In the interview about the documentary, Hussle himself raised questions about the circumstances of Dr. Sebi’s death.
What exactly is the Dr. Sebi diet?
Bowman passed in August of 2016.
He was told to stop making medical claims about his diet’s benefits.
Bowman proposed that by creating an alkaline environment, one can eliminate diseases.
His diet also advises taking Dr. Sebi “Cell Food” supplements.
The program,for which there are gendered options, costs between $750 and $1,500.
Rules of the diet (per Bowman):
1.
If the food isn’t in his “Nutritional Guide,” it is not recommended.
Drink one gallon of natural spring water per day.
Any Dr. Sebi products are to be taken an hour before “pharmaceuticals.”
All Dr. Sebi products can be taken together without interaction.
No animal products, hybrid foods, canned fruits, seedless fruits, or alcohol may be consumed.
According to Sebi, using the microwave will “kill your food,” so avoid using it.
What does it mean to alkalize the body?
An alkaline diet is based on the premise of controlling your body’s pH with the foods you eat.
The homeostasis of pH in various organs and fluids is tightly regulated.
One of the bodily products that is directly affected by the food and fluids we consume is urine.
This is an example of a kidney-controlled mechanism for managing pH in the blood.
Do alkaline diets work?
