Dr Sebi alizaliwa Honduras, alifanikiwa kutibu AIDS, cancer, kisukari, lupus na kifafa. Miaka ya 1980 alichapisha tangazo kwenye gazeti la New York Post "AIDS has been cured by USHA Research Institute, and we specialize in cures for Sickle Cell, Lupus, Blindness Hepers, Cancer and others" Tangazo hili liliifanya idara ya dawa na chakula ya Marekani kumfungulia kesi Dr Sebi kwa kutoa tangazo la uongo na kuendesha biashara ya matibabu bila ya leseni. Dr Sebi alishinda kesi ile kwasababu alipata mashahidi 70 waliotoa ushahidi mahakamani kutibiwa kila ugonjwa alioutaja Dr Sebi.
Katika matibabu ya Dr Sebi anaamini katika nguvu ya chakula, alisema kuwa Mungu alipotuleta hapa duniani alituweka na vyakula vyote vinavyotibu magonjwa yetu. Ni aina ya ulaji wetu ndiyo unafanya sisi kuandamwa na magonjwa.
Anaamini magonjwa yaanza kwenye cell na matibabu hivyo hivyo. Mwili unapokuwa kwenye acidic balance ndiyo mazingira mazuri mazuri ya wadudu kuzaliana na mwili unapokuwakwenye alkaline balance wadudu ambao wapo huko hukosa nafasi ya kuishi na magonjwa kupotea.
Mchanganyiko wa chakula cha wanga na protini ni sumu kubwa ya mwili, kwani msago wa vyakula hivyo huupeleka mwili kwenye acidic balance. Mfano wa vyakula hivyo ni wali na nyama, ugali nyama,
