N.S.

I haven't posted here in a loooooong time. I had full-on Lyme (didn't discover it until it was systemic, and was completely worthless for about 5 months) and tried acupuncture, high-dose Doxy for 2 months, holistic diets, and other things. Nothing made any meaningful difference.

The one thing that actually got me well -- and I've been symptom free for about 2 years now -- was the Rife machine. At the time, I didn't believe it, because the claims made on the Net were pretty ridiculous. But I built one based on Jim Bare's plans (bought the parts off of Ebay and various other sources) and used it daily for about 2 hours/day. I had a major herx after the 2nd day that lasted for about a week, and I slept about 20 hours a day for the first 10 days or so, but my energy returned, the weird feelings in my legs left, and pretty much all the other symptoms disappeared over a course of about 2 months of use.

I don't know if it will work for you, I can only tell you that my own experience was that the Rife machine was a lifesaver for me.

Kay’s Story, reproduced with her permission:

Since 1988, I’ve had Lyme disease. Like so many others, it took a long time to be properly diagnosed. I’d been told I had MS, but I never believed that. When we found out it was Lyme disease, we were hopeful that I could rid my body of the infection. In 1997, my health deteriorated drastically. The Lyme had infected my brain severely and I could no longer take care of myself. My husband has been my caretaker and has also researched every treatment imaginable for Lyme disease. He took me for 90 hyperbaric oxygen treatments (which did help, but was not a cure), blood chelation (also helpful, but not the cure), IV antibiotics and antiprotozoans for years (very helpful, but also not the cure). There were many other regimens. I have attempted to eat healthy and take good vitamins and supplements, but I seemed to be fighting a losing battle. Then my husband looked into the Rife-like machines and talked to our sons-in-law (both engineers) and decided that it had real merit. In desperation, he had a machine built and for 17 months I have been using the machine weekly. The quality of my life has improved dramatically. I have horrible herxheimers and they are difficult to endure sometimes, but once the toxins are eliminated I experience a feeling of tremendous improvement. I prayed for the Lord to lead us to a cure and I believe that the machine is it. I wanted to share my story with you in hopes that you will research this for yourself. It has absolutely saved my life when we thought there was little hope for wellness. - Kay

 

LYME DOCTOR RECOMMENDS RIFE MACHINES

 

My LLMD [Lyme Literate Medical Doctor] pushed me to check out rife machines.

Doctors have to be careful though, since rife machines are not licenced by the FDA.

I brought it up once, he said buy one…even if you have to put it on a credit card.

So thats what I did....never been happier.

Letter 1

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to add my voice to rife machines. I’ve

been using an emem3d for 4 & ½ months now for lyme disease and I’m

doing 35% better than I was before using it.

That first month was PURE hell, the

second month was hell, the third month sucked but it wasn’t hell,

the forth month I started reading and smiling again.

I seem to be getting better at about 8% per month.

I almost gave up that first month because I didn’t know it took at

least a year to get better and since I only felt a tiny bit better

after a whole month I figured it was another one of those things that

helped a little and that was it.

But I kept going anyway, I had nothing better to do except waste

away in bed.

Thank god I did, I started thinking, if I keep going at

this rate maybe I’ll actually get cured. But I also kept thinking

I’ll probablly get to a certain point and then stop improving.

AND THEN I read the website about how it takes at least a year to

get better and that filled me with alot of hope.

I have my mother and boyfriend who both have lyme disease doing

the machine now for a month and they both say they feel a tiny bit

better that they did before using the machine.

At this point I’m doing the machine every other day 2 to 3 hours

a day.

Sometimes I get a heavy herx and sometimes nothing much.

Some days I’ll use certain frequencies that don’t do a thing, but

then I try the same ones next week and get a major reaction so I make

sure I try the same freq over and over.

Most of the frequencies I get heavy hits on always seem

to be one off of the ones everyone says is good for lyme.

Also I don’t get the same symptoms every week. They seem to

rotate.

Some of my fears were that I was frying my brain or making

my lyme worse, but I absolutly don’t belive that anymore.

I am improving....SLOWLY...but definitly improving.

I’m thinking about getting the ultimate 3b to use with the emem3d,

I’m hoping maybe I’ll get better quicker. That is, if the FDA didn’t

get to it first.

I’ll write again in a month or two to let you know if I’m

still improving.

Best to everyone,

Chrissy

Letter 2

I was on two months of IV antibiotics before doing the

rife and as soon as they pulled it I was right back to pure misery.

