleaning the gut because eating all the time doesn’t give the body a chance to clean itself.

Your body will slowly begin to rid itself of all toxins present in your gut once you begin fasting. This process helps you think better and digest your food a lot better. The risk of disease is reduced and it will help you tremendously with longevity by detoxifying your body with an Alkaline diet.

Prevents Magnesium Deficiency and Boosts Vitamin Absorption

Magnesium deficiency has led to people suffering from heart complications, headaches, sleep troubles, anxiety, and muscle pain. The availabile magnesium is needed for the activation of vitamin D, which is principal for overall immune and endocrine functioning. Also, an increase in magnesium is needed for the function of hundreds of bodily processes and enzyme systems.

Helps improve Immune Function and Cancer Protection

The whole body suffers when cells lack enough minerals to properly oxygenate the body fully or be able to dispose of waste. There is an accumulation of pathogens and toxins in our body, and this weakens our immune system when the absorption of vitamin is compromised by mineral loss and can encourage growth of cancerous cells.

Whether Dr. Sebi’s diet can prevent cancer or support chemotherapy is still controversial and unproven, the British Journal of Radiology as per a published research found evidence that cancerous cell death was more likely to occur in the alkaline body as opposed to just an acidic body.

Due to an alteration in electric charges and the release of basic protein components, the prevention of cancer is believed to be associated with an alkaline shift in pH.  The alkaline diet has been shown to be more beneficial for some chemotherapeutic agents requiring a higher pH to work appropriately, and the risk of cancer and inflammation is decreased with the help of alkalinity.

Significant evidence from a study carried out in 2010 suggests that eating more vegetables, fruits, and reducing meat consumption might prevent cancer. Diets rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains is recommended by The American Cancer Society (ACS) as it is against consuming processed foods, soft drinks, and many high-fat foods.

Improved Insulin Sensitivity

It is no secret that an Alkaline diet helps with insulin sensitivity. But how does this insulin work in the body?

The insulin level in your body spikes up every time you eat a meal and is used to shuttle food either to your fat stores or to muscle. Too much glycogen in your bloodstream is transferred by your body to your fat store as energy, but when you are insulin sensitive, your muscle store will receive the glycogen sent by your body and uses it for energy. You are more likely to use up all the glycogen from your food faster when you are insulin sensitive without requiring your glycogen to be converted to fats.

Using up all the glycogen stores, and making your body use up fat stores is the way the Alkaline diet helps with curing insulin resistance. Eating food again would only cause the body to use up all the glycogen and shuttle it straight to the muscle mass to be used for energy instead of having it stored as fat.

This is how you become more insulin sensitive through the Alkaline diet. Some of the benefits of being more insulin sensitive include; more mental energy and less mental fog, there is less fat being stored in the body, which is ideal for looking to lose fat or even gain muscle since most of the energy will be sent to the muscle stores. Insulin sensitivity also helps to rid the body of type 2 diabetes. These benefits lead to overall healthy life.

Healthy Weight is Maintained

Alkaline forming foods are also anti-inflammatory food. Eating more of these foods and limiting the intake of acid-forming foods makes it easier to lose weight due to the diet’s ability to decrease leptin levels by causing the body to achieve normal leptin levels and inflammation, which in turn affects your hunger and fat-burning abilities.

You feel really satisfied eating the amount of calories needed by the body because the alkaline diet tends to be low in calories. In as much as the alkaline diet’s focus is not on fat loss, following the meal plan of the Alkaline diet can certainly help protect against obesity. Going for a keto alkaline diet, which is low in carbs, is one of the best approaches to try out if weight loss is your ultimate goal.

Prevent Diseases

For overall health and well-being, we need to figure out how the risk of diseases can be reduced, and that is where the Alkaline diet comes in.

One of the many disorders Dr. Sebi’s diet can help get rid of would be Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. It is proven that the diet can help lower the risk of neurologic diseases and boost brain health. Dr. Sebi’s diet can help reduce the risk of depression according to some studies carried out, and even though most persons might not consider this a condition, but its effect cannot be overstated.

According to a 2010 study carried out on overweight women, the diet has been found to reduce cholesterol levels (LDL) and help improve health complications like high blood pressure.

For those individuals suffering from diabetes, the Alkaline diet helps with reducing type 2 diabetes. Although not advisable, you can try this if you have type 2 diabetes, as a study done on men shows how the Alkaline diet helped them stop insulin treatment. This simply goes to show you how powerful the diet is with many detailed studies to back its role in lowering the risk of diabetes and helping people get cured from many diseases.

Those suffering from an illness or other problem; without the use of modern medicine can have their immune system boosted through the Alkaline diet, which helps thm to avoid small issues like the common flu. With these and many more rejuvenating properties of the Alkaline diet, one should keep in mind the positives before considering the negatives.

Improve Kidney Health

The typical diet in the United States, according to the study carried out in 2017 contains more acid, and this can be risky for the kidney. The course of kidney disease may be slow for those with it, and its symptoms improve when a lower acid diet is consumed. A person suffering from kidney disease has a harder time removing acid from the blood.

Also, there is no need to follow a specific alkaline diet for those suffering from chronic kidney disease, simply abstain from acidic, rich diet and heavy alkaline food. This is the way the kidney regulates the blood pH level. The concentration of organic salt from the consumption of vegetables and fruits helps reduce the body’s acid loads and is a great method of balancing out your pH level.

Consuming an alkaline diet that is rich in high amounts of vegetables and fruits is also beneficiary during the early stages of kidney disease since the body is not yet sensitive to Potassium. A diet with extra fruits and vegetables has a great benefit on the kidney, as it helps the organs improve their efficiency during illness, this is according to a recent study.

Increased Production of Neurotrophic Growth Factor

The alkaline diet has a great effect on the brain which happens through the help of BDNF- a brain-derived neurotrophic growth factor that helps promote neuroplasticity, which is the brain’s ability to shapeshift and migrate, and also helps the brain to produce new brain cells. Older brain cells can be preserved while new ones are produced when there is an ample supply of BDNF, which means the brain will keep growing because of the new cells that are coming and remain healthy.

According to studies, more specifically when it has to do with synapses (where the neurotransmitter travel from cell to cell), an Alkaline diet helps improve brain-derived neurotrophic growth factor. Diet following the 80/20 rule has shown to increase the levels of brain-derived neurotrophic growth factor, by around 50-400% according to the study conducted.

We now understand the importance of diet to BDNF as far as the synapses are concerned. The synaptic plasticity through the diet is improved greatly, which in turn helps to modulate our mood better. That is, the strengthening or weakening of the synapse causes you to be in a moment of happiness or fright by adjusting your mood accordingly.

What this process does for you according to common knowledge is to help you change your mood and be reactive at the moment. You can be more focused when you want to be because you are in charge of your mood. You will be able to adapt easily in the moment. Your BDNF expression increases when your brain-derived neurotrophic growth factor increases, which causes the production and protection of more brain cells giving your mind all the tools it needs to preserve and recycle out old cells by affecting cells at a genetic level (i.e. your DNA).

The production of growth hormone and serotonin is another thing it helps the body with. In both men and women, a higher amount of growth hormone is considered a plus because it will help the brain rejuvenate a lot faster, and an upward of 4,000% increase in growth hormone levels were found according to a study done. When it comes to weight loss and many other things, growth hormones are hugely responsible for this.

Preventing Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a disease that affects men and women, especially older people. Women who are past menopause are at the highest risk. Osteoporosis is a major risk factor for bone fractures and the reason behind broken bones in older people. This condition is yet another cause of Calcium deficiency.

When engaging in the Dr. Sebi’ diet, the minerals found in the diet has a similar effect on osteoporosis as they do back pain. Though there is no scientific evidence to support this claim, believers of the alkaline diet say that it reduces the amount of calcium lost in urine, which in turn lowers the risk of osteoporosis.

The intake of fruits and vegetables, a lot of it has a unique way of improving bone health, and alkaline diets which are low in protein are rich in these foods.

Improve Growth hormone levels

Improved growth hormone levels promote better brain functioning, particularly memory and cognition, as well as improved better heart health and even overall quality of life according to some evidence. Although there is no concrete evidence linking an alkaline diet to increases in growth hormone level, correcting a highly acidic environment with specific supplements like bicarbonate can promote alkalinity according to some studies.

It Fights Fatigue

Feeling tired lately could be as a result of too much acidic food in your body. If all you are eating is an acidic food, too much of it can decrease your oxygen supply, and your body would no longer hold on to nutrients as easily even though you are getting the proper amount of rest because the potential of hydrogen in your body is unbalanced.

Healthy green recommended food such as cucumber, avocado, spinach, broccoli consumed regularly can alkalize your tissue, blood and the structuring of stem cells. Also, drinking alkaline water can help boost the potential of hydrogen in your body due to the high concentration of minerals in it having a pH of 8.5.

Improving the quality of your Teeth

Dreaded tooth erosion is due to the terrible impact of an acidic diet on one’s teeth by burning away the protective enamel layer, leaving the teeth defenseless against harmful acidic chemicals due to the already low pH value of the teeth. Fruits and vegetables help slow down the erosion process. 

Boost Immune System

You are less sick and more immune to disease with a healthy immune system. According to a study done, the Alkaline diet has shown to boost the immune system by considering an individual diet, more specifically, how the stem cells rejuvenate. The white blood cells according to the conclusion of the study were depleted by the Alkaline diet, leading to the production of less white cells and more stem cells, thus making the body produce better and more efficient cells.

You will experience an overall quick recovery with the production of new cells and the releasing of your old white blood cells.

From the above-mentioned study, a reduced amount of Protein Kinase A (PKA) was found, which helps in cell regeneration, allowing them to create new cells.

For someone looking to boost their immune system, the Alkaline diet has shown to reduce the level of insulin, which helps the immune system.

A high amount of insulin, according to a study done, was found to prevent T cells responsible for suppressing inflammation and fighting off illness from effectively doing their job. The immune system will drop down when the insulin level in your body is high because T cells are no longer performing at their peak.

Since there is no requirement for insulin spikes when you are on a diet, T cells function at a higher level, effectively boosting our immune system. Around 70% of energy and blood goes to the stomach to digest the wholesome meal you have consumed, giving your body a chance to recover since you are on a diet.

Both our mental health and immune system cannot do without the role digestion plays. Our colon makes up about 60% of our immune system, which means that when on a diet, the whole body is recovering with a major boost to the immune system.

Increased Longevity

Numerous studies exist that shows the importance of an alkaline diet in the area of boosting longevity. An alkaline diet helps with Autophagy, which is a process of cell rejuvenation by getting rid of the old and weak cells and replacing them with newer and stronger ones.  This, in turn, increases the overall well-being and longevity of an individual.

In as much as there is no study done on humans to attest to this claim, studies show that by reducing the calories in animals by 30% to 40%, their lifespan increases and that monkeys that ate less food but more on the Alkaline side lived longer.

However, this 25-year-old long research was later debunked by another study claiming that it wasn’t the case.

It has been suggested that people who ate less had less risk of disease, which could lead to longevity even though there is no actual study backing these claims up.

Reduce Stress

Whenever there is inflammation, there is bound to be stress since both go hand in hand. A high inflammation level gives rise to a high-stress level and vice-versa. Alkaline helps you get rid of stress by improving your brain function. A mind functioning at its peak will reduce your stress level. Whether you are facing pressure or not, the Alkaline diet help with a better functioning brain that gets rid of any mental stress you might face.

See a physician if you are experiencing more stress than you can bear, as it can be something beyond what the Alkaline diet can fix.

CHAPTER 5

Downsides to Dr. Sebi’s Diet

Although Dr. Sebi’s diet promises excellent results, however, there are some downsides to following the diet. Here are some of these disadvantages:

Lack of Essential Nutrients

Foods listed in Dr. Sebi’s diet guide are excellent sources of vital nutrients, which are carefully selected to help the body stay healthy. However, People following this strict alkaline diet may be at risk of shortage of some essential nutrients needed by the human body to function maximally. Although, this diet contains a list of supplements containing proprietary ingredients not listed in the products. This is a call for concern because one cannot determine what nutrients and in what quantity one should take them. This invariably makes it impossible to know if you are meeting the daily requirements of specific nutrients. And some of these nutrients include;

Protein Deficiency – This is a critical nutrient needed in the body. It is essential for muscle growth, the health of the brain, production of hormones, formation of bones, secretion of enzymes, supports DNA, etc. According to the standard requirements for the body to function and develop healthily, people above 19 years of age either male or female needs to ingest daily, 56 grams and 46 grams, respectively.

And although some of the foods listed in this nutritional guide contain protein, they are not significant sources of this all-important nutrient. Some of these Dr. Sebi’s approve foods containing protein include; hemp seeds which contain 31.7 grams of protein per 100 grams. One hundred grams of walnut would give you 16.8 grams of protein, which is similar to 100 grams of roasted chicken breast. So, for one to be able to meet up with the protein requirements of the body, it is advisable to consume a wide variety of foods rich in amino acids (proteins building blocks). But this is not possible because most of the other sources (excellent) of protein are in Dr. Sebi’s forbidden food list. This include; meat, lentils, beans and soy.

To meet up with the body’s protein requirements daily, you would have to consume a particular, tiring, nearly impossible portions of food when following Dr. Sebi’s diet. This will still leave the question of how much quantity and is it enough to meet the nutrient requirements every day.

Vitamin B-12 Deficiency – This may happen when a person does not consume enough of this vitamin, which could be another side effect of following Dr. Sebi’s diet guide. This vitamin is part of the essential nutrients needed by the body. It functions to maintain the health of the nerves and also the blood cells. It is also critical to the formation of DNA. One of the most excellent sources of vitamin B-12 is animal products which are prohibited by Dr. Sebi’s diet.

The following symptoms are the result of vitamin B-12 deficiency; a worst case scenario of possible pernicious anaemia, a condition that affects the body by hindering its ability to produce healthy and sufficient red blood cells. Other symptoms are depression, chronic tiredness and tingling of the feet and hands. Although Dr. Sebi’s herbal supplement promises to make up for the missing or inadequate nutrients in the food, because there is no quantitative measure listed on the supplement, one cannot know if one is consuming enough of the required nutrients.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids Deficiency – This nutrient is an essential part of the cell membrane. And it supports the health of the heart, brain and eyes. It is also a source of energy required by the body for carrying out daily activities, as well as boosting the body's immune system. Although food like walnuts and hemp seeds found in Dr. Sebi’s permitted list are plant sources of omega-3 acids, however, they are not sufficient.

According to researches, omega-3 acids are easily absorbed by the body from animal products which are excellent sources of the nutrient.  In order to ensure one is taking a sufficient quantity of omega-3 acids when following Dr. Sebi’s diet or any vegan diet for that matter, it is advisable to take an omega-3 supplement daily. This will now lead us to the secondary side effect of following Dr. Sebi’s diet.

Insufficient Calories and Negative Eating Habits

Following this diet plan could prove self-defeating because it could lead to negative or poor eating habits. This is as a result of insufficient calories associated with the diet. The diet encourages the use of supplements to balance the missing or inadequate nutrients in the plant-based diet. And supplements do not provide the body with calories. This will lead to under-eating, which could result in several mental, emotional and physical health issues.

The body needs at least 1,000 calories to function basically, and this is known as the resting metabolic rate. But when the body engages in physical activities, the calories needed by the body could increase to about 2,000. So, consuming less would lead to slow metabolism, which will eventually lead to low energy. It could also lead to hair loss, constant hunger (which will lead to an unhealthy eating habit), infertility, sleep disorder, irritability, always feeling cold, constipation and anxiety.

Very Restrictive

Dr. Sebi’s nutritional guide is highly restrictive as it forbids so much more food than it permits. It prohibits the consumption of all animal products and some plants as we have seen earlier. It is so restrictive that it even forbids the eating of all seedless fruits and even some fruits with seeds (for example cherries).

Lack of Scientific Prove

This is the most important concern with following Dr. Sebi’s diet. There is no scientific backing to all the promises of the diet plan. Dr. Sebi claims to change the body's pH (most importantly, the blood pH) through the foods we eat. However, some researches show that while the food we eat could slightly change the pH of our urine temporarily, it cannot change the pH of the blood and that of the stomach (this is because it needs to maintain a certain level of acidity to carry out digestion). This is one of the reasons some people believe  Dr. Sebi to either be fraud or foolish.

CHAPTER 6

How to Detox Naturally Using Dr. Sebi’s Method

Detox for Cancer Prevention and Cure

To have our cells and tissues regenerated, cleaned and strengthened, detoxification is the process one must undergo to make this happens, and this is made possible by alkalizing oneself through a raw food diet. Acids, and blockages that cause inflammation and block nutrition to our body cells are being removed through this process. Cells are allowed to gain nutritional energy and properly discard waste through cellular respiration due to detoxification, thereby causing the body to rebuild itself.

