Black America’s Silent Health Emergency PT. 2 The Health Epidemic Affecting Black Americans

If you caught my last article, you know something scary is happening in
our community…

Chronic inflammation is destroying our people from the inside out.

(If you missed it, click here to catch up. Trust me, you need to understand this first.)

What do you do about it?

Let me tell you about a brother bringing ancestral wisdom and healing to our community: Dr. Sebi.

Back in the 1980s, this brother from Honduras started asking questions nobody dared to ask.

While Western doctors were treating symptoms, he was looking at the whole picture – how our bodies naturally want to heal themselves.

He pointed out something profound: Our ancestors didn’t deal with all these inflammatory diseases we’re fighting today.

They ate differently. Lived differently. Connected to the earth differently.

Dr. Sebi believed that blood acidity was behind many of our health problems.

He advocated for plant-based foods that would help restore our body’s natural balance.

While some of his specific claims were controversial, he was onto something important – the connection between what we take in and how our bodies respond.

Years later, modern science is catching up.

We now know that certain foods can either increase or decrease inflammation
in our bodies.

That acidic environments can indeed affect how our cells function.

That the natural compounds found in plants can help our bodies heal.

Dr. Sebi passed in 2016, but his core
message lives on: Our bodies know
how to heal. We just need to stop
putting things in the way of that
natural healing process.

Think about what Dr. Sebi was saying
all those years ago. “The body is
alkaline. It wasn’t meant to process all
these acidic foods we’re consuming.”

People called him crazy. Now?
Scientists at Johns Hopkins are
studying how acidic environments
affect inflammation at the cellular level.

But here’s where it gets really interesting.

Dr. Sebi talked about how mucus in the body was a sign something was wrong. People laughed.

Today? Medical researchers are finding that excess mucus production is directly linked to inflammatory responses.

The man was seeing patterns before we had the technology to prove them.

He kept telling us about the power of electric foods – foods that give life rather than take it.

Everyone thought it was some mystical nonsense.

Now we’re discovering that certain fruits and vegetables actually create
electrical charges in our cells that help fight inflammation.

But let me tell you where Dr. Sebi’s wisdom really hits home.

He understood something fundamental about our community.

He knew we needed more than just medicine.

We needed to reconnect with our roots, with the ways our ancestors stayed
healthy. Not just physically, but spiritually too.

When he talked about healing, he wasn’t just talking about taking herbs.

He was talking about returning to a way of living that our bodies recognize.

A way of eating that our DNA remembers.

And that’s exactly what the latest research on epigenetics is showing us – that
our bodies carry memories of how our ancestors lived and ate.

When we honor those patterns, our bodies respond.

Remember when your grandma used to say “you are what you eat”?

Dr. Sebi took that wisdom and went deeper. He mapped out how certain foods –
what he called “electric foods” – could literally change the environment inside
our cells.

He identified specific herbs and plants that had been used for centuries in Africa, the Caribbean, and Central America.

Plants like bladderwrack, blue vervain, and soursop. Sea Moss.

While Western medicine was pushing pills, he was showing people how to use nature’s pharmacy.

But here’s what really set him apart:

He understood that healing wasn’t just about taking things – it was about
removing what shouldn’t be there in the first place.

He called it “cleaning the temple.”

Think about it like this: Imagine your body is like a garden. You can’t just keep
planting new seeds if the soil is full of rocks and weeds. You’ve got to clear the
ground first.

That’s why his protocol started with cleansing. He believed – and this is crucial –
that inflammation starts when our bodies are trying to deal with substances
they were never meant to process.

Deal with inflammation by using natural ingredients, and you’ll be amazed at how your health transforms.

In our next article, you’ll see exactly how to do that.

Stay tuned.
