Dear Colleagues;
I hope you all our well and thriving. I am writing from Narita Airport about to end a 15 day trip to Japan. One of my favorite things about Japan is how many therapeutic foods are part of the diet: konjac yam, agar, other seaweeds, many mushroom varieties including maitake, shitake, etc, chrysanthemum leaves and flowers, natto, wasabi, various animal organs, green tea, etc.
New Products:
1 Grass Fed Sheep Thymus- Supreme Nutrition Products (800-922-1744, shop.supremenutritionproducts.com) has decided to add several glandulars to its product line. Our first is freeze dried, 100% grass fed, ovine (sheep) thymus from young sheep raised in New Zealand. As with all of our products, there are no fillers, binders, flow agents or any other ingredients other than the capsule.
Our thymus glandular product contains various peptides, hormones, etc. (i.e. - thymosin, thymopoietin, and serum thymic factor). These components, like herbal adaptogens, help modulate, normalize, and optimize immune function. We decided with our glandulars to use ovine as opposed to bovine (cow) sources. Ovine is one of the most hypoallergenic foods as well as one of the cleanest domesticated animals. Also ovine is generally harvested at a younger age vs bovine.
Supreme Nutrition Products has an amazing array of herbs with antimicrobial properties that also have immune modulating properties. We look at this glandular as being a perfect complement to these herbs, further helping in acute and subacute microbial issues both therapeutically and preventatively. Also it would be great to travel with to help stay well during those times.
Thymus tissue has been used both in immune deficiency states as well as having the potential to help those with overactive or autoimmune conditions.
Thymus tissue historically has been used in the treatment of bronchitis, allergies (including hay fever) and sensitivities, recurrent infections, asthma, and also hepatitis B & C (1,2,3).
The concept of glandular therapy is that oral ingestion of certain animal-gland material will strengthen the corresponding gland in humans (“like treats like” as it will have all the enzymes, hormones and co-factors the gland needs for proper functioning). As with most organ glandulars, other than brain and intestines, it can contain a significant amount of various vitamins and minerals, especially B vitamins.
One double blinded placebo-controlled study conducted on children with frequent respiratory infections found that treatment with thymus extract reduced the rate of infection (4).
Thymus glandulars were also shown be useful for food allergies in one study (5) as well as various dermatological conditions including eczema (6,7,8) and autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis (9). It has been used in the treatment of childhood asthma.
Thymus extracts have been shown to modulate the production, maturation and activation of T lymphocytes (10) and to stimulate conversion of immature thymocytes (T6 cells) to non-dedicated T cells (T3 cells) in human bone marrow. In the more mature T cells, thymic extracts have been shown to effectively increase the number and function of T helper/inducer lymphocytes (T4 cells) and of suppressor cells (T8 cells) (10).
Thymus extracts have also been shown to reduce post-surgical infections, decrease the damage of chemotherapy and radiation, and have been used as adjuncts to mainstream therapy for treatment of neoplasms. Clinical studies have shown it useful for herpes simplex and herpes zoster, psoriasis, etc. (10).
Dosage: 2-3 capsules once per day for general wellbeing. Can increase to 2-3 times per day as needed.*
Contraindications: No side effects or contraindications for thymus gland have been reported.

2. Grass Fed Sheep Testicle: Our ovine (sheep) testicle is from 100% grass-fed, freeze dried organs harvested from young sheep in New Zealand. Once used by ancient Olympians and Gladiators, ovine testicle can possibly be a nutritional supplement to support muscle mass growth and strength when used in combination with exercise.
Many of the products available on the market are bovine and cut with liver since it is much less expensive to manufacture this way. Even though bovine sources work well, ovine in our opinion is more hypoallergenic and a superior source. Also, many products on the market are from non-organic, non-grass-fed animals or from countries with less ideal growing conditions than New Zealand.
Freeze drying the ovine testicle keeps nutrient levels at a maximum and allows it to contain naturally produced peptides, hormone precursors, and enzymes that normally occur in the testicle. Many claim peptides in the glandular tissue contribute to specific signaling which facilitates the function of the testes including their manufacturing of testosterone as with the hypothesis of like cures like.
Bio-identical testosterone prescriptions are very popular in today’s society, but have many negatives including decreasing your own bodies production as well as potentially increasing cancer risk. As mentioned above, consuming whole testicle has been used safely for thousands and years and traditionally has been used for the same benefits.
Dosage: 1-3 capsules once per day.
Contraindications: No known contraindications

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.
http://michaellebowitzdc.com/html/seminar.html
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