According to studies conducted, it has been proven that a diet that contains animal protein which is acidic (inflammatory, congestive and putrefactive) causes cancer. The mucus causes the congestive aspect formed from its putrefactive and abrasive aspects. Vaccinations, toxic chemicals and hormones fed to these animals or injected into them create tissue toxicity within the body which in turn causes your immune system to be affected by inflammation.

Also, a biochemical imbalance within the body is caused by consuming meat. You begin to experience weakness and dehydration of the body because of the high levels of iron and phosphorus, which eliminates other useful minerals such as magnesium, calcium and other vital electrolytes needed by the body, thereby making it difficult to trace the presence of cancerous cells that originate from these sources.

Making use of chemotherapy or burning it with radiation doesn’t work, rather it aggravates the issue by causing the cancerous infection to move to areas whose cells have been weakened or destroyed by these therapies. The oxygen-carrying and utilization factors of a cell are destroyed by radiation. Glucose can still enter into the cell through the cell membrane, causing fermentation and autointoxication within that cell.

The underlining factor here is that over-acidity or inflammation and the build-up of cellular toxicity causes cancer, leading to the loss of cellular energy and function and invariably, the systematic loss of energy and health. The result of this is the overworking of our immune system. The Thymus gland (production site of T-cells) and the bone marrow (production site of B-cell) becomes hypoactive, since it is the tissue responsible for the production of immune cells in a cancer patient.

A healthy Lymph system is Needed.

Most of the time, 90% of all disease processes begins in your lymphatic system, which is the “sewer system of the body,” and a proper understanding of it is a plus. When your system cannot eliminate waste properly because of its congested nature, it then stores the entire waste product in the sewer system, thereby causing a lack of improper elimination of metabolic or cellular wastes, as well as ingested metals and toxic chemicals.  Cellular death is bound to occur if these toxins are not eliminated.

First, clean out your lymphatic system so that your immune system can be enhanced for better functionality since the lymph system is a vital part of the immune system. The lymphatic system’s channels of secretion are your skin, kidney, and colon; this is worth remembering. You don’t remove a septic system that is full or obstructed; you simply clean it out.

Many people don’t sweat properly; intestinal bowels walls are impacted; many have lost the proper filtration of their kidney; all these are simply pointers that the channel of secretion is closed because of its inability to allow waste to be properly eliminated. Since these wastes couldn’t get out, they are backed up to the lymphatic system, causing its nodes to enlarge, thus producing all manners of lymphomas, throat cancer- especially having the tonsils removed, non-estrogen types of breast cancer, colon, kidney, liver and so many problems since this process of always backing up of the waste to the lymph system has been going on for years.

Your cells will begin to strengthen, and the sludge of toxins that kills your cells will be gone by alkalizing and cleansing your fluids and tissues. This is the reason detoxification is important in the elimination of cancer. You will begin to experience vitality, energy and joy.

There really is no better way to rebuild and clean your body than through detoxification and regeneration of its cells through Dr. Sebi’s diet and herbs. There is so much to be accomplished for your life and health if you can just open your heart and take responsibility for your health.

NOTE: Do not have your lymph nodes removed and never compromise your immune system.

Neurological Disorder and Injuries

The highest centres in the body are Neurons, and they require the highest energy foods-fruits, acting as an alkaline soil in order to regenerate. Fructose lends its energy effortlessly to your cells since it is a high energy simple sugar. For all neurological issues such as Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, asthma and even Bell's palsy, this process is valid.

There is an adrenal weakness as a precursor for every neurological weakness. It is very important for all neurological issues, including injuries that the adrenal glands be enhanced along with the rest of the endocrine gland system. This makes living on 100% raw food a top necessity.

Through Dr. Sebi’s diet and herbs, you can strengthen every cell in your body. To further strengthen the nerve centers, spinal column and brain tissue, herbal, brain and nerve formulas of high quality are recommended. Since a great number of our body’s neurotransmitters and steroids are created at the adrenal glands, enhancing it is also important.

Considering the thyroid/parathyroid with respect to neurological disorder and injuries. For proper utilization, the parathyroid is needed. Your success is almost guaranteed with Dr. Sebi’s diet and good calcium utilization.

With the elimination of over-acidity, pain, cellulitis, deterioration of tissue, obesity and urinary tract infections, the quality of life of those suffering from nerve damage has been improved greatly or they may experience total recovery at the very best.  Don’t lose hope that the body cannot regenerate itself again because it can.

The modern food we consume has so much toxin and acid in it and at such makes it difficult for the body to regenerate, due to the high level of mucus, parasite, toxic chemicals, inflammation and unnecessary hormones. Become alive again by avoiding cooked mucus-forming dairy foods, dead animal flesh, refined sugars, acidic fatty grains whose sole purpose is not to build, but to destroy the body. It is in abstaining from these foods that you begin to experience the miracle of regeneration again.

CHAPTER 7

Approved Food List

Dr. Sebi divides food into six categories which include; Raw food, Live food, Dead food, Hybrid food, Genetically enhanced food and Drugs. According to Dr. Sebi, Live and Raw food are considered to be “electric foods” for the cells since they help heal the body from the negative effects of acidic food. He is also of the opinion that the remaining classes of food such as drugs, hybrid, dead and genetically enhanced food should be avoided.

CHAPTER 9

Conclusion

For quite some number of years, Dr. Sebi’s diet has grown in popularity among the younger generation. This new trend is rising due to the poor healthy lifestyle of the current generation in terms of what they consume. So many fast foods are available to them, foods that contain harmful minerals that can cause a long-term problem like cancer. So, it is not a surprise that people are becoming more interested in natural means of flushing their system. Thus, the demand for Dr. Sebi’s Alkaline Diet.

The 3-step system to naturally detox your body;

Step 1

This alkaline diet is a principle which is not fully backed by science, but it is believed that an alkaline method is a safe zone against pathogens. Upon this basis, different plant-based diets have been made to reduce the level of acidity in the body. Aside from this common-sense principle, it is a general knowledge that the foods outside Dr. Sebi’s lists have a long term effect on the body; this aspect has been backed by science. The alkaline diet is mostly vegan and has its challenges.

Step 2

Dr. Sebi’s alkaline diet carries a strict food list, which should be adhered to for maximum result to be attained. Foods like dairy products, canned foods, seedless fruits, processed, and synthesized foods are prohibited. Though these foods are readily available to us, it is not healthy for consumption regularly. Alkaline diets propose more natural foods with lesser acidic content such as vegetables, fruits with seeds, and some selected grains, oils, teas, and spices, etc.

Step 3

All these diets have been carefully analyzed, and a weekly meal plan has been drawn to guide you. The meal was separated into a 3 meal plan of breakfast, lunch and dinner, where the breakfast are lighter foods, but the lunch and dinner are heavier depending on your preference.

Following this guide guarantees you a stronger and healthier system. Even if you skip a day, you can always make up for it because the goal is to get your system fully functional. These meals are not just tasty meals, but can help revitalize the organs in your body, especially the kidney.

BOOK 2 - DOCTOR SEBI RECIPE BOOK

Over 100 Alkaline Recipes with Dr. Sebi Approved Ingredients to Naturally Cleanse Your Body, Lose Weight and Detox the Liver

BELINDA GOLEMAN

Chapter 1

Introduction

Dr. Sebi was of the opinion that the factors behind diseases were mucus and acidity. Therefore, detoxifying the body could be achieved through the consumption of certain kinds of food. Furthermore, the doctor was convinced modern medicine was not effective in the treating of diseases. He therefore, created a diet that would leave the body in an alkaline state since according to his beliefs, in acidity lay the foundation for the occurrence of many diseases and infections.

Dr. Sebi’s alkaline diet lists various kinds of foods to cover breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert and more.

Chapter 2

Who Is Dr. Sebi

Dr. Sebi is a specialist in medical diagnoses, use of herbs, biochemistry, and a natural scientist; with in-depth knowledge gathered over a period of 30 years concerning herbs in South America, as well as North and Central America, Africa and the Caribbean; he was able to develop a special method of healing for various ailments with the use of herbs.

The doctor was originally named, Alfredo Darrington Bowman in the village of Ilanga in the Spanish area of Honduras where he was born on the 26th of November, 1933. He basically taught himself everything he knew. Through close observation of his grandmother, he picked up the proper etiquette and morals necessary to approach day-to-day life, as well as what needed to be done to get by. It was the constant observation of his grandmother, his childhood activities, and the direction and counselling he got from his grandmother which shaped his being and his entire outlook on life.

When he arrived in the United States of America, Alfredo Bowman was diagnosed and found to be asthmatic, diabetic, obese and impotent. He went through a lot of treatment procedures in both modern medicine and traditional western medicine, but all of these forms of treatment proved to be unsuccessful. The only hope he had left was to visit a herbal specialist in Mexico and he did.

Fortunately, his journey was not a waste as the reason behind it, which was; treatment for his illnesses, was accomplished. Due to the astonishing recovery to proper good health, he was inspired to create his natural vegetation cell food compounds; whose job was to cleanse as well as revitalize the cells in the human body. And to this end, the doctor has committed more than 30 years of his life towards the development of his special healing procedures, which arrived at due to the many years he spent on diverse experimentations which ended up being the backing for his know-how.

Dr. Sebi started sharing his new-found knowledge with the world due to the inspiration he got from his knowledge and his own experience of herbal healing, and that was how Dr. Sebi’s Cell Food was born.

Chapter 3

Dr. Sebi’s Food Nutrition Philosophy

Dr. Sebi’s diet has as its core in maintaining and improving health or wellness (which earned him the alias the 'wellness guru') by returning the body to its original alkaline state. Western medical research holds the view that diseases in the host result from a bacterium, fungal or virus infection. And that in order to treat these diseases, you first must attack their causes, and then employ carcinogenic chemicals to treat it.

However, this approach for over 400 years has not been successful, as it has not provided to be a sustainable cure. In contrast to the Western medical procedure, the wellness guru believes illness and disease are a result of and can only survive in mucus and an acidic environment (that is, a compromise in the mucous membrane).

For example, excess mucous in the lungs would lead to the disease known as pneumonia, in the bronchial tube it leads to bronchitis, etc. So, to use inorganic chemicals to treat diseases is ineffective and self-defeating because they contain an acid-base. Therefore, in treating these diseases, it is more beneficial to use natural herbal remedies since they alone can effectively detoxify the body by returning it to its original alkaline state.

Although, toxins which eventually build up the acidic level of the body are normally released in the body as a result of the body performing its day to day functions (these are known as endogenous). He also believes that among other things like our environment and lifestyle, the kinds of food we eat have a crucial role to play in either maintaining, increasing or even reducing the level of acid or alkaline in the body.

The reason for this is because they could end up producing exogenous toxic chemicals (toxins from the outside) in the body. Dr. Sebi divided these foods into six primary groups which are; raw, live, dead, drugs, genetically enhanced or modified and hybrids. 

Dr. Sebi went further to divide the particle contents of food into two categories; positive charged ions (for example, chloride, phosphate and sulfate) and negative charged anions (for example, potassium and calcium). When foods containing these particles are broken down or digested they form either alkaline or acids in the body, respectively.

However, ingesting and digesting of this food might not immediately result in any trouble. Still, over a period of continuous ingestion and digestion, it leads to accumulation of toxic acidic waste which will invariably lead to acidosis (a very high acidic environment). In this type of environment, health begins to deteriorate, and illness and disease would continue to thrive.

So, according to this nutrition philosophy, our body needs to always be in an alkaline environment for it to remain healthy and carry out its functions effectively. Dr. Sebi’s whole diet goal is to regulate the alkaline level of the body using the food we ingest as the principal tool and some herbal supplements which his company produce.

So, among Dr Sebi’s six food categories listed above, only raw and live foods are permitted to be taken. The reason for this is that he considers them to be "electric foods." He further restricted approved foods in these two categories to only plants which include vegetables, fruits with seed, grains, etc.

Dr. Sebi’s diet excludes the consumption of animals and all their associated products entirely. Hence, this diet could be referred to as 'an alkaline vegan diet'.

What is a vegan diet?

A vegan diet or veganism is a more complex and stricter form of a vegetarian diet. While a vegetarian diet prohibits the consumption of animals such as poultry, fish and meat, a vegan diet goes further to prohibit all animal products such as dairy, eggs, etc. A vegan diet is a strict all plant-based diet! There are several types of vegan diets which may include;

Raw food diet: These are foods based on raw vegetables, seeds, fruits or even botanical foods cooked below the temperature of 118 degrees Fahrenheit or 48 degrees Celsius.

All-food vegan diet: These are foods based on all foods that are plant-based such as grains, nuts, legumes, vegetables, fruits, etc.

Starch solution: Based on a plant food that is low in fat and rich in carbs. It has as its primary focus cooked starchy foods such as rice, potatoes and corn instead of fruits.

Raw till 4 p.m.: This diet is deficient in fat and prohibits the eating of raw food after 4 p.m. it, however, allows cooked plant-based food for dinner.

80/10/10: This diet, like the starch solution, also limits plant food that's rich in fat (for example, avocadoes, nuts, etc.). This vegan diet focuses mainly on soft vegetables and raw fruit, and it is also known as a fruitarian diet or raw food vegan diet.

Junk vegan diet: This vegan diet allows the consumption of cheese, fries, fake meats, vegan desserts and all other vegan food that are heavily processed. Beginners to the vegan diet would easily find this vegan diet appealing.

Thrive diet: This diet allows the consumptions of whole plant-based foods raw or at most a little heated up at a very low temperature. Like 80/10/10, it is also a raw-food vegan diet.

It would be correct to say that Dr. Sebi’s diet (that is, all foods on his recommended and approved food list) are foods in the vegan diet. But not all foods in the vegan diet are in Dr. Sebi’s approved food list. The reason for this is because while veganism focuses on all plant-based foods, Dr. Sebi’s diet focuses on specific plant-based foods that are alkaline.

Simply put, food that helps regulate the body's pH to its original alkaline state by producing positively charged ions. Some of these foods include; ripe fruits with seeds, quinoa, Kamut, non-starchy vegetables, rye, avocado, bananas, cauliflower, grapes, lemon, chamomile, ginger, walnut, etc. A detailed list would be given in the next chapter. However, there are some principles to adhere to when following an alkaline vegan diet we should consider.

Principles of eating a vegan alkaline diet

Ensure to ingest (eat) a lot of high quality fresh whole foods: when following an alkaline diet, the idea is to eat fresh whole foods grown without genetic modifiers (GMO) and in several varieties. So, sticking with an alkaline vegan diet would focus on eating a variety of plant-based foods which include fresh fruits; squeezed or whole, fresh vegetables; raw (whole or juiced) and lightly cooked, slightly toasted nuts and seeds. In these forms, we could ensure that the foods retain their active and essential ingredients. Note, for full health benefits, a wide variety of these foods is required. The reason for this is simple; repeated consumption of a particular food does not only limit your necessary nutritional types but also disrupts digestion. This would also ensure the digestive system is given the room to develop fully, by trying out different varieties of food and flavours.

Ensure you consume 60-80% alkaline foods: the 60-80% range would ensure you get the maximum benefits of an alkaline diet whether you choose to follow the diet in order to remain in good  health or to restore good health and then maintain it. In the first case, at least 60% of the foods containing a positive charge or also known as alkaline-forming foods should be eaten. While in the second instance, at least 80% of these foods should be eaten. So, it is recommended that you find alkaline-forming foods you enjoy in other to meet this requirement.

Avoid eating food that is not friendly with your immune system: for this reason, it is highly recommended that you carry out an LRA test so you know what you are allergic to. This would help you plan out an all plant alkaline diet that your immune system won't be reactive to.

Follow the recommended healthy nutrient ratio: this is a critical ratio that will ensure you get the necessary amounts of nutrients in the right proportions. This principle would balance your intake of plant-based carbohydrates, protein and fats. The recommended ratio is as follows below;

Complex carbohydrates should make up about 60 – 70% of your overall food intake. These carbs could either be gotten from grains, legumes; to include lentils and peas, vegetables, herbs or spices.

For protein, about 50 to 60g per day is recommended. And this should amount to about 15 – 20% of your calorie intake. These whole plant sources include seeds, mushrooms, sprouts, legumes, etc. However, during pregnancy, your protein requirement would increase.

The recommended ratio for healthy fats is about 15 -20% of your entire calorie intake. However, we must be particular about getting omega-3 essential fats for enhancing and improving our body's energy production abilities, tissue repair and also the production of proteins (for example, enzymes). Omega-3 crucial fats from plants include; fresh seed and nuts, organic cold-pressed oils (such as olive oil, walnut, avocado, safflower, peanut, sesame, grape seed, black current, etc.). Omega-3 supplements could be used, but you must ensure that the ingredients or components are from whole plants.

Plant based proteins from a single plant when compared to animal proteins, lack essential amino acids. So, to fully get the required amino acids, it is highly recommended that plant-based food be paired. The following lists are examples of food pairing that would complete your required protein;

Beans and brown rice or corn.

Grains with plant-based milk.

