Warren M. Levin MD, Alternative Medicine, Lyme
We Treat the Whole Patient
Our services and treatments are a blending of conventional and alternative philosophies for health. Dr. Levin incorporates a vast array of scientific knowledge gathered from over 50 years of practice and from innumerable resources. The office uses the most reliable laboratories and the highest grade therapies in order to provide the most effective treatments available. This practice is focused on patients with chronic illnesses – “The Stepchild of American Medicine.”
Dr. Levin is committed to providing his patients innovative medical services and therapies that may not be readily available elsewhere and to providing each patient with information about his/her health and available treatments in order for each patient to make an informed choice.
Alternative medicine has been around for centuries and recognizes that the patient presents at the physician’s office as the sum total of all the patient has ever been, thought experienced, desired, consumed, or any activity she/he has ever engaged in. Dr. Levin realizes this, as well, so, instead of a “pill for your ill” (or symptom), Dr. Levin strives to bring your whole being into focus. The only way to accomplish this is for a doctor to spend more time with each new patient than insurance companies are willing to pay for. This accounts for the lengthy initial office visits, to allow a thorough review of previous records and an in depth current history with review of questionnaires; a long second consultation to review new laboratory tests and make a working diagnosis, followed by a discussion of the various options for treatment.
The natural approach to healing has a long history. Before there were pills, there were herbs. Dr. Levin recognizes the incredible advances in medical science, but insists on non-evasive and more body-friendly approaches whenever possible.
We had been to other doctors to try to explain that we believed in a natural method to recover from Autism. They did not understand what we wanted and we had to explain it to them. You did the proper testing to find out exactly what individual needs Robbie had and explained in great detail how and why these things needed to be done. – T&C W, Chantilly, VA
Healing is not just the alleviation of symptoms, but getting at the underlying causes for the symptoms. You may share symptoms with another person, but this does not mean you have the same underlying conditions causing the same symptoms. And since you are an individual, your therapy must be carefully planned to meet your underlying conditions and symptoms.
Advanced Longevity Therapy
Dr. Levin emphasizes the quality of life in the elderly. This therapy takes into account your entire health picture--genetic, infection, chemical, physical, nutritional, and behavioral factors. This means Dr. Levin emphasizes prevention of disease, detoxification, and lifestyle changes to optimize and extend quality years of life. This may include hormone replacement, supplement therapy, etc.

Chelation (key-la-shun)
Chelation therapy utilizes several different substances to help the body eliminate unwanted (usually toxic) minerals, including Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Arsenic, and Aluminum. Note, in some cases, useful minerals are lost too, so careful pre-testing and post treatment follow up is required. One of the first substances was the administration of a man-made amino acid called EDTA into the veins -- EDTA is an abbreviation for ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid. Properly used, EDTA is the BEST form of Preventative Medicine for degenerative cardiovascular diseases, because it also removes Calcium, and essential mineral that tends to accumulate with age and contributes then to arteriosclerotic changes in the heart, brain, and peripheral circulation. Dr. Levin gave his first Chelation treatment in 1968 to a woman who was dying from congestive heart failure (from rheumatic heart disease and hypertension), with insulin dependent diabetes, gout and kidney failure. She “came back” and lived at a whole new level of energy for over 15 months. That began his career as one of the leaders of this “controversial” therapy that has helped thousands of patients to “Bypass the Bypass Surgery.”

Intramuscular and Intravenous Therapy
This type of therapy offers a direct route to the cells in your body, bypassing the intestinal absorption that takes place with pills, capsules, or other oral medications. All orally ingested substances are filtered through the liver before reaching body tissues and organs. A great deal of the dosage is lost by that “first pass” while injected products are circulated throughout the entire body after injection, as a much higher concentration in the blood than is possible after oral use of the same product. It is done in the office and monitored by well trained staff. Dr. Levin’s office caters to those who are needle-shy.

