Dick Gregory's nutritional formula
requested by Ethiopian officials
Social activist and health en
thusiast Dick Gregory has made
history by becoming the first per
son to confront the problem of
starvation in Ethiopia from a
nutritional standpoint. Acting
upon requests by Ethiopian
medical officials urging him to ad
dress the problems of
malnutrition, Mr. Gregory, has in
troduced his 4X nutritional for
mula to health officials there. The
formula represents a culmination
of 15 years of research by Mr.
Gregory and researchers at health
departmens of prestigious univer
sities nationwide.
Mr. Gregory was contacted by
three prominent Ethiopian medical
and health officials. The officials
are Dr. Demessie Habte, Dean of
the Faculty of Medicine Addis
Ababa Univ.', Ethiopia; Mr. Aklilu
Meaque, of the Ethiopian Relief
and Rehabilitation Commission;
and Dr. Aduguaw Getahun, of the
Ethiopian Piatric Clinic.
The trio were familiar with Dick
Gregory’s Slim Safe Bahamian
Diet and his crusade to learn the
causes of hunver. They assessed

looking under every rock.”
Albert Turner, a long time civil
rights leader, was president of the
Alabama Southern Christian
Leadership Conference in 1965.
He was active during the murder of
civil rights leader Jimmy Lee
Jackson, and was the principal
organizer in the historic march
across the Edmund Pettus Bridge
in Selma, Ala. in the first Selma
to-Montgomery March for Voting
Rights led by Martin Luther King.
The Selma-To-Montgomery
march led to the passage of the
1965 Voting Rights Act during the
Johnson administration which en
francised the nation’s Black
•citizens with the equal right to
vote.
Turner has been a continuous
thorn in the side of many rural
Alabama white politicans as he has
been a major force in the rise of
Black political power in rural
Alabama counties.
The indictments have
precipitated strong reaction from
Alabama Blacks and national civil
rights leaders. Dr. Joseph Lowery,
national president of the
SCLC(Southern Christian Leader
ship Conference), and the Rev.
Jesse Jackson, former presidential
candidate, have vented their
outrage and begun their support of
the three indictees.
The SCLC has stated publicly
that the planned March 3rd Selma-
To-Montgomery, Re-enactment
March will now take on renewed
meaning. “Everything has
changed, yet nothing has
changed” said Lowery.
The indictments against the
Black Belt Three as they have ben
called culminate a six month in
vestigation by the FBI and the U.S.
Attorney’s office.
It has been learned that other in
vestigations are on-going involving
Black leaders in other predominan
tly Black counties under the con
trol of Black elected officials.
No investigation is being con
ducted in any of the Black Belt
Counties where whites are in con
trol politically.
According to co-counsel Chest
nut, The Black Belt Three are
scheduled to come to trail in Selma
in March, ironically, the time of
the re-enactment March from
Selma to Montgomery. But Chest
nut is not necessarily pleased with
such a quick trial date. He said
f it took tne government six mon
ths to investigate, and they want us
to go to trial in justXWQmpnths.”

that the activist’s 4X Formula,
found in the diet, might provide
some answers to the crisis-ridden
problem of starvation plaguing the
country. The rationale behind this
is that the grains and other food
stuffs being imported to the star
ving people, might not be
nutritious enough to starve off
nutritional deficiencies. Therefore,
Dick Gregory was contacted
through Dr. James P. Carter
chairman of Tulane University’s
Department of Nutrition, where
Mr. Gregory’s nutritional formula
is being studied.
Dr. Carter will work with
Ethiopian officials as they ex
pertiment with the Formula to
make clinical observations such as
rate of weight gain, disappearance
of edema, return of hair texture
and color, clearing up of skin
rashes, time it takes for diarrhea to
subside, return of vitality and etc.
Mr. Gregory noted that the ap
peal by the Ethiopian officials
conincides with activities by the
newly-established Foundation for
the Elimination of World Hunger,
which he founded.

Mr. Gregory recently visited the
country where he personally
monitored a trucklift that tran
sported food to the starving
people. He performed this mission
as aprt of his work with the
organization, Black Americans
Response to the African Crisis
(BARAC).
The comedian-turned-social
activist’s health crusades are
legion. After tipping the scales at
300, and after being a whiskey
drinker and chain smoker in the
50s, he went on his first fast. The
results were so dramatic that he
became a health devotee—other
fasting to illustrate a problem of
world concern.
The popularity of his nutritional
drink mix is underscored by the
fact that he recently singend an
unprecedented SIOO million con
tract with the Ohio-based Cernitin
America, Inc., for the U.S.A
marketing rights to his new weighi
loss product, Dick Gregory’s Slim
Safe Bahamian Diet.
In addition to this historic par
tnership, Mr. Gregory oversees
Dick Gregory Health Enterprises,
I Inc., a research, manufacturing
I and distributing company that is
I marketing 103 of Dick Gregory’s
I health-conscious products.
