Dear Colleagues;
I hope you are well and enjoying the winter. Seems now that we are on Maui we have more docs visiting us for one on one seminars and it is great getting to know some of you better on these visits. There are 2 seminars on the mainland this spring to learn our techniques.
March 24th in Minneapolis taught by Noah Lebowitz DC. For info or to register click on https://michaellebowitzdc.com/html/2019Seminars/index.html
Also may 12th in Dallas taught by Michael and Noah Lebowitz DC. For info or to register click on https://michaellebowitzdc.com/html/2019Seminars/Dallas.html
For those of you that haven’t taken our class in a year or more there is much new info you will find valuable. The only prerequisite to taking our class is that you are proficient in basic muscle testing.
We do not anticipate taping these classes.
At the ICAK-USA conference in late July in San Diego we will be teaching the part of our class that deals with microbes. It will be a 4 hour Thursday morning session.
CASE HISTORY
Testimonial from mother of patient of Amy Zalbowitz. Crested Butte, CO:
My daughter Elizabeth had a positive test result for Lyme’s, with Borrelia, Babesia, and Bartonella present. This was in mid-June.
She had started with a Naturopath to try to make sense of her symptoms, which had begun fairly mildly a year earlier and led her to discover some lesions on her brain that over the months began to multiply. I’m forever grateful to this practitioner who knew enough to send her for the Lyme’s test. When the test came back positive, we began to explore options and learn about what Lyme’s meant.
Elizabeth’s first move, prescribed by the Naturopath, was a month-long course of antibiotics. That was the month of July. This treatment wiped her out, and we have no idea to what extent it helped with the spirochetes, but it was the advice that arrived in that moment and quite possibly it had some benefit.
We searched and read and talked to friends. Elizabeth felt weaker and worse. She was experiencing some brain fog and having trouble making decisions. Her emotions bounced her around, with fear having a huge presence. Her right leg and, to some extent her right arm, were both experiencing some challenges in intelligence. Fortunately for us, a friend, who had done research for her own family, recommended Amy Zalbowitz who muscle-tested and guided people through a protocol devised by Dr Lebowitz. This was in early September.
I believe Amy to be gifted in this work. She cut through a chaos of advice and information and found the most stream-lined and efficient way to come in and tackle the challenge of these super-intelligent bacteria. She works with high quality herbs and supplements. The main brand is Supreme Nutrition Products (800-922-1744), created and tested by Dr Lebowitz to be the most efficacious, the most powerfully helpful, for the most people.
Amy also muscle-tested Elizabeth for what foods to eliminate from her diet. The combination of diet and supplements took away foods that were irritants without nutritional benefits and added supplements to fill in deficiencies. Other supplements were detoxifiers, and many were herbal antibiotics, antivirals, and anti-spirochetals. The Lebowitz protocol, implemented by Amy Zalbowtiz, had 3 parts as we experienced it. 1. Kill the bugs. 2. Optimal nutrition for strength to recover and repair. 3. Detoxify.
In October, Amy tested that Elizabeth had cleared the Babesia and Bartonella.
By mid-November, Amy tested that Elizabeth had cleared all the bacteria. An MRI at that point showed that the Borrelia, which tend to inhabit a person’s brain, had caused more damage in terms of lesions. The next MRI, taken in early January almost 2 months later, showed no new damage and some shrinking in 3 of the earlier lesions.
Elizabeth is feeling and functioning much, much better. Her energy and strength are returning. Her right leg, which was the most impacted and at times had muscle spasticity and lack of responsiveness, is also improved. As this is written, it sounds smooth. There were setbacks. Repeatedly, I had to return to the concept that healing is not linear. There were pits and terrors along the way. So, for anyone embarking on this path, bring your determination and courage. Elizabeth did well because she adhered to Amy’s recommendations both in adding the supplements and in taking away some of her favorite foods. This is determination. And she stuck with it. Courage, even when there were days that she felt worse, as when there were big die-offs of bacteria, but it’s hard to tell at the time.
For all the mysteries and miracles on the continuing journey, I am grateful beyond all reasonable and unreasonable bounds! Grateful into the void beyond all stars and back! To Dr Lebowitz for his protocol and the line of supplements he founded. And to Amy for her skillful muscle-testing and the implementation of her results
This is Amy’s findings, comments, etc:
Case Study:
Elizabeth, a 25 year old woman first came to see me in September. She had been diagnosed with MS had multiple brain lesions and had a positive blood test for Lyme and numerous coinfections. She was losing the dexterity in her right arm and leg. She was struggling with severe fatigue, brain fog, had dental issues and her throat was swollen.