Natural Hormone Therapy
With more than 40 years of experience supporting Hormone Replacement Therapy coupled with his recent research in the use of Human Growth Hormone and the new Genomics™ testing, Dr. Levin keeps his practice on the cutting edge of Advanced Longevity Medicine. He has been using Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) since the mid-1990s. He utilizes thyroid and adrenal balancing as well.
This type of therapy addresses the adrenals and thyroid conditions, as well as menopause and andropause, representing the loss of youthful levels of Estrogen and Progesterones (female) and Testosterones (male).
The therapy includes bio-identical hormones (identical to those that healthy human organs make), and plant-based therapies (which have been around for centuries) to treat and reverse bone loss, osteoporosis, menopausal symptoms, fatigue, reduction of risk to breast cancer, etc.
Dr. Levin was among the first to sound the alarm on artificial estrogen in HRT (Hormone Replacment Therapy) a response to The Washington Post
You showed interest in me as a person, a very sick person, and understood what I was going through. – TG, Mesa, AZ
Neurotransmitter Precursors for Migraines, Depression, Weight Loss
Using neurotransmitter precursors for depression, migraines and obesity Why do most drugs for depression work well at first and then fail? The answer is in the name of these drugs. Serotonin "uptake inhibitors" inhibit your body from re-absorbing important neurotransmitters each time your nerves use them to send messages. So your reservoir of these neurotransmitters gets delpeted. You can't take neurotransmitters orally or by injection, because they don't cross the blood brain barrier. An alternative therapy prescribes the building blocks or "precursor" molecules, so that the body will manufacture neurotransmitters naturally and refill the reservoirs. An interview of Dr. Levin in Public Health Alert by Tina Garcia. (pdf)
Nutrition and Supplements
Only the highest quality supplements are recommended in this practice. Often, supplements make it unnecessary for dangerous pharmaceuticals. This therapy is safe when directions are carefully followed. Did you know that there were over 100,000 deaths [http://www.releasingfat.com/newsletter/upload/45.pdf] in one year from properly administered drugs given to patients in hospitals by qualified personnel, for the appropriate indications?
Despite the constant warnings from Medicine’s “Ivory Towers” and various governmental sources of the dangers of nutritional supplements, there was not a single death due to vitamins or minerals reported from the nation’s network of Poison Control Centers in 2009!

Vitamin Therapy
Vitamin C IV therapy and other high grade vitamins are available in this practice. Vitamin C IV therapy has shown to be beneficial to those suffering from chronic fatigue and other conditions. This is the best form of administering Vitamin C if you have an underlying condition that may prevent absorption (i.e. diarrhea). The IV therapy allows for the much needed vitamin to gain immediate access to your body so that it can help you to heal.

Weight Control
Obesity can be caused by many things, not just overeating. Some other causes may be slow metabolism, eating the wrong kinds of food, insulin resistance, inflammation, Leptin resistance, hormone imbalances, stress, and more. In order to lose weight, the underlying conditions must be detected and corrected. One of the most overlooked factors for the ultimate success of any weight loss program is the removal of the toxins that are released from their storage in body fat when fat is consumed during weight loss. There are many indications that some patients put on fat to keep toxins from getting into essential body organs. Dr. Levin offers nutritional supplementation therapies for weight control, including the all natural weight loss protocols utilizing HCG – a pituitary hormone protocol, based on the work of Dr. A.T.W. Simeons, as modified by Dr. Peter Lindner and Dr. Levin over a period of many years. Dr. Levin’s contribution was the method detection and modification of the protocol because of Hypoglycemia. As a former VP of The American Society of Bariatric Physicians, Dr. Levin has used this therapy safely and effectively for over 30 years with dramatic results. This program includes weekly visits with a staff member and a Nutrient IV. Dr. Levin also taught Dr. Robert Atkins the importance of Adrenal support for Hypoglycemia during the Atkins Diet, which had been specifically negated in his first book, and subsequently added to his protocol.

How the HGC diet rids the body of harmful stored fat and works with the hypothalamus to metabolism elevated after a decrease in calorie level [ED: This seems to be an older version of the doc above which contains yellow comments]
"The first time I did the HCG program was over 25 years ago,. I decided that after many years and struggling to get almost 20 lbs off I would try it again. I found Dr. Levin's name on the internet and was impressed with his credentials and background. This was definitely more than just a quick in and out weight loss clinic, where your needs and total health picture are considered. As I had some issues, the program was personalized to my particular needs over and above the HCG program itself.
The program has been fabulous. It is as good as I remember. I lost all the weight I desired in less than the minimum 28 day cycle. As is discussed in the program, I lost the weight where I needed to lose it. I was never hungry and felt energized and great throughout the program. The support of the staff and availability was the best. The staff was there for me whenever I needed them with questions and concerns. My weight was checked weekly in house, and I had to bring my personal diary to have it reviewed. It is one of the best programs I know of, and as long as you follow the rules, it is a no fail program. I cannot recommend the program or the staff of Dr. Levin enough. They are outstanding. " -- FT
"Dear Dr Levin and your wonderful staff:
After 2 months on the HCG diet, I am happy to report that I have lost 60 lbs, and I feel great! In addition, I exercise every day with surprising energy, I no longer need to take two medications that I had been on forever
I had lost both my mother and grandmother to cancer and was determined not to go that path myself. Well, with your help, I follow the good nutrition program, and I’ve turned my life around. I was a skeptical scientist, but now I’m so grateful that you showed me this amazing new way of living." - Mary Paoletti 10/27/2011
Thank you all. I can only say that Dr. Levin was literally heaven-sent. I had worn out my knees praying that someone would provide an answer for my child. – Carolyn Long