Since I started using the rife I stopped all antibiotics.

I haven’t needed them since, thank god.

I tried borrelogen (a herbal supplement for lyme) and ledum (some

vets were using it for dogs with lyme) neither one really did

anything for me. I wouldn’t waste anymore money on them.

The only two things that I saw immediate and definite results was

liquid oxygen (gave me energy) and SAM-E (made me feel mentally

better)

Oh yea, exercise, When I don’t exercise I feel alot

worse mentally and physically.

Hope this helps,

Chrissy

 

 

UPDATED LETTER FROM ERNIE

Ernie has been fighting Lyme for a long time. He did ICHT in Italy with only some benefit. I received this letter from him today (June 25, 2003). Hopefully we’ll receive more updates as he progresses. You may know him as "efsd25" from LymeNet.

Hi fellow lymies and especially Skyking,

Just want to give you an update. Rife to the rescue! Going on 6 weeks with no abx-after 2.4 years on antibiotics - also incredible!!!!! Am

jogging again- life is great!!!!!!

Am using the B3/amp and a Air coil (Doug-type). This is really a proven combination. I am experimenting with frequencies on the B3, then for those that work (essentially using SkyKing’s/Doug’s List), I blast them with the air coil.

Finally got my MX3000a power amp working. I had bought the power amp used and the input card(module) had been damaged from the previous owner. So I just ordered a new one from QSC (<$60.00), installed it and now I can get 15 amps thru the coil with no effort even in mono (unbridged mode) with the power no more than 1/3 turned up. It is incredible!!!!!!

SkyKing-Thanks for your help earlier on and for your fantastic web site.

Take care,

Ernie

LYME DOCTOR TELLS PATIENT ABOUT RIFE MACHINES

 

I have been amazed by the success stories I’ve heard about rife machines. I met with a group near my home which has been using a plasma rife machine machine, and they say it is the only thing that helped them. Needless to say it got me quite excited. The thought of having a clear mind and strength to go out and do what I used to seemed pretty good.

 

I met with my LLMD yesterday (actually an LLDO) and he asked how my antibiotic treatment was going. I told him the same thing.... some bad days and some really bad days…you know the routine. Then I brought up frequency therapy and told him my brief story about meeting with people who had great luck with it, as well as my own limited experiences with it.

 

As soon as I mentioned “frequency” he pulled out a pad of paper and jotted down the website address of the Lyme-and-rife Yahoo! group, and told me the name of the machine to get (Coil-Machine).  He also talked about some remedies I would need for the severe herx reactions I was going to have. He then told me about a patient of his who is an electrical engineer and has had lyme for about a year. She researched frequency therapy and found that the Coil-Machine was the best way to go. She has had great success in the few months she has used it.

 

My doctor seemed pretty excited that I brought it up and had info ready for me when I did. From what I gathered he cannot bring up the subject because it is not FDA approved. This seems somewhat perverse to me, that there is an effective treatment out there and doctors cannot mention it to their patients because of legal reasons. He seemed pretty frustrated with the system. In the meantime, people suffering from Lyme Disease are left to research their own means of a cure.

 

Peace,

Eric

 

 

LOU ELLEN (email)

I have been lurking since I joined this group the middle of August. I have read several messages asking for people's stories of success with Rife. To start my story, I will tell you I started treatment for Lyme in 1992. From 1992 to 1998, I was on oral antibiotics and each year IV antibiotics at least once a year. I used IV hydrogen peroxide, hyperbaric Oxygen treatments, IV vitamin C, acupuncture, and every supplement known to man but not all ot the same time. I tried Collidal silver and herxed from it but I could not get a dose I could tolerate and since I was nervous about side effects I stopped using it.

In 1997 and 1998 I did many Hyperbaric oxygen treatments with significant improvements. In the fall of 1998, I relapsed to the point of needing IV antibiotics again and became depressed and mad that the cycle was continuing. A friend had told me about Rife but it sounded too fantastic so I had blown him off. I was so mad I called him and asked him if he was still improving with Rife. He was using a Rife-Bare machine and said he was improving. He had an eye on the EMEM2 machine. He got the plans and built one with no tinkering to the original plans. He used it for two months and felt it helped him even more than the Rife-Bare machine. He built a machine for me.

