Amy was diagnosed with thrombocytopenia - a severe loss in blood platelets. A normal count for our blood platelets ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 per μl. Amy's level had dropped down to 3000 per μl - very dangerous. As a result, she didn't have enough platelets to prevent bleeding, so she was losing blood both internally and externally.
Because such a condition is life treating, Amy had to be given blood platelet transfusions and other medicines to try to restore her platelet count.
There are at least a dozen known causes for Thrombocytopenia. Amy's doctors theorized that her thrombocytopenia was caused by a viral or bacterial infection, and thus gave her large doses of antibiotics. After four days without improvement though, Amy's anemia was turning her complexion chalk white and her family asked for an alternative opinion.
AK (Applied Kinesiology) muscle testing did not support the theory that Amy's problem was virally or bacterially induced. It appeared more accurate that Amy's immune system was causing her thrombocytopenia by systematically destroying her blood platelets.
Autoimmune disorders have long been a puzzle to science. Although many theories have been proposed to explain autoimmune disorders, in the end most are regarded as idiopathic - meaning we don't have any concrete explanation for them.
Thrombocytopenia is one of more than 100 autoimmune disorders that can show up whenever our immune system becomes too sluggish or stops working altogether. In worse case scenarios, like Amy's, our immune system can attack us directly - as though we are no longer the host in our own body, and have instead become its enemy.
ACT, short for Applied Consciousness Therapy, offers an easy to understand yet difficult-to-research explanation as to why our autoimmune disorders exist. It begins by reminding us that "who we are" as an energetic being has a relationship with all parts of our body, including one with our immune system. It would be nice if we were compatible in each of our relationships. Unfortunately we are not. In some of them we are only neutral. In others still, we are totally and utterly incompatible.
ACT defines allergies as any adverse response we have to any relationship we are not 100% energetically compatible with. Such would be the case if we were not fully compatible in our relationship with our immune system, and as a result it was doing something very wicked in our body - like eating up our blood platelets!
OK, you might ask - BUT WHY would this so-called "core essence" of ours decide to create an incompatible relationship with one or more of our body systems?
And the most obvious answer is because HOW OUR PHYSIOLOGY OPERATES HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH HOW WE FEEL ABOUT OURSELVES. Not all of us completely love our selves. Some of us can't stand our self. And not all of us feel that we are good people either. Some of us feel that we are terrible human beings, that we have amassed an ungodly amount of bad karma, and that we deserve to be punished!
Imagine that! And yet who is it that is supposed to be doing all this punishing? Ya think there's some committee that goes door to door and ekes out our punishments? Heck no! Our punishments come from within. It is how we execute our negative self-judgments.
The idea that negative self-judgment accounts for our disorders is not new. The difficulty is that we don't have any scientific meters that can measure the degree to which we are psychically participating in any form of self-punishment. Until such meters are developed all we have are tools like AK and ACT and a hope that the AK technicians are skilled enough to help us accurately measure our emotions and self-perceptions.
Luckily though, there are no known adverse reactions in AK or in ACT, only good outcomes. Case in point - after only one treatment using the ACT protocol Amy's blood platelet level raised to 87,000. After a second ACT treatment it raised to 125,000. After a third treatment her blood platelet level normalized at 157,000 per μl.
And after three years, Amy's platelet count remains quite healthy and stable.
Is this proof positive of the efficacy of ACT? Heavens no. ACT needs many more trials before we will truly see a cause and effect relationship between its protocol and results.
In the meantime, Amy doesn't care if her recovery was a coincidence. She doesn't care if it was placebo or shamanism --- OR --- if she stumbled onto one helluva great new tool in the world of allergies. All she knows is her thrombocytopenia is gone, she's alive, and she's lovin' life again!
