The System Called Him a Quack—But the People Called Him Healer

 

What if the person you called a fraud was actually the cure?

I was standing in a small herb shop when a man transformed before my eyes. One moment, he was a gifted herbalist… the next, it was Dr. Sebi—in presence, in power, in purpose.

And in that moment, I realized: the system doesn’t just fear healing—it fears who holds it.

The System Called Him a Quack—But the People Called Him Healer

Written by Pamela Jackson

I wasn’t hallucinating. I was witnessing alignment.

One ordinary day in a humble herb shop, time folded—and the face of the herbalist in front of me shifted. For a moment, it wasn’t just him.

It was Dr. Sebi.

He stood there—brown skin aglow, eyes filled with knowing. Not in flesh, but in frequency. And in that moment, I understood something profound: healing chooses vessels that systems reject.

✨ Healers Walk Among Us—But They Wear Scars

The man I was speaking to had crafted a natural remedy for COVID-19. A remedy birthed not from profit or pharmaceuticals, but from reverence—for nature, for spirit, for Black life.

But what broke my heart is this:
Despite his gift, his medicine, his ability to see beyond symptoms…
He has been robbed, tortured, and mistreated for what he carries.

Because in this world? Prophets don’t get parades. They get punished.

🔥 Dr. Sebi Was Never Just a Man—He Was a Mirror

Alfredo Bowman, known to the world as Dr. Sebi, challenged the very foundation of modern medicine. With no license, no Ivy League degree—just herbs, minerals, and an alkaline truth—he declared war on disease. And that made him dangerous.

  • He said mucus was the root of all disease.

  • He denied that HIV caused AIDS.

  • He claimed that food could heal what medicine couldn’t.

And the system called him delusional.

But what they couldn’t kill—was his impact.

🌱 The System vs. The Soul

When we talk about Dr. Sebi, we’re not just talking about herbs and diets. We’re talking about:

  • The criminalization of ancestral knowledge.

  • The silencing of indigenous healing.

  • The centuries-long war against Black sovereignty and wellness.

They don’t just fear the cure—they fear who holds it.

👁️ And Now? He’s Appearing Again

Not just in dreams, visions, or viral memes.
But in us.
In the herbalists on the corner.
In the mothers mixing teas in the kitchen.
In the spiritualists decoding illness with prayer, food, and frequency.

The spirit of Dr. Sebi lives on every time we choose plants over pills.
Every time we question the prescription.
Every time we turn pain into purpose, and roots into revolution.

📣 We’re Not Crazy—We’re Called

So, if they call us quacks, witches, rebels, or radicals—good.
That’s the same language they used for every healer before us.

“They hated the truth because the truth didn’t need a license. It only needed a vessel.”

And if Dr. Sebi walked through that herbalist that day,
It’s because spirit recognizes spirit.
And the work ain’t done.

💥 Final Word:

The world may never put respect on his name…
But the people already did.

He was called a quack by the system.
But he was called a healer by the healed.

With truth, fire, and healing,

Shell Games: When the Government Plays Like the Mob

  Shell Games: When the Government Plays Like the Mob How Public Systems Mirror Shell Companies to Profit Off Pain By Pamela Jackson | She Heals Silently™ | #TheSilentEvictionSeries They called it racketeering when Sean "Diddy" Combs allegedly used a web of shell companies to silence victims, funnel money, and protect his empire. But what do you call it when the government does the same thing ? Because make no mistake— they do . And they’ve been doing it longer, better, and with far more devastating reach. 🏛️ Shell Companies 101 — And the Dirty Mirror A shell company is a business with no active operations. It exists to: - Hide ownership - Move money - Dodge taxes or responsibility - Operate in secrecy Sounds shady, right?

Zimmerman vs. Karmelo: What’s the Difference?

Zimmerman vs. Karmelo: What’s the Difference? Two cases. One pattern. A system that never stopped. By The Phoenix Coach™ The short answer? Race. Media bias. And who gets the luxury of being called a victim. In 2012, the world watched George Zimmerman pursue 17-year-old Trayvon Martin through a Florida neighborhood, against the advice of 911. Trayvon, carrying Skittles and iced tea, was doing nothing more than walking home. Minutes later, he was dead. Zimmerman claimed self-defense under Florida’s “ Stand Your Ground ” law. He said Trayvon attacked him. But Trayvon couldn’t speak for himself—because he was murdered. There were no close-range witnesses. No one who could challenge Zimmerman’s narrative. And so, he walked free. Fast forward to today. A similar tragedy is unfolding in Texas—only this time, the Black teen is alive . His name is Karmelo Anthony (not the celebrity athlete, but a young man whose story is being warped by the media and weaponized by conservative outlets for clic...

I’m a Cassie Too: When Abuse Looks Like Fame, Love, and Fear

I’m a Cassie Too: When Abuse Looks Like Fame, Love, and Fear There are some stories you don’t just watch—you feel. When the headlines broke about Cassie’s lawsuit against Diddy , I didn’t need the full details to understand the truth. I didn’t need the video footage to validate what I already knew in my spirit. Because I’ve lived it. Because I’m a Cassie too. ✖️ The Abuse That Doesn’t Leave Bruises Not all abuse shows up in black and blue. Some of it looks like luxury. Like gifts with invisible strings. Like silence in exchange for safety. Like walking on marble floors with a mind full of landmines. Some of us were taught to: mistake control for protection mistake trauma bonds for real love confuse gaslighting for guidance And when we tried to speak up? We were labeled dramatic. Unstable. Disloyal. 🏛️ The System Protects Its Own What happened to Cassie isn’t just a “celebrity problem.” It’s a systemic problem. It’s a spiritual problem. It’s what happens when: power gets licensed money...