Grains with legumes, seeds or nuts.

Chopped walnuts and brown rice.

Consume food and drinks that are pro-biotic: These foods and drinks are known to promote life, which is the aim of an all alkaline vegan diet. These life-promoting foods could either be fermented or cultured. These foods and beverages are the major sources of probiotics which facilitate healthy gastrointestinal tracts.

These tracts in turn house numerous pro-biotic bacteria which play a very important role in balancing our immune system and body in general. When these bacteria are depleted, maybe as a result of illness, stress, poor dieting or even antibiotics, harmful pathogens are given room to develop freely. Examples of pro-biotic foods and drinks include; yogurt (nondairy), kombucha (a fermented tea), sauerkraut (a fermented cabbage), kefir (a fermented milk), olives, fermented soya beans (known as tempeh), pickles, freeze dried microalgae, etc.

Take a lot of fiber and water: There is a general belief that staying disease free requires the consumption of about 40 to 100 grams of fiber from whole plant food daily. This is very correct and for this reason, we recommend that you consume at least 40 grams of fiber per day. The reason for this is because fibers contain roughage, which aids the digestion and excretions processes.

It not only cuts down transit time (that is, the period between the time of ingestion of food and the waste products from the food are ejected from the body), it also adds to one’s stool to make it bulky. A balanced intake of fibers facilitates the regular, easy, and convenient elimination of toxic which will invariably prevent the body from accumulating and reabsorbing toxic waste. Note, 12 to 18 hours is the range of a healthy transit time.

While water is very important to a healthy living, it not only regulates the body’s temperature, it also aids the easy removal of waste products from the body, especially when on a fiber diet. It is recommended to take about eight cups of water a day. Drinking water about 30 minutes before and meals improves the body’s process of digestion.

Consume different varieties and combine healthy foods: Just like we discussed in principle 4, following a whole plant alkaline diet would require a healthy combination of foods in order for you not to only get the necessary nutrients, but also to get them in the required proportions. In fact, because of the shortage in necessary nutrients a single plant-based food can provide, one cannot really talk about following a healthy vegan diet without talking about food combinations.

Apart from the above facts, it also aids digestion process which invariable affect the body’s health in general. Food combinations also reduce wear and tear on the system of digestion, which is associated with repeated consumption of the same food. Note, when combining foods, you should be on the look out for simple and compactable foods.

Rules for following Dr. Sebi’s Diet

Apart from the fact that when following Dr. Sebi’s diet, it is compulsory get and religiously use Dr. Sebi’s available herbal cell supplements in other to receive maximum results of the diet, there are also specific rules to adhere to when following his diet plan and these rules are as follows;

The only plant-based foods you must consume are foods listed on Dr. Sebi’s approved list of foods.

You must drink a gallon of natural spring water daily.

When taking any Dr. Sebi’s supplements, they should be taken over an hour before the application of any medication.

Avoid the consumption of animals and all their products, as well as all hybrid and genetically modified foods.

Avoid the intake of alcohol.

Avoid the consumption of grains that are not naturally grown and found on Dr. Sebi’s approved list. And also, completely stay away from consuming wheat.

The only fruits allowed are fruits containing seeds. And also, avoid eating canned foods.

On no account should your food be microwaved. The reason for this is because microwaves kill your food.

Breakfast Recipes

In this chapter and the next two chapters, we will look at recipes and combinations of alkaline plant-based foods also known as electric food that could serve as good breakfast, lunch and dinner meals respectively. These foods are based on Dr. Sebi’s list of approved foods.

Kamut breakfast porridge

This meal is also known as Khorasan wheat and it is a great beneficial addition to your diet. It has a nutty flour and is rich in minerals such as selenium, zinc, magnesium and manganese. Kamut is also rich in fiber and it is delicious just as a filling.

Conclusion

Although, there isn’t any scientific evidence to back Dr. Sebi’s beliefs and his diet, it does not shut down the fact that consuming a variety of foods that are based on plants, does not have remedial effects for the body’s systems. Even doctors practicing modern medicine will agree that consumption of vegetables and fruits have a healthy effect on the human body, its organs, and systems.

Contained in the Dr. Sebi Diet are nutrients, one of which is Vitamin B-12. Also, the diet is very effective for loss of weight if that is what you are aiming for.

Note that, the alkaline diet comes with a downside; certain groups of people can be exposed to harm rather than good if they consume these diet foods and these include; children, women and nursing mothers. This is why many recommend that you see a doctor to confirm if consumption of any of the diet foods will have negative effects on you.

Chapter 1

Introduction

Herbs and natural food have been used since time immemorial, and it has been beneficial and useful in curing some chronic ailments such as diabetes, mental illness etc. Firstly, we have to look at what herbs  are and some ancient usage, as well as their composition.

Herb

Herbs are multipurpose plants which contain aromatic components used for cooking and medicinal functions.

History

The usage of herbs can be dated as far back as 5000 BCE, which is proof that Sumerians made use of herbs as medicine. The famous physicians were famous for combining close to 100 ingredients in formulating some herbal remedies. Some plants also contain phytochemicals that may not have been very good for the body. Plus, there are some effects the body experiences when they are assimilated, such as when they are used to spice food, and some herbs can be harmful when taken in excess. A good example is Hypericum perforatum or Piper methysticum, which is used to relieve stress and depression. Notwithstanding, an overload of these herbs may result in complications and so they must be taken carefully. 

Additional complications may arise when taken with certain prescription drugs.

The use of herbs have long been used as the basis of Chinese natural medicine in general, and their usage dates back to the first century AD, and also in India, Ayurvedic medicines are based on herbs. The use of plant healing in Western culture is rooted in the Hippocratic (Greek) system of healing elements, which is based on a metaphor for restoring quaternary elements.

Renowned herbalists from the western tradition include Avicenna (Persian), Galen (Roman), Paracelsus (German-Swiss), Culpeper (UK) and a botanist from America in the 19th century / early 20th century (John Milton Scudder, Harvey W.). John Uri Lloyd). Modern medicine comes from raw herbal medication, and until now, some capsules are still extracted as compounds which are fractionated/isolated from herbal raw materials and then purified to meet pharmaceutical standards.

Some herbs contain psychoactive elements which with human assistance, are used for all kinds of secular and recreational purposes in the early Holocene period. The leaves and potent extracts from the cannabis and coca plants have been chewed by people in northern Peruvian society for more than 8,000 years, while the use of marijuana herbs as a substances that affect the mind dates back to the first century AD. in China and North Africa.

Indigenous peoples of Australia developed a "shrub medicine" based solely on herbs that were easily accessible to them. The isolation of these companies means that the medicines developed affect far fewer diseases than western diseases, which dwindled during colonialism. Herbs such as peppermint, tangled, and eucalyptus has been used for coughs, diarrhoea, fever and headaches.

Chapter 2

Who is Dr. Sebi?

Alfredo Darrington Bowman was born on the 26th of November 1933 in llanga and died on the 6th of August 2016.  He is well known as Dr. Sebi. Dr. Sebi was a Honduran who became well known for his herbal cures, which he practised as an herbal profession not just in Honduras, but also in the United States in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

His self-acclaimed healing ability is second to none using a vegan diet based on various pseudoscientific claims. Dr. Sebi objected to regular scientific proof on the HIV leading to AIDs. He was able to set up a treatment center in Honduras and later moved his practice to New York City and Los Angeles.

His popularity grew as he gained famous and prominent clients, amongst whom was the renowned pop star, Michael Jackson.

Early years

Bowman a Honduras was of an African descent from his grandfather. He first gained knowledge of herbal medicine from his grandmother. His grandfather immigrated from Haiti. He was seen as an "African in Honduras." His research grew due to the displeasure he got from the western medicines which he applied to his several ailments such as asthma, diabetes, visual impairment and impotence. He went on to visit a herbalist in Mexico called Alfredo Cortez who told him emphatically that he was dying, Bowman said the man changed his story as he healed him. 

After Bowman's healing, he went on to practice in Honduras. He modelled a treatment process he called "African Bio-Electric Cell Food therapy," and demonstrated that it could help treat several diseases, including cancer and Aids, as well as various persistent disorders and mental illnesses. He further went on to create other herbal related products.

In the 1980s, Bowman set up a center near La Ceiba, Honduras and sold his herbal products in the United States. The name of his center is USHA Research Institute, which is situated in the village of USHA. He later moved to New York in that decade. Soon after, Bowman experienced legal trouble based on his medical and therapeutic stance. He kept on claiming that his supplements could erase AIDS from the human body. He further established his new center in California.

McGill University saw Bowman's diet and food therapy source as an untrusted alkaline diet base. Along the line, his revenue skyrocketed with over $3,000 daily. He was like a consultant; he advised on the use of herbs and diets. He had some celebrity, well-paying customers, amongst such were Steven Seagal, John Travolta, Lisa Lopes, Eddie Murphy and Micheal Jackson. It was reported that he helped to treat Micheal Jackson right before going on trial in 2004 due to a child abuse case.

AIDS became well known in the early 1980s as a deadly disease in the United States with several cases in major cities like New York and others. Bowman kept saying that HIV was not the cause of AIDS and he could use his herbal medicine to treat people who had it.

In 1987 while in New York, Bowman was arrested and taken to court for practicing medicine without a proper license. The court didn't convict him since his prosecutors had no substantial evidence on him. Three years later he was again sued in New York on his therapeutic claims and gains for his products. Due to the civil case, he was forbidden from stating such claims. He later went moved to Los Angeles where his fortune increased as he was able to gain the attention of celebrities who needed his services.

Arrest And Death Controversy

In the year 2016, 28th of May, Bowman and his close associate Pablo Medina Gamboa were apprehended for money laundering at the Juan Manuel Galvez de Roatan Airport for possessing a huge sum of money estimated to be $37,000 cash. When they were asked the reason for having such money, they said nothing. They tried to move from one commercial flight right from the United States to a private plane heading to a place in Honduras. He was later released awaiting a court hearing to take place on the 6th of June 2016, and his troubles doubled as he was later arrested by the Public Ministerio on money laundering charges. Dr. Sebi was imprisoned in Honduras for several weeks; and during this time, his family was moved around to secure his release.

During this period, he became ill, which grew worse. Seeing the severity of his condition, they moved him to a hospital. Bowman couldn’t survive the condition as he died of chronic pneumonia on the 6th of August 2016 while in transit to Hospital D'Antoni, coupled with the poor state of the jail may have caused his death, and the long period he spent there. There were controversies regarding his death, as some of his fans feel there was a big conspiracy to quickly and permanently silent him because his teaching and methods put western medicine and its establishments at risk.

Chapter 3

Dr. Sebi's Approach to All Diseases

Dr. Sebi's approach to several diseases is quite simple. Let me give you a quick break down on his premise and methodology to all diseases. Dr. Sebi's methods and approach have been consistent. They have a different approach to diseases, and their causes. Let's look at the western approach first.

Following the western Medical research, disease results when the host is being infected with a “germ,” “virus,” or “bacteria.” Western medicine employs inorganic, carcinogenic chemicals. Dr. Sebi claims that the western approach and definition is filled with errors, and they have uncovered it. By persistently making use of the identical premise and methods, they have persistently yielded ineffective results. In essence, in the 400-year lifestyle of the European philosophy of medicine, their approach in treating health problem has yet to produce any cures.

In contrast, the African approach to the remedy for these disorders is very much at odds with the modern-day Western approach. Africa's biomineral stability, in particular, refutes the germ/virus/bacteria premise, and our research indicates that each manifestation of an ailment finds its starting place when and where the mucous membrane is disturbed.

For example, bronchitis is a sickness caused by excess mucus in the bronchi. If it is in the lungs, the disease is pneumonia, in the pancreatic duct it is diabetes, and in arthritis the joints. All African compounds for biomineral balance are made from natural plants; which means that their composition is alkaline.

This is crucial and contributes to our success in reversing pathology - due to the fact disease exists only in an acidic environment; Therefore, the use of inorganic materials in the remedy of ailments is nevertheless controversial due to the fact they are acid-based. Only the non-stop use of herbal drugs can efficiently cleanse and detoxify the negative health in the body, returning it to an alkaline state.

Our meal plan goes a step further. Apart from disposing of years of amassed toxins, the balance of African biominerals replaces depleted minerals and rejuvenates damaged tissues that have been eroded with the supply of diseased acid conditions. The quintessential excretory organs are the skin, liver, gallbladder, lymph nodes, kidneys and large intestine, and when all the toxins are eliminated from the above organs, they are recycled in some part of the body, thus causing disease. Finally, the body breaks down into its weakest organ as it can't breakdown the effects of the poison.

Chapter 4

Naturally Cleanse with Herbs and Product

Herbs contain natural healing components. Dr. Sebi has developed some strict plant-based diet that helps achieve the optimum value from these plants. Dr. Sebi believes that mucus and acidity cause diseases. He also established that eating some foods and avoiding some others could naturally detoxify the body, thereby reaching an alkaline state that will help reduce the tendency of disease.

Dr. Sebi believes that diseases can only live in an acidic environment. The sole purpose of the diet is for the body to reach an alkaline state to prevent or eliminate the disease.

How To Follow The Diet

In Dr. Sebi’s nutritional guide, there are some rules there to be followed to achieve the best results. 

Only eat foods listed in the guide.

Drink 1 gallon of natural spring water daily.

Avoid animal products, hybrid foods, and alcohol.

Avoid using a microwave, which will “kill your food.”

Avoid canned and seedless fruits.

The Dr. Sebi diet consists of the following:

Vegetables, which includes avocadoes, kale, bell peppers, and wild arugula

Fruits, which includes apples, bananas, dates, and Seville oranges

Grains, which includes rye, spelt, wild rice, and quinoa

Oils, which includes avocado, hempseed, coconut, and olive oils, though Dr. Sebi advises against using the latter two in cooking.

Nuts and seeds, which includes hemp and raw sesame seeds, tahini butter, and walnuts

Herbal teas, which includes chamomile, fennel, and ginger varieties

Natural sweeteners, which includes agave syrup and date sugar

What Are The Benefits?

Since there is no scientific evidence to support the Dr. Sebi diet, nonetheless, a good number of researches show that a plant-based diet can maintain and improve health. There are zero risks to worry over.

Some health benefits of plant-based diets include the following:

Weight loss — A 2015 research concluded that a vegan eating program resulted in more weight loss than other, less restrictive diets. The people who participated lost up to 7.5% of body weight after 6 months on a vegan diet.

Appetite manipulates — A 2016 research in younger male participants found they felt more full and cozy after ingesting a plant-based meal containing peas and beans than a meal containing meat. 

Altering the microbiome — The time word “microbiome” refers to the microorganisms in the gut. A 2019 research showed that a plant-based food plan could alter the microbiome favourably, leading to much less threat of disease. However, confirming this will require additional research.

Reduced risk of disease – A 2017 research showed that a diet based strictly on herbs might slow down the risk of heart disease by 40% and it also reduces the risk of getting metabolic syndrome and type-2 diabetes by half.

One of Dr. Sebi’s standards is found in natural food. He encourages us to avoid processed food and eat more edible and natural foods.

Is Dr. Sebi's Herpes Cure Effective?

Let’s Understand What the Herpes Virus Is.

Herpes simplex viruses, also known by its scientific names as Human Alpha Herpes Virus 1 and Human Alpha Herpes Virus 2, belong to the human family Herpesviridae and are caused in most cases by viral infections. HSV-1 (which causes cold sores) and HSV-2 (which causes most genital herpes) are prevalent and contagious.

Dr. Sebi’s healing ability had become a blessing to millions of people and amongst his patients healed were several persons who had the Herpes Virus.

The health problem organisation is a billion bucks’ organisation - which is why the large Pharmaceuticals sued Dr. Sebi the moment he found a 1-Week CURE FOR HERPES (Oral and Genital). Dr. Sebi cited that an aggregate of Alkaline Food and home remedies is what can be used to create the fantastic electric powered components to revitalise the body.

Dr. Sebi’s motive prior to his death was to create a perfect world free of health problems and diseases after he misdirected plenty of cash to English medicinal drugs, which may no longer aid his cause. Anti-retroviral capsules will do you greater harm than good when it comes to the treatment of HERPES (Genital/Oral).

Dr. Sebi's Approach to Reversing Diabetes

Before we unveil Dr. Sebi's approach, we should understand what diabetes is;

Diabetes is a disorder that increases your blood sugar level, also known as blood sugar. Blood sugar is your primary source of energy and comes from the foods you eat. Insulin, a hormone generated by the pancreas, aids glucose in entering your cells to provide energy.

Sometimes your body doesn't make enough - or at all - insulin or doesn't use insulin properly. The glucose then resides in your blood and doesn't get to your cells. If you have too much glucose in your blood from time to time, it can cause health problems. The medical field believes diabetes cannot be cured; yet there are steps you can take to control diabetes and stay healthy. But Dr. Sebi, the renowned herbalist has a cure that has stood the test of time.

