Dear Colleagues
I hope you all are doing well and had great holidays. We have been busy here with patients, doctors, family visits etc. Also working on a new Supreme product and two products for some former MLB players- an energy formula and a protein product that should be higher quality than most if not all the stuff out there. I hope to tell you more about all these over the next few months.
Our book Body Restoration an Owners Manual has been in the top 100 kindle books all month in the field of alternative medicine and was #1 for a 3 day period. It is on kindle for $1.99 (and a PDF from the website is also $1.99) and is a great book to educate your patients on the type of integrative medicine we all do. If you buy the PDF and want to copy specific chapters to hand to patients- e.g. dysbiosis, adrenals, etc and ask me- I will give permission to do so as long as you put my name on it, the name of the book, and make no changes to it.
It appears I will probably be teaching a pre-conference seminar at the ICAK meeting in LA in June as well as presenting my paper on mycotoxins during the regular session. Will still be teaching one on one classes here in Hawaii through February and then back in Colorado starting late March. See last page for details.
Case History
My son Noah is a 6th trimester student at Parker and practices AK on his friends. He sent me a case history.
A 21 year old female I had treated previously told me of a recurring stye (hordeolum) she has had since she was 11 years old. Her eye would be visibly puffy/inflamed from the stye. It would occur every 3 weeks on her left eye, and often became extremely painful, hurting each time she blinked. During a normal check she mentioned having the stye problem and how it was currently present.
I initially checked for any microbial problems (vials from AK Test Kits 1-808-888-5854) testing over GV-20, but nothing showed up. Thinking it may be a local problem I tested all of the microbes over the stye itself, but still nothing showed up. I then had the patient TL the stye on her left eye, but it did not weaken a strong indicator muscle. Knowing how sometimes you can get a false negative with a TL, I tested the patient holding the biomagnetic reflex scanner (Mid American marketing 1-800-922-1744) over her eye, and when the red end was placed over the stye, a strong indicator muscle was now weakened.
While holding the red end over the stye I had the patient TL various NL reflexes to see what would negate the weakness, and the liver NL reflex showed up. I then checked all of the microbes over the liver NL reflex and this time the Mixed Parasite vial weakened a strong indicator when it was tested over the liver NL. Vital Guard Supreme and Schisandra Supreme (Supreme Nutrition 1-800-922-1744) both negated the weakness (testing with both of them under the south pole of a block magnet over the liver NL).
I put the patient on 4 Vital Guard 3 times per day and 2 Schisandra 2 times per day. One and a half weeks after starting the treatment the patient reported a minor painless stye that only lasted one day, and since (5 months later) hasn't had any more recurrences!
The fun part of your protocol is if something doesn't show up during a
typical scan, you can treat the case like a puzzle to get to the root
of the problem and fix a problem a patient didn't think would ever be
fixed! I never would have thought to check over her liver for a stye
problem, but as Dr. Goodheart would say "anything can cause anything".
Doctor Questions/Comments
1. from Jonathan Lubetzky DC in Australia
Q: Do you ever find that sometimes Supreme Nutrition products will not strengthen a muscle in the clear, but once you have tested the appropriate vial and found a weakness a Supreme product may now test? (almost as if the brain was unaware until you made it aware by testing the vial)
A: That does happen at times. I think that testing vials brings the bodies’ attention to problems it might be suppressing and/or compensating for and until you bring it to the surface so to speak, you may not find the correct remedy. Sometimes like Noah did above (though it is rare), you even need to be more creative to make it come to the surface.
2. Michael:
I wanted to let you know that since implementing your technique, my practice has grown substantially. Results are what get patients to spread the word about any practitioner, and my success with resolving so many health issues has been wonderful!! I am excited to tell you that patients are getting better much faster and staying well!! I have had numerous patients come in with autoimmune diagnoses and not need to take medications any longer. A patient of mine has been on methotrexate for fibromyalgia type symptoms and after using Takesumi, Camu, Bodygaurd, Schisandra, and Manjistha (all Supreme Nutrition) to help with her heavy metal overload she was able to get off the methotrexate (with her MD’s permission) and is feeling better than she has felt in four years.
Another patient with MMN (multifocal motor neuropathy) has been getting injections of immunoglobulin, which supposedly weren't working for him, and his doctors told him they were considering putting him on ALS drugs. I muscle tested him and found parasites and protozoa. He took Morinda, Manjistha, Melia, Goldenthread, Reishi (all Supreme Nutrition). After 5 months of starting on supplements his doctors informed him that he is stable and improving and no need to start on ALS drugs. Also, he indicates all of his musculoskeletal pain is gone, he has much more energy, and has returned to lifting weights at the gym. These stories are what make me so grateful to be in this profession and do this kind of work!! I am grateful for your help and look forward to all the new supreme products and new test vials that come available.
Thanks again and hope to come back for another one on one next year!!!!
Best,
Dr. Lou Granirer NYC
3. Hi Michael,
Wish I could say I use your coagulability protocol just as you recommend, but being an NAET as well as an AK practitioner, I don't quite color between the lines. The diagnosis is wonderful, and I do find perhaps 30% of my cases to be positive. Hemoguard Supreme is also usually positive as a remedy.
