Dear Colleagues;
I hope you all are doing well. A couple of loose ends to tie up first; If you’d like to order a physical copy of my 2013 DVD with notes etc., call the Triad of Health Central office at 913-387-5603. This class was filmed at ICAK-USA in LA in June with all my newest work on biofilms, mycotoxins, and finding and treating hidden infections that we miss on normal AK analysis (this happens quite often), as well as some review on food toxins, toxic metals, etc. This is a great class for those that have taken a previous class with me. If you haven’t previously taken a class, I recommend the 2012 class available via online learning at icakusa.com. Both are very reasonably priced.
Also for those of you that have the vaccination kit put out by AK Test Kits (1-808-321-0826, this is Hawaii time so call during the hours of 9-5 Hawaii time please), there is a new updated influenza vial for this year and also a new composite vial for the vaccine kit if you would like to order them.
Interesting article
For those of you that would like to read an interesting article on the link between Chlamydia Pneumoniae and coronary artery disease go to http://www.functionalmedicineuniversity.com/public/884.cfm. I’d like to thank Barbara Wolf for calling this to my attention. I often find the Chlamydia composite vial tests positive on patients but never thought of checking coronary function as a result, but I will now.
Case History- Michael Lebowitz DC
Recently I had a call from a patient I saw 30 years ago when I was practicing in West Virginia. I believe I had only seen him once. I also saw his “close relative” once and you can read about it below. I have no idea what I did or found in either case. Anyway he flew in to see me from Nicaragua and stayed for a week over which I treated him 3 times. He wrote me the following:
“I hadn’t felt good in years. Each day was a tossup between migraines, being exhausted, gaining another pound, muscle pain, being extremely irritated, being extremely unfocused, or all the above and more. “Life was a real treat.”
“I decided, during August 2013, that I needed to see Dr. Lebowitz.”
“I had known the Doctor from my childhood days in West Virginia nearly 30 years back. Not only did the Doctor help me to find various allergies, but he helped my very close relative permanently overcome severe depression.”
“During my recent visits, Dr. Lebowitz found that I had weakened to casein, zein, caffeine, garlic, and oats. Also I tested weak on a virus, two microbes in the lyme family, and a fungus. On a less obvious but more terrifying note, Dr. Lebowitz determined that I was prone to hypercoagulation, and may have a less then optimally functioning liver.”
“Dr. Lebowitz immediately restricted me to a diet avoiding the allergens and all foods which the fungus would like. I was prescribed Illicium Supreme, Schisandra Supreme and Morinda Supreme (Supreme Nutrition 1-800-922-1744), as well as Pharma Gaba (Thorne). Within two days I was feeling noticeably better. Within a week I was a new man. Now I’m superman. No headaches, full of energy all day every day, down eleven pounds and counting, no muscle pain, focus like a chess master, and patience like never before. It is a pleasure to wake up. All within two weeks of first treatment!”
“To sum it all up, Dr. Lebowitz and what he does is THE REAL DEAL.”
I just heard from Lenny the other day and more time has passed and he says he is operating at 200-300% more efficiency than before the visit and wants me to treat his whole management team (he is a very successful business owner). It is interesting to have the patient take what you have said and put it in their own words. We really aren’t diagnosing with muscle testing and have to make that clear. Lenny has his own personal chef and was 100% compliant which made things a lot easier. It is wonderful to have such highly motivated patients and I am glad he responded so quickly. We also treated his wife who also did extremely well.
Case History- Jeff Robinson DC
A 27 year old female presents with right lower rib pain, severe enough to be on oxycodone and tramadol. It has been going on for 2 years with the last 6 months being the worst. Her gallbladder was removed in 2011 to correct the problem, then her appendix in March of 2013. Previous chiropractic adjustments had been no help. The patient stated the pain was 10/10 without oxycodone/tramadol. She tested for Mixed Rickettsia, Mercury, Alpha Solanine, Gliadin, Albumin, Caffeine, Mixed Fungus, Mixed Chlamydia, Mixed Virus 2 (vials by AK Test Kits 1-808-321-0826). The patient was put Morinda Supreme, Takesumi Supreme, and Schizandra Supreme (Supreme Nutrition 1-800-922-1744) and taken off the foods that tested positive. A follow up phone call with the patient reported pain levels of 3/10 a 70% improvement! She said that she was going to stop the oxycodone due to fact she was doing so well. On the 2 week follow up appointment, the patient reported no pain, so much so that she had stopped the supplements. When asked why she would stop, she stated "I had no pain and didn't think I still needed them." I had to reeducate her about what we were doing and she still tested for Takesumi Supreme, Morinda Supreme, Melia Supreme and BFB-1 (Supreme Nutrition). She continues to do well.
Dr L: I never stop being amazed at how many musculoskeletal conditions respond so dramatically when treating foods, metals and microbes. That is why we always address those issues starting with the first visit as the results are very rewarding.

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 recommend 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. It is available on kindle at http://www.amazon.com/Body-Restoration-Owners-Manual-ebook/dp/B0050653C4/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1353354004&sr=1-1 If you don’t have a kindle http://bodyrestorationanownersmanual.com/html/Order.html and we will send you a PDF form.
