MY RECOMMENDATIONS
THE MINIMALIST EFFECT
There are many herbs, supplements, flours, sweeteners and other items you can buy, but what do I recommend? In the beginning I went broke ordering everything and I came up with some companies I really liked and herbs I found the most beneficial. Now I can give you a few items you must have based on daily needs and based on Dr. Sebi's Nutritional Guide.
First let's look at cleansing herbs:
You need 3 herbs: Cascara Sagrada, Rhubarb Root and Prodijiosa. The cost of these 3 herbs are very minor. But they are a must. Total cost may change but as of the writing of the article, the cost was approximately $43 plus shipping.
To make the protocol, you need 1/2 cup of cascara sagrada and 1/2 cup of rhubarb root and 1/8 cup of prodijiosa. Make capsules and take 2 to 3 capsules daily for 7 days.
I really like the products from Frontier and from Best Botanicals and 3rd in line would be Starwest Botanicals. So let's order:
Cascara Sagradra - Buy here -8 oz or 16 oz
Rhubarb Root - Buy Here - 1 lb
Prodijiosa - Buy Here - 8 oz.

Now let's look at cleansing herbal teas:
Keep in mind the cleansing herbs above should be taken in capsule form and so you need to buy capsules. I suggest size 00. 1 teaspoon of herbs will fit in five 00 capsules. If you buy size 0 then you will need seven capsules for each 1 teaspoon of herb powder. So it is easier to take less. Something to consider if you choose to buy a capsule machine. There are capsule holders, which are more economical and capsule machines.
There are many herbs that you can buy but for me I use the basic ones. For mucus making tea, we have
Burdock - Buy Burdock - 1 lb
Red Raspberry - Buy Red Raspberry - 1 lb
Elderberry - Buy Elderberry
Black Walnut leaf - optional - Buy here
Now I also like the combination of dandelion root and hibiscus. Dandelion is a diuretic, cleanses the liver, great for the skin, anti-oxidant, prevents urinary track infections, high in vitamins A and K and protects your bone. It is also been shown to treat cancer.
While there are many other Dr. Sebi Herbs, these are your basic ones and if you had these herbs alone, you would be in very good shape and easier on the pocketbook.

IMPORTANT SUPPLEMENTS - BROMIDE MIX AND GREEN FOOD PLUS
|
The two main supplements that Dr. Sebi recommended were Bromide mix and Green food plus. They are both so easy to make. We recommend 1 tablespoon of Bromide Mix daily and 4 capsules or 1 teaspoon of Green Food Plus. I personally take 8 capsules daily or 2 teaspoons of powder of the Green Food Plus formula. I have had many people tell me that while fasting 3 capsules of Green Food Plus was not enough. This is the amount Dr. Sebi Recommended in his fasting videos. So let's make some supplements.
Bromide Plus: You need Sea Moss Powder and Bladderwrack Powder. You need equal amounts of each. So if you buy 4 ounces of Seamoss, you need 4 ounces of Bladderwrack Powder. Seamoss has 92 of the 102 nutrients your body needs. Burdock has the other 10. If you want to have a complete formula add in some burdock. So the correct ratio is 1 cup of Seamoss, 1 cup of Burdock and 2/10th cup of burdock. Now I add in 1 tablespoon of Bromide to my smoothies. If you want to make capsules, you will need 15 capsules if you use size 00 capsules and you will need 21 capsules per day if you use size 0). Now you can divide the capsules throughout the day or take 5 capsules with each meal. |
How to Make the Green Food Plus: The next supplement you want in your diet is the Green Food Plus. This is a simple remedy also to make Remember to use equal portions of each herb. You will Need:
Linden Leaf - BUY - 4 oz
Nopal - BUY - 335 grams
Stinging Nettles - BUY - 1 lb
Bladderwrack - BUY - 1 lb
Be smart and buy a large bag of bladderwrack as you can see it is used in many formulas. You can also make other supplements at home too.
Make Testo at home
Make Eva Salve
Make Estro for Women
Make Viento