Having a bio-mineral balance is the basis for cleansing the body from all diseases, including diabetes, according to Dr. Sebi. There have been numerous reports of people being contacted by Dr. Sebi to be cared for and healed. Dr. Sebi's treatment for type 2 diabetes is simple: eat from his nutritional guidelines, rid the body of bad cells, and oxygenate the good cells.

Dr. Sebi’s Herbs for Diabetes

Dr. Sebi has some approved herbs which can be used to reverse and cure diabetes:

Remedies and Cures For Lupus

Systematic lupus erythematosus, better known as lupus, is an auto-immunity disease where your body's immune system is at war with the organs and tissues of your body and against invaders in the body. Lupus is a long-term condition that leads to the inflammation of the joints, skin and other organs of your body. Since there is no cure for lupus, the long-term effects and symptoms of lupus can be better managed through early detection and treatments.

With adequate treatment, people living with lupus can expect an average lifespan. This is according to the Lupus Foundation of America. Some of these medications and treatments will be considered shortly. Before then, let's take a look at some of the common symptoms of lupus. This includes; chest pain, swollen lymph nodes, painful and swollen joints. Fever, hair loss and mouth ulcers are also included.

Herbs Used for The Treatment of Lupus

Tumeric

Tumeric reduces inflammation from lupus. The active ingredients in lupus are Curcumin. Curcumin is useful in the treatment of autoimmune disease like lupus. You can add Tumeric to your meal or better still take it in the form of a drink. Add a teaspoon of it into your milk, heat it, then drink. You can also take it with honey, which makes it taste better. Your doctor should be aware of it before you engage in taking Turmeric. People with gallbladder issues cannot take Turmeric with honey. It is not good for them.

Ginger

Ginger, through its anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, helps reduce pain and swell. Ginger can be consumed in the form of juice and tea; you can add ginger to your meal. Its curative remedy is required for several health challenges.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Hydrochloric acid is deficient in a lupus patient. This is according to a medical practitioner. Apple cider vinegar increases the production of hydrochloric acid in the body. It improved the absorption of nutrients and help in detoxification. This purpose alone is even enough to prepare an apple cider vinegar drink. Get warm water, put a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in it, and with the addition of juice from half a lemon, then drink it 20 minutes before your meal. Do it 3 times a day. 

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil has a rich well of health benefits like improving your digestion; it also controls your blood sugar and the level of cholesterol in your body. Coconut oil aids you in balancing the negative responses of your immune system on your body. Coconut oil can be utilized for cooking your meals, as well as for taking in your beverages.

Tulsi Or Holy Basil

Holy Basil is used for preventing flare-ups and helps in regulating your stress level. Lupus flare-ups are as a result of a high level of stress your immune system undergoes. Holy basil properties like anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant help to relieve fatigue, and they help improve the proper functioning of organs and give you a sense of well-being. You can take Basil by making a herbal tea out of it and drinking it thrice a day. You can also chew the basil leaves every single day.

Epsom Salt

Epsom Salt works to help the body absorb magnesium and remove toxins from the body. It also helps to reduce joint pain and inflammation. Fatigue, which is one of the symptoms of lupus, is facilitated through the use of Epsom salt bath. For an Epsom salt bath, add a cup of Epsom salt to your bathwater and mix thoroughly. Then soak yourself in it say for about 20 to 30 minutes for proper absorption by your body. Kidney and diabetic patients are excluded from this.

Flaxseeds

Flaxseed is rich in omega 3 fatty acids. This helps to reduce inflammation and improve kidney functionality in lupus patients. Take 30 gram of flaxseeds a day as a lupus patient to get over renal or kidney failure.

Green Tea

According to the study carried out, it was found that the extracts of green tea administered to a lupus patient over 12 weeks helps combat lupus symptoms and flare-ups.

Medication Use For The Treatment Of Lupus

Medicine is mainly used for the treatment of lupus and can either be taken alone or in combination. This is dependent on your particular case. However, these medicines are different in their working. Their common trait is to help reduce swelling in your body. The following drugs are used for treating lupus.

NSAID

Drugs like ibuprofen, aspirin, indomethacin or Naprosyn are used for reducing swelling, as well as pain and stiffness. These drugs are enough to control the symptoms in lupus patients.

Antimalarial drugs.

Researchers have found that the drugs used in treating malaria, such as hydroxychloroquine can also help in the treatment of lupus flares. These antimalarial drugs help reduce joint swelling and skin rashes. It can be taken alone for mild to moderate cases of lupus. Hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) should be used in combination with other drugs for severe cases involving the kidneys and other organs.

According to an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, he said that antimalaria drugs had become a daily multivitamin for people suffering from mild to moderate case of lupus. Despite the drugs' side effects being mild, these drugs can help prevent complications, thereby improving your health long-term.

Benlysta

This drug is an antibody that not only recognizes protein in the immune system, but also blocks it. The protein serves as a contributing factor to the immune system’s attack on the cells of your body. Benlysta, also known as Belimumab, is the newest lupus drug approved in 2011. It is used for treating lupus. This drug is not taken alone, but must be taken alongside other lupus drugs for it to be effective. This drug is helpful to some patients who have lupus, it reduces the doses of steroids they must take. This can have disturbing side effects on them; it does no good to the other half suffering from lupus. Some of the side effects from the use of Benlysta include; fever, nausea, and diarrhoea.

Cortiscosteroids.

For individuals suffering from a severe lupus flare that affects the organs, oral steroids like Prednisolone and Prednisone come in handy. A high dose of it can help the sufferer by controlling their symptoms. The application of steroids does come with its side effects as it leads to mood changes, depression, and weight gain. If not managed properly, the utilization of steroids would, in the long run, lead to a high risk of osteoporosis. Weight-related conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, are not excluded.

According to an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School the main objectives in the application of steroids are to get the person onto the lowest possible dose necessary to control symptoms. As you get better, the dose ought to be reduced by your rheumatologist.

At the same time, some patients can stop taking them. Others probably would need long-term treatment as long as it is on low dose steroids. Also, there is good news for individuals suffering from skin rashes as a result of lupus. Steroids now come in a tropical treatment to help take care of the rashes.

Immunosuppressive Drugs

Immune suppressive drugs are generally used for people who have severe lupus, and when corticosteroids haven't worked or aren't an option. What the immunosuppressive drugs does for the patient is to relived the symptoms. This it does by subduing your immune system. The overactive immune system causes lupus disease. 

Immunosuppressive drugs are also not without their side effects. Taking this drug completely leaves you open to infection. Hence the need for medical attention when you notice a sign of illness or infection.

Experimental Medication

These new lupus medications are designed to target some specific immune cells. Studies and testing are ongoing. Consult your doctor about joining a clinical trial if you are interested.

Other Medication

These include statins, diuretics, and anticoagulants, these drugs are to strengthen bones, as well as blood pressure medicines, antibiotics, stimulants, and others. Lupus affects different people differently depending on their symptoms. Hence the need for these medications mentioned above is in high demand.

The key, is to find the right combination, with no single combination helpful to persons with lupus, so, you should put this at the back of your mind and give your rheumatologist time to get you the right combination.

According to Fitzgerald, "A drug might work well in some people and not at all in others. Unfortunately, we can’t tell who will benefit and who won't."

More Lupus Treatments

More lupus treatments apart from medicine include:

Surgery and Transplants

This is a case of lupus damaging the organs, especially the kidneys. This leads to kidney failure and the need for a transplant to save their life.

Experimental Treatments

Around the globe, other ways to treat lupus are currently being studied by scientists. One of them is a stem cell transplant. Only on the grounds of a severe case of lupus that's hasn't responded to any other medication can one be considered for an experimental treatment.

Complementary medicine

There exists evidence that supplements like fish oil and DHEA might be helpful to lupus patients. Seek the advice of your rheumatologist before engaging in taking supplements. Like a two-edged sword , it could either interact with the lupus or worsen it. 

Lifestyle Change

Combating lupus is not for the medical personnel alone. You, as an individual, also have a role to play through the way you live your life. What do I mean?

The foods you eat matters.

There's no meal plan out there that has been put together for managing lupus symptoms. You can help yourself by abstaining from junk and acidic foods and consuming more alkaline based food, including a diet rich in fruits and vegetables. You can ask your doctor for recommendations for food that can significantly improve your health. Now, let’s say you are suffering from a kidney problem. Your doctor would likely recommend you eat food that has a low salt content. Or say you were experiencing bone loss. Your doctor may likely recommend that you eat food rich in calcium and vitamin D. So, aim for a better diet.

Exercise regularly.

For an individual with lupus, the risk of heart disease can be lowered through exercise. It can boost your energy, sharpen your thinking and significantly improve your mood.

Stress is a killer, so reduce it.

Engage in yoga, meditation, breathing exercises—also, biofeedback to reduce your level of stress. Cognitive-behavioural therapy is another way of dealing with your stress level.

Learn to rest.

You must give your body time to replenish itself. During the day, between your schedule, find time to rest. Also, at night, 8 to 10 hours of sleep is required for individuals who have lupus.

Working With Doctors

In your medical portfolio, you must have at least a few of these medical personnel. A rheumatologist, a G.P and other experts in the field of lupus, depending on your symptoms. Since lupus is so unpredictable, regular check-ups are the key. A correct treatment today might not be that good tomorrow. Over time, these lupus symptoms are bound to fluctuate. So as far as you get the help you need when you need it, the worries of lupus can be an alley.

 Bermas thinks that "those diagnosed with lupus should be optimistic about treatment." Finding the right treatment might take time and does involve trial and error. With endurance, the odds of finding the remedy for your situation is thus in your favour. 

Coping With Lupus Medication Side Effects

People need not be afraid of the possible side effects of lupus. In as much as the side effects from lupus drugs are real and severe, and some are even uncommon, the majority of them can be managed.

Fitzgerald believes that "people need to realize that when they're taking these medications, we know what side effects to look for. If they occur, we change the medication and it usually goes away."

Your rheumatologist would be in a better position to help you weigh in on the potential risks, along with the possible benefits of your lupus medication when you share your concerns with him or her.

How to Prevent And Treat Hair Loss

Hair loss is a worldwide phenomenon, and almost one-third of the world’s population suffers from this dilemma of hair loss. So, you see that it's a common trend so, you need not worry yourself over a few fallen hairs. Hair loss could be due to medication, mineral deficiency, diet, stress, or genetics. Putting on a hat or cap could be considered a reason for the hair loss. This chapter contains useful tips on how to prevent hair loss, some of which are discussed below.

Shampoo your hair regularly.

One of the ways to prevent hair loss is by keeping the scalp clean through regular and thorough washing of your hair. What this process does is to minimize the risk of dandruff ad infection that might cause hair breakage or loss.

Vitamins

Scientists are convinced that vitamins A, B, C, D, zinc, iron and selenium are very pivotal to the growth and retention process for your hair, especially with cell turnover. So, you see now that vitamins are not just for your well-being alone; they are also needed for your hair. Vitamin A is necessary for the production of healthy sebum in the scalp, keeping your scalp more healthy, which causes it to retain more hair. So, eat food rich in vitamin A like spinach, sweet pepper, sweet potato, etc.

Vitamin B is needed for the maintenance of healthy hair colors. At the same time, Vitamin E helps with blood circulation around the scalp for creating productive hair follicles.

Protein

A study was done in 2017 (trusted source), which shows that among 100 people suffering from hair loss that the majority of the participants were nutritionally deficient, especially in amino acids, which are a building block of protein. At the same time, researchers think that more studies are needed to validate the above (Trusted source). A diet rich in protein like fish, lean meat, beans, nuts, eggs, chicken, turkey and low-fat dairy products helps to prevent hair loss as hair follicles are made up of a protein called keratin. 

Massage the scalp with essential oils.

You can add lavender to an almond or sesame oil, and it can be used to massage the scalp for a few minutes to keep the hair follicles active.

Avoid brushing wet hair.

This is where your hair is at its weakest state. So, brushing it or not using a wide-toothed comb on it can only result in more hair loss. In the same light, frequently brushing your hair injures it and if you must untangle your hair, you should do it by running your fingers through it instead of using a comb or brush. 

Mediterranean Diet

The Mediterranean diet is a diet containing fresh herbs and raw vegetables. It helps to reduce hair loss by reducing the risk of androgenic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness) or at least slowing its onset. This is according to a study carried out in 2017, at the Archive of Dermatologist Research.

Ginseng

Certain phytochemicals are found in ginseng which help promote the growth of hair on the scalp. Speak to your doctor about your use of the ginseng supplements to get the correct dose. Or better still go for tropical solutions that are made of ginseng ingredients.

Onion juice, ginger juice or garlic juice

Regularly rub one of these onto your scalp, leaving it overnight for one week, and you will experience a noticeable change in your hair.

Rub green tea on your hair.

Brew two bags of green tea, allow it to cool, then apply to your hair and rinse after an hour. Do this regularly for a week to 10 days, and you will see a significant change in your hair. Studies have shown that rubbing green tea on your hair helps curb hair loss.

De-stress

Medical evidence exists that shows the connection between the loss of hair and stress. So de-stress yourself by engaging in yoga, meditation, etc. This process has also led to restoring the hormonal balance of your body.

Constant heating and drying your hair

Constant drying and heating your hair causes your hair to be fragile, which in turn leads to hair loss. Reason being that the heating and drying process leads to the weakening of the hair’s protein.

Keep yourself hydrated

To stay hydrated, drink at least 4 to 8 cups of water a day since your hair shaft composition is about one-quarter water.

Know what is bad for your hair.

Let your hair dry on its own, as in let it dry manually. Avoid rubbing your hair with a dry towel. Knowing what works for your hair is one way to keep your hair healthy.

Avoid smoking and reduce alcohol intake.

Smoking and alcohol cause a reduction in the growth of your hair by reducing the amount of blood that flows into the scalp. So, if you want to see an increase in hair growth, eliminate the consumption of both.

Physical activities

Engaging in physical activities every day like walking, biking, or swimming for 30 minutes helps to reduce hair loss, as well as reduces your stress level and balances your hormonal level.

Keep your head free from sweat.

During the summer, people with oily hair encounter dandruff as a result of sweating which causes a high rate of hair loss. So, keep your hair cool with the use of shampoo that contains neem and aloe-vera to prevent dandruff from happening. 

People who work a lot while wearing a helmet, especially me, sweat a lot from the pores of the head during the summer, which weakens the hair and causes hair loss.

A terrycloth headband, a scarf or bandana over your hair is the way to prevent hair loss in this situation.

Your Health

Ensure you take care of your health properly. Consult with your doctor if you are experiencing high fever, chronic illness, and infection so has to have better, healthier hair.

Watch your medication

Side effects of the medication you take indeed can lead to hair loss. If you have noticed your hair falling out when medicating, see your doctor and ask him to change your medication.

Stay away from Chemicals.

Do not color your hair when it is falling out. Also, abstain from permanent hair dye  with its harsh chemicals, as they could have a damaging effect on your hair. 

Schedule a regular appointment with your doctor.

See your doctor for any underlying illness or see a dermatologist for any skin related conditions, as these can lead to changes in your hormonal balance which in turn causes your hair to fall out.

Biotin (Vitamin H)

If you are dealing with a hair loss problem, then biotin-rich food is your go-to guy. Biotin is a vitamin B complex that helps our body in the conversion of food into energy. So, food rich in biotin like eggs, sweet potatoes, oats, and onions or even taking biotin supplements helps slow down hair loss.

Olive Oil

Olive oil is among the core ingredients in Dr. Sebi's diet and can be used to condition hair, and thus protect it from dryness and breakage slows down genetic hair loss. Applying a couple of tablespoons of it onto your hair for thirty minutes before washing it off will get the job done.

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil, according to a trusted source, helps binds the protein in hair, thus protecting it from a breakage at the root and strand because of the lauric acid found in it.

In line with a study carried out in 2018, it was discovered that coconut oil could prevent hair damage that might happen as a result of grooming or exposure to ultraviolet light. Also, massaging coconut oil into your scalp promotes better circulation of the blood, which in turn helps to strengthen the hair. 

Why Does Hair Fall Out?

Everything in life goes through a cycle. The same is true of your hair as it goes through its life cycle of growth, resting and shedding. Losing 100 hair follicles a day is a common thing, but if you experience sudden hair loss in patches, or overall thinning, please see your doctor, as there could a health challenge that needs to be treated. Hair shedding happens in degrees. Some hair falling out is temporary and may respond well with a change in diet, treatment or even lifestyle. At the same time, another type of shedding could be permanent and would require the expertise of a medical practitioner to shine more light on the problem. 

Age 40 for men and before age 70 for a female is a point where hereditary does kick in, and about half the population is expected to experience hair loss due to a condition like androgenic alopecia (male/female pattern baldness).

