(Note from Erin: My heart goes out to his family and friends. You may remember we’ve written about rapper Nipsey Hussle before when he first announced he was making a film about Dr. Sebi. And we first wrote about Dr. Sebi, when we broke in the US that he had died. He was one of many doctors that we have lost far too soon. You can read about them all by clicking here.)
Sadly, many people have never heard of Dr. Sebi, a Honduran herbalist, biologist, and healer, who passed away on August 6, 2016. In fact, after his death, very few people and no one in the media addressed the fact that Dr. Sebi (or Alfredo Darrington Bowman) had found a cure for cancer and AIDS. Few except for rapper Nipsey Hussle, who decided to make a documentary on the controversial healer.
This documentary may now never come to be since Hussle was gunned down in front of his shop in the Hyde Park area of Los Angeles on March 31st.
“There’s speculation that Hussle’s involvement with the Dr. Sebi documentary, possibly getting close to a revelation meant to stay hidden, was a factor in his murder. The documentary which followed the 1985 court trial in which Dr. Sebi proved he had a cure for AIDS, allegedly contained evidence that the government assisted in Dr. Sebi’s death. In the aftermath of Hussle’s murder, he leaves behind two children and partner, Lauren London.”1
During a radio interview with The Breakfast Club, Hussle said, “I am working on doing doc on the trial in 1985. When Dr. Sebi went to trial in New York because he put in the newspaper that he cured AIDS. He beat the case. Then he went to federal court the next day, and he beat that case. But nobody talks about it.”1 (We wonder why that is. Why doesn’t anyone else?)

Hussle continued, “I think the story is important. It’s a powerful narrative. Like if someone in this room said, ‘Hey, I cured AIDS.’ I’d be like yeah, right. And then I can show you an example of him going to trial and proving in court he proved AIDS, I’d be interested in it. More so than championing his products or explaining his methodology. Put some light on that case.”1
Dr. Sebi believed he found the cure for AIDS, cancer, diabetes, and blindness
Dr. Sebi was not a licensed physician but he had built quite a following thanks to his all natural remedies, formulas, tonics, and supplements. He also believed, as many holistic doctors do, that food was alkaline for the body and that dead foods killed the body’s ability to heal itself.
And because of that, he recommended people eat a strict vegan diet, cutting out the foods he considered toxic: alcohol, sugar, iodized salt, meat, poultry, seafood. By doing this and replacing those foods with fresh fruit, vegetables, healthy grains, and nut butters, he believed “the body would earn back its natural healing powers.”1 And this eating plan was part (though not all) of his cure for cancer, AIDS, diabetes, and blindness.
“In 1988, Dr. Sebi bought ads promoting his food diet in the Amsterdam News, the Village Voice, and the New York Post saying that, “AIDS has been cured.” New York state attorney instructed him to take the ads down, claiming he was selling products not approved by the FDA, and practicing medicine without a license.
In court, Dr. Sebi said that he had cured every one of his patients that received his treatment. When the judge asked the natural healer to bring in one patient as evidence, Dr. Sebi provided 77 healed patients to the court, and he won the case.”1
Won. The. Case. And yet, have you ever heard about this amazing healer?
Did the government kill Dr. Sebi?
Dr. Sebi was 82-years-old and in a Honduran jail, sick with complications from pneumonia when he died; he had been arrested a few months earlier at Juan Manuel Gálvez de Roatan Airport for alleged money laundering. According to the police, Sebi was trying to board a plane with his business partner Pablo Medina Gamboa, and (allegedly) had $37,000 cash in his suitcase. Although he was released a few days later, he was arrested again by the Public Ministerio (the Honduran equivalent of the FBI) for money laundering and remained in prison until he died en route to the hospital.
If Hussle’s documentary had been completed it could have been dangerous to the medical community; they would have surely been drowning in negative press and millions of wrongful death lawsuits.
We will update you if more information becomes available.