In December 1998, I did my first set four frequencies for 3 min. each. I had such a hard Herx the next week, I thought I was going to die. Neither of us knew too many people who used Rife so we were kind of experimenting on our own. I had never had a Herx that bad, not ever with IV's. I waited a month and tried it again but only for 30 sec. per frequency. I soon learned I could control the Herxes by how much time I used and every two weeks seemed to work best for me. It should be noted that I was receiving IV antibiotics at that time and IV Vitamin C (50 grams once or twice a week. I had to stop IV antibiotics the end of January 1999 due to insurance refusing to pay and went on oral antibiotics. In February 1999, I started acupuncture to improve my immune system. In March my LLMD cut my antibiotics in half as my white blood count would drop after using Rife. But in a few days it would come back up. He was nervous about Rife and said stop rife or cut antibiotics. In May, I felt well enough to stop all antibiotics. I continued IV Vitamin C and accupuncture. Both of these therapies gave me relief from any Lyme symptoms I was having. I tried Flagyl in the fall of 1999 to please my LLMD. I can't remember when but at some point I was reading alot about the need to increase the time on each frequency to 10 minutes and this elimanated Herxes. I had another friend who was using the same machine and he quickly went to 20 - 30 minutes per frequency doing 4 frequencies over 2 days. I thought he was going to kill himself but he improved with leaps and bounds. I finally tried going up to 10 min. per frequency and after rifing felt great, no more Herxs just a big jump in energy. I went up to 20 min. per frequency and tried to limit my time to 1 hour total in a day as that made me feel the best. I fired my LLMD in 2000 which pleased him. I gradually needed rife less and went to every 6 weeks and every 2 months and now every 6 months just in case.

This year I have had a resurgence of Candida due to poor diet and too much sugar. The symptoms of Candida can be very much like Lyme so I rifed but saw no Herxes or benifits. I have not found any frequencies for Candida that work for me.

Does anyone have frequencies they can suggest?

I saw my LLMD and he agreed he felt it was Candida not Lyme. So he gave me the usually meds and a lecture on Diet. I saw my LLMD as the average physician does not believe in aggressively treating Candida anymore than they do Lyme. My LLMD also suggested Questran to get rid of toxins that might be adding to the Candida load. But, even with the Candida problems, it has not significantly affected my lifestyle as Lyme did. I stopped IV Vitamin C in 1999 but continue to receive acupuncture on a regular basis. My Chiropactor does Acupuncture.

I hope this helps others. I have seen that the EMEM has gone up to EMEM5 but I would never give up my EMEM2 as it has saved my life. I have been cautious with the length and time I used the machine just in case there are long term affects but at this time I have not noted any long term affects.

My EMEM2 was built for me at cost which was $330.00. I have not tried all of the CAFL frequencies, I had felt so well in the last couple of year I had not even explored new frequencies. I have recently looked at them and wanted to wait until meds and diet kicked in before trying the frequencies so I can tell if the frequencies are working. Also I am a Special Education Teacher and wanted to get settled back into school routine before starting the frequencies. I plan to start using the frequencies in the next week. If you have any suggestions on which ones to use I will give them a try. Thanks.

GINNY

Dear Bryan,

Thank you for getting this group going. Just a quick note saying

that 2 years ago my son was beginning the 3rd year of struggle with

Lyme. After oral and IV abx and HBO, he still had all symptoms of

Lyme. At that point we began to use a Rife light and after 3 months

his neuro symptoms such as brain fog, dizziness, and sensitivity to

light all but disappeared. His Lyme doc was amazed.

At this time, he is doing fairly well, although he still has fatigue

and muscle pain. He also tested positive for Lyme on a PCR in

August, 02. I am hoping with the input from others on this board I

can find more frequencies that will shut down the Lyme 100%.

Good luck to everyone!

Ginny

I've never felt that there was any danger in doing rife. All I do know is that I have made more progress in the last 7 months of rifing (no abx) than I had made in almost 4 years of abx. It took at least 5 months to see any improvement with rife. In fact the herxes were horrible.Along with rife, I'm also doing a wide variety of great supplements that have done wonders for my immune system. Detoxing and removing dead crap is also key.

Three weeks ago I did a 7 day cleanse with 5 colonics. Prior, my liver, spleen and gall bladder felt like it was being used as a punching bag. The detoxing(hell) was unbelievable. But on the other side, I'm doing much better.

I will win this war!!!! For me rife was the best decision.

