Dear Colleagues:
I hope you are well and enjoying the spring. The unnamed product I mentioned two newslet-ters back which prevents fungal recidivism and chelates out toxic metals continues to per-form exceptionally well and is one of my favorite products (along with Basic Nutrients, L-Tyrosine, Captomer, and SF 722). It should be out by June and I will do a full write-up in the next newsletter.
PRODUCTS OF THE MONTH
1. Moducare (Thorne Research 800-228-1966) This is the one product Thorne sells that they don't manufacture themselves though it does meet their strict purity specifications and has no fillers like stearic acid, ascorbyl palmitate, etc. Moducare contains 20 mg sterols and 200 mcg sterolins in a base of rice flour. An article in the International Journal of Immuno-phermacology using this same formulation showed a T-cell proliferation response from 20-920% on human subjects after taking it for 4 weeks.
Also an increase in interleukin-2 and gamma interferon from 17-61%, an increase in natural killer cell activity, anti-inflammatory response similar to cortisone, fever reducing properties similar to aspirin, anti-hyperglycemic effects, and anti-edema effects have been shown. It increased DHEA levels and lowered the Cortisol : DHEA ratio and has effectively treated benign prostatic hypertrophy. These sterols are suppose to act as immune system adaptogens and are most effective at quenching auto-immune response such as that in rheu-matoid arthritis.
According to literature distributed in other countries the following conditions have been shown to respond to supplementation of sterols and sterolins: rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, M. S., Parkinson's, crohns, celiac, psoriasis, type I & II diabetes, asthma, eczema, chronic bacte-rial and viral infections, etc. It sounds too good to be true. To be honest, my experience has been limited. So many of my 'worst' patients have auto immune conditions so I am anxious to test and use this product available exclusively through Thorne. Share your results with me.
We thank you all for the great feedback on the Nov. 1998 seminar video. Many practitioners tell they've switched from other "AK" techniques to ours (CRA, NAET, etc.) because they feel it is the most comprehensive, and covers the most bases. In this day and age you can't afford to neglect to check for and test dysbiosis, food, chemical and metal sensitivi-ties/toxicities in your chronic patients. It is essential for their long term symptom resolution and stability.
CASE HISTORY
1. Bev - a 48 year old female presented in March with panic disorder of 3 years duration. It started while she was working night shift for the post office and continued through moves and job changes. It started after the PO was remodeled and the symptoms included dizziness, tachycardia as well as the sense of panic. Other symptoms included low energy, greatly fluctuating moods, a chocolate addiction. In the past 18 years she gained 120# and can't lose with dieting. She was taking paxil and synthroid which gave minimal help. In my chemical experience I have found people on night shift much more prone to panic disorder. Testing showed a fungal problem, sensitivities to potato, wheat, beef, beets, apri-cot, cola, flax, mustard, navy beans, sesame, and trout.
We supplemented with SF722, Basic B complex, Biomins II, L-Tyrosine, and 5HTP. We desensitized her and put her on the appropriate diet and supplement. She returned 32 days later. According to her she had her best weeks in years, great energy and moods, no panic problems and she lost 18 pounds so far. She showed clear on her sensitivities but still needing L-Tyrosine, Basic B and Biomins II and we will continue to monitor her.
MATERIAL AVAILABLE FROM DR. MICHAEL LEBOWITZ
1. NEW Correcting Chronic Health Problems 1998: This video seminar approxi-mately 5 hours long will teach the physician a simple to apply, effective protocol to treat patients with chronic fatigue, allergies, chemical sensitivities, intestinal dysbiosis, (fungal, bacterial, parasitic, and viral infections), food sensitivities, altered intestinal permeability, toxic metal problems, endocrine dysfunction, nutritional imbalances, chronic pain and sub-luxation. A knowledge of basic muscle testing is helpful. A complete protocol is taught that you can start using immediately to treat even the most chronic patients. The video is suited for both the novice and the advanced practitioners in our work. A complete set of notes accompanies the video. This video supersedes our previous ones and was taped at our 11/1/98 Las Vegas Seminar. The cost is $200 ppd.
2. Clinical Indications of Thorne Research Products: This handout, over 20 pages long, has both academic and clinical observations on well over 100 products I use in my office. Approximately 90% of the products I use are by Thorne Research. Reasons are given. This handout is free.
3. In House Seminars: Dr. Lebowitz teaches day long seminars at his office to 1 or 2 doc-tors at a time. These seminars are fairly flexible and can be as basic or advanced as the doctor desires, depending on your familiarity with our work. Treatment for the doctor and their family can be included in the seminar. This has been a popular way to learn or update your knowledge of our protocols and we have had doctors attend from all over the world. Cost is $300 per physician. Call for available dates.
