Dear Colleagues;
I hope you all are well. The ICAK is planning to have its annual meeting in July (contact icakusa.com for details). Noah and I are planning to do a four-hour class on microbes there. We also are hoping to teach in either LA or Phoenix by June depending on covid restrictions. Will let everyone know as soon as we hear. Also still teaching one on one classes here on Maui. Contact me if interested. We also posted a youtube on fatigue (more for laypeople, may be appropriate to share with patients) Click here: Fatigue youtube video
By next newsletter we will be mentioning a few new products but this newsletter I thought we would spotlight 2 docs that were kind enough to send in case histories utilizing our protocol.
Case Histories
Case History #1 Sam Riley DC Needham. MA
49 y.o. female presents to office with complaints of moderate-severe sleep disturbance - can’t fall asleep, moderate generalized pain throughout the body - similar to a fibromyalgia like presentation - worse in bilateral shoulders and hips, moderate digestive stress - moving bowels 3-4x/d (loose), mild left sided facial paralysis - similar to a Bell’s Palsy presentation. Upon entering the office for her first visit, patient carried in two shopping bags full of approximately 100 different supplements from various companies. When asked which supplements she was currently taking she replied, “all of them.” History of tick bite at age 8 and another tick bite back in 2011. In 2011 she was prescribed 100 mg. of Doxycycline, which caused her to “collapse.” History of inability to conceive children. Dental history of mercury fillings that were replaced with zirconium in February of 2020. Has seen countless practitioners from several different disciplines with no improvements - even traveling to Florida/Mexico to different health institutes, which told her she had “MTHFR gene mutation” and she is “unable to detox mold.” She was worse off than before she started and her health was continuing to decline.
First visit (11/3/2020) Lebowitz Protocol revealed: (+ vials from Lebowitz protocol kit 970-201-7406) protozoa, mycotoxins, babesia, fungus 2, SIBO, para 2 ext., virus 2, theophylline, homocysteine, testosterone.
Tested for Japanese Knotweed 8/d, Illicium 6/d, Ashwaghanda 5/d (all Supreme Nutrition Products 800-922-1744), MethylGuard Plus 6/d (Thorne).
Second visit (11/17/2020) patient reported improvements in digestive stress - less frequency and more formed stools, less pain throughout the body and increased strength - patient stocks shelves and has to lift heavy items daily. She reported the ability to lift 6-quart containers onto shelves that she was never able to do before. Patient notes improvements in energy as well.
Lebowitz Protocol revealed: para 2 ext., homocysteine, nickel, gadolinium, low progesterone. Tested for Takesumi Supreme powder 4 scoops/d, NET Allergy Spray 12 sprays 3x/d.
Third visit (12/1/2020) patient entered the office with a huge smile on her face and stated, “I feel the best I’ve ever felt...I feel like I’m 18 again.” Only complaint was mild swelling in the left eye. Lebowitz Protocol revealed: mycotoxins over the left eye only. Tested for Golden Thread Supreme 6/d, Dan Shen Supreme 6/d.
Each visit we started with Lebowitz Protocol and made Applied Kinesiology structural corrections and NET was performed. Following visit on 12/15/2020 Lebowitz Protocol revealed no positive vials. Patient now will not stop coming to me every 2 weeks no matter how I try to schedule or space out her care.
Side note: I cannot stress how incredible Albizia Supreme has been for multiple patients, especially in the last 6 months and during these extremely stressful times. Every patient who tests for Albizia and is dealing with different degrees of depression, sleep issues and mood in general have reported instant shifts with Albizia, within the first week of taking it. One patient recently experiencing severe depression and suicidal thoughts reported “Albizia saved my life” in just 2 weeks’ time.

He walked in with 6/10 and left with 0/10 pain, though he was on painkillers.
Didn't see him for over a month due to COVID exposure.
Second visit:
Having issues with insomnia, had gluten over the holidays. Did more structural work this visit with Small Intestine showing up due to gluten. Gave Albizia Supreme for insomnia.

Found out he has not been taking painkillers for 2 weeks now which was before his 2nd visit! He has no pain. Sleeping is better with Albizia, not perfect. Bloating is also less.

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