CHRISTINE

Hi Jill,

It's good to hear from you. Yes, I can say after 5 months of using this rife machine that its the only thing that has helped me. My heart is almost back to normal! I only got worse in Georgia unfortuneatly. The rife has frequencies not only for Lyme, but for other diseases as well including ALS. It's basically for anything to kill a pathogen. I built my own which is the most powerful and I'd say you're looking at about $700 for everything. Pre-built ones that are less powerful are about $1500-$2000.

Here is a site that has alot of info about Rife for Lyme and about the different machines: http://members.aol.com/theskyking/myhomepage/profile2.html

I'm so happy, this is working for me. I feel just about normal and I've only been doing it for a little less than 6 months! Just keep at it.

This is what I've found to be very helpful:

Do 3-4 frequencies one session every 2 weeks. After you completed 3 sessions switch to 3-4 frequencies and keep doing that every 3 sessions. Also try to sweat everyday to get out the toxins (very important) If you can exercise this is best.

This works Jill. It's working for me when everything else failed. The only thing is it's not a quick fix, it takes about 1-2 years generally to completely kill it all off. But keep in mind that you're getting better and better through out the process. I really hope you can try this. Please email me with any questions you might have about how it works or how to build this.

Lots of Love,

Christine

I just wanted to give an update about my pulsing progress. I have
been only pulsing for about 2.5 weeks and have noticed my symptoms
lessening each day. I have had some rough herxing days, but
tolerable. I stopped abx about 3 weeks ago (never noticed much of a
difference in symptoms while taking antibiotics).  I felt so good
today that I went out for a jog, which I haven't done since getting
sick. My head feels clearer then it has in long time. Still have a
way to go, but I like the progress I am making. I finally have hope
that I will get back my life as I once knew it.

The pulsar and  good supplementation has made a huge difference in
the direction of my lyme disease. I want to thank Robb, Bryan and
everyone in this room who has shared their valuable knowledge and
experience. I hope that I continue to progress at this rate, but
even if I don't I know eventually I will get to where I want to be.

I don't have much experience or knowledge about this disease, but
what ever I have gathered I will be more then happy to share with
anyone who inquires.

Thanks again.

Peace,
Eric

A year ago I was diagnosed with Lyme using Igenex PCR with

antibiotic prequel and other confirming tests. I had been ill for 20

years, and unable to work for 15. I am a 61 year old woman. I ran

2 miles every other day and cut across a golf course where the

deer lived. I had a rash on my leg, but it was not bulls-eye, and

20 years ago, no one thought Lyme. I lived with CFS diagnosis,

had heart problems, severe depression and a mild stroke. My

immune system totally crashed and I lived as a hermit for about

7 years to avoid others illnesses.

A year ago to today, I started oral abx, bicillin for another

condition and immediately began to have terrible herx. I later did

90 days of IV Rocephen with a Groshong heart cath., then

switched to Bicillin, IM 1.2 million units, 3X week. Crashed and

started over. Worked up to 3X week which continues. I also use

B-12 as Methylcobalamin 25mg/ml, 1/2 cc day instead of Flagyl

which opens cysts too fast for my system to handle and causes

neuropathy.

Last July, I added a low-frequency Rife Machine and began

using CAFL and 2 other Frequency sets. I herxed badly for 2

months, then began to feel better, much better. Since October, I

am up every day and beginning to practice my profession again

after these many moons.

My mind is back and I am able to think clearly and creatively

again. I am still numbers challenged unless input visually, then I

can deal with them just fine, just can't do calculations in my

head.

One thing I do is take notice of replication and double up Rife

and Abx during the day before, day of and day after. I have no

doubt that frequency medicine accelerated my recovery

dramatically.

Thanks to all on the list who post. I don't have time anymore but

do try to read occasionally and catch up.

PASCAL (email)

hi, i'm new to this group, i'm dutch, male, 36 years old and life in

berlin, germany.

i pulled a tick of my leg in july 2002... 5 weeks later pure hell

entered my life... i know this sounds unreal, but i got my theory to

this:

the tick visuably caught a major blood-vessel on th inside of my

lower leg... and the bacteria had no problem to spread around

and repeoduce from the first minute on... so i accumulated a

huge load borrelia untill the day i started to feel wrong, about 5

weeks later... a doctor prescribed doxy and as soon i took it, i

arrived in a super-toxic-die-off-state for months and months.... no

sleep at all... one continious big panick attack with no end to it,

call it heavy depressions, emotional mega-stress or just hell...

physicly i had minor aches in tendons, joints, muscles,,eyes, etc.

nothing to freak out about... far not bad enough to take

pain-killers... lucky me . but the major stress in those months

were the bio-chemics on my mental-emotional state...

no doubt i studied the heck out of lyme.. everything available in

german and english and dutch... worldwide.

