African-Americans for Balanced Health (AABH) was founded in 1996 by a group of “Wholistic” health advocates interested in educating themselves about alternative (natural) methods of treating and healing dis-eases and sharing their findings/knowledge with the African-American community and other interested individuals.

African-Americans are dying at extremely young ages, at a faster rate than any other culture of people in America. Poor diet/health is the primary cause of these deaths. In fact, did you know that 95% of all dis-eases are caused by toxins in the colon? Heart disease is the leading cause of death among African-Americans. Cancer is the second leading cause of death with lung, colon-rectal, and prostate cancer at the top of the list.

Most of us have a friend(s) or family member(s) who became ill with cancer, heart disease, chronic asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. between ages 40 and 60 or even younger. A primary contributor to these health statistics is simply the lack of education related to the proper way to care for the human body, mind and spirit.

AABH wants to change the existing statistics by educating the African-American community on how to achieve wellness/wholeness.
