Dear Colleagues;
Happy New Year. This is the 36th year of my newsletter (older than some of you that receive it). It started with a type written letter brought monthly to Home Depot to make copies and then my wife and I would fold them, stuff envelopes, address and stamp them and bring them to the post office. My first seminars were co-taught with my mentor and friend Dr Wally Schmitt in 1986 and then I went solo in 1989 as well as co-teaching with other illustrious docs.
Things have definitely changed over the years. In 1989 I had just brought to AK the concept of testing substances under magnetic fields and I was doing quality control, product development and introducing the chiropractic profession to Thorne Research. A lot has happened over these years. Our ability to test and treat has been tremendously enhanced. At the same time toxic and electromagnetic exposures have gone through the roof and chronic diseases are more common than ever before.
In 2025 Supreme will be coming out with grass fed, freeze dried lamb heart- great for athletes and those who work out often due to its carnitine content.
Also, Noah and I will be updating our seminar vimeo (date TBD) and our next seminar is Feb 23rd in SF.

CASE HISTORY
Dr Richard Spina- Phoenix
Recently I brought you a case history of a patient with Charcots foot that was not only able to avoid leg amputation but return to normal walking over a 6 week time period. What was so interesting was I had never heard of Charcots foot but correcting the things we routinely check for restored the patient. Typical treatment is high dose prednisone which tho can be life saving often has a myriad of serious side effects. The following is Dr Spina’s email:
The following 30 year old female presented with pemphigus vulgaris with which she had been diagnosed 3 years prior. The past 3 months have been the worst ever. She had bleeding ulcerations throughout her torso and limbs anteriorly, posteriorly, and laterally. Pemphiugus vulgaris can also cause internal ulcerations. She reacted to two of six petri dishes that she had brought in as per my instructions (her boyfriend's saliva, and her bedroom). She was told that her boyfriend should be treated for possible fungal involvement and that the house should also be treated for mold. We talked about ozonators as well. She also reacted to the following vials: Bacteria 3, Mycotoxins, personal products, Chemicals and Inhalants, Antithrombin III, Thrombin Plasminogen Activator, and foods and food toxins [Albumin, Lamb, Olive Oil, Paraxanthine]. She was instructed to avoid those foods and was put on an anti-fungal diet. She had her personal products with her because she had traveled to get to my office and we tested those and she was told to stop using the ones that she reacted to. She was placed on the following supplements in addition to the diet: Acerola tincture Supreme (1 dropperful daily), BodyGuard Supreme (1 capsule TID), Elderberry Tincture Supreme (1 dropperful TID), Ashwagandha Supreme (1 capsule TID), Methyl-Guard Plus from Thorne Research (1 capsule TID c/ food), CurcumaSorb from Pure Encapsulations (2 capsules TID BETWEEN meals), UltraMag Magnesium from Pure Encapsulations (1 capsule once or twice daily depending on bowel tolerance). She was supposed to come in 4 days later and then again 4 days after that because she had traveled from another country but she emailed me a day later and explained that the accommodations were much too uncomfortable for her and she needed to get back to her home. I told her to continue with the diet and the supplements as prescribed and to keep in contact. She emailed me a month later and asked if she could order more supplements because she had at least 80% improvement with the ulcerations and was not in nearly as much pain. She was urged to come back as soon as it was feasible for her to be retested and, in the meantime, continue with the diet and the supplements that she had been placed on.
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