Other causes of hair falling out include:

       Radiation treatment for cancer,

       The way you styled your hair over time like cornrows or ponytail,

       Hormonal changes from a thyroid issue, menopause, childbirth or pregnancy,

       Medical condition like trichotillomania (hair-pulling disorder), or scalp infection

In closing, when you observe sudden hair loss, it’s best to book an appointment with your doctor as there could some issues you are not aware of. Also, note that you have to be patient with some of the hair treatments as it might take a longer time to witness a noticeable change if you're the one suffering from hair damage or loss.

How To Naturally Get Cancer Treatment (Food And Herbs For Body Cleansing)

There are a number of recommended herbs for preventing cancer, and there are also studies backing these herbs. Below are some of the herbs with anticancer properties.

Garlic (Allium sativum)

Garlic comprises of sulphur, flavonoids, selenium and arginine. Garlic belongs to the onion family Alliaceae, and when chopped up, the bioactive compound found in garlic are formed from allicin. In an on-going-multinational study across 10 countries by the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC), it has been shown from their research that there is a positive co-relation between consuming garlic or onions and the effect it has on reducing cancer risk.

Even studies from France, China and the US have all supported the claim by EPIC that the consumption of garlic reduces the risk of cancer. In garlic lies the ability to stop the activation and formation of cancer-causing agents because of its anti-bacterial properties. The World Health Organization recommendation for any adult serious in fighting cancer is one garlic bulb or 2 to 5 grams daily.

Ginger (Zingiber officinale)

Ginger belongs to the Zingiberaceae and has a 2,000 year long history of medicinal use. In an experimental model, ginger’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties have been shown to have be very potent in preventing the advancement of cancer. Studies done attest to the effect ginger has in preventing cancer, like the one conducted at Michigan University where ginger caused ovarian cancer cells to die. Also, not forgetting the one in Cancer Prevention Research where inflammation of the colon was greatly decreased by taking ginger.

In as much as Science is doing all it can in combating cancer, you as an individual also have a role to play in preventing cancer from knocking on your door. Eat properly and eat food that's rich in fruits and vegetables and at the same time, limit your intake of food that is acidic in nature. This is the way to safeguard yourself, your family, and to stay healthier.

Amla

Amla, according to the science of Ayurveda that originated in India more than 5,000 years ago, is a superfood known as the rejuvenation king in the sense that it is one of the richest sources of Vitamin C. It contains gallic acid, quercetin, tannins, flavonoids, pectin and various polyphenolic compounds. The ancient use of amla has been proven once again to be right by scientific research of over three decades, and the experiments done using extracts of amla carried out in the laboratory has been effective against cancerous cells without harming the individual using it.

Tumeric

Based on its anti-cancer properties, Tumeric is among the most researched herbs with attributes like anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, anti-oxidants and analgesic values. Curcumin is the main component of turmeric. It has potent antioxidant properties for hindering the growth of cancerous cells in the body. Without harming healthy cells, curcumin can kill cancerous cells, according to 2,000 published scientific papers.

Ashwagandha

This is Indian ginseng whose anti-cancer value was discovered by researchers over 40 years ago when they isolated the crystalline steroidal compound (withaferin A) from this herb. Ashwagandha is used for helping the body deal with stress in Ayurveda. Extracts taken from the Ashwagandha leaf were found to be able to kill cancerous cells.

Basil (Ocimum basilicum)

Basil is a culinary herb predominantly known for its healing powers. In India, it is called Tulsi since it is originally native to them. Not just there, but it is also found in Iran and other tropical regions of Asia.

Currently, basil is available all over the world. Basil's properties, to include antiviral, antibacterial, antimutagenic, antitumorigenic and antioxidant came from several components including; estragole, eugenol, linalool and 1,8-cineole.

Basil is used for fighting stress and improving immunity since it also possesses analgesic, anti-diabetic, anti-stress, and anti-inflammatory properties, according to research. According to studies, chemically induced lung, liver, oral and skin cancers are prevented by the phytochemicals present in Basil, thereby altering gene expressions, increasing the antioxidant activity and stopping the spread of cancer to other cells.

Dr.. Sebi’s Herpes Cure

Herpes is an infection that comes as a result of the herpes simplex virus. It has no cure. However, there exist treatments that may help the individual suffering from herpes deal with the symptoms. 

Herpes is of two types; herpes simplex virus 1(HSV-1), and herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2). Even though both are genital herpes, only HSV-1 causes oral herpes.

The symptoms of herpes include; sores on the skin, mouth, genitals and anal area. The following are some of Dr. Sebi's herpes remedies to help better manage the symptoms.

Honey

The application of Kanuka honey, according to a study carried out in 2019, is effective in treating oral herpes in the form of antiviral creams. From the study mentioned above, it took 9 days with honey and 8 days with antiviral cream for the sores to be healed. At the same time, oral herpes without treatment can heal within a space of 1-2 weeks. Whether it is just the Kanuka honey or all honey in general that have the potential to heal is not yet clear.

Vitamins

Vitamins are very pivotal in protecting the body against the herpes virus and its symptoms.

A high level of vitamin D can help improve a part of your immune system, thereby protecting your body against this infection. In contrast, a low level of vitamin D makes your system an easy target for the herpes virus.

Vitamin E antioxidative properties can help reduce the stress put on your immune system by herpes, which in turn reduces the risk of infection. It is said that researchers are conducting clinical trials against herpes using vitamin E. Taking supplements or a change in your diet can help boost the level of these vitamins in your body. Sunlight is also another way of boosting the vitamin D level in your body.

Garlic

Garlic generally has lots of healing properties, and its medicinal use in curing most ailments dates back several centuries ago, especially for both types of herpes. It is usually boiled and taken as tea or taken in capsules or just eaten fresh. A compound known as Allicin contained in garlic has been known to have preventive and curative effects on the herpes simplex virus; however, there is no clear evidence as yet.

Gels

One can easily purchase gels specific for easing the discomfort associated with urinating if you have genital herpes. Although, it has also been found that applying just petroleum jelly to the affected area also reduces this discomfort. It is very important to wash both hands before and after application.

Dietary changes

Diet has always played a major role in boosting or suppressing the immune system and the general health condition of an individual.

Pomegranate has been an effective home remedy for infections for centuries. This fruit has high levels of zinc, which reduces herpes infections.

Increasing the consumption of the amino acid lysine whilst avoiding the amino acid Arginine has proven to be beneficial in the prevention and treatment of herpes infection. Sources of Lysine include Cheese and Pork, while that of Arginine includes: soy protein, fish, walnuts and peanuts.

Reducing the consumption of red wine, caffeine, and excessive smoking has proven to be beneficial in the management of the herpes infection.

It is also helpful in the prevention and management of the HSV to identify and avoid food products causing allergies.

Supplements

The use of Zinc can control herpes symptoms, as well as lysine, lemon balm, adenosine monophosphate, vitamin E, and vitamin C, according to older studies carried out.

According to the International Council on Amino Acid Science, taking lysine supplements can help prevent the outbreaks of cold sores.

A minimum of 1 gram of lysine for one day, according to experts in a 2017 review, along with a low arginine diet can help people deal with their symptoms. To avoid adverse side effects, always consult with your doctor before taking supplements as there are high chances that they could interact with other medications with a negative side effect you did not plan for.

Oil

The use of an oil-like wormwood, hinoki cypress, rosemary, garden thyme, eucalyptus caesia, Tripterygium hypoglaucum, basil, and cinnamon can help decrease the spread of HSV-1.

These oils, apart from taking them orally, can be mixed in your bathwater when taking your bath, or put in a diffuser to affect the HSV areas directly.

Note that applying directly on the skin without diluting it might end up causing adverse effects and as such, you need to dilute them using carrier oils like almond and olive oil. 

In as much as there is no proven evidence to show that oil can help one deal with herpes symptoms, clinical trials are on-going to test if organic oils, like jojoba oil, and sesame oil have the potential to manage the symptoms of herpes.

Chapter 11

Prevention And Recovering From Herpes

Herpes, as we said, is an infectious virus that has no cure. At the same time, HIV is a Human Immune Virus that also has no cure and can be contracted when people engage in a very risky activity like having unprotected sex with an infected person whether knowingly or not. So, what are the steps to take to either recover if you're already infected or better still, put measures in place so as not to get infected by this virus.

It is safe to say people who have herpes may be at an increased risk of getting HIV because the same conditions like not using condoms, or having anonymous or multiple partners that put them at risk for an infection could also be the same conditions that may put them at risk for another, which in this case HIV. Since herpes and HIV are linked, one can see that when someone gets herpes, he or she got it from someone who was at risk to get both herpes and HIV.

It is established that people with herpes can increase the risk of spreading HIV.

The following activities can put you at increased risk of Herpes and HIV:

       You are engaging in anal, oral, or vaginal sex without using a condom.

       Having multiple partners

       Having sex under the influence of alcohol and drugs does put you at an increased risk

       Having anonymous sex partners.

So, does treating herpes prevent HIV?

Not entirely true. Though treating herpes should greatly decrease the risk of HIV, but studies have shown us that it does not. What treatment of Herpes does is to reduce its complications and even transmission to our loved ones, but it does not stop the spread of HIV.

How to prevent ourselves from getting herpes and HIV

       From start to finish, use a condom and dental dam for every act of anal, vaginal or oral sex.

       Stick to one partner and if you must have a new partner, discuss honestly between yourselves about undergoing a test to see if you are infected prior to having sex.

       Don't engage in any sexual activities whenever you are high on drugs and alcohol.

       Have an honest talk with yourself and go for a test. Many persons prefer living without being interested in knowing what goes on in their body, but for the sake of you and your loved ones, that's not the best way to live.

       Speak to your doctor about the pre-exposure prophylaxis (PREP) or post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) options. Find out which would be a good option for you and your partner to prevent HIV infection.

Now we know that individual infected with herpes are two times more likely to get HIV compared to individuals not infected. People infected with both are more likely to pass them onto someone else, so it is in your best interest not to engage in risky behaviour. Help protect yourself and your family.

Conclusion

You can still have a normal life and enjoy it to the fullest if you are suffering from cancer, lupus, herpes, HIV, diabetes and the other diseases out there through the application of Dr., Sebi’s Herbal remedies, as well as having a dietary change and living a healthy lifestyle, etc. You can lead a healthier life and prolong your days in spite of whether there is a cure to these diseases or not. Also, for those who are not infected in one way or another, stay safe and consciously take the appropriate measures to remain that way.

The Ultimate Guide to Naturally Detox Your Body with Dr. Sebi Herbs

BELINDA GOLEMAN

CHAPTER 1

Introduction

In our society today, the quest by many to have a balanced and healthy life has opened the treasure chest of ancient health practices like Yoga, Ayurveda, and the use of herbs to improve our health. These practices though sometimes lack scientific backing or approval, but they prove very effective in revitalizing the health of those who practice it. This though has reduced the dependence on modern medicine, but the goal is achieved, which is helping people stay healthy, so, it does not matter what method you use, be it herbal or drugs.

Dr. Sebi found a way to unlock the world of herbs, though these were in existence thousands of years ago, being practiced in ancient Egypt, Greek and China. This material explores into Dr. Sebi’s journal of herbs, which he listed as a good source of a cure for various diseases. The focus of Dr. Sebi is not to cure people of a sickness, but to actually prevent people from being sick. He found out that most times if our body system is kept at a particular state, it will be difficult to fall ill; hence he created his own alkaline diet.

These alkaline diets are perfect for body detoxification, which means getting rid of harmful substances in the body. These diets are comprised of all food classes, mostly vegan, but our focus is on the herbs, which he carefully analyzed to help our body function optimally. Detoxing your body is a must for all because of the high level of toxic substances we consume daily, but knowing what to do and not do it, will give you the same result. So, I will urge you to follow through with this material and enjoy a healthy life.

CHAPTER 2

Who Was Dr. Sebi?

Biography

Early Years

Dr. Sebi, born as Alfred Bowman, was of African descent. He was born in the year 1933 in llanga, Honduras. His profound healing skill began from his close learning from his grandmother. His grandfather was a Haitian immigrant, and Bowman was known as an African while living in Honduras.

His increasing quest for natural herbs came from the dissatisfaction he got from western medicines in curing his asthma, diabetes and impotence. He then visited a herbalist in Mexico who Bowman acknowledged for healing him.

After Bowman started his healing method in Honduras, he formulated a treatment that he titled the "African Bio-Electric Cell Food Therapy." Bowman testified that it could cure an extensive range of diseases amongst such are cancer, AIDS, and some other prevalent conditions and mental disorders.

He also formulated other similar and related products and opened a center in the year 1980 close to La Ceiba, Honduras and sold his herbal products in the United States (USA), he named it USHA Research Institute and located in the village of Usha. Bowman later moved to New York City much later where he faced legal challenges on his medical and therapeutic testimonies as he testified that his herbal products could cure AIDS. But, he finally moved to his center in California, where he grew and expanded his clientele.

His Career

The McGill University saw Bowman's diet and food therapy as the discredited alkaline diet because his notion on the origin of disease failed germ theory and factored in faux-Afrocentric claims about the special genetic features of Africans and their diaspora.

As time went on, he began to earn massive income daily of about $3,000 as he was able to get some renowned celebrity clients amongst whom are Lisa Lopes, Steven Seagal, John Travolta, Eddie Murphy and even Michael Jackson. It was said that he treated Michael before he went on trial in 2004 on the count charge of child abuse of which he was discharged and acquitted.

The presence of AIDS in the 1980s became a thing of concern as it began to spread in vast cities in the United States, such as New York and other major cities. Bowman kept preaching his testimonies, claiming that his herbal products could treat and even cure the dreaded disease and that HIV was not the cause of AIDS.

In the year 1987, Bowman faced more trouble as he was arrested and then charged in New York for carrying out medical practices without a license. The jury set him free, stating that the state had failed to convince the court and provide any real proof of him making a medical diagnosis. In the year 1990, he was then tried and found guilty in a New York court on account of him making claims of therapeutic gains for his herbal products. Due to this, he was then banned from making such testimonies. It was after this lawsuit, he then decided to move to Los Angeles, California.

The Arguments Surrounding his Arrest and Death

Bowman kept encountering trouble. On the 28th of May 2016, he and his associate Pablo Medina Gamboa were arrested on the charge of money laundering at the airport in Honduras. The amount found on them was about $37,000 cash, and it was said that he could not explain the purpose of the enormous amount. They aroused suspicion when they wanted to switch from a commercial flight from the US to a private plane for a different destination in Honduras

He was shortly released while awaiting a court hearing scheduled for the 6th of June 2016. But the Public Ministerio re-arraigned him on the charge of money laundering and he was confined for several weeks in a prison in Honduras, where he later became ill, and the sickness worsened as time grew. The police, seeing the severity of his illness, then transported him to a hospital, where he later died of pneumonia on the 6th of August 2016 on his way to Hospital D’Antoni. His death can be traced to the poor condition of the jail and the length of time he spent in prison.

Many of his followers think that a conspiracy was made to silence Bowman once and for all. He was a big threat to the pharmaceutical industry since his methods and claims differed from the regular medical line of duty.

The Usha Healing Village in Honduras

Dr. Sebi became even more respected, and several people from all over the world came to his healing village as pilgrims. The village was set up in Honduras to function as a standard for the regulation and keeping of natural health. The village possesses a 200-degree alkaline Geo-thermal spring, where Dr. Sebi was able to divert the water flowing from the spring to a healing pool by building a dam.

The Mystery Behind the Pool

The PH value of the pool is 9.6 based on the ratio of the alkaline elements to the natural acidic elements. The body comprises of alkaline and acidic compounds, but functions best when it is in a state of slight alkaline to aid health and homeostasis. Since the body functions best in a state of slight alkalinity, the Geothermal spring which happens to be alkaline helps to reverse disease as it helps to flush out excess hydrogen and sets the body on a proper path by oxygenating it.

So, by just bathing and drinking the pure alkaline spring water, you deliberately boost your internal body system and thereby eradicate diseases.

Dr. Sebi and Michael Jackson

The year between 2003-2004, Michael Jackson’s case became worse as he needed a vast and reliable health solution following the disappointment he got from western medicines and therapies. He reached out to Dr. Sebi and began his treatment which took place at USHA village, and he has always seen Michael at that time. Michael was primarily brought for his dependency on pain killers because he needed quite a large dose to sleep, and Dr. Sebi kept treating Michael for about 6 months, but according to sources, Michael felt a lot better under treatment, and it required a longer period for him to recover fully.

The problem soon began as Jackson's camp failed to pay for the treatment and services Dr. Sebi provided, which accrued to a total of $380,000 United States dollars, and Dr. Sebi had to sue him for that.

According to Dr. Sebi, "He was taking pills to sleep. He couldn't sleep Sebi said of Jackson's illness. He was shaking. I've seen it so many times before, because I experienced it myself, where the hands– You lose control. Because the central nervous system has been interfered with, with drugs. "How did I cure Michael Jackson? The way I cured many people before Michael Jackson by using the African bio-mineral cell food."

The case was later dismissed, but the significant improvement on Jackson's health was seen, which served as proof of the efficient healing process Dr. Sebi employed.

