idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP)

[Guest guest]

Dear Andrea,

 

Namaste.

 

Medical Background:

 

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura is a bleeding disorder

characterized by too few platelets in the blood. This is because

platelets are being destroyed by the immune system. Idiopathic means

the exact cause of the disease is unknown.

 

The disease occurs when immune system cells, called lymphocytes,

produce antibodies against platelets. Platelets are necessary for

normal blood clotting. They clump together to plug small holes in

damaged vessels.

 

The presence of antibodies on platelets leads to their destruction in

the spleen. A characteristic skin rash, easy bruising, abnormal

menstrual bleeding, or sudden and severe loss of blood from the

gastrointestinal tract may occur.

 

Usually, no other abnormal findings are present. In children, the

disease is sometimes preceded by a viral infection and usually runs

its course without treatment. In adults, it is more often a chronic

(long-term) disease and can follow a viral infection, certain drugs,

pregnancy, or other immune disorders.

 

ITP affects women more frequently than men, and is more common in

children than adults. There is no sex difference in children.

 

Symptoms :

-Bruising

-Nosebleed or oral bleeding

-Bleeding into the skin - also called pinpoint red spots and

petechial rash

-Abnormally heavy menstruation

 

In children, the disease often runs its course without treatment.

 

In adults, the initial treatment is usually with a drug called

prednisone. A splenectomy (removal of the spleen) is sometimes

advised. The spleen is the major site of platelet destruction, but

removal of the spleen will only bring up the platelet count in 50% of

people.

 

People with ITP should avoid taking aspirin, ibuprofen, and warfarin

because these drugs interfere with platelet function and blood

clotting, and bleeding may occur.

 

The chance of remission (a symptom-free period) is good with

prednisone or a splenectomy. Rarely, ITP may become a chronic ailment

in adults and reappear, even after remission.

 

Complications: Severe bleeding, bleeding into the brain or loss of

blood into the digestive tract

 

The causes and risk factors are unknown (except in children when it

may be related to a viral infection). Therefore, prevention is

unknown.

 

 

Pranic Healing:

 

Source - Advanced Pranic Healing by Master Choa Kok Sui.

 

1. Invoke and scan before, during and after

treatment.

 

2. Instruct the patient how to do the abdominal

pranic breathing (6-3-6-3) properly. Have the patient

do this for 12 cycles before start of treatment.

Continue during treatment.

 

3. General sweeping several times with LWG.

 

4. Localized thorough sweeping on the front, sides

and the back of the lungs. Energize through the back

of the lungs with LWG, LWO and LWR. Point your

fingers away from the patient's head area when

energizing with orange.

 

5. Localized thorough sweeping on the basic chakra

alternately with LWG and LWO. Energize with LWR.

 

6. Localized thorough sweeping on the arms and the

legs with emphasis on their minor chakras alternately with LWG and

LWO. Energize the minor chakras with LWR. Visualize the pranic energy

going into the bone marrow.

 

7. Localized thorough sweeping on the front and back

heart chakra. Energize through the back heart chakra

with LWG then with more of ordinary LWV. Visualize

the heart chakra becoming brighter and bigger.

Hearts. This healing meditation facilitates the

proper assimilation of projected healing energy,

cleanses and energizes to a certain degree, promotes

inner peace, good health and well being.

 

2. Regular physical exercise.

idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura

 

Dear Marilette,

 

Namaste.

 

Can you find a protocol for idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura?

This is for an 18-year-old girl. Her naturopath has said that a

severe case of strep throat about 4 years ago is what set this whole

thing in motion. She has very low platelet count and bruises easily.

 

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

 

Sincerely

Andrea
