Dr. Sebi's Nutritional Guide
Nutrition is the foundation of Dr. Sebi’s approach to health and healing. And his Nutritional Guide is a carefully curated list of plant-based, alkaline foods that support the body at a cellular level. Unlike other plant-based diets, this guide eliminates foods that are acidic, genetically modified, or mucus-forming—even some that are often labeled as "healthy."
Dr. Sebi created the guide to help people transition away from foods that cause disease and toward those that promote vitality, balance, and inner cleansing. Each food on the list was selected for its ability to nourish, energize, and restore the body’s natural pH.
Following the Nutritional Guide means:
- Eating only approved fruits, vegetables, grains, herbs, and oils
- Avoiding all animal products (meat and dairy), soy, and highly processed or genetically modified foods
- Drinking one gallon of natural spring water daily
- Choosing foods that are electric—full of life-giving minerals
Whether you're cleansing, recovering from illness, or simply choosing a healthier path, the Nutritional Guide is your roadmap to optimal wellness, straight from nature.
If it’s not in the guide—it’s not recommended.

Nutritional Guide FAQ's
Is fasting required to follow Dr. Sebi’s method?
While not required, fasting is highly recommended. Dr. Sebi believed fasting gives the body time to cleanse, detox, and repair. Even short periods of fasting—whether water fasting, juice fasting, or herbal cleansing—can help accelerate healing and bring mental clarity. You can read more about fasting here.

Why are certain foods not on the guide?
The Nutritional Guide was created with foods that cause the least amount of mucus, create an alkaline environment, and are not hybrid or genetically modified. If it's not on the guide, it's not recommended for consumption.
What happens if I don't follow the Nutritional Guide?
Not following the guide can slow healing, reduce the effectiveness of Dr. Sebi’s products, and reintroduce mucus-forming, acidic foods. For best results, stay consistent with the approved alkaline foods.
Can I follow Dr. Sebi’s lifestyle if I’m new to plant-based eating?
Absolutely. Transitioning can be done at your own pace. Start by incorporating more alkaline foods from Dr. Sebi’s Nutritional Guide and gradually phasing out processed and acidic items. Many people begin with herbal supplements or a short cleanse to kickstart the journey.
Do I need to take herbs or supplements to follow Dr. Sebi’s method?
While diet is the foundation, Dr. Sebi believed that herbs accelerate healing and detoxification. His natural supplements were formulated to cleanse the body, replenish minerals, and target specific systems like the blood, lymph, and organs. Many people begin their healing journey with a combination of herbal support and dietary changes for deeper results.
Will I still see results if I use the products but don't change my diet?
You may still experience some benefits, but results will likely be slower or less effective. Dr. Sebi’s products work best when paired with an alkaline diet that supports detox and healing.
