Dear Colleagues
I hope you all are well. I will be teaching two seminars this spring. Both will cover the same material including some important new information I have never taught before. Details are below.
SEMINAR #1 Phoenix March 4th
This class will be held at Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in Tempe, AZ (easy drive from Phoenix airport). The address is 2140 E. Broadway Rd., Tempe, AZ 85282 (NW corner of Broadway and Price). It will teach an effective, easy to employ series of techniques to “diagnose” and treat dysbiosis (fungal, bacterial, parasitic, viral, “lyme”, candida), toxic metals, food sensitivities and toxicity (gluten, solanine, casein, caffeine, etc), chemical toxicity, organ imbalance, EMF’s, nutrient deficiencies, etc. Correcting these will most often greatly help or eliminate symptoms of fatigue, headache, chronic subluxations, fibromyalgia, various gastrointestinal problems, hormonal imbalances, adrenal issues, etc. I will be presenting new information on hypercoagulation problems. This important topic has never been addresses in AK before. Understanding and discerning this condition can help find tendencies towards strokes, heart attacks, dvt’s, pulmonary embolisms, miscarriage, chronic pain and many other chronic conditions. Treating these can potentially help avoid these conditions which can be life threatening at times as well as clear up many nagging symptoms and improve your quality of life. This has been the focus of my studies over the last 6 months and will be the first time I will be publically presenting this. Attendees should have at least a beginning understanding of muscle testing for the class to be worthwhile. Class is 9-5 and cost is $250. If you are a student or assistant in a physician’s office and come with the physician your fee is $100 ($50 if attending SCNM). If you attended my fall 2011 seminar in Denver your fee is also $100. You can register by paypal on my
website www.michaellebowitzdc.com or send a check to me at 2550 I Road, Grand Junction, CO 81505. It is a great time to come to Phoenix and take in a few spring training games.
Seminar #2 Los Angeles, CA April 22nd

There will also be reduced parking ($10) for the seminar by showing parking ticket at front desk and letting them know you attended the seminar.
It will be virtually the same class as the one in Phoenix in March. It will teach an effective, easy to employ series of techniques to “diagnose” and treat dysbiosis (fungal, bacterial, parasitic, viral, “lyme”, candida), toxic metals, food sensitivities and toxicity (gluten, solanine, casein, caffeine, etc), chemical toxicity, organ imbalance, EMF’s, nutrient deficiencies, etc. Correcting these will most often greatly help or eliminate symptoms of fatigue, headache, chronic subluxations, fibromyalgia, various gastrointestinal problems, hormonal imbalances, adrenal issues, etc. I will be presenting new information on hypercoagulation problems.

We are planning to hopefully to produce a DVD set of this class to be available in May.
CASE HISTORY
From Sam Anteby DC, Brooklyn, NY
Bobbie (not her real name) is a 21-year old nursing student with severe menstrual irregularity. She has 3 cycles per year, with menstrual bleeding lasting as long as six months at a time! Her endocrinologist suggested birth control, which she rejected for personal and religious reasons. She is otherwise outwardly healthy, except for being 50 plus pounds overweight.
Blood testing done by her endocrinologist showed high liver enzymes, very high triglycerides, and high calcium. Cholesterol levels were normal. She was also anemic from constant blood loss. The endocrinologist suggested removal of the parathyroid gland. Her family physician suggested staying off cake.
Testing of vials (AK Test Kits 1-888-323-0625) of LH, FSH, prolactin, progesterone, estrogen(s), and PTH over liver, ovaries, uterus, thyroid, pituitary and thymus were all negative, producing neither weak nor hypertonic muscle.
Testing of the H. pylori vial over her abdomen was positive for hypertonic muscle. Weak muscle strengthened with SF734 (Thorne Research 1-800-228-1966) but hypertonic muscle did not return to normal. With the addition of Berbercap (Thorne) muscle tonicity was normalized. I thought it strange, because Berberis is an active ingredient in SF734, but I assumed her body knew better than I did, and she needed both.
She took both supplements, and called me a few days later saying she felt weak and nauseous. I told her to reduce the Berbercap, and slowly build up again, which she did.
I saw her again a few months later, as she had gone off to nursing school, and attempts to synchronize our schedules were not successful. She has had 3 successive normal menstrual cycles, and lost 15 pounds, both developments to her delight and the delight of her parents. Intermediate blood tests have shown normalization of liver enzymes, significant reduction of triglycerides, and normalization of calcium levels.
She can now consider dating for marriage, in accordance with her religious practices.
We know that among the roles of the liver is to detoxify the body and maintain hormonal balance. Here we have a case of something that would appear to be totally unrelated to hormonal balance creating havoc with her system. Thanks to your system of testing, we were able to identify the cause and turn around her life for the better.

6. Body Restoration An Owners Manual
An updated and expanded version of my first book Body Mechanics published almost 30 years ago. Part 1 has a chapter on each organ/gland. Each chapter teaches basic anatomy and physiology, causes and symptoms of dysfunction, as well as simple treatments your patient can do at home to complement your treatment. Part 2 explains the role of dysbiosis, food intolerances, toxic metals, nutritional deficiencies and neurotransmitter imbalances in health.
The book is a great review for the doctor, but better yet it is a great tool to sell to your patient. It will give them a better understanding of how their body works and the causes of health and disease, as well as the rationale of why you treat the way you do. It is very pro chiropractic. Volume discounts are available should you want to sell them to your patient and a kindle edition should hopefully be available in the future. Some time later in the year my wife hopes to publish a cookbook to complement this book.