... saw plenty of doctors, healers, homeopaths, considered icht,

etc.

had several bloodtests done and they were lyme-positiv.

had several weeks of doxy, several weeks of rocephin IV and half

a million other things... nothing helped.

8 months into this unbearable life i found a doc in switzerland,

who claims to have cured people with lyme by the help of a

frequency generator.

i allready had found some info on the topic months earlier,

studied "the cure for all diseases" by Hulda Clark, had bought a

zapper... got no effect from it, allthough the principle of this

technic seemed absolutely genious to me.

a week later i was on the way to switzerland... to do that i had to

use all my willpower and strength, i arrived in switzerland,

allthogh i thought i would never make it.

the doc diagnosed lyme with a resonance-tester, german make..

check out http://www.vegatest.com/

and he treated me with his lyme frequencies for 30 minutes. he

told me to drink lots of water and to expect to get tired soon...

how beautiful after 8 months of hardly any sleep.

i went back to my hotel and drank and slept ! the next morning he

tested again and couldn't find lyme anymore... he told me that he

expects me to be fine in 3-4 months....

on my way home i felt incredibly well, full of joy and power, even

scared to be over-enthusiastic....great...this lasted for 1 1/2 half

days and then it hit me hard again...

i stayed in touch with my swiss-doc and went back 2 months

later, he tested me again- no lyme. according to him, one

treatment often is sufficiant, especially when one had not used

any antibiotics to fight lyme... mainly with people, who didn't know

what they had until he diagnosed lyme and treated them

succesfully... maybe true maybe not.

i went home and bought the exact same machine and started to

treat myself...i didn't want to trust the one-treatment idea for

longer.

i stopped researching (exactly when brians webpage came up,

haha) and used the frequencies from my swiss doc once a

week.

380 kHZ (borrelia burgdorferi) and 382 and 387.5 for the other

two species we have in europe (garinii and afzellii).

380 kiloHz is also what Hulda Clark found to be a lyme

frequency. the other two frex my swiss-doc found out by himself

using the generator and the vegatester together to see the

resonace in patients.

i had to make my own foot-plate to get the frex all the way through

my body, my swiss doc only uses hand-contacts...

see, he isn't a lyme-doc, but a good guy, and i don't doubt that in

some cases he had succes just as he says...

i had rocephin and so i have the mutated forms of lyme that

might not get killed by the frex untill they come out of the cysts

again later.

the first 3-4 months after the innitial treatment in switzerland i

couldn't see a bit of improvement, except that the first 2-3 weeks

were tougher than the further weeks.

month 4-5 were up and down, 7-10 days of having the feeling

that i'm on top of the disease and then back the other way

around. this lasted for two months. the bad periods getting

weaker and shorter, the good periods better and longer.

after this i 've been feeling well for the last2-3 months, still

improving. i still have symptomes, but don't feel sick anymore, i

can do things and feel alive. from the outside i'm 100% ok. BUT:

i believe that 98% of the lyme-load i had is erradicated and i can

only agree with brians opinion that contact devices do not have

the ability to spread the freq evenly through all tissues of your

body and so i experience ongoing (mild) problems with joints

and tendons... no more- no less.

now, i'm at the point of building a coil device to wipe out the

remaining borreliae that couldn't be reached by my generator (it's

called hCL1000, dutch make, similar to a B4 without amp)

i'm very happy about the improvement i've experienced so far, i

don't have to suffer anymore, but i think there's some lyme left

that needs a coil and it's penetrating field to be wiped out.

i have about 10 lyme-friends here in germany , who are

somewhere on the way with their generators or come to my

house to use mine...most people don't speak english well

enough, to study brians site....

there is definately a way to resonate the bugs to death.

and besides a million things that all might help to bear the

disease, frequency devices elliminate the cause!

this is my opinion, based on my experience with 380 KHz.

i wonder if any of you guys have tried 380KHz with a coil or B4 !?!

i'm not an expert on electronics, but i have people who can help

me with making my coil device. i would appreciate it if someone

could design a proper schematic layout, besides all the written

and drawn explanations, how to build the coil device.