Much later Dr. Sebi treated Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopez who later died in Honduras working at Usha village. Lopez died in a car accident on the 25th of April 2002. The accident was caused by a truck as he tried dodging it, the car ended up tumbling several times after hitting two trees, throwing Lopez and three others through the windows and lastly coming to a final rest in a ditch beside the road. So sad as Lopez died on the spot due to neck injuries and severe head trauma and he was the only one seriously wounded in the accident. This was known due to the video clip recorded by the cameraman seated it the front seat which had the video coverage.

CHAPTER 3

The Importance of Detoxing and Revitalizing Your Body

The human body is always working to remove toxins and unwanted substances from several organs in the body. As time goes on, the human body gets weakened due to consumption of unhealthy foods, alcohols, drugs, caffeine, stress, and we can also add to the list. These environmental toxins are present everywhere due to the increase in industrial waste.

Despite the conscious effort, you might take in maintaining a healthy diet or lifestyle; several external factors always put our body’s system in an unhealthy state. Our body is then required to remove such factors that may prevent us from enjoying optimal health. When our essential and functional organs are made to work due to the presence of toxins, over time, they tend to get tired and become less efficient, and this may lead to illness.

Setting out time to cleanse the body system and help reduce the stress these organs undergo will go a long to prevent any further disease. This approach has immediate and visible effects such as increased energy level, clearer skin, faster and better digestion and so on. This now begs the question, what is detoxification?

Detoxification, often called detox, is the elimination of harmful, poisonous or toxic substances from the human body, through medical or physical means which is carried out mainly by the liver. It can be referred to the time frame of withdrawal which enables the organism to get back to homeostasis after a long duration of consuming additives. In medicine, detoxification can be facilitated by the removal of poisonous ingestion and the use of antidotes. Techniques such as dialysis and chelation therapy can also be used, but only in a few cases.

Where Do Toxins Come From?

In times past, we grew our food naturally making use of natural means such as fertilizers, composite manure, and pest control. That era is fading speedily as we now rely heavily on refined and packaged foods with lots of preservatives, factory-farmed meat, fish and milk.

The major problem is that this modern era of farming makes use of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers and enhanced hormones. Also, foods that are genetically modified (GMO) permits the use of many herbicides and pesticides. Genetically modified foods and their well-spread products have increased the levels of toxins we consume.

These toxins, when combined with air-borne pollutants such as carbon monoxide from the exhaust pipes of cars, pollutants from manufacturing companies, and Agricultural wastes and pollutants disposed of in our water bodies, can prove catastrophic. Our drinking water also contain traces of chemicals such as chlorine used in treating the drinking water.

Types of Detoxification

Alcohol Detoxification: Alcohol detoxification is a process whereby your body system that contains too much alcohol is cleansed and brought back to its normal state. Alcohol addiction results in the devaluation of GABA neurotransmitter receptors, and a hasty removal from long term alcohol addiction without proper medical administration, can lead to severe and fatal health problems. Treatment of alcoholism is not alcohol detox, but after detoxification, other treatment should be undergone to scrap the addiction caused by alcohol usage.

Drug Detoxification: Drug detoxification is used by clinicians to bring down withdrawal symptoms while it helps an addicted individual adjust to living without the use of drugs. Drug detoxification stands for early steps within long term treatment, but does not aim to treat addiction. Detoxification can be accomplished without using drugs or may use medications as a part of treatment. Drug detoxification and treatment often occur in community programs that last some months, and it also takes place in residence locations instead of a medical center. Drug detoxification changes reliance on the placement of treatment, but some of the detox centers provide treatment to avert the symptoms of physical withdrawal from alcohol and other drugs, these additions include therapy and counselling during detox to help with the effect of withdrawal.

The moment you realize an imbalance in your health; then that is the right moment to reclaim it. But it is always difficult when the kickbacks gotten from long gluttony literally weighs heavy on you, in this case, a detox can be beneficial as an adequate remedy. People experience lethargy due to lack of sleep, being too low on energy and not being active in everyday activities. Definitely, you will want to rejuvenate your whole system and carry out some detoxification processes on your body and mind.

Below are some of the best ways to achieve this;

According to Mary McGuire of the American Yogini in Rosenberg, New York’s American Yogini “Just like the spring and winter cleaning you do for your home, it’s great to do the same with your body and detoxify twice a year as the seasons change.”

For you to detoxify yourself, it means you have some reasonable level of discipline and dedication. According to past detoxers, they testify on how it enhanced their energy, and increased their mental clarity and even caused their skin to glow. If you are new to detoxing, best results come to those who go on a retreat for a few days and experience a lifestyle completely different from their everyday edible toxins. You are advised to consume foods such as grains, fish, fiber, and forgo meat and instead concentrate on fresh, organic fruits and vegetable juice, and this will be a lot simpler to maintain when you are far from home.

Just a three-to five-day retreat brings back good energy, stress-free sleep and general good feeling, and some persons get to lose 5-7 lbs. within a week and up to 20 lbs. within two weeks. After the first three days of tasking discipline, people experience hunger pangs, cravings, and nausea due to the disappearance of low blood sugar.

Is Your Body in Need of a Detox?

Below are some signs to look out for;

You get tired quickly due to stress.

You feel constant headaches and a reduction in mental clarity.

You sometimes experience skin breakouts and blemishes, not bright and have a poor complexion.

You feel heavy due to excess body weight.

You continuously experience depression, due to unstable emotions and you lack the required energy to carry on, also you have low enthusiasm for life generally.

You sometimes experience bad breath and body odor no matter how often you brush your teeth or bathe.

How to Naturally Detox Your Body?

Although we have different reasons to detox, the primary purpose of detoxification in general, is to eliminate toxins from the body system. The major organ in the body responsible for detoxification is the liver, which is said to be the filter for the blood by purging out toxins and removing them from the body system.

The formation of toxins in the body can limit the liver from functioning at its peak. When you implement detoxifying routines into your lifestyle, it will aid the liver and other vital organs to purify the blood and other organs to function optimally. We get bombarded by toxins daily because they are present in the air we inhale, the cleaning agents, the cosmetic products, the water we use for drinking and bathing, and the food we eat (mostly those in sealed cans).

An increased level of mental stress also increases the toxic load on our system. The moment there is an accumulation; eventually, you may experience signs and symptoms from a massive spread of inflammation in the body which is the foundation of several chronic illnesses. Naturally, our body can fight these toxins; still, it is well established to believe that our body's healing capability can get overwhelmed and might then require an enhancement process such as the detox process to overcome the toxic effects. There are several ways of enhancing the body process, such as dieting control and other personal care routines.

Body Detox Benefits

The application of detox in a healthy way can be an excellent step to improve your body’s state. This could help attend to newly found symptoms and likely reverse the chance of the toxins causing you more damage. Below are some positive after-detox changes you may experience.

Increased Energy

When you get rid of pollutants and waste from your body system by consuming detoxifying nutrients, you feel lighter and more energized, with less inflammation, enhance digestion, and adequate hydration adds to the revitalizing effect.

Feeling Less Stressed

When undergoing a body detox, there is a simultaneous stress trigger elimination process going on, such as deep sleep and a diet high in refined carbs and caffeine. Also, a deliberate self-care can reduce mental tension, while detoxes help free physical congestion and toxins.

Weight Loss

Most times, you are deprived of the dependence and cravings connected to processed foods and added sugar that often results in weight gain. Reduced stress in combination with a conscious act on food choices and portions can also help you lose some pounds.

Happier Gut

Detoxes can help improve the liver's cleansing capabilities. If the liver is less functional, we might get gas, bloating, and constipation in our system.

How to Detox Your Body?

It is widely known that celebrities are mostly famous for body detoxes that comprise (leech therapy, fasting or colonic irrigation). Yet, not every approach focused on combating the building up of impurities, because it is so tricky.

Below are methods backed by experts on ways to reduce the toxins in the body. You should also know that several methods of detox have not been well evaluated. Hence, their absolute outcome is not indeed known so it will be wise before you perform any detoxification, that it has to be recommended by a physician. Some persons such as nursing mothers, pregnant women or patients with persistent ailments may be restricted on some types of detox or level of detox.

Dry Brushing

This method is gotten from the ancient healing system of Ayurveda, the use of natural dry brush or shower gloves to exfoliate your skin just before going in the shower can be very helpful. It helps to slough off dead skin cells, thus enabling the pores on the surface to open and then serve as an escape path for toxins.

Also, the massaging action on the skin aids the dislodging of toxins into the body’s circulation, readying them for removal, then follow your shower with an excellent moisturizing organic body oil. This method is quick and easy, and It helps with detoxification both externally and internally. The moment you invest in brushes; you are a step closer.

Souping

This is sometimes called "the new juicing," souping entails you eating heavy-nutrient, little-calorie hot or cold plant prepared soups as well as nourishing bone broths. Souping is a surer way to take in much of the protective nutrients and fiber, which becomes the scrubbing brush that eliminates potential toxins from the colon. The length of days to consume mainly soup for sustenance depends primarily on your plans.

Key Potential Advantages:

Unlike other juice cleanses, souping gives fiber and a fulfilling chew and does not subject you to sugar and cravings you get from the regular fruit juice.

The liquid and the fiber are satisfying, so you are not going to be hungry.

It is almost impossible for many persons to consume only vegetables, which gives anti-inflammatory and antioxidant power. Souping provides you with that ease to get all these benefits.

Getting Enough Sleep

it is medically advised that we get a 7-9 hours of night sleep, but on the contrary, many of us for one reason or the other cannot achieve this. A study shows that the space between brain cells may increase during sleep, letting fluid within the brain move more freely through the brain and wash out waste that builds during waking hours. These include toxic proteins that are connected to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, but with a regular good night sleep, your brain gets to function better.

Key Potential Advantages:

Good sleep may help kill Alzheimer’s.

It helps to enhance mental alertness; reduces brain fog.

BOOK 5 - Doctor Sebi’s Cure for Herpes

How to Cure Herpes Simplex Virus with Dr. Sebi’s Alkaline diet

Belinda Goleman

CHAPTER 1

Introduction

Herpes simplex viruses (HSV) is a sexually transmitted disease, that is ubiquitous, and has been in existence for millions of years. The existence of this virus in the human body system can cause different kinds of ailments, ranging from diseases that affect the mucus membranes and skin to more severe ailments that disrupt the central nervous system (CNS) and may eventually lead to death, especially in patients with a compromised immune system.  Doctors that specialise in different fields of medicine will often come across patients that are infected and require treatment from the herpes simplex virus disease.

The late Dr. Sebi developed a plant-based diet, called Dr. Sebi’s alkaline diet, to help rejuvenate the cells and maintain the pH of the body’s system, which it achieves by eliminating toxic waste from the body through alkalising the blood. This alkaline diet is all about eating a short list of prescribed foods alongside taking many supplements.

Dr. Sebi developed this diet not just for naturally curing and preventing diseases alone, but to also improve the overall health of the body without having to rely on western medications.

Dr. Sebi discovered that disease is a result of mucus build-up in a part or organ of the body. For example, mucus builds up in the lungs and results in pneumonia, while excess mucus in the pancreas results in diabetes. His alkaline diet consists of a detailed list of recommended fruits, vegetables, grains, seeds, nuts, herbs, and oils. Also, animal products are prohibited; the Dr. Sebi diet is considered to be a vegan diet.

Is Herpes Simplex Virus Entirely a Sexually Transmitted Disease?

Herpes simplex virus can be transmitted sexually and non- sexually. Herpes simplex virus 1 is mostly contracted orally and thereby commonly referred to as oral herpes. It can be contracted by using the same drinking cup with an infected person, kissing or any type of lip contact with someone who has the virus. Herpes simplex virus-2 can only be contracted through the genital organs, so anybody who is sexually active can contract herpes simplex virus - 2.

Herpes simplex virus can be self-detected; once you observe any of the symptoms, the Dr. Sebi alkaline diet is a recommended medication for you.

CHAPTER 2

Dr. Sebi Fundamentals

Dr. Sebi’s alkaline diet is a list of some prescribed foods and a lot of supplements that were also discovered and produced by Dr. Sebi. His diet emphasises consuming foods and supplements that decrease disease-causing mucus by creating an alkaline state in the body. Dr. Sebi grouped his fundamentals into six; they are listed below.

Dr Sebi believed that there were six fundamental food groups:

Live

Raw

Dead

Hybrid

Genetically modified

Drugs.

Dr Sebi’s diet practically cuts out all the food groups except live and raw, encouraging people on the diet to eat as close to a raw vegan diet as possible. These foods include naturally grown vegetables and fruits, as well as whole grains.

Dr. Sebi referred to raw foods as  “electric," which can fight the acidic food waste in the body. Dr. Sebi developed a list of foods that he considered to be the best for his diet and named this the Dr. Sebi Electric Food List. Although Dr. Sebi has since died, the Dr .Sebi product list continues to evolve and increase.

Strictly following Dr. Sebi's diet and the Dr. Sebi Food List can be challenging most times, mostly if you always eat out. To be able to follow it judiciously, you should get used to preparing a lot of vegan diet meals at home with ingredients like wild rice, agave syrup, olive oil, etc.

CHAPTER 3

Types of Herpes Simplex Virus and Its Symptoms

There are mainly two types of herpes;

Patients suffering from herpes can either be diagnosed with (HSV-1) herpes simplex virus type 1 or (HSV-2) herpes simplex virus type 2. These two types of herpes have different symptoms and different mode of transmission. HSV-1 is transmitted majorly by oral contact with an infected person; this causes infection in or around the mouth (oral herpes).  Meanwhile, HSV-1 can be contracted through oral to genital contact to cause disease in or around the genital area (genital herpes).

HSV-2 is nearly always transmitted totally through genital-to-genital contact during sex, causing infection in the genital or anal area (genital herpes).

Both types of herpes are almost not recognised until the severe stage of oral herpes infections, and genital herpes infections are mostly unrecognised. The symptoms may include blisters, boils and itching in the pubic area.

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1)

HSV-1 is an STI that is common and endemic throughout the world, and it is a highly contagious infection. Most patients suffering from  HSV-1 diseases contracted it during childhood, and the condition takes longer to heal. About 70% of patients suffering from HSV-1 diseases have oral herpes (infections in or around the mouth, also known as orolabial), but a proportion of 30-40 percent of patients with HSV-1 diseases have genital herpes (infections in the genital or anal area).

Signs and symptoms

Most people with oral herpes are not aware they have this disease because it is asymptomatic. That is to say; the symptoms are not evident after it is contacted. Some symptoms of oral herpes include painful blisters or open sores called ulcers in or around the mouth. Before the sores appear, the infected person most likely will feel a tingling, itching, or burning sensation in or around their mouth, and the sores on the lips are commonly referred to as "cold sores.”  The blisters and ulcers occur typically after the first infection. The speed of the development of the virus depends on the body system of the patient.

The asymptomatic nature of HSV-1 can cause genital herpes in the body system of an individual to be undetected or have mild symptoms. Genital and anal blisters or ulcers are the symptoms to detect genital herpes. Genital herpes can reoccur in the body of a patient who has been previously treated. Although, genital herpes caused by HSV-1 typically does not often reoccur, unlike genital herpes caused by herpes simplex virus type 2.

Transmission

The mode of transmission for HSV-1 is mainly by oral-to-oral contact to cause oral herpes infection, through contact with the herpes simplex virus 1 in sores, saliva, and surfaces in or around the mouth. More so, oral contact to the genital area can transmit HSV-1to the genital area to cause genital herpes.

Even when there is no symptoms present, and the skin and oral surfaces appear normal, HSV-1 can still be transmitted. More so, there is a greater risk of transmission when the sore is visible and active. Patients who are infected with HSV-1 oral herpes may not be infected with HSV-1 genital herpes. In rare occasions, HSV-1 genital herpes can be transmitted from an infected mother to her child during childbirth, causing neonatal herpes.

Possible complications

Patients with a compromised immune system can have more severe symptoms and complications, for instance, HIV patients. In rare occasions, HSV-1 can lead to severe diseases such as keratitis (eye infection) or encephalitis (brain infections).

Neonatal herpes

A baby can be exposed to neonatal herpes during delivery in the genital tract of the mother, if she is infected with HSV(HSV-1 or HSV-2). Neonatal herpes rarely occurs, but it is a severe condition that can lead to death or lasting neurological disability. Neonatal herpes happens in an estimated 1 out of 10,000 deliveries.

Mothers who contracted genital herpes before conception are at low risk of transmitting herpes to their babies. The risk of neonatal herpes is very high when a mother contracts HSV for the first time in late pregnancy, partly because the concentration of HSV in the genital tract are highest early in an infection.

.

Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2)

HSV-2 infection is almost entirely sexually transmitted, causing genital herpes and is widespread throughout the world.  HSV-2 is incurable and lasts for a lifetime. It is the major cause of genital herpes, which can also be caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). Genital herpes caused by HSV-2 is a worldwide infection. In 2006, by estimation (13%) of people aged 15 to 49 years worldwide were living with the disease, with more women than men.  The reason being that sexual transmission of herpes is more effective from men to women than from women to men.

