Dr. Sebi (Alfredo Bowman) Workout and Diet
Herbalist
Born: 1933
Alfredo Bowman aka Dr. Sebi was born in Honduras. He came to the US, but, dissatisfied with Western treatments for diseases like obesity, asthma, diabetes and erectile dysfunction, at age 29 he went to see an herbalist in Mexico. There he did a juice fast that included certain herbs for 43 days. He says he lost 150 lbs., and fixed his vision, asthma, depression and ED. He went on to develop an internal cleansing program that he says can cure virtually any disease through a special vegan diet and herbs. He advised many celebrities, including Michael Jackson, Steven Seagal, John Travolta, and Eddie Murphy. Some of his claims went against standard beliefs, including that HIV does not cause AIDS and that germs do not cause disease. Dr. Sebi did not hold a medical degree and was sometimes considered to be a quack. In 2016, Sebi died of pneumonia in a Honduran prison while awaiting a hearing on charges of money laundering.

Dr. Sebi’s Diet
Summary
Dr. Sebi created the African Bio-Mineral Balance diet which is meant to support the healthy expression of all humans. Sebi believed acidity from eating meat and starch causes harmful mucus to build up leading to disease, and that a plant-based alkaline diet can cure virtually any ailment. He believed that chronic metabolic acidosis (meaning a blood pH lower than 7.4) causes all sorts of diseases, including osteoporosis, lupus, cancer, and diseases of all the major organs. Drinking a gallon of water daily is also part of this diet, as is taking certain supplements.

Diet Details
Balanced pH
According to Sebi, an acidic diet turns the blood acidic. He believed his alkaline diet was the way to fix this, and that humans are meant to have a blood pH above 7.4. This diet is not bland however, and many herbs, spices, sea salt and date sugar are allowed.
Herbal Cleanse
Sebi’s plan includes cleansing the body of acidity on a cellular level, followed by revitalizing it with 102 minerals that promote health.
No Acid
Sebi believed that eating meat, which causes acidity in the body, was one of the causes for disease. Eggs, processed foods, dairy, GMOs and hybrid foods are also acid-producing and therefore avoided on his diet.
Whole Foods
Sebi’s list of approved foods is vegan, with a few extra limitations. For example, walnuts are okay, but almonds are not. Olive oil is fine but must not be heated, and most vegetables and fruits are allowed, although they must be natural, not hybridized (such as seedless watermelon, etc.)

Dr. Sebi’s Workout Routine
Weekly Routine
Drink Up
Part of Dr. Sebi’s cleansing program involves drinking a gallon of purified water every day.
Slow Fast
Fasting is part of Dr. Sebi’s cellular cleansing method and he performed and supervised fasts lasting 90+ days. (He recommends starting out with a 12-day fast.) During the fast, you may have water, juice, and certain herbs to aid in the cleansing process.
No Micro
Dr. Sebi was opposed to using the microwave to prepare food, as well as frying. Only certain oils should be heated during cooking as well, such as grape seed.
Exercise Style
A Dr. Sebi Cleansing Routine
Dr. Sebi recommended doing a 12-day fast each year. The fast allows for taking in water, fruit juice (tamarind in particular), herbs like his Bromide and GreenFood formulas, and the occasional piece of fruit, but otherwise no solid foods.
To cleanse the body of toxins and disease, Dr. Sebi said the best breakfast was spring water. Drink at least a gallon of water each day.
After water, try fresh-squeezed fruit juice or water with juice of 2-3 limes to help rebalance the body’s pH. Apples or grapes are ideal for breakfast, but allow at least 5 minutes between each different fruit.
Lunch should be cooked vegetables along with a raw salad from the approved food list.
Dinner can be your choice of fruit, soup, salad, or steamed vegetables. Avoid frying or microwaving food.
Because this diet can be a difficult transition to make, you could always start more gradually, for example, by removing fast food from your diet. Next, you could slowly replace meat and eggs with fruit and vegetables.
Dr. Sebi says this diet will cleanse your body of toxins and eradicate disease, shed excess pounds, and transform a foggy mind into a sharp one.
Dr. Sebi on Fasting
‘Although the natural vegetation cell food compounds were designed to extract mucus from a given area of the body, it is also necessary for the body to be cleansed as a whole.’
Dr. Sebi on Disease & Its Cure
‘There is only one disease: mucus. There is only one cure: natural foods.’
Dr. Sebi on Vitamins & Minerals
‘The body does not need vitamins. The body needs minerals.’
