-
A man known as Dr Sebi claims
-
to have found the cure for several
-
life-threatening diseases, including AIDS.
-
Too good to be true?
Well, you be the judge.
-
[REPORTER] - The lump in Myrtle Ricks'
-
left breast is gone.
-
- I haven't had any symptoms or
-
problems or anything.
-
[REPORTER] - Sabrina Peterson's son, no
-
longer disabled by sickle cell anemia.
-
- He has a lot of energy
-
I have to make him rest.
-
[REPORTER] - Diseases cured by this man.
-
His name is Dr Sebi, but you won't find a
-
medical degree hanging from his wall.
-
Instead a certificate of healing.
-
- We have complex 'things' with science. But,
-
if we go back to God, and use the herbs as
-
God said, then you can see how simple
[OBSCURED]
-
[REPORTER] - Dr Sebi believes what ails
-
you can be cured with natural alkaline
herbs
-
and a vegetarian diet solely made up of
-
what he calls
'Electric Foods';
-
mushrooms, greens and rye breads without
starch.
-
- .. well if Hypocrites established the
-
principle of medical science by using
-
herbs to cure diseases, then why are the
-
physicians using 'the chemicals'?
-
[REPORTER] - 40 years ago a doctor in
-
Mexico cured Sebi of diabetes .. and
-
obesity with the very same herbs and diet
-
he dispenses to all of his patients
-
whether they are suffering from lack of
-
energy or full blown AIDS.
-
- That package is an
'Intracellular chelation'.
-
I am removing plaque from the system.
-
I am removing inflammation.
-
That is the base for all disease.
-
[REPORTER] - And according to a medical
-
affidavit provided by Dr Sebi,
it's working!
-
It shows a patient diagnosed with HIV in
-
November of 1993 was cured two months
later.
-
Thousands of patients worldwide
-
swear by his methods and natural
-
herbal medicines.
-
[VOICE] - In the tiny village of Lisa
-
sought guidance for body and soul from a
-
herbal guru named Dr Sebi.
-
- Dr Sebi you know, according to him, can
-
cure anything. Everything from trying to
-
lose weight, to, you know, looking for a
-
cure for AIDS.
-
People go there with hopes and dreams that
-
Dr Sebi can somehow save them.
-
- She had been through so many intense
-
problems in her career and in her life and
-
in her personal life that she didn't know
-
where to turn "..and this doctor", she said
-
had shown her to really open up and
-
cleanse all of the negativity out of her.
-
[Dr Sebi] - She told me she was struggling
-
with alcoholism and that she was smoking
-
excessively; cigarettes.
-
Drinking and smoking.
-
She asked me
"what do I need to do to stay -
-
on the side of peace"
-
I said "fast, do what Jesus did". She said
"what did Jesus do?"
-
He fasted for 40 days and 40 nights.
-
Midway through her 40 day ordeal, an
-
obviously gaunt Lisa spoke with MTV News.
-
[Lisa] - I've been polluting my body for
-
30 years ... 40 days is not a long time to
-
me to fast. 40 days represents overcoming
-
death. It's the number of days that Jesus
-
fasted for and I kinda feel like I'm on a
-
journey sometimes.
-
Don't really know quite where I'm headed.
-
[Dr Sebi] - At the end of the fasting she
-
came to me. I heard the door opening
-
at 2 o'clock in the morning.
She said
-
"I completed my fast this morning."
-
I said "what did you see?"
-
"I saw God."
-
She said "I'm going to make you famous"
-
I said "how?"
-
"because I'm gonna talk about you,
-
does everyone know you cure AIDS?
-
.. and cancer?
-
[Lisa] - There's just a lot of people in
-
the world who are suffering or sick.
-
They're not happy; they're looking for
answers;
-
they don't know where to turn.
-
Well, I know a man who's been curing AIDS
-
since 1987. This guy has taught me a lot
-
and I need to share my knowledge with the
world.
