It’s been a while since I introduced myself and by a while, I literally mean back in August of 2018 when I first started my page and was a little baby in college lol (swipe ➡️ to see that post).
Hi, my name is Ashley. I am 28 years old. I started this page in 2018 when I was a 22 year old college student. I had just recently went through an episode of Uveitis. It hurt so bad!!! My eye was red, runny, I couldn’t look at light or it would cause me excruciating pain, was massively itchy and just all around painful.
I went to an eye doctor for this issue who prescribed me some medicine. When I asked him what caused this, he said he didn’t know, that this was a very common issue amongst older people and was likely to come back. I had also been dealing with sciatic nerve pain in my lower back and leg off and on since I was in high school. Another doctor (a middle aged black woman) told me the exact same thing. I was fed up because how are you a doctor, but you’re not able to offer me any real solutions?
Randomly one day, my dad sent me a Dr Sebi video. I can’t remember exactly what the video was about, but I was immediately captivated by what he said and was like yeah I’m doing this. So I adopted the African Bio Mineral Lifestyle. Cold turkey stopped eating meat and dairy, put any junk/processed/non vegan thing I had into a box.
I did a 7 day juice fast with apple juice, water and ginger tea. I failed the first time after 3 days and ate a subway sandwhich and was so sick 😂 but I tried again a few days later and was successful this time. After that I went on YouTube and made meals using Dr Sebi’s Nutritional Guide.
I continued on this trail until I moved home and was no longer living by myself. The red beans and gumbo definitely got me lol After that it was an up and down journey. I finally went fully plant based after 2 long years and I’ve never looked back since then. I don’t strictly follow Dr Sebi’s Nutritional Guide, but I still do mostly. I have the greatest respect for Dr Sebi. He taught me so much. I wouldn’t be here had he decided not to pursue the Divine Mission God placed upon his life. Rest in Peace King 💜🕊️