THE MINAMALIST EFFECT
|
My recommendations for the minimal effect include the basic herbs, but part of the diet is the foods, the flours and extras we need. The Nutritional Guide will show you what you can buy at the grocery store, ie fruits and veggies, but there are other things you must buy elsewhere. This section will discuss the minimal requirements.
First the sweeteners we use are Agave or date sugar or you can use date syrup. I add date syrup to my smoothies daily. I add around one dallop as we say in Kentucky or around a heaping tablespoon. Agave comes in many types but the best one in my opinion is Wholesome Agave and the best date syrup is from this brand. |
WHICH OILS CAN I USE?? The oils allowed are extra virgin oil -not for cooking. You can use virgin olive oil for cooking. You can have avocado oil, grape oil (normally used in frying), sesame seed, coconut and hemp seed oils. Although frying is allowed on the program, I personally never fry anything and frying foods is not allowed on my group. Using a microwave or frying is detrimental to your health and this should be avoided.
When taking cell foods or supplements, take them one hour before taking any pharmaceutical meds. Also note the healing times of Dr. Sebi program is 10pm to 2am and during this time YOU MUST SLEEP.

FLOURS AND GRAINS: While you are allowed multiple flours and grains, for the minimalist you could buy only spelt flour. It is used in almost all recipes and is very good tasting. You can use this in a multitude of recipes from waffles to breakfast rolls. Even if the recipe calls for kamut, you could use spelt flour. Spelt flour is easily bought in bulk sacks also.
I am not a fan of the boxed pastas available and they are expensive for the amount you get. I prefer instead to make homemade pasta. If you do not have a pasta maker you can make it without and simply roll out on a cutting board and hang the pasta on a hanger to dry. If I was to buy pasta, again it would be the spelt pasta. There are multiple brands and types. Keep in mind you cannot cook pasta like you would wheat. It will melt in the soup. Put it in the soup or stew at the end and only allow enough time for cooking.

OK, WHAT DO I EAT NOW??
What do you eat for breakfast? Well Dr. Sebi said water was the best thing to have for breakfast. So upon rising, drink water. You must drink 1 gallon of spring water a day. Speaking of Spring water, what are the best spring waters to drink? Here is a list of the Top 10 Best Bottled Spring Waters of 2017
Other items for breakfast include smoothies with acceptable nut milk. Acceptable nut milks are: hemp, Brazil, Hemp and Brazil and walnut. You can make these milks very easily. Hemp seeds do not have to be strained and/or soakd. You can simply add them to water and blend on high speed. Use 2 tablespoons of seeds to 2 cups of water. Brazil nut milk and walnut milks have to be strained. The walnuts should be soaked for 12 hours prior also. You can then store the walnuts in your freezer and add as needed. General rule is 1/8 cup of walnuts to 1 cup of water.
You can use regular nut bags to strain with or simply a piece of cloth or even an old CLEAN t-shirt.
You can use any approved fruit or veggie in your smoothie with agave, date syrup and also include 1 tablespoon of Bromide Mix and 2 teaspoons of the Green Food Plus supplements.
You can also have Dr. Sebi Approved waffles, pancakes or rolls.

WHAT'S FOR LUNCH AND DINNER?
|
|
The nutritional guide gives you many choices. As long as what you are fixing is on the approved list, it is ok to eat. Keep in mind to avoid frying foods. Almost any recipe can be baked that is normally fried. Even though foods are approved to be eaten with grape seed oil, do your heart a favor and avoid the greasy oils. Never ever microwave your foods either.
The point of this guide was to help you visualize what is healthy and what is approved. Dr. Sebi's life was based on nutrition of natural foods. You are permitted to eat any natural food not on the guide as long as it is natural, like Nigella Sativa. Be careful of what some websites are calling healthy foods like wheat grass or mullein tea. There are some things that Dr. Sebi specifically called bad, such as brown cumin, turmeric, broccoli, cauliflower, parsley, etc.
Eat what is good and follow his ways. Dr. Sebi emphasized that everyone should fast 12 days a year. Read more on what he taught on fasting - Read the Joy of Fasting. Also read the ingredient list of all the products the Dr. Sebi Cellfood Store created.
