Dear Colleagues:
I hope you all are well. Final details for our upcoming seminars in March will follow at the end of the newsletter. These are our only group classes until at least the fall and possibly all year. We will be attending the ICAK International Meeting in July in Washington DC and presenting 4 case studies there.
Case History Involving Test Kits- Noah Lebowitz DC
I have a patient complaining of neuropathy going down his left leg and experiencing burning in both of his feet (especially the left). The first three times I treated him in addition to doing our whole protocol, I did a lot of structural work. Each time I found a hypertonic left TFL and Rectus Femoris that would only be turned off by the kidney Chapman Reflex. He also had bilateral weak psoas (no occiput fixation). On my first visit I tested to see what would negate the Kidney CR from my test kit and it was Cal-Mag Citrate from Thorne Research. It tested really well to take away the hypertonicity as well as strengthen the kidneys.
On the second and third visits he was feeling better overall from the protocol work I'd done on him. The legs/feet had improved somewhat also, but the hypertonic muscles were still there, kidneys blocked it, etc. Ca/Mag still negated it, so on the second visit I upped his dosage. Third visit, no change.
Then I tested the actual bottle of Cal-Mag Citrate I had given him, and it weakened him! My vial was from a much older batch and tested fine, but whatever was in the new bottle was contraindicated. I then was able to test forms of Calcium and Magnesium together and found two (from their actual bottles) that tested well together.
After the fourth visit the hypertonic muscles were gone, as well as the kidney CR!
So just a reminder that what you have in your test kit isn't always the same as what's in the bottle!!! That's why Supreme always sends out a new test vial for each new batch of raw materials used, so what you test in your vial is the exact same as what you have on your shelf.
Case History from a doc who learned our protocol recently via DVD-
Kevan Evans, DC
A 7 year old male came in complaining of severe itching and bleeding sores on the whole body, worse on the arms, legs and neck. He had suffered from this skin condition since he was 2 weeks old. He had seen multiple dermatologists and was diagnosed with severe eczema. Treatment consisted of “lots of ointments and creams”, Benadryl, and taping oven mitts to his hands at night to prevent scratching. While in my office, he was constantly itching and scratching various parts of his body. His arms and legs were red with eczema like rashes and open sores from scratching, some infected. His history included seasonal allergies and asthma.
I found dairy and gluten sensitivities with general AK testing. Since I was new to the Lebowitz testing protocol, they were from out of state, and having good results in the past with eczema by treating the dairy allergy, I had them remove dairy and gluten from his diet. I recommended a digestive enzyme and skin protomorphogen.
Upon scheduled return, the symptoms were worse, I went over the dietary recommendations and they confirmed elimination of dairy and gluten. Exam and AK testing were consistent with my diagnosis and treatment plan. Therefore, I had them continue one more week to remove toxins and heal.
Upon scheduled return, the symptoms had not improved. Although I had only been using the Lebowitz protocol for a couple of months at this time, I decided to test him with the Lebowitz protocol. He tested positive for the following composite vials: Fungus 3, Heliobacter pylori, Parasites 2, Virus 1, Chlamydia, Babesia, and Protozoa. He also tested positive to biofilm. He showed food sensitivities to: Solanine, and Casein (AK Test Kits 970-201-7406- Lebowitz protocol kit). After the testing, I asked his mom about dietary sources of solanine. She said after I took him off of gluten, they had increased their intake of nightshades, especially potatoes which explained the increase in symptoms.
For supplements, I tested and put him on: Schisandra Supreme, Thera Supreme, and BFB1 (Supreme Nutrition 800,922-1744). I continued the digestive enzyme and discontinued skin protomorphogen.
He showed improvement the next day and continued to improve. It took about 2 months to completely heal after 7 years of symptoms.

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
March 19
SHERATON LAGUARDIA EAST HOTEL
135-20 39th Avenue, Flushing, NY 11354
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. Cost is $250. Students and first year docs as well as assistants can get a 50% discount but must register by phone. Call 970-201-1457. 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 if needed.
Noah Lebowitz will be teaching one on one seminars of the technique in his Tacoma office as his schedule allows and I will be teaching one on one in both Tacoma and Honolulu as my schedule allows.
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
