Saleem Hasan has been a health enthusiast since the 1980’s when he studied under the leaders in the health foods arena in Atlanta, Georgia.  His adherence to the Islamic way of life reinforced his healthier lifestyle, and he shared with others his health-conscious philosophy of “God will forgive you, but your body won’t.”  In 1990, he established a health food business in Northwest Georgia, Aisha Natural Foods, and began attending farmers’ co-ops, open air “flea” markets, and cultural festivals in Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Florida.  He learned more about herbs and natural methods from naturopaths, Native Americans, and other traditionalists he met along the way. 

Upon moving to Maryland, he eventually opened Just Natural, a health food store and delicatessen at the Historic Cross Street Market of Federal Hill in Baltimore, and was certified as a health practitioner at a health institute in Denver, Colorado. With a desire to “help people live younger, longer,” he became known as the “Herb Man,” dispensing herb and vitamin formulas, vegetarian sandwiches, fruit smoothies, and other healthy drinks made from carrot and wheatgrass juice.  His store was frequented by young and old long-time residents, health nuts and those who rarely strayed from conventional medicine, celebrities, and city and state officials, seeking everything from weight loss remedies to natural approaches to severe illnesses.  After five years, he moved on, establishing Naturally Yours, L.L.C. and business partnerships in Baltimore, Columbia, and Severna Park, Maryland.  He and his partner, T. Haleem Abdul-Rahman began a special project, Natural Recovery, to bring relief from lead poisoning and other health problems related to substance abuse, immune deficiencies, and attention deficit disorders.  The two-part Lead Cleansing Program, “Detox” and “Brilliance” is designed to assist in the lead poisoning detoxification process.