.. according to my experience in 8 months of using my

contact-device, i believe now that a strong electro-magnetic field

is needed to reach all of your body.

by the time i'll be free of lyme and it's symptomes i wanna ask

brian for permission to translate his info-page into dutch and

german... so the thousands of sufferers over here can also

benefit from this beautiful technology.

i wish you all a lot of patience and strength. i'll keep you posted

about my progress.

if you want to find out about the craft i developed in the last 15

years, check out http://www.handcutworldcoins.com/

besides this craft i produce and play music, when i'm not sick.

good luck,

Letter 1

I have used an ENERGY WELLNESS MACHINE (USES PADS, NOT TUBES) for 1 year now and am doing well..i take abx only part time (two weeks a month) and am working on a rife and herbal protocol to get me off abx completely. I was positive for lyme (regular and cyst) babesia, and two strains of bartonella...i now only have lyme and feel normal 80-90% of the time.. I have used both pad and tube rife machines and think both work..tubes better for lyme, and pads are better for lymph drainage and detox...Detoxing you body it the key..toxin build up is what makes you feel bad..water, water , water, raw veggies , and colonics are what i use to get the stuff out..also run detox numbers on the rife machine...I spent $2,500 dollars on mine and feel like it was worth every penny...I would try one before you buy it though...I found after two treatments it was going to be thing that would turn me around...You have to go SLOW and go easy at first because the herxes are nightmares..If you do to much to soon you can really damage the liver...e.mail me for more info...greg

Letter 2

Bryan,

I hope this helps you with the book. E mail me for questions or comments. Feel free to grammer and spell check...

My nightmare with lyme disease began about two years prior to my diagnosis in June of 2001. Like many lyme patients I went through a number of doctors, diagnosis, and symptoms before finally diagnosing myself and finding a LLMD. I remember the warm june night in 2001 when i was surfing the net and wound up on Lymenet.org...I read post after post from lyme patients, describing many of the odd, often random symptoms, I had been experiencing for the last 2 or so years. The headaches, the stiff neck, chronic sinus infections, heart palpitations, nausea, sweats, chills, joint pain and depresion. I thought to myself "crap, this is it"

Through Lymenet.org I found a LLMD in the D.C. area and was lucky enough to get an appointment in two weeks. My first visit was a weight off my shoulders..I would be getting help. My first blood tests came back and by LLMD brought me back in and sat me down for the "this is going to be a long road " talk...He explained how it could take months just to find out if the antibiotic cocktail he was putting me on was going to work..He explained the ins and outs of the herx and what to expect. Then he showed me my lab results and told me that I had more positive bands on my IgG and IgM western blot than just about anyone he had seen..( I had 8 on IgG and 6 on IgM..it only takes 5/2 for the cdc to concider you positive for lyme..) He told me that he was also concerned that I may be coinfected with Babesia, based on some of my symptoms, but wanted to put me on Doxy and Amoxicillian for a while to see if it would relieve some of my headaches caused by brain swelling..

In the first few months I saw a relief of symptoms, between some fairly severe herxes. My vision was blurry all the time , I was sore all over, depressed, and nauseated..I was really toxic almost all the time.Then at the fourth month I crashed again the fatigue returned and I felt alot more Lyme and alot less Herx. I went back in and my blood test showed equivocal for babesia and two strains of bartonella (Henslae and Quintana). The war was on and I was getting my ass kicked. I started what would be a 8 month round of Mepron and Zithromax. I started to see some much needed progress, but was looking for something to help me "turn the corner"

My LLMD told me to go get colonic therapy to keep the toxins out of my body and introduced me to some non traditional web sites to aid my effort.. Around the same time I had been reading posts on Lymenet about Rife technology.. I went on an emailing frenzy, and learned as much as I could. Rife seemed like it was worth a try. My LLMD was really into the eastern medicine and very open minded, about alternative stuff. I felt lucky because I know alot of MD’s are not..He did’nt even flinch when I told him about rife. He thought there was some merit to it and told me to let him know how it went.

