Dear Colleagues;
Hope you are well. Sorry this newsletter is a little late. We are in the process of moving full time to Maui as is Dr Noah and family, plus turning over the WA clinic to a new doc, looking for office space on Maui etc., etc. Things have been kind of crazy. We hope to soon announce a seminar in the spring somewhere on the west coast. We are always available for one on one personal seminars here on Maui or possible on Oahu where we work on occasion. Contact us for availability (great excuse to have a Hawaii vacation). The easiest way to learn our protocol is to order our vimeo (can make a physical hard copy DVD if necessary). To read more or order go to DVD-Vimeo Seminar
Case Histories
I wanted to share a few case histories this newsletter:
1) From Dr. Gregory Hoeper- Allison Park, PA
First appointment: 36 y/o female presented with a history of breast cancer, and was looking for overall prevention. However, she was currently suffering from symptoms post-treatment. This also included a diagnosis of lymes disease, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, random episodes of neuropathy in hands, feet, and face, arthritic pain in ankles, hands, and feet, and chronic fatigue syndrome. The following vials from the Lebowitz protocol kit (AK test kits 970-201-7406) were positive:
Borrelia, Fungus 2, Fungus 3, SIBO, Albumin, Theophylline, Onion, Oranges, Rice, Glyphosate, Aluminum, and Platinum.
I recommended the appropriate dietary restrictions, including the anti-fungal diet, Houttunyia Supreme at 6 scoops per day, Melia Supreme at 3 per day, and Rosemary Supreme at 5 per day (Supreme Nutrition 800-922-1744).
She was scheduled for 3 weeks later.
Second appointment: patient came back in and said her headaches were completely gone. She was experiencing no more joint pain. Her mood had improved, her digestion has improved (wasn’t an initial complaint, but noticed it was much better). Her neuropathy episodes had not returned. Her premenstrual dysphoric disorder symptoms disappeared. She stated there was 100% resolution of all of her symptoms, and was very thankful. Her only negative experience was the first 5 days where she suffered from increased headache severity as mood/energy swings she attributed to discontinuing coffee.
Upon retesting I adjusted the dose of Rosemary, and recommended Houttuynia at 6 scoops per day, Melia at 3 per day, and Rosemary at 6 per day.
2) From Dr Gabe Ariciu- Fayetteville, AR
27 yo Female, c/c of horrible stabbing pains in shins starting in Nov. 2018. Progressively got worse with shooting nerve pain in legs, arms, and hands. Awful leg cramps. She went to see a ND who diagnosed her with Lyme and bartonella using a biofeedback device. Gave her a slew of different supplements, which helped some. Her GP said she has fibromyalgia. Neurologist suspected MS.
First visit, the following tested from the Lebowitz Protocol Kit (970-201-7406):
Microbes: Biofilm, Borrelia, Chlamydia, Fungus 1, Mycoplasma, Mycotoxins, Parasite 2 int, Parasite 3, Protozoa, Rickettsia, SIBO, and Virus 3.
Foods: Gliadin and Zein
Coag: Thrombin
Environmental: Histamine and Personal Care
Metals: Aluminum, Arsenic, Boron, Cadmium, Gold, Mercury, Platinum, Silicon, Sulfur, Tin, and Zinc.
Hormones: Estrone
Supplements needed: Golden Thread, Lu Rong, Takesumi, Vital Guard (all Supreme Nutrition Products 800-922-1744)
F/U 2 weeks later. She reports she has more clarity, less fatigue, sleep has been amazing, but still slight nerve pain in legs, chest, and arms.
Findings were as follows from the Protocol Kit
Microbes: Babesia, Bartonella, Biofilm, Borrelia, Fungus 1, Parasite 1, Parasite 2 ext.
Foods: Garlic, Gliadin, Lectin, Paraxanthine.
Coag: Thrombin
Metals: Chromium, Copper
Herbs (Supreme Nutrition Products): BFB 2, Hemo Guard, Houttunyia. Continue Takesumi and Vital Guard. Discontinue Golden Thread and Lu Rong.
Went to Central America for a mission trip and Europe for vacation. Which threw some things off. Between the trips, I was able to see her shortly. She tested for bacteria 3, fungus 3, mycotoxins, parasite 3, casein, gliadin, and theobromine. I took her off everything and put her on Astragalus. And it would be over a month before I would see her again due to the vacation. But the pain in her arms and legs had all subsided.
While in Europe she started having terrible back pain. She admitted to not completely cutting out dairy. Once it was removed, the pain subsided and she started feeling much better. She continues to do well though must stay off dairy indefinitely.
Some thoughts on vial testing, etc: For years we have wondered if we should sell protocol kits to whom haven’t been to a seminar or watched a DVD/Vimeo of our class. The reason is that in and of itself vial testing can yield a high % of false negative readings if you do not use the right provocation methods. False negatives can reach 80%. Also how to interpret the findings of positive vials is very important. Legally they are not diagnostic, so we have to understand what a positive test means. We are using the term neurologic intolerance when referring to a positive vial test as we feel that is an accurate reflection. At the moment protocol kits will still be available to everyone.
I am forever grateful to Jane Thurnell-Read for creating these vials and for her integrity. Thousands of my patients have had amazing results that without these I doubt they would have achieved.
I am also grateful for the advice on technique, case histories, friendship, etc so many of you have shared over the years. This Newsletter I believe is completing its 30th year which is hard to imagine. I also thank Gale Weisenbarger for founding Supreme Nutrition and his willingness to make it such a pure high quality line despite the higher costs involved. Also of course my family for all they have done and continue to do.
We wish you all wonderful holidays and a happy new year!!! Dr Michael Lebowitz

For more info or to schedule call us at 970-623-9565. Noah Lebowitz DC is also available to teach the class (and sometimes you get us both).
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. In our protocol we typically use the protocol kit, biofilm kit and food kit A. Other kits as needed.
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- 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
