Lebowitz Protocol Chicago Seminar Sunday, October 22 9am-5pm Hyatt Regency O’Hare 9300 Bryn Mawr Avenue, Rosemont, Illinois, United States, 60018
Dr Michael Lebowitz Dr Noah Lebowitz
This class teaches an effective, easy, and fast way to "diagnose" and treat dysbiosis (fungal, bacterial, parasitic, viral, Lyme), food reactions, lectin sensitivities, metal and chemical toxicity/sensitivity, coagulation issues, organ dysfunction, EMF issues, and much more. It is well suited to both the newcomer to the Lebowitz protocol as well as physicians who have been following Dr. Lebowitz's work for many years.
A basic ability to perform manual muscle testing is necessary to utilize these techniques. Correcting the above-mentioned issues can help alleviate many symptoms, including various gastrointestinal issues, dermatological and respiratory problems, fatigue, brain fog, headaches, inflammatory conditions, fibromyalgia, auto-immune issues, neurological symptoms, chronic musculoskeletal conditions, etc.
New techniques as well as new products will be discussed. The class comes with a full, easy to follow, set of notes as well as a Vimeo of a similar class and Drs. Lebowitz are always easily accessible to answer questions you may have after you have started implementing the material. We will be sending the Vimeo a few weeks before the class. We encourage you to watch it so we can concentrate more on work-shopping as a little less on academics so we can make sure you have a good understanding of the material.
This technique has been taught to literally 1000’s of physicians and is used worldwide with great success.
Dr. Michael Lebowitz (developer of the protocol) is a prolific writer, having authored 4 books, over 60 articles, and a free monthly newsletter for over 20 years (you can subscribe and read back issues here). He attracts patients from around the globe and treats many professional athletes (MLB, NHL, NFL, cyclists, runners, boxers, ballet, etc.), entertainers, as well as many physicians, and everyone else. When treating and correcting dysbiosis (fungus, parasites, bacteria, virus, etc.), food sensitivities, toxic metals and chemicals, nutrient deficiencies, hormone imbalances, structural imbalances, and more, he has found that a majority of chronic and acute symptoms often resolve and the patient is restored to a better state of health. He practices on Maui.
Dr. Noah Lebowitz has been teaching with his father and on his own the last 6 years. He has a practice on Maui, Hawaii and specializes in patients with chronic illness. He has also treated many professional athletes including NHL, MLB, PGA, etc. players. He routinely has patients flying in from out of state, and has made house calls across the USA and to other countries.

ADAPTIVE IMMUNE FUNCTION:
TH1, TH2, Cytokines & Herbal Considerations
This partial list of herbal considerations is provided by Supreme Nutrition Products and compiled by Dr. Michael Lebowitz following a literature review circa June/July 2023. During that review, references, from which data was extracted, were not recorded.
As you will notice below, some, if not many of the substances mentioned act as adaptogens (i.e., they can raise or lower a specific response as appropriate for the individual).
For example: Golden Thread can increase or decrease TH1 response as it acts as an adaptogen (i.e., in accordance with patient’s need).

1 Lebowitz Protocol June 2022 Seminar on Vimeo - Professionally filmed in 4K in the office
This class teaches an effective, easy, and fast way to "diagnose" and treat dysbiosis (fungal, bacterial, parasitic, viral, Lyme), food reactions, lectin sensitivities, metal and chemical toxicity/sensitivity, coagulation issues, organ dysfunction, EMF issues, and much more. It is well suited to both the newcomer to the Lebowitz protocol as well as physicians who have been following Dr. Lebowitz's work for many years.

A basic ability to perform manual muscle testing is necessary to utilize these techniques. Correcting the above mentioned issues can help alleviate many symptoms, including various gastro-intestinal issues, dermatological and respiratory problems, fatigue, brain fog, headaches, inflammatory conditions, fibromyalgia, auto-immune issues, neurological symptoms, chronic musculoskeletal conditions, etc.
New techniques to help eliminate false negatives, which are very common in muscle testing, are discussed and demonstrated as well as false positives, which often occur frequently in supplement testing. The class comes with a full, easy to follow, set of notes and Drs. Lebowitz is always easily accessible to answer questions you may have after you have started implementing the material.
This is the most in-depth, as well as the highest quality, seminar we have ever recorded.
In addition to the seminar itself we have a 15 minute recording of Dr. Michael Lebowitz taking a new patient history. We also have a 25 minute video on what to expect on a follow-up visit and how to approach continued care.
2. Personal Seminars with Dr. Lebowitz: Dr. Lebowitz teaches seminars to one or two doctors at a time at his office on Maui. This is probably the best way to learn our protocols with a personalized, hands on experience. To schedule one of these classes you need to either have watched the above vimeo or already taken a class with Dr. Lebowitz over the past 5 years. Cost depends on who long the session lasts (usually 3 to 5 hours depending on your needs). Fee is $150 per hour of class. 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. Lebowitz protocol kit- 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. With the majority of our patients, this is the only kit we use.
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, biofilms, etc. both preventatively and treatment wise as well as the reasons behind some of the other health laws of the Torah. $1.99 on kindle. It is a short easy to understand book and fascinating for the student of health and the Bible God's Preventative Medicine
