Dr Sebi’s herbal methods aren’t too far away from how some modern medicines are created – enhancing naturally occurring substances that have been purified and strengthened so they can be administered in an effective dose. There are many traditional medical practices from Chinese herbal medicine to African herbology that use natural, unpurified ingredients as their basis for treatment. Although natural medicines may seem appealing, they do not go through medical trials and are not regulated, which means the effects can be unpredictable and, at times, dangerous. It’s essential, however, that Western medicine acknowledges other health belief systems and how it impacts the communities we serve. By simply dismissing these practitioners as “quacks’ or a ‘hoax” without an adequate explanation on why such claims are unfounded, we make those that are already vulnerable even more so.

Nevertheless, his crookedness is well-documented. After stating that he had “accredited diagnostic sheets” to prove his claims about curing HIV, it’s hard to locate a shred of evidence – or even a cured AIDs patient – and he has largely been dismissed in medical circles as a “quack”. In 1987, the New York Supreme Court tried and failed to convict Dr Sebi on criminal charges of practicing medicine without a license. Then in 1993, an agreement was made with his company, USHA Herbal Research, that no further claims would be made regarding curing the aforementioned conditions – this disclaimer is still made on the official website. He was arrested in May 2016 at 82 on charges of money laundering and allegedly died of pneumonia while in police custody.

The unclear circumstances of his death have further heightened paranoia over state involvement in his death. Pair this with the fact that during his lifetime Dr Sebi had several prominent celebrity clients including Lisa “Left Eye” Lopez who was on a retreat of his when she died, and Michael Jackson. Although their deaths are seemingly unrelated, their names and faces are used to illustrate that there is a wider effort to take out him and his fans out of public view. This mysticism turned him into a cult figure, making his products even more in demand. In the 80s, Dr Sebi was charging $500 dollars for an initial consultation fee – presently an all inclusive package of Dr Sebi’s herbology pills is $1500.
