Dr. Sebi Speaks of Dembali: Crossing Over from Dis-Ease to Ease in Matters of Health, Race, Family, and Culture

Dr. Sebi Speaks of Dembali, a nonfiction book, while part memoir and instructive, is steeped in the observations of alkaline herbal medicine specialist Dr. Sebi, legally named Alfredo D. Bowman. Dembali, a phrase Dr. Sebi coined to address why people reject the good in matters of health, race, family, and culture, is the lens he used to observe these challenges. Dembali is the same lens he viewed solutions, which are embedded in the insightful and thought-provoking narrative of Dr. Sebi Speaks of Dembali. Within the pages he addresses race and culture, anthropology and human progression, children and the black family, and issues he addressed for more than 35 years, health, nutrition, and alkaline food and herbs. He introduced dembali and her themes to author Beverly Oliver in Honduras, Central America, surrounded by the rainforest of La Ceiba. In a style reminiscent of a fireside chat, the pair discussed not only his success healing his clients of AIDS, diabetes, and sickle cell anemia, but also the fact that as many have rejected his offerings as have accepted him. So how does he posthumously bring naysayers into an awareness of sustainable health and alkaline nutrition, good family tidings, and respectful race and cultural relations? Dr. Sebi Speaks of Dembali, in seven chapters, offers an answer.
