Healing Stories

THE PARVO VIRUS
An IM School graduate recalls the long-distance healing with Levent Bolukbasi that probably saved her life

It was in my fourth year as a student with the IM School when this happened. I was working full time as a teacher with a school district, driving four hours each way from my home to New York City to attend my fourth year classes with Levent and doing my required healings with a second year student who lived in the city. I was doing healings and preparing a presentation to help out with a separate class that Levent was experimenting with at the time and had just come off the last of five weekends assisting with a course given at a retreat center near me. So I was feeling pretty tired. But Monday morning I went in to work and started with the kindergarten classes. In the middle of the second class I knew I was in trouble and even though I'd never passed out before I could feel it coming. Not wanting to scare the little ones, I was able to get my aide to take over the class and I went out in the hall and slid down the wall.

I felt silly but my husband came and took me to my doctor. She wanted to put me in the hospital because my heart was beating very erratically. I had never been in a hospital before and refused to go. They took blood and sent me home wired with a heart monitor. That night the fever and headache started and the next morning I was bright red all over and very weak and sick. My husband took me in to see the doctor and they took one look at me and ran to see what the blood work showed. They called my husband out to talk and when they came back in he told me I had to go to the hospital.

They put me in isolation in a room where no one could enter without wearing a gown, gloves and a mask over their mouth. This was for my safety, they explained, because my blood count was dangerously low, both the red count and the white count.

They called in a heart specialist and a doctor who was an expert on contagious diseases from Cornell University. They hooked me up to an IV to keep me from dehydrating but were afraid to give me anything else because they didn't know what was wrong. They informed me that my white blood cell count that first day was 1.5 and it should be between 4 and 10. The next morning it had dropped to 1.4. They had me wired to monitor my heart, which was not beating well. Next day my count dropped to 1.3 and all my joints were swollen to twice their normal size. I hurt all over. The next day it was 1.3 and they called in a blood specialist to do a bone marrow biopsy. That was excruciatingly painful. But it told them I didn't have anything like leukemia, something they had been worried about. The next day the white cell count was at 1.2. They were getting ready to do a blood transfusion.

Then my very dear friend and fellow classmate from the IM School donned mask and gown and came in to see me. She called Levent at his home that night and explained the situation. At around 9 pm Levent called and got through to me in my hospital room. At that time I was barely conscious but was able to answer the phone. I remember feeling very moved with emotion to think that he would call. He asked me to explain what was going on, which I did. The first thing I noticed was my breathing changed and became deeper and steadier. Levent reminded me that I was a healer. With just those words I felt myself wake up and become more alert. Then he told me he was going to lead me in a meditation where I would go into the marrow in the long bones of my body, where the blood is formed. I was to talk to the b cells and the t cells in my body and remind them that they knew what to do and urge them to remember their function, which had been passed down to them through the ages! I felt very confident that I could do this because Levent had led the whole class in a similar meditation in our last session at the school. I started to go in and immediately felt a tingling sensation from my hips through both legs to my feet. Somewhat like an electrical current was running through them. It felt like I was getting a power boost. Before I could say anything Levent said, " Oh and by the way let me know if you notice anything." So I told him and he said, "Good, since we are working with the long bones in the legs." The night nurse came hurrying into the room at this point and I waved her away. She checked the heart monitor and left. Levent talked to me some more and then reminded me to keep doing the meditation all night before he hung up. After a while I became aware of a total black field in front of my eyes. It grabbed my attention because it was so black. Then, floating in from the side came a tubular shape like an elongated pill capsule that wiggled. It was hot pink and electric blue in color and radiating a sharp jagged energy. I watched it for a while and then from the other side came a pale violet whitish shape that looked like a starburst with jagged points. When it floated close enough so the points just touched the tube shape, all the energy and color drained out of the tubular shape. It just wilted and became gray. Then the vision was gone.

The next morning they came in and took blood as usual but I knew already that the count was going up. The swelling in my joints was gone. And sure enough, the doctors came in all excited to see my count had gone up to 1.3. Then the contagious disease doctor came in with an Internet printout of what he thought was the virus I was battling. The tubular shape was exactly what I had seen the night before but without the vivid color, since the print out was in black and white.

That night the nurse came in and wanted to know who was on the phone the night before with me. She explained that she had come when I was on the phone because she thought there must be something wrong with my heart monitor. After realizing it was working just fine, she gathered every nurse on the floor around my monitor at the nurse's station, watching as my heart kept beating stronger and steadier. Levent and I didn't know we had an awed audience attending the healing. I tried to find a picture of a white blood cell that matched what I had seen in the meditation but alas, after much research and many pictures of white blood cells, I could not find a match. A few weeks later I had to do a follow-up visit to my blood doctor and I asked him what a white blood cell looks like. He promptly drew on a scrap of paper the tubular form of the Parvo virus and then said this particular white cell that fights this virus looks like this… And drew the starburst shape I had been searching for. I was so happy I told him about my vision and he told me it was all a bunch of hooey and not science. I laughed and he let me keep the sketch, which I still have. Another curious thing, the doctors could never find any antibodies in my system that a body would have to make to fight the Parvo virus. So they have no scientific proof that I actually had the virus they thought I was fighting. My doctor admits to being very puzzled by this.
