Dear Colleagues;
I hope you are well. It was great seeing many of you at our LA and NYC seminars last month. We hope to see more of you at the upcoming ICAK meeting in Washington DC in July.
We will be back at our Tacoma office in May and available to teach one on one seminars there. You can call or email for details (also described towards end of this newsletter).
Also our 2016 seminar is available on DVD and/or Vimeo off our website http://michaellebowitzdc.com/html/seminar.html
Email/Case history from a doc in Illinois
Hi Michael and Noah.
Couple of quick cases.
Yesterday a patient was feeling under the weather. Kind of flu-like, headache, low-energy. She said she thought it began after flossing with some sharp dental floss that caused a lot of bleeding the night before. She normally uses oral defense (Supreme Nutrition) and did that night after flossing. I thought I'd do your test where you rub the gums and then check for a weakening. She did weaken and oral defense strengthened. She applied what she called a hefty dose to her guns right after that. Within minutes she reported feeling better and within an hour felt like her usual good energy self. It's now 24 hours later and she still feels good.
Next was a case from several months ago. It's from a practice I used to work at, I saw a man monthly who had prostate symptoms, and multiple joint aches from previous injuries. He had lived a wild life as a youth (motorcycle accidents etc.) and now was a farmer in his 60s. Otherwise he was in pretty good health and had a great attitude. Even though I had done injury recall technique on all his old injuries and would adjust his subluxations, I couldn't get his pain level but below 3/10. At this office visit he showed for parasites (vials from AK test kit970-201-7406). I had ordered some Supreme Nutrition products for the practice but because I was leaving the office the doctor stopped ordering the products. When I went out to look at what I could test I found Zymex 2, Bromelain CLA from biotics, Dysbiocide from biotics, and the only bottle of SNP left - Lu Rong (Supreme).
The other products mentioned didn't test well but surprisingly Lu Rong Supreme (Supreme Nutrition 800-922-1744) tested well for the parasite issue, and I suppose just generally for him hormonally and for the joint pain relief. He returned a month later and said his pain was now a 1/10. He was going to be moving to Florida soon and I told him to continue with a cap a day indefinitely until he can see someone else to check him. I suppose the lesson in that case was a natural product can probably have a broader affect than what the sciences indicate currently.
Again thanks for great products and assessment techniques – Matt
Another short case history- Jeff McCloskey Colorado
71 year old man with chief complaint of sciatica and low back pain, moderate to severe for 6 months. Said he eats very cleanly but smokes 2 cigars a day and drinks at least 3 cups of strong coffee a day for many decades. On multiple medications including pain killers. First appointment treated weak AK reflexes of ileocecal valve, spleen and adrenal, also adjusted and worked on iliotibial band. Mild improvement after first treatment. Tested with Lebowitz protocol on second appointment, found hypertonicity to Methyl-Xanthine vials (AK test kits) which were negated by Body Guard Supreme (Supreme Nutrition) (which also strengthened a weak latissimus in the clear). Instructed to take Body Guard Supreme, 2/2x a day, cut caffeine and increase water intake. Same reflexes still weak, treated neurolymphatics. Third visit (one week after first appointment) still reported no real lasting improvements. (Also did some e-stim on Piriformis, TFL's and/or hamstrings, mechanical traction on low back and acupuncture most of these appointments). Fourth visit, 12 days after initial appointment, reported "100% improvement" in sciatica and low back symptoms, strutted around office to show how good he could walk, said he was feeling the best he has been in 8 months, stated that he walked two miles over the weekend, now reported only mild pain in popliteal fossa and gastrocnemius.
DrL comment- Caffeine and other methylxanthines have had a high correlation with sciatica and it can take a week or more of cessation for the patient to pass through the withdrawal period and see the results. Body Guard Supreme being hepato supportive is a good supplement along with Schisandra Supreme
For those of you that like to read journal articles, Supreme Nutrition on their facebook page has been posting about twice weekly articles gleaned from the literature about herbs in their products. Some might broaden your knowledge on what type patients to utilize them on. Follow the page

Beryllium
With our provocative testing we have been finding more and more patients test positive on the beryllium vial. Sources include
§ Aerospace (aircraft braking systems, engines, satellites, space telescope)
§ Automotive (anti- lock brake systems, ignitions)
§ Ceramic manufacturing (rocket covers, semiconductor chips)
§ Defense (components for nuclear weapons, missile parts, guidance systems, optical systems)
§ Dental labs (alloys in crowns, bridges, and dental plates)
§ Electronics (x- rays, computer parts, telecommunication parts, automotive parts)
§ Energy (microwave devices, relays)
§ Medicine (laser devices, electro-medical devices, X-ray windows)
§ Nuclear energy (heat shields, reactors)
§ Sporting goods (golf clubs, bicycles)
§ Telecommunications (optical systems, wireless base stations)
It must be getting in the air. Is it from the anti-lock braking systems or somewhere else. Hard to say. Takesumi (Supreme Nutrition) does a good job in clearing it up but if someone has insight on where it is coming from, please share it with me.

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