First appointment 9/8/2018
The following vials from the Lebowitz protocol kit and Food Kit A (AK Test Kits 970-201-7406) were positive: Babesia, Bartonella, Borelia, Candida, Fungus 1,Virus 4, Fibrin, Fibrinogen, Prothrombin, Chemical and Inhal, Caffeine, Dairy, Soy, Corn, Mushrooms
BFB1 Supreme, BFB2 Supreme, Morinda Supreme, Goldenthread Supreme, Takesumi Supreme, Endo Supreme (all Supreme Nutrition 800-922-1744), as well as Artecin (Thorne) and Seeking Health Optimal Magnesium strengthened.
I put her on an antifungal diet, had her avoid the foods she was sensitive too and had her take the above products.
Second appointment 10/5/18
Elizabeth lives 4 hours away in Denver so she wasn’t able to get back to Crested Butte as soon as was optimal. I really didn’t think she would be compliant on the protocol as when I told her she couldn’t have any sugar she was quite despondent. She proved me wrong, was totally compliant and tested that she had cleared all of the microbes except the Borrelia (muscle test finding)
She said she was compliant on the protocol and was feeling slightly better, but no huge improvement.
Borelia, caffeine, corn, and soy were positive.
BFB1 Supreme, BFB2 Supreme, Vidanga Supreme, Mimosa Supreme, Melia Supreme, Takesumi Supreme, Endo Supreme, Oral Supreme, Thorne D5000, Nordic Naturals Pro EPA, and Seeking Health Optimal Magnesium strengthened.
I told her to avoid foods that weakened and take the above products.
Third Appointment 10/26/18
Elizabeth said she was feeling much better, she felt like we were making progress.
Borrelia, Alpha Solanine (nightshades), Caffeine, Soy and Corn vials were positive.
BFB1 Supreme, BFB2 Supreme, Oral Supreme, Takesumi Supreme, Mucuna Supreme, Schisandra Supreme, Goldenthread Supreme, Houttunyia Supreme, Endo Supreme, Thorne D5000, Thorne Artecin, Nordic Naturals Pro EPA, Thorne Iodine Tyrosine, and Seeking Health Optimal Magnesium strengthened.
I tend to put clients that continue to test for Borrelia (and/or Bartonella) on a more aggressive protocol than other clients. Elizabeth hadn’t had any negative reactions to the previous two protocols. Soon after beginning this protocol, Elizabeth said her symptoms had improved by 80%. But shortly after the dramatic improvement, she began having severe muscle spasms in her right arm and leg. She was having 30 to 40 of them per day.
I spoke with Dr Noah Lebowitz before Elizabeth’s 4th appointment and he thought that because she had healed so quickly that she likely dumped metals and they were causing the spasms. My testing supported that theory.
Fourth Appointment 11/16/18
Elizabeth looked much healthier, but she had 2 bouts of muscle spasms while she was in my office.
Mixed Dental, Industrial and Environmental Chemicals 1 and 2, Mercury, Titanium, Silver, Manganese, Iron, Caffeine, Corn, and Soy were positive. Borrelia no longer weakened.
BFB1 Supreme, BFB2 Supreme, Hemoguard Supreme, Takesumi Supreme, MT Supreme, Manjistha Supreme, Thera Supreme, Mucuna Supreme, Thorne Potassium Citrate, Nordic Naturals Pro Epa, Seeking Health Optimal Magnesium.
Elizabeth’s spasms decreased slowly over the next couple of weeks. They had stopped completely before her next appointment.
Fifth Appointment 12/5/18
Elizabeth looked vibrant and healthy, she said her symptoms were 98% improved.
Mercury, Corn, and caffeine were positive.
MT Supreme, Takesumi Supreme, Oral Supreme, Thorne Basic Nutrients IV, Thorne Zinc Picolinate, Thorne Potassium Citrate, Nordic Naturals Pro EPA, Thorne Iodine Tyrosine, and Seeking Health Optimal Magnesium strengthened.
DrL comment- As Amy said we rarely give this many supplements but with someone as severe as Elizabeth it can be warranted and this was great progress over a 3 month period and only 5 appointments.

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 https://www.amazon.com/Body-Restoration-Owners-Manual-ebook/dp/B0050653C4/
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. Body Restoration Cookbook
6. God’s Preventative Medicine- my latest book. 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 God's Preventative Medicine
