Dear Colleagues:
I hope you are having a great summer. We have been busy with patients, working on a new forthcoming product, etc. We have had a number of physicians come this summer for our one on one seminars. It is a great deal and we encourage you to either make the trip out to Grand Junction this summer or Honolulu this winter (great tax write off). The class runs from about 9-4 and covers my protocol as well as any other AK topics you desire as well as treatment for you and whoever you may choose to bring along. My website has more details.
Product Tidbit
1) We are revising our recommended dose of HemoGuard Supreme (Supreme Nutrition 1-800-922-1744) from 2 twice a day between meals to one three times daily (between meals and bed). We have had excellent clinical feedback on the product and it seems like we slightly overestimated the dose needed to achieve its therapeutic effect. It acts to prevent and aid hypercoagulation problems which can lead to major cardiovascular events, miscarriages, migraines, etc. I encourage you to read the write up on this product on the Supreme Nutrition website. Don’t give it to patients on pharmaceutical blood thinners. Our 2012 DVD also has our new protocol on how to use AK to help evaluate hypercoagulation. I feel this is a very important technique as it has the potential to save lives. Also if you purchase the coagulation kit from AK Test Kits, I will be happy to forward you my 2 written pages on the technique.
Case History- from Amy Zalbowitz, Crested Butte, CO
Lynn, a 67 year old woman came to see me complaining of “feeling toxic”. She was recovering from her second back surgery, had been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis decades ago, suffered from moderate to severe anxiety, and was having trouble sleeping. She said she had been on Methotrexate “forever” and it made her feel horrible. Lynn was also on a statin drug. She tested positive for the following vials (AK Test Kits 1-888-323-0625): Mixed Virus1, Mixed Fungus 1, Mixed Bacteria1, Candida Krusei, Candida Glabrata, EBV,Giardia, Histamine, Alpha Solanine, Zein, and Soy. I put her on Morinda Supreme, Takesumi Supreme, Lurong Supreme (all from Supreme Nutrition 1-800-922-1744) and Now’s powdered GABA for her sleep and anxiety. I also told her to follow the antifungal diet and stay off the foods she was sensitive to for at least three weeks.
She came back a few months later and said she had more energy and felt much better overall. She was still on the meds, but really wanted to get off them, especially the Methotrexate. She tested for Mixed Chlamydia, Mixed Protozoa, Mixed Rickettsia, Alpha Solanine, Zein and Soy. I put her on Lurong Supreme, Thera Supreme, Schisandra Supreme, Takesumi Supreme (all Supreme Nutrition) and Meriva (Thorne), and told her to continue to avoid the foods she was sensitive to. (Editors note- with findings like this we do not know if she contracted these last “microbes” since the first visit or if they were a “deeper layer” of findings so to speak, that only showed after the initial findings were cleared. With our present protocol we feel we find most if not all microbial problems on the first visit, but it is possible that some deep seated ones might not show up).
Lynn called me a few months later and said that she was feeling great except for a period of time right after she took the Methotrexate. She took it once a month and felt horrible for the week right after. She wanted to get off it, but her MD wouldn’t return her phone calls. She said she was going to switch MD’s and have the other MD help her get off the medications as she felt she no longer needed them.
I tried to follow up with Lynn a week later, but never heard back from her. Months went by with no word from Lynn, but I ran into her at the Fourth of July Parade and she came up and gave me a big hug. She said all her symptoms were gone and she was off all her medications. She was tested by an MD for Rheumatoid Arthritis and it was GONE. I asked her what she attributed this to and she said with a smile “probably to you and what you had me do”. She continues to stay away from nightshades and all corn products.
Editors note- ideally Lynn should have been checked more often but for some reason, some patients even if doing wonderfully will not come in as often as is ideal. With our protocols it is ideal to check patients at least every two weeks till symptoms leave. There is no harm and sometimes in more severe cases it is better to check them every three to four days to make sure the supplements are tolerated well and everything is going OK (though in most cases every two weeks is adequate). Many of us have patients that come from long distances- I have had at least a few patients fly in over the past week, so we have to make due and hopefully have the ability to refer them to someone trained in this work closer to where the patient lives for follow up visits.

5. 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 is also available.To find out more and/or order, go to the website: www.bodyrestorationanownersmanual.com.

The material is the most comprehensive and the filming and editing is by far the best we have ever done. This DVD set brings you our whole protocol- of testing for and treating dysbiosis, food and metal issues, organ dysfunction, supplement needs, as well as our new work on hypercoagulation, and much more. Treating patients with this protocol will help you alleviate many musculoskeletal, gastro-intestinal, and endocrine disorders as well as many auto-immune and inflammatory conditions, headaches, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, as well as many other conditions. All you need is a basic knowledge of muscle testing to be able to utilize these techniques. The DVD is $250 and available on our website http://michaellebowitzdc.com/html/seminar.html
If you took one of our 2012 seminars in Phoenix, LA or Dallas we are discounting the DVD to attendees. Attendees should call (970-257-0311) for specific info on price and how to pay.
For those of you that want an inexpensive introduction to our work we are selling our 2010 DVD while supplies last for $80. It is not as up to date or comprehensive as our 2012 but covers much of the same material and could be a good starting point if finances are an issue. Also if you buy the 2010 DVD we will include a copy of the 2012 notes. Once we sell out of the 2010 we will not produce more.
