Is There a Link Between Allergies and Autoimmune Disorders?

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 ?l. Amy's level had dropped down to 3000 per ?l - very
dangerous. As a result, she didn't have enough platelets to prevent
bleeding, so she was loosing 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
?l.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!
