Dear Colleagues;
Happy New Year! I hope that it is a healthy happy year for you all.
Upcoming Seminars New York and LA
We have 2 seminars planned this spring. The first one will be in Los Angeles on March 12th and then in NYC on March 19th. Hotels are as follows
March 12
SHERATON GATEWAY LOS ANGELES
6101 West Century Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90045 310-642-1111
March 19
SHERATON LAGUARDIA EAST HOTEL
135-20 39th Avenue, Flushing, NY 11354 718-460-6666
You will learn quick and easy ways to test for and treat:
· dysbiosis (fungal, parasitic, bacterial, viral, Lyme)
· food sensitivities/toxicities
· metal toxicity
· chemical intolerance
· blood coagulation problems
· mycotoxins
· biofilms
· SIBO
· nutritional deficiencies and reactions etc.
You will find using these protocols will help many chronic conditions in patients including but not limited to fatigue, fibromyalgia, arthritis, most gastro-intestinal issues, dermatological conditions, lyme related issues, asthma, headaches of all types, autoimmune issues, chronic musculoskeletal conditions, etc. We will also be teaching new provocation techniques since we last taught in NYC and LA which greatly help minimize false negatives and find hidden issues we often miss with applied kinesiology and other muscle testing techniques, while also speeding up the testing process. The class is suited for both the beginning and advanced practitioner.
These techniques have been successful at increasing doctor’s referrals as well give the physician a broader understanding of chronic health issues.
To register go to michaellebowitzdc.com. Students and first year docs as well as assistants can get a 50% discount but must register by phone. Call 970-201-1457. The last 4 of 5 seminars have sold out early as we limit attendance to make sure the workshops gets all the needed individual attention the practitioners need. Please register early to reserve a spot. We will not be filming these classes.
Skills in basic muscle testing (how to discern a strong muscle from a weak one) are the only prerequisites. This class will count towards ICAK diplomate hours.
Feedback on Mucuna Supreme (Supreme Nutrition 800-922-1744) from Dr Gaie Feuerstein
“Mucuna Supreme has yielded some amazing and surprising results. Our first case was a former Marine with PTSD; he had had violent nightmares every night for years. His wife would have to wake him up and then quickly jump away to avoid being hit. After his first dose of Mucuna his violent nightmares stopped! He reports he still has restless dreams, but the difference is astounding. My theory is that the Mucuna gave his brain just enough additional neurotransmitter activity to enable inhibition to take place.
A more typical case is a senior lady with mild dementia. Namenda did not seem to be helping her so her doctor did not refill her prescription; she started on 1 Mucuna per day and the family reported within 2 weeks that she would interact better and play board games with them.
I have a middle aged female patient under a great deal of stress who swears she never wants to be without Mucuna ( although she's only been taking it two weeks, and I expect she won't need more than one or two bottles due to her age and general good health).
Since Mucuna's usefulness doesn't seem limited to the aged, I am testing it on young people whose brains are just exhausted, for instance on a young lady with headaches and difficulty concentrating after getting her BS, Masters and CPA, plus new job, wedding, etc., all in a short period of time. I also have found it tests well on some teenagers with learning issues. I expect short term use in young people since I also work with their diets to enhance brain function, but it's too soon to tell. I will update you as soon as I get a little more feedback. It is great to have another tool for the brain - more and more commonly a problem these days.”

Personal Year End Note For Those That Know Me
Dear Friends:
2016 has been quite an eventful year in our house. It started with me getting a blood clot in my saphenous vein that appears to have been from a prolotherapy shot. Our older son then married followed by my mother and mother in law passing away. We packed up and moved from Scottsdale, AZ to Gig Harbor, WA. Our younger son Noah bought Supreme Nutrition Products on the retirement of Gale Weisenbarger (the now former owner) so we could maintain quality control and focus on the AK community. Lastly Cynthia and I became grandparents for the first time.
I’ve known a lot of you for quite some time- some even from my first seminars with Wally Schmitt back in 1987. I cherish all our friendships and professional relationships and look forward to their continuance. Feel free to contact me if I can ever be of service.
MATERIALS AVAILABLE FROM DR. MICHAEL LEBOWITZ
1. DVD or Vimeo: Treating the Complex Patient 2016: This seminar, approximately 4 1/2 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, spirochete, and viral infections), food sensitivities, food toxin intolerance, hypercoagulation problems, toxic metal issues, endocrine dysfunction, nutritional imbalances, chronic pain and subluxations, fibromyalgia, etc. The seminar is suited for both the novice and the advanced practitioners in our work and is much updated from our last one. A complete set of advanced notes accompanies the DVD. To order go to http://michaellebowitzdc.com/html/seminar.html
2. Personal Seminars with Dr. Lebowitz: Dr. Lebowitz teaches seminars to one or two doctors at a time at his offices in Honolulu, HI and Gig Harbor. This is probably the best way to learn our protocols with a personalized, hands on experience. Cost is $400 per physician. For more info or to schedule call us at 970-623-9565. Noah Lebowitz DC is also available to teach the class.
3. Test Kits for Dr. Lebowitz protocol - Call Cynthia at AK Test Kits 970 201-7406 or see our website http://www.michaellebowitzdc.com for more details. These kits will greatly simplify and speed up your testing making you more efficient and accurate in patient assessment. These are “diagnostic kits”. Supplement kits are ordered directly from Supreme Nutrition 1-800-922-1744.
4. 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 for $1.99 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 or in paperback http://www.amazon.com/body-restoration-Dr-Michael-Lebowitz/dp/146100294X/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1432251114&sr=8-2&keywords=michael+lebowitz+kapadia
5. Body Restoration Cookbook - This companion volume to the above book was written by Cynthia Lebowitz and is now available free online (donations accepted). A wonderful tool for your patients as it contains almost 100 recipes- most without gluten, dairy, nightshades, etc. http://www.bodyrestorationanownersmanual.com/html/Cookbook.html
6. God’s Preventative Medicine- my latest book is now available in paperback. It explains how the Levitical Priests dealt with fungal dysbiosis both preventatively and treatment wise as well as the reasons behind some of the other health laws of the Torah. It is a short easy to understand book and fascinating for the student of health and the Bible http://www.amazon.com/Gods-Preventative-Medicine-Discoveries-Instructions/dp/150892824X/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1432251151&sr=1-2
7. Phone consultations - Dr. Lebowitz is happy to consult with you about protocol questions or difficult patients. Please take into account that we are on Hawaiian (or Arizonan) time and only call between 7AM-5PM M-F 970-623-9565. There is no charge for short consults if you are a fellow physician.