Then I use whichever vials that cause the positive diagnosis in an NAET treatment and supplement appropriately. On a return visit the patient is usually negative with all vials. Occasionally I find fewer of the vials are positive, sometimes different than the originals, and treat those with NAET. Two NAET treatments are usually sufficient, though I continue to check these patients on future visits.
My patients with family or personal history of heart or stroke, etc., are very happy to know they have an improved level of health, thanks to your work.

NEW TEST KIT from: AK Test Kits 1-808-888-5854
INTERLEUKIN TEST KIT (12 Vials) (Product Code 8089)
Interleukin (in-ter-LOO-kin) A biological response modifier (substance that can improve the body's natural response to infection and disease) that helps the immune system fight infection and cancer. These substances are normally produced by leukocytes (white blood cells) and other cells in the body. They are also made in the laboratory for use in treating cancer and other diseases. (www.nci.nih.gov and www.cancer.gov)
IL 01 | Interleukin-1 | Stimulates the growth and action of immune system cells that fight disease, by participating in the regulation of immune responses, inflammatory reactions, and hematopoiesis (development of mature blood cells). Also helps leukocytes pass through blood vessel walls to sites of infection and causes fever by affecting areas of the brain that control body temperature. |
IL 02 | Interleukin-2 | Induces the proliferation of responsive T-cells, and acts on some B-cells, via receptor-specific binding, as a growth factor and antibody production stimulant. Linked to pruritus (itching). |
IL 03 | Interleukin-3 | Regulates blood-cell production by controlling the production, differentiation and function of granulocytes and macrophages, so enhances the immune system's ability to fight tumor cells. |
IL 04 | Interleukin-4 | Enhances the immune system's ability to fight tumor cells; has an important function in B-cell responses. A key regulator in humoral and adaptive immunity. |
IL 05 | Interleukin-5 / Eosinophil Differentiation Factor/ EDF | Regulates eosinophil growth and activation, and thus plays an important role in diseases associated with increased levels of eosinophils, including asthma and allergic rhinitis. |
IL 06 | Interleukin-6 / B-Cell Stimulatory Factor-2 /BSF-2 | A biomarker for inflammation and chronic disease. Plays an essential role in the final differentiation of B-cells into IG-secreting cells, as well as inducing myeloma/plasmacytoma growth, nerve cell differentiation, and, in hepatocytes, acute-phase reactants. Involved in diabetes, atherosclerosis, depression Alzheimer's disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, prostate cancer and rheumatoid arthritis. |
IL 07 | Interleukin-7 | Enhances the immune system's ability to fight tumor cells. IL-7 is made by cells in the bone marrow, and can stimulate T cells and B cells to grow. Promotes acute lymphoblastic leukemia, T cell lymphoma. Elevated levels of IL-7 have also been detected in the plasma of HIV-infected patients |
IL 08 | Interleukin-8 / Neutrophil Chemotactic Factor | Induces chemotaxis in target cells, primarily neutrophils but also other granulocytes, causing them to migrate toward the site of infection. Also induces phagocytosis once they have arrived. Known to be a potent promoter of angiogenesis (growth of new blood vessels from existing ones, and necessary for tumours to grow). Often associated with inflammation (e.g. in gingivitis and psoriasis). If a pregnant mother has high levels, there is an increased risk of schizophrenia in her offspring. High levels have also been shown to reduce the likelihood of positive responses to antipsychotic medication in schizophrenia. |
IL 09 | Interleukin-9 | Serves as a growth factor for early lymphoid cells of both B- and T-cell lineages. supports IL-2 independent and IL-4 independent growth of helper T-cells |
IL 10 | Interleukin-10 / Human Cytokine Synthesis Inhibitory Factor/ CSIF | Inhibits the synthesis of a number of cytokines, including IFN-gamma, IL-2, IL-3, TNF, and GM-CSF produced by activated macrophages and by helper T cells. Mice studies suggest it is an essential immuno-regulator in the intestinal tract.; may be relevant in Crohn's disease. |
IL 11 | Interleukin-11 / Adipogenesis Inhibitory Factor / AGIF | Stimulates megakaryocytopoiesis, resulting in increased production of platelets, as well as activating osteoclasts, inhibiting epithelial cell proliferation and apoptosis, and inhibiting macrophage mediator production. May reduce toxicity to the gastrointestinal system resulting from cancer therapy. |
IL 12 | Interleukin-12 | Enhances the ability of the immune system to kill tumor cells and may interfere with blood flow to the tumor. involved in the stimulation and maintenance of Th1 cellular immune responses, including the normal host defence against various intracellular pathogens, such as Leishmania, Toxoplasma, Measles virus, and HIV. Also has an important role in pathological Th1 responses, such as in inflammatory bowel disease and multiple sclerosis. Administration of IL-12 to people suffering from autoimmune diseases was shown to worsen the autoimmune phenomena. This is believed to be due to its key role in induction of Th1 immune responses. |