I found a wellness clinic in Sarasota Florida That had a Bio Ray machine. It is a $6,000 unit that runs off a software program. It sweeps, pulses and does everything you want a rife machine to do.. It runs a tube. In March of 2002 I went down for a week of treatments. I was warned to go easy on the first few treatments. I was sceptical it would even work. I had read enough about lyme by this point that I felt like it was nearly indistructable. I went for the gusto and ran the 65 min program that was pre programed into the unit..I knew from the second miniut of the first frequency that this thing was the real deal..Later that night I would realize I made a HUGE mistake. The die off was other worldly , I was having muscle spasms, convulsions , nausea, eye floaters, heart palpitations and all of my other lyme symptoms..I didnt sleep that night. I honestly thought I might die. I knew I had gone overboard. I e-mailed one of my rife contacts and told him what was happening.. He said "gallons of water" and go easy, or you will trash your liver. The next day I ran an organic coffee enema, something I had started doing months before to rid myself of toxins..I started to feel "better" about the time I went in for my 2nd treatment....Two days later.... I knew i was still toxic, so I went alot easier. I programed a shorter program (22 min.) into the computer and mixed it with some detox frequencies. I also ran some numbers for babesia. The Herx from the second session did not wait for 5 hours, like the first one did.. It started on my ride back to Tampa...I will warn you now, dont drive after your first twenty or so sessions, you have no buisness being behind the wheel, thank God my mom was driving. I got home and slept for four hours. Woke up in the most confused, foggy state I had ever been in.. I literally could not speak in full sentences. I started drinking more water, I was going to the bathroom every 15 min. No joke. The next day I felt the best I had felt in months. I continued to detox that day, another organic coffee enema, and herbal teas, gallons of water. I knew then, that after two sessions, that this was the thing that would make me better. I did two more sessions that week . The last session I ran the 65 min. program again and held on for the ride. I knew I was killing spirochetes. This herx was worse than the first, probably due to the fact that I was so toxic. I also noticed that I was herxing well into the next day. I could feel the sharp pinpoint pains as the spirochetes were dieing in my brain, spinal column, and deep muscles. I felt like a few things were going on. First I think some numbers dont really kill the lyme, maybe just stun them , later your killer cells catch up and get them. That is why you get the "day after" herxes. Or , there is some sort of "unlocking" mechanism going on. They are getting scared out of deep tissue or perhaps being "converted" to standard form from the cyst or granule forms. I was getting die off where I had not gotten die off with the antibiotics. It made me realize there was not a square inch on my body that the lyme was not living. I knew , even with rife, it was going to be a long fight. I realized antibiotics were not going to work...Anyone who tells me that thier antibiotics are working. I tell them to rife. They will soon see the difference. The frequencies get to places the abx cant..my opinion.

I went back to my home in Frederick Md. and spent the next two weeks ridding myself of toxins. Some of the ways you can tell you are really toxic... If you have headaches, nausea and depression that fade in and out on a min. to min. basis. This is the toxified blood circulating through your liver, brain and other organs..Being this toxic is not good and you should do everything you can to avoid this. It can and will damage organs.. I myself was worried about this until after the second week I started feeling better. It was not until I went for my second round of treatments the next month that I felt good.. I was feeling the best I had felt in two years the three or four days before I started my treatments. I knew I was about to end that spell though and was almost afraid to do rife again.

I agree with Bryan, that if you are not ready to suffer through the herxes you wont get better. I also feel like the first session should not make you afraid of the second..I will contradict myself by saying that a strong first few sessions seemed to "nuke" the spirochetes. Like anything else I believe lyme can get used to rife. If you can surprise it with new freqs. and longer run times i think it helps. The other side ot that coin is the toxicity issue. You Have To Kow Your Body. Be careful. I DO NOT recomend long run times like I did. The only reason I tell you about it is that I hope it will convince you to be careful. Even if you run one fourth of my first few sessions i would say you will herx far harder than you ever did on abx. Remember I was on massive amounts of antibiotics for 9 months before i started using the rife machine.. I would almost recomend letting the abx work the bacteria load down before you start rifing, but rife works so well, and abx are so hard on your gut, that I cant recomend getting off of them fast enough..Again only you know when the time is right. One thing about lyme, it teaches you to pay attention to your body. If you feel like you dont have a handle on what is going on with your body while on abx, I suggest you be extra careful with the first few rife sessions.