Signs and symptoms

In the initial stage of genital herpes infections, there are often no symptoms or maybe mild symptoms that go unrecognised. This makes most infected people unaware they have contracted the disease. Categorically,  10-20% of people with an HSV-2 infection, have been previously diagnosed with genital herpes. Some patients may have symptoms of HSV-2 in the early stages, depending on their body system and mechanism.

The symptoms of genital herpes are as follows: genital or anal blisters; open sores called ulcers.  Symptoms of genital herpes in the early stages may be swelled lymph nodes, body aches, and fever. Before the appearance of genital ulcers, people with HSV-2 may experience shooting pain in the legs, hips, and buttocks as well as a sensation of mild tingling in these regions.

HSV-2 is mainly transmitted through sex, body fluids and skin sores. In rare occasions, HSV-2 infection can be transmitted from a mother to child during delivery causing neonatal herpes.

Possible complications

HSV-2 and HIV

HSV-2 and HIV have been discovered to have a great impact on each other.  A patient with HSV-2 infection is by threefold at an increased risk of contracting a new HIV infection. Also, people infected with both HIV and HSV-2 have higher chances of spreading HIV to others. HSV-2 is one of the most common infections in HIV patients, occurring in 60-90% of HIV-infected people.

In advanced HIV conditions, HSV-2 can result in a more severe, but rare, complications such as retinal necrosis, meningoencephalitis, hepatitis, esophagitis,  pneumonitis, or disseminated infection.

CHAPTER 4

A New Way to Treat Herpes

Know that HSV is a viral disease, and like every other viral disease, there is no known cure for it. The precaution taken is to heal or drastically reduce the symptoms. When the symptoms are gone, that does not mean the virus is gone. Without proper medications, the symptoms may come back.

Assuredly, you will be able to reduce inflammation, irritation, and other symptoms through a combination of lifestyle changes, dietary changes, and supplements. Dr. Sebi, in his lifetime, discovered some essential diets, natural medications and supplements for proper management of most stubborn diseases HSV inclusive. These natural diets and medications are tested and trusted and are comprised of simple fruits and herbs around you that will go a long way in easing the swellings, stinging, and itching.

CHAPTER 5

Is Dr. Sebi’s Herpes Cure Effective?

Dr. Sebi, in his research, found out inflammation can happen when the alkalinity of the blood is altered, and the body system is too acidic and thereby cannot fight ailments and diseases. There are a lot of testimonies that say Dr. Sebi’s alkaline diet is very effective and has healed many and helped others clear every existing symptom of HSV in their body system.

By consistently following his prescriptions of diet and supplements, you will detoxify and restore your body to its natural alkaline state. Dr. Sebi insists that for your body to heal itself, you must judiciously follow the diet throughout your lifetime.

This diet is low in protein; therefore, it does not contain beans, lentils, and soy products. 

Dr. Sebi’s supplements promise to cleanse your body and nourish your cells is about different supplements which cleanse and restore the body at a fast rate.

The "all-inclusive" package is highly recommended for buyers, which contains 20 different products that are claimed to cleanse.

Dr. Sebi’s diet has eight rules you must follow. They are centred on avoiding animal products and ultra-processed foods. The diet does not encourage eating an exotic diet, which is high in ultra-processed foods which are loaded with salt, sugar, fat, and calories, but that you should eat all natural foods. 

Potential benefits of the Dr. Sebi diet:

It is strongly based on plant-based foods.

The diet encourages large consumption of fibre, minerals, vitamins, and plant compounds.

Inflammation and oxidative stress are drastically reduced because these fruit and vegetables contain agents that facilitate as well as protect users from getting other diseases.

Moreover, the Dr. Sebi’s diet is majorly eating fibre-rich whole grains and healthy fats, such as nuts, seeds, and plant oils. These foods make it more difficult to contract herpes and make it more comfortable to heal.

Dr. Sebi’s diet is low in calories, except for avocados, seeds, and oils even when you eat in large amount most foods on this diet are low in calories, except for nuts, seeds, avocados, and oils. So even when it is consumed in large quantity, there are no chances for obesity.

Dr. Sebi’s diet emphasises eating nutrient-rich vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and healthy fats, which may decrease inflammation, and other diseases.

CHAPTER 6

Dr. Sebi’s Approach to a Herpes Cure

Dr. Sebi, in his researches, discovered that diseases and pathogens do not survive in an alkaline environment, so to keep the body from getting herpes, the blood alkaline level should be high. Consumption of a diet that contains electrolytes that will help increase the body’s immune system and retain its alkalinity is of necessity also. The first approach to HSV is to reduce the inflammations, irritations, sores, and other symptoms by a mixing a couple of lifestyle changes mentioned below.

Warm compress -- Apply heat to reduce the pain of the sores that are forming or sores that had already formed will go a long way in reducing the swellings. A dry, warm compress can be made by microwaving a sock half-filled with rice for about 40 secs to 1min.

Cool compress – This can also work for reducing swelling. Place an ice pack on the swollen area or a clean washcloth filled with ice will do. Apply at four hour intervals.

Baking soda paste – This helps in relieving the itching and in drying up the lesions. To prepare this,  dip a wet cotton ball into a small amount of pure baking soda and dab on the affected area.

Corn starch paste - Corn starch paste can also be used to relieve itching and dry out the lesions. Dip a wet cotton ball or Q-tip into a small amount of corn starch, and apply it onto the sore

Topical garlic – Dr. Sebi suggests that garlic has alkaline and anti-viral properties against both strains of herpes. Crush up a fresh clove of garlic and mix it with olive oil to dilute. Apply this mixture on the affected area for up to three days.

Topical apple cider vinegar (ACV) – ACV contains anti-inflammatory and anti-viral properties.  So, mix one-part ACV with three-parts warm water and apply to the affected area.

How to follow the Dr. Sebi diet:

Rule 1. Dr. Sebi’s diet should be your main course meal

Rule 2.  Drink a lot of water every day, nothing less than 3.5 litres daily.

Rule 3.  Dr. Sebi’s supplements should be taken an hour before any medications.

Rule 4. No animal products are permitted.

Rule 5. No alcohol is allowed.

Rule 6. Abstain from wheat products and only consume the “natural-growing grains” listed in the guide.

Rule 7. The microwave should not be used to prevent killing the nutrients in your food.

Rule 8. Abstain from canned or seedless fruits.

CHAPTER 7

Dr. Sebi's Herpes Cure

Diet changes

In the world today, you find out that most of the foods we consume, are already processed and at times canned. These foods are not entirely bad, but they already contain some preservatives and chemicals that are not necessarily healthy for the body. So, the first step to curing any disease is to eat natural foods, fruits, and vegetables.

These naturals foods have no side effects and will help neutralise toxicity from your system. You must boost your immune system by striving to follow the recommended diet and avoiding some ingredients; doing this will help your body to be able to fight off the herpes simplex virus. Changing your diet will help in preventing herpes outbreaks in your system.

This specific nutrient guide is low in protein, as it does not contain beans, lentils, animal, and soy products. In addition to this diet, you are expected to buy Dr. Sebi's cell food supplements to cleanse and nourish your body and your cells.

Anti-oxidant rich veggies - Consume vegetables that are rich in antioxidants, as they will boost your immune system and also help in minimising inflammation. Veggies like cauliflower, tomatoes, kale, and spinach are rich in free radicals binding anti-oxidants and also contain more lysine than arginine. This amino acid in this proportion helps in suppressing herpes.

Omega-3 fatty acid -  Salmon,  flaxseed, mackerel, and chia seeds are rich in omega-3-fatty acids. These fatty acids help your immune system fight severe inflammatory conditions.

Protein - Your diet should contain little protein and no saturated fats, Consuming foods such as oats, almonds, and eggs in healthy levels balances your body system and fights off the herpes virus and other pathogens.

Vitamin C – A sufficient level of vitamin C helps in reducing the time interval between herpes outbreaks and with time, heals herpes outbreaks.

Colourful vegetables and fruits such as bell peppers, oranges, strawberries, papaya and mango are very rich in vitamin C, without adding a high amount of lysine to your diet.

• Zinc - Zinc therapy reduces the number of herpes outbreaks you have and gives you a long time between outbreaks. Foods that contain Zinc are as follows, wheat germ, and chickpeas.

Vitamin B complex - B vitamins can be gotten from foods like broccoli, spinach, and eggs. These can boost your immune response to help your body fight the herpes simplex virus.

•       L-arginine - Abstain from foods that contain high levels of arginine whenever and however you can. Chocolate is incredibly rich in this amino acid, and this amino acid can trigger herpes symptoms. If you so desire to satisfy your sweet cravings, then do so with a vitamin-dense option like dried mango or apricots, instead.

•       Added sugar - Your body converts sugars to acid. Abstain entirely from sugar and foods high in added sugar and consider eating fruits, like bananas and oranges, for your desserts.

Processed or preservative heavy - Canned and all processed foods, in general, contains synthetic preservatives that may contribute to oxidative stress. Healing during outbreaks can be more effective when oxidative stress is minimal. Abstain totally from these processed foods as well as freezer meals and also refrain from grain products and candies in your diet.

Alcohol  - Alcohol breaks down in your body and increases the sugar level in your blood, and when sugar consumption is high, it causes white blood cell suppression and drastically reduces the ability of your system to fight disease — which can make outbreaks more likely.

Topical Herbs, Oils, and Other Solutions

Some topicals, can help speed up healing, relieve itching, and numb discomfort when used correctly.

Undiluted topical ingredients can burn through your skin barrier. Examples of such ingredients are essential oils. Carrier oil, like coconut and jojoba oil, ensure the safety of using topical ingredients.

You should first of all test run it on another area of the body before performing a full application. This is a safety measure put in place to ensure that you are not applying an irritating substance to a part of the body that is already sensitive.

Perform simple patch test by following this guide below:

Rub the topical on your forearm.

Observe for 24 hours.

If  you feel any irritation, itching or inflammation wash the area thoroughly and never use it again.

If you don't observe any symptoms in 24 hours, then it is safe enough to apply to any affected areas of the body.

Get a carrier for the following topicals: essential oils (ginger, tea tree, thyme, eucalyptus, chamomile) witch hazel, lemon balm extract and neem extract.

Tea tree oil - Tea tree oil is a very efficient anti-viral ingredient that has been proven to cure genital herpes. In the cure for HSV, tea tree oil must be diluted with a carrier oil before you use it on the sores.

Witch Hazel-  Significantly witch hazel contains anti-viral properties. Some people have the ability to use pure witch hazel without experiencing any irritation, while others react to it. You should use a diluted solution if your skin is sensitive.

Aloe vera - Contains wound-accelerating properties. And these properties have the ability to heal herpes lesions. Pure aloe vera gel can also be applied directly to every part of the body; it does not need to be diluted.

Manuka Honey- Topical application of manuka honey is almost as effective as acyclovir at treating HSV-1 and HSV-2. Manuka honey does not need a carrier oil and can be applied directly without dilution.

Goat milk - Goat milk contains anti-viral properties that also work against herpes simplex. Apply on the affected area without dilution.

Chamomile essential oil - Some research suggests that chamomile essential oil has soothing and virus-fighting properties that may help treat HSV-2, and it must be diluted with a carrier oil.

Ginger essential oil - Ginger essential oil has the potential to kill the herpes virus on contact, and it must be diluted with a carrier oil.

Thyme essential oil - Thyme essential oil also has the potential to fight the herpes virus, and it should be diluted using a carrier oil.

Greek sage oil - Greek sage oil also helps in fighting the herpes virus, and it should be diluted with a carrier oil.

Eucalyptus oil-  Eucalyptus oil can be very effective to cure herpes. It also soothes and promotes healing, and it must be diluted with a carrier oil.

Mexican oregano oil- Mexican oregano oil contains carvacrol, a powerful anti-viral ingredient, and it must be diluted with a carrier oil.

Lemon balm extract - Lemon balm extract is an oil virtually for outbreaks and reduces the risk of transmission, and it needs to be diluted with a carrier oil before use.

Combined sage and rhubarb extract- It is also very essential in treating HSV-1, and this mixture should be diluted with a carrier oil before use.

Licorice extract - Licorice contains an active ingredient that has an anti-viral and anti-inflammatory ability. These properties make licorice extract an effective treatment for herpes outbreaks. It can be applied directly without dilution.

Echinacea extract - Echinacea extract is a very useful anti-viral that can fight against both strains of herpes simplex and it's also an anti-inflammatory, which may soothe existing outbreaks. It can be used without dilution.

Neem extract - Pure Neem extract is very viable and may burn your skin if not diluted. You have to cut it with a carrier oil.

Tips For Outbreak Management.

To manage a cold sore,  follow the steps below:

Discard your current toothbrush and get a new one.

Ensure you take a lot of vitamin C, and zinc supplements, especially when you are highly stressed.

Protect your skin from wind, sun, and cold exposure with hypoallergenic clear lip balm.

Avoid sharing cups or drinks during the outbreak.

Avoid popping, draining, or interfering with the cold sore while it’s healing.

How to Manage Genital Herpes Outbreak.

Always wear cotton underclothing and loose clothing in general.

Always take long warm showers and keep the affected area clean and dry at all times.

Avoid soaking in hot tubs or baths.

Abstain from sex. You can spread the virus even if you use a condom.

CHAPTER 9

Conclusion

The social stigma and psychological stress that may occur as a result of the recurrent symptoms of oral herpes can be very uncomfortable. Although some of these factors can have a significant impact on quality of life and sexual relationships, most people with either kind of herpes can adjust to living with the infection.

Topicals that do not need to be diluted with a carrier oil are preferred: Aloe vera, honey, licorice extract, manuka, and echinacea extract. In most cases, herpes will not produce any symptoms, especially in the early stages, but if you observe any symptom, it is healthy to abstain from oral, anal, or vaginal sex. Some of the protective barrier methods and barriers, e.g. condoms, tend to help and offer protection during sex, but the risk of transmission is still very high.

For herpes simplex outbreaks, the first is normally very severe and worse with deep pain in the affected area, but not in all cases. Some people may experience outbreaks very mildly that they hardly take notice of it. In cases of genital herpes where the individual experiences mild outbreaks, more severe outbreaks are likely to occur in a couple of years, and the patient may mistake it for being the first one.

Most people experience one HSV outbreak, but for others, they experience more than one, because the virus becomes more active. When an individual experiences more than one outbreak, it is called a recurrence. This is observed mostly in the first year of infection because the body has been thrown off balance. But, with Dr. Sebi's nutritional diet and supplement, the immune system of your body is increased, and your body begins to build and increase its defences against the virus by creating more antibodies.

There are almost no complications for healthy people with herpes simplex virus. Complications are observed mainly in people suffering from terminal diseases like cancer, AIDS, etc., as well as unborn babies, newborns, and people who have had an organ transplant. If you are in any of these categories and are diagnosed with herpes, you should change your diet, and start with the medications in the initial segment of this book immediately.

Then read further as this book methodology comes from a man who was a biochemist, naturalist, pathologist and herbalist before his death. He has done extensive research on herbs and has formulated this methodology using the alkaline diet to cure all forms of diseases. Dr Sebi always held the belief that mucus in one's body is responsible for every disease, including smoking. This book will help cure you of the smoking disease.

Chapter One

Who Is Dr Sebi?

Dr Sebi whose real name is Alfredo Darrington Bowman was a self-proclaimed healer and herbalist from Honduran who practised his craft between the late 20th and early 21st centuries in the United States. Although, he was considered a quack doctor by attorneys, licensed doctors and consumer protection agencies in the United States because he had no formal medical training. Bowman believed that through vegan diets and herbs, he could cure all disease. These claims did not sit well with modern medicines and its practices since there was no scientific evidence backing it.

Bowman was arrested in New York and accused of practising medicine without a license. After being tried in a Supreme Court, he was later acquitted of all charges. Bowman was later forbidden from making therapeutic claims for his supplements after he was charged in a civil suit.

Bowman on May 2016, was arrested in Honduras after tens of thousands of dollars in cash was found in his possession without sufficient accounting of its origin. It was during his time in jail after being detained for several weeks that he contracted pneumonia and was declared dead on en route to the hospital. He died on August 6, 2016 (aged 82) in police custody.

Early years

Being of African descent, Bowman was born in Ilanga, Honduras in 1933. It was his grandmother who exposed him to the world of herbal healing and traditional practices. As an adult, Bowman never identified himself as an African Honduran but as an "African in Honduras". His grandfather was an immigrant from Haiti.

Since western medical practices could not treat Bowman's illness such as diabetes, asthma, visual impairment and impotency, Bowman became displeased and such visited a herbalist named Alfredo Cortez in Mexico. According to Bowman, Cortez confirmed his illness and healed him.

