Dear Colleagues;
We hope you are well. Our June 13th seminar in LA is fast approaching. If you are interested in signing up go to: https://michaellebowitzdc.com/html/2021Seminars/index.html for more information. We also will be teaching the microbial portion of the seminar at the summer icak meeting. To register or find out more go to: https://na.eventscloud.com/website/24942/.
Other ways to learn our protocol include coming to Maui for a personal seminar (contact us for details) or buying our protocol Vimeo. See https://michaellebowitzdc.com/html/seminar.html for details. We do plan to teach on the mainland sometime this fall but no dates or places yet.
CASE HISTORY
M is a 38 year old woman who flew in to see me. On new patients who fly in we prefer to see them on 3 consecutive days before sending them home. That allows us to make sure they are tolerating our supplements and to find any additional findings that we missed the first day, as well as going over a plan of what they have to do afterwards. Ideally we recheck in a few weeks to a month or refer them to someone who does our protocols who is closer – which wasn’t possible in this case.
This particular patient suffers from R.A. and has since the 4th grade with an additional polymyalgia following a sickness in 1999. She has also been on methotrexate, prednisone and plaquinal since then. I typically prefer not to take people on corticosteroids as it makes it much harder to correct dysbiosis but decided to in this case. She also rated her energy as a 3 on a 10 scale which was a big concern for her. She couldn’t do the swimming or stand up paddle boarding which she enjoyed so much. She also had gained 25 pounds and her menstrual bleeding would last for 8 days per period.
On our initial exam the following vials tested positive (Lebowitz protocol kit 970-201-7406):
Virus 1 and 3, Borrelia, Babesia, Parasite 1 and 2 (Internal), bacteria 1 and 3, Rickettsia, Worms, Fungus 3, Gliadin, Dairy, Zein, Albumin, Caffeine, Solanines, Industrial/environmental 4, Copper.
Also from food kit A (LWP kit from Ergopathics) we found olive, lentil, walnut, apple, zucchini. She also weakened on her kitchen air and her office water.
We supplemented with the following Supreme Nutrition products (1-800-922-1744): Camu 1x3, Houttunyia 2x3, Mimosa 1x3, Melia 2x3, Tulsi 1x2 and from Thorne L-Tyrosine
Day 2 she had a small flareup. The only vial that showed was beef which we added to her avoidance. This is fairly common as with our desensitization etc we do not expect to find the same vials as day 1. It doesn’t mean they are resolved but indicates that what we are doing is enough for those issues. The supplements we had her on were still positive.
Day 3 she had a little diarrhea but was feeling a little better and we sent her home with instructions to use an essential oil diffuser with cedar oil in her kitchen and avoid the office water. Also to continue supplementation and dietary restrictions.
We received this email 4 days later:
Hi Dr. Lebowitz,
I am feeling absolutely incredible and energetic! I did have a slight headache at the end of work yesterday, but when I left work I had energy and I got home in time to go out on my Stand Up Paddle board. And after I did not feel too tired to cook, as that used to be the norm. I was up this morning at about 6:15 with no alarm clock and went back out on the bay and went swimming before work.
9 days later I received this email:
Hi Dr. Lebowitz,
Still feeling energetic and good! I feel like getting up in the morning and moving instead of rolling over and going back to sleep. I make it through the day at work so much more easily. I now wonder how I made it with so little energy!
I have started the second bottles of Melia and Houttuynia. I have a new plastic diffuser and a huge bottle of marine collagen (that also had tested well).
I am absolutely thrilled and my family and friends are very happy for me. Thank you.
About a week later she started to experience a drop in energy and when she returned about 5 weeks after the initial visit her energy had dropped about 50%. We did a very careful timetable and found the drop occurred after 2 things. 1) She had ran out of a few of the antimicrobials and 2) she had a cleaning at the dentist.
Findings were: SIBO, Virus 3, bacteria 3 and Chlamydia vials, onion, chicken, cilantro, sesame, salmon, citrus, plum, strawberry, asparagus. Some of the foods especially salmon, chicken and onions she had increased substantially after her first trip out. It is not unusual to not find the major foods of the first visit if she has been avoiding them. You won’t really know how they are until you test them after the patient reintroduces them.
Supplements needed were all Supreme Nutrition: Schisandra, Melia, Camu, Vidanga, Tulsi, Oral Supreme.
It appeared like the dental cleaning “let loose” some microbes under the gums (not unusual) and that with running out of Melia led to her losing ground. We have seen that type thing happen before, especially with what they call “deep cleanings”.
She flew home after the visit and the following night we received this email
Feeling pretty good already. My energy seemed to return last evening. Thanks again
Testimonial on some supreme products
1 From Dr O. I cannot believe how much Lectin protect has helped me with gut symptoms from foods I eat regardless of what type they are. The product controls gas, and other symptoms incredibly well. I haven't felt this good for 30 years and I have tried everything from cheap to very expensive to manage it. The lectin issue in foods seems to be the problem with many of us who suffer GI symptoms. I highly highly recommend this wonderful product.
2 From another doc: This is my favorite adrenal support product by far. When in chiropractic school I was very tired and run down from studying and stress. I took a high dose for 2 months and never felt better. I noticed a huge difference from day 1.
The best part was after taking for 2 months I stopped needing it. Tulsi supreme really had helped my adrenal glands heal and give me energy after I stopped. I've now used this on many patients with similar results and highly recommend it
From a patient: Wild greens are fantastic. I feel better since I've been taking plant sourced supplements. I'm 66 and many supplements, even high quality ones, don't seem to mesh with my body's needs. My holistic health care provider selected this product for me as well as camu based on applied kinesiology, very specific.

3. Test Kits for Dr. Lebowitz Protocol - 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, mycotoxin kit, and food kit A. Other kits as needed. The biofilm, mycotoxin and food kits are sold by Ergopathics in Canada (ask for the LWP version). AK test kits sells the Lebowitz Protocol Kit. Call Cynthia at AK Test Kits 970 201-7406 or see our website to: Purchase Protcol Kit
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