Bowman began his practice after that in Honduras. Developing the “African Bio-Electric Cell Food Therapy” treatment and other herbal products which he claimed could cure cancer and AIDS, mental illness and other chronic and wide range of diseases. In 1980 near La Ceiba, Honduras, a center was set-up by Bowman where he marketed his herbal products in the United States. Bowman encountered legal opposition to his medical and therapeutic claims when he moved to New York City. Bowman claimed that his supplements could cure cancer and AIDS. Bowman later relocated his center USHA Research Institute located in the village of Usha to California.

Career

Bowman’s diet and food therapy was based on a discredited alkaline diet. This is according to McGill University. He believes that the major cause of every disease is mucus. Bowman went on to develop a wide range of client who were especially celebrities with the likes of Michael Jackson, John Travolta, Steven Seagal, Eddie Murphy and Lisa Lopes. With the advice he gave to these celebrities, Bowman started earning more than $3000 per day. Before Michael Jackson went on trial in 2004 on charges of child abuses which he was later acquitted, it was reported that Bowman treated him.

During the advent of AIDS in the early 1980s, Bowman claimed that HIV is not the cause of AIDS. And that with the aid of herbal remedies, he has treated people with AIDS. This is the same period where most of the cases of AIDS were found in New York and some major cities in the United States.

In New York (1987), Bowman was arrested for practising medicine without license. He was later released by the jury. Later in the 1990s, he was sued in New York and forbidden from making claims of therapeutic benefits for his products. Bowman relocated to Los Angeles where he built his celebrities clientele base.

On May 28, 2016, at the Juan Manuel Galvez Airport, Bowman and his associate Pablo Medina Gamboa were arrested on money laundering charges. They were found to be in possession of $ 37,000 in cash with no explanation as to its origin. They were caught as they tried to move from a commercial flight to a private plane in the United States for Honduras. Bowman was later released but would soon be re-arrested on money charges by the Public Ministerio on June 6, 2016. He fell ill while he was held in a Honduran prison. On August 6, 2016, Bowman passed away while en route to Hospital D’Antoni after the severity of illness was realized by the police. He died of complications of pneumonia. The news of his arrest and death did not sit well with some of his followers who sensed that he was silenced because his methods and teachings differed from normal medical practices; and that he was a major threat to the pharmaceutical industry.

Chapter Two

A New Way To Stop Smoking

Instead of the normal method of stopping smoking whereby you start off with the feeling of climbing Mount Everest then spend the next few weeks desiring a cigarette or even envying other smokers. You will start off right with an elated feeling as though you were cured of a terrible disease. You will come to the place in your life where you are even amazed at yourself for puffing a cigarette. All that would be left is empathy for others still struggling to stop and not envy. This is the goal of this chapter. To create in you that mindset that stopping is so much easier than most persons thinks.

Not to appear contradictory but if you're a smoker, keep smoking till you are done reading this book. The reason for this is that you will come to the realization that smoking does nothing for you. As a matter of fact, it's in the deprivation of cigarette that a smoker yearns for it the more. When allowed, the smoker wonders why he/she is smoking and what contribution smoking has on him whenever he smokes. This tends to be a dilemma with smokers. So, let's say you were hooked and you believe you were hooked whether you like it or not, the only way you can properly concentrate or be able to relax is when you are puffing a cigarette. So, as you continue reading, your desire for a smoke will be reduced, that is why I asked you not to try to stop it in one shot because it could be fatal. Follow the instructions given in this chapter, and smoking will be a thing of the past for you.

1. Make the decision that you are not going to smoke again and stick to it

2. Do not be depressed about your decision, rather rejoice at it.

Smoking is a very subtle and sinister trap. The chemical addiction is not the problem here; it's in understanding the myths, delusion, and brainwashing that went with it that one can successfully stop smoking. You defeat your enemy only when you understand his tactics.

Ex-smokers would tell you that when they attempted to stop smoking, they went through weeks of depression. And when they became serious with their decision to stop, it became easy as the day went by, let’s say from a hundred a day to none, and this they did without slipping. Period of withdrawal even became enjoyable such that now they have no craving for smoking anymore. It is like a new life has been given to them. They are happy than they have ever been, and their life makes more sense now.

It is only when you have given this smoking problem a serious thought when it has certainly dawned on you that if you don't stop now, you'll probably be smoking for the rest of life. Only when this realization happens would you be able to see puffing a cigarette for what it is. It is filthy and adds nothing to your life.

Few Ex-smokers would tell you that they do experience that odd pangs for a smoke, but it's not worth bothering oneself about it. While others would tell you that they don't miss smoking because they are now living their best life now. They are able to cope with the strain and stress of life. They attend more social functions now than before and are not willing to give up this newfound freedom.

It is easy to stop smoking and not feel terrified about the withdrawal pangs, and that is the beautiful truth. Doubts and uncertainty are the factors that cause the pangs for a smoke while indecision and feeling depressed is what makes quitting very hard. Smokers who are nicotine-addicted can go a long period, living their life as normal without being bothered about it. You only get disturb and suffer when you want cigarette and can have one. 

Making stopping final and certain is the key to making it easy. Be certain from the start. Wishing and hoping doesn't cut it. Kick smoking out and stick with it, rejoicing at your decision. Consider these essential points before you start. 

1. You can achieve it: You need to realize this - You are the boss of yourself and equally the only person that can make you smoke that next cigarette.

2. You have nothing to lose but everything to gain - better health, more money saved, good looking as compared to being miserable. Consider these positive gains.

3. Smoking is a drug addiction: The earlier you get this clear in your head, the better. There is nothing like just one cigarette. You will only end up punishing yourself needlessly when you are moaning over that one cigarette.

4. As I earlier stated, see smoking as a drug addiction that needs to be cured now. Not a social habit that might only injure you.  You got the disease, and as with any disease, we don't just wish for it to go away, we do something about it here and now before it gets worse.

5. There should be a distinction between this chemical addiction and the frame of mind of being a smoker or ex-smoker. All smokers would jump at the opportunity if being given of going back to the time they were hooked. When you decide that the cigarette in your hand would be your last, it simply means that you're now an ex-smoker. Don't wait around for any special feelings. Go out there and enjoy your life without feeling depressed at your decision. You are no longer that wretched smoker destroying his/her life. You are now the one who sees the beauty of life and unwilling to give that up now.

The right frame of mind would greatly help you in abstaining from smoking during the 3 weeks of withdrawal periods after making that final decision to quit smoking.

If after discussing the above, you still have the feeling of gloom and doom, the following could be the reason

1. You fear you will not succeed. Don't worry about this fear. Just read on

Imagine smoking as a confidence trick on a very large scale. Only a fool who knew the trick before hand goes on kidding himself. While the intelligent ones just fall flat for the confidence trick. You will surely succeed as long as you get the fear of failure out of your mind.

2. Maybe what was discussed has not yet connected in your mind. Remove doubts from your mind. Do well to go over the five points enumerated above.

3. You are still feeling so miserable even though you totally agree with what was discussed. This in itself is a pointer that something is about to happen to you. So, cheer up because you have already shifted ground.

So, start in a right frame of mind, see yourself as a non-smoker and stay that way.

Chapter Three

Dr Sebi’s Approach To Quit Smoking

Approaches to smoking cessation include herbal supplements, and these supplements are taken to minimize cravings and nicotine withdrawal. These treatments help to repair tissues that have been damaged by smoking.

Among other things, green tea is the most common herbal remedy used to control cravings, and this can be taken throughout the day. During the detoxification period, green tea helps to keep the system flooded with elements that reduce the urge to smoke. Alongside green tea being used during the detoxification period, Lobelia tea can also be used. Since this herbal supplement can be harmful to your health when not properly used, it’s best to consult a medical professional before taking them.

Cigarettes block the absorption of important nutrients, such as vitamin C, vitamin D, and calcium. For example, smoking just one cigarette drains the body of 25mg of vitamin C. When you incorporate more vegetables and fruits into your diet, it will definitely restore these nutrients and, as some research has suggested, it may help with reducing the cravings to smoke. Once you stop smoking, food begins to taste better, and flavours are more noticeable.

Some research suggests that ginseng could be therapeutic for reducing nicotine addiction because it may weaken the effect of dopamine, a neurotransmitter in the brain associated with the pleasure, which is released when smoking tobacco. Drinking ginseng tea could reduce the urge to smoke, and also make it less enjoyable.

Smokers have reported that drinking milk made the taste of cigarettes even worse, most smokers admitted that it gave their cigarettes a bitter taste afterwards. When facing a craving, consuming milk and other dairy products can make cigarettes taste bad, and so it might help deter smokers from cigarettes.

Quitting smoking is associated with weight gain and you really do need to watch your diet, because you may find you are replacing cigarettes with good food, which keeps both your hands and mouth busy. Also, you may have been used to the appetite-suppressing, metabolism-enhancing effects of nicotine, and these factors make people weigh a little less when smoking compared to when they stop. If gaining weight is discouraging, then consider adding high fiber beans to your diet. Honey also plays an important role in the cessation process of smoking. It is loaded with beneficial vitamins, enzymes and proteins.

Chapter Four

The Importance Of Detox And Revitalizing Your Body

First off, congratulations are in order for quitting smoking. You have just completed the hardest part of the hurdle. The next thing is to detox the body from excess toxins accumulated over time. In order to clear your system from these harmful chemicals, herbal detox is the best method to employ, and the Dr. Sebi alkaline diet and recipes are full of detoxing chemicals.

Chemicals found in Cigarettes and their impact on your body

Every time you puffed a cigarettes, you inhaled thousands of toxins into your body, about 4,000 chemical agents and 60 carcinogens were inhaled into your lungs and transferred to all parts of your body through the bloodstream. Nicotine is the leading culprit in the development of lung cancer and it is the most common of these toxins. You were also at risk of developing stroke, heart disease, bladder cancer, cervical cancer, stomach cancer, and chronic bronchitis, as all these are numerous diseases that can come from smoking.

So, what is Detox and why it is important?

Detoxification is the method of ridding the body of excess toxins and supplements that might harm it. This goes beyond restricting yourself to a certain diet which most people do for a short period of time before returning to their old unhealthy ways. Detoxing is simply a fresh start. It is a way of cleansing our mind of toxic emotions and thought patterns. Detox helps improve mental state, digestion and health, and it also helps expel heavy metals from the body.

Since we live in a world where we are regularly exposed to toxins, detoxing is equally an opportunity to flush out toxic materials with the inclusion of toxic thoughts, patterns and emotions.

Detoxing also gives us the opportunity to put ourselves on pause and examine our lifestyles, habits, the food we consume, hygiene and everything in between.

Benefits of Detoxing After you stopped smoking

The following are also some of the benefits enjoyed by an ex-smoker:

Increased energy

Weight loss

Improved respiration

Metabolism-boosting usually associated with quitting

Looking younger, feeling younger

How to Detox your body

Now that you have quit smoking, to be on the safe side you have to implement herbal detox so as to clean out all major organs in your body. The reason is to prevent toxins which have built up over time to fester and put your body at risk. Any toxins not removed may adversely affect your health. Removing these harmful substances with the use of herbs and other natural processes will flush out toxins that are likely to be released through the skin, bowel movements and urine. Also, consuming fruits and vegetables in their whole form works wonders in ridding your body of toxins.

Chapter Five

Food You Should And Should Not Eat To Detox Your Body

Food To Eat

These foods help to curb the desire to smoke. They simply make smoking look bad by altering its taste. Food eaten when detoxing should be natural foods; such as

Fruits, vegetables, beans, seeds, whole-grains, and nuts are the best foods to eat when detoxing your system. In vegetables and fruits lies nutrients that are strong detoxifying agents and enzymes that helps improve digestion. Whole-grain, vegetables, fruits and beans help to remove toxins from the body through the bowel because they are rich in high fiber. Nuts and seeds help to activate the cells in your brain because of their richness in high fat-soluble vitamins. Nuts and seeds also improve the overall functioning of the brain cells. All these foods are rich in vitamins, minerals and high in antioxidants which helps to push out toxins by activating the whole body. Consuming this nutrient-rich food helps to improve the general well-being of the body. 

Full of vitamin C, lemons are the go-to fruit for those looking to detox. This antioxidant is great in fighting free-radicals. This can have a negative impact on the body. Lemons have an alkaline effect, which helps in restoring the body’s PH balance; hence, improving the body immune system. A simple slice of lemon in hot water is a good way to start your detox.

Ginger is another good detox food, as it aids in digestion, and it also reduces bloating and gas. It contains a large number of antioxidants which provides a good boost to your immunity.

Garlic, despite its strong smell, is great for detoxing your body. Having antiviral, antibacterial and antibiotic properties, and also containing allicin, it aids in white blood cell production, which helps to protect the body against infections. It is best consumed raw. When it is combined with onions, it helps your liver to produce enzymes specialized in removing toxins from your body.

Another great food is artichokes. They are full of antioxidants plus fiber. They help with the digestion of fatty foods, and they also stimulate liver function.

Watercress is considered to be one of the healthiest foods for a great detox. It contains antioxidants and several detoxifying nutrients such as vitamins, zinc and potassium. Watercress also has diuretic properties, and this helps to flush out toxins. Watercress can help eliminate cancer-causing chemicals from the body of a smoker.

Green Tea contains active ingredients. This help supports detox and provides additional health benefits. Green tea is packed with antioxidants that help rid the body of toxins. Green tea also boosts the performance of the liver and can protect the liver from disease.

Another great detox food is cabbage. Cabbage contains sulforaphane - A chemical which aids the body in the fight against toxins. Cabbage also contains glutathione - an antioxidant that helps promote liver function.

Cucumber is a good way to increase the water level in your body since it contains 90% of water; it also helps in digestion.

Supplementation: During the withdrawal and detoxification phase, many supplements are out there that can help smokers deal with it. An acidic urine increases the elimination of nicotine, thereby increasing the desire for more. At the same time, a diet rich in alkaline reduces the desire to smoke and also slows down the detoxification of nicotine.

Multivitamins: First, we need vitamin B, which is usually lacking in smokers. Mainly the B1, B6 and B12. B3 helps to open up the circulation constricted with nicotine. B3 also help reduce the risk of atherosclerosis by decreasing the cholesterol level in the body. In comparison, B12 helps to reduce the damage on  a cellular level caused by nicotine and tars.

Pantothenic acid help in reducing ageing of the skin. Coenzyme Q10, chlorine and folic acid are also important.

Other important minerals required for the detoxification period include zinc, magnesium, molybdenum and copper.

Food Not To Eat

It is in your best interest to know that certain foods exist that actually trigger and increase the desire to smoke. It is also important for you to plan ahead in order to manage those cravings if you must consume these foods. Caffeine, meat, dairy, alcohol and wheat are the worst foods in a detox diet. Alcohol is harmful to the liver and reduces the levels of detoxifying minerals such as zinc and magnesium.

Meat helps breed bacteria in your guts. It slows down digestion and clogs up the bowels. Wheat is dangerous to the lining of the intestines. This leads to poor nutrient intake. Taking gluten irritates the gut, which causes bloating, indigestion and constipation.

Milk, cheese and other dairy products lead to poor cell function. They slow down detoxification because they are acidic to the body, while caffeine leads to increased levels of toxins in the body.

Also, processed, packaged and frozen foods are high in salt, sugar, bad fats and artificial ingredients; and when detoxifying, these should be avoided.

A high salt diet is very bad for blood pressure. It slows down cell functioning as well as the detox process. While sugar in diet increases mood swings, it also causes brain fog and energy leaks and troughs. Sugar also fights against good bacteria which are in the gut - this leads to slower detoxification. Whereas bad fats cause strain on the liver and to your waistline, many artificial ingredients are made from petrochemicals. They are toxic to the liver, and they are hard to break down and detoxify.

Chapter Eight

Why Dr. Sebi’s Stop Smoking Diet is the Best Option

A study was carried out by doctors at Columbia University, USA. When analyzing the level of acidity or alkalinity of the body of a smoker, it was discovered those who smoked the most have the highest acid balance in their body. This is the reason why they crave another cigarette faster after the last because the acidity level in their body increases the speed at which nicotine leaves the body. However, an alkaline diet reduces the cravings of cigarettes, thereby making stopping easier because it slows the rate at which the nicotine content leaves the body.

At the University of Nebraska Medical Center in the USA, the alkaline diet was tried on some smokers for five weeks, and at the end of the experiment, all except one had stopped smoking; the one still smoking was down to only two cigarettes a day.

From the above experiment, one can see that the alkaline stop smoking diet (Dr. Sebi’s alkaline diet) is the best option as far as quitting smoking is concerned.

Conclusion

At this point, I believe you have made up your mind to give up smoking for good. You have also seen that through the application of an alkaline-based diet whose roots are found in plants and herbs, one can easily stop smoking. A word of advice here; no matter how confident you are and how long you have stopped smoking, just make it a rule never to touch a cigarette for any reason. Mind you, all ex-smokers if given the opportunity to go back to the time they were first hooked would probably take it.