My second round of treatments were in April of 2002. This time I was more cautious. The first three sessions , I ran a 12 min babesia sequence, and my 22 min. lyme sequence, that is only 16 min of lyme and 6 min. of detox. I ran one min pulse and 1min. sweep for all freqs. This time the herxes were more tollerable and i was able to run or ride my bike the evening of my treatments. I went every other day..The fourth treatment I ran numbers that I thought would be good for bartonella. Since I could not find specific bartonella freqs. I looked up trench mouth, foot and mouth, and other general infection numbers. All of my numbers are listed below. I believe the numbers i used for killing bartonella are effective because I was never on the correct abx protocall to get rid of it, and now i test negative for both strains.The numbers also produced herx reactions, they were run seperate of lyme freqs. Of course the last session found me running the 65 min. lyme sequence...I wasnt sure when I was going to be able to get back to Florida for treatments so I was "craming". I was surprised to find out that the herx was maybe a third of what it was the first time. I found this very encouraging. I took a week to detox, and knew I was on the right road. My stiff popping neck was gone, the tight feeling in my chest was gone, brain fog was gone as was my difficulty putting words together.

A month later my tax return came in and I spent it on rife treatments, This time I played with new numbers and longer run times on the numbers that were working for me. I felt like I was learning to use the machine, rather than just running a bunch of numbers.. I used alot of the numbers off of the Silva list, plus some numbers from other people playing with rife. It was like i started over again..New numbers new herx. I cant recomend trying as many of the numbers for lyme as you can find. Even numbers that are close are worth a shot. After my May session I decided to look into getting my own unit. It was getting old going to Fl. every month, and i thought it would be more effective to have my own machine. I knew that it was going to take a while, even with rife and antibiotics.

My research began and I looked at alot of different units. I ended up with a unit that uses hand held cylinders, and foot pads. It is made by Energy Wellness. I knew it would not be the six thousand dollar unit i had been spoiled by, but this unit was programable. Meaning i could input a string of frequencies, hit run, and sit back and kill bugs.It is so nice to be able to run a freq and it automatically go to the next. I really does reduce the session time. You can sit back watch hockey and kill bugs. There is enough memory in mine for 100 of my own progreams , each program can run 32 frequencies. I was also willing to take the risk on a pads unit. I used the tube and had heard the pad units worked as well, better in some cases. I put it on my credit card and took the leap of faith..The price was $ 2,449.00 . After using the machine for a year now I will tell you that I am much farther along than I thought I could ever be. I am on the edge of being abx free. I still pulse with doxy and a ceftin/ flagyl combo to get the cyst form. I am on abx less than ten days a month. I think it will be another year before I am 100% symptom free. Then I will still continue to rife.

 

 

The Energy Wellness machine was my first choice, and I still believe it is a good machine and capable of getting me cured of this..There are some things you should know about it so that you can make your own choice.The biggest drawback I can see is that there are "only" 258 frequencies pre-programed into the unit. Therefore you cant choose a specific freq. You have to work with what they give you. It sounds like alot, but when you start playing with the numbers it really isnt. For instance, if you are coinfected with either Babesia, HME, or HGE there are only a few effective numbers for each. Meaning you dont have the ability to run every freq.that is out there for the specific disease. Also there are some key lyme freqs. missing, but I have found this to be of little consequence. The EW machine also cannot sweep between freqs. This may sound like a bad thing, and maybe it is, but the fact is I continue to get better. Would I have gotten better faster if it could sweep? I am not sure. I do know that I have used the Bio Ray unit in Fl. since having my machine, and I dont feel like I herx any more on that machine,than I do with mine. Even on the numbers I do not have on my machine. On the plus side you can set the intensity that you want, and since all freqs. feel a little different, this is good. Some signals are strong, some need to be turned up a bit and this is a nice feature. Also the machine sends the frequency in pulses, like the Bio Ray. I feel like this disrupts the bugs better. I have run the Bio Ray on steady and notice the die off is less severe. The EW machine (now in its third generation) is accurate to 1/1000 of the advertized Hz reading. So you know when you are running a number it is accurate.I believe the EW machine was designed with cancer in mind as you will find alot of cancer numbers in there. Also some numbers known to cause damage to the body are omited. Probably for lawsuit avoidance. Would I buy the same machine again?? I am not sure, I know alot more about the various machines now, than when i purchased mine. I believe you should try a few out, dont be afraid to spend the money. I know that I will continue to periodically use the machine in Sarasota because I can fly for free (I work for the airlines) and I believe in hitting lyme with everything you can. Also the Naturopath that runs the clinic knows alot, and its good to bounce stuff off of him (More on that later). I would not feel like i needed to buy another machine if mine was the only one i could use. I am not saying this because i spent $2,500 and dont want to admit i made a mistake. I know how much lyme costs (financially, and otherwise) and would not recomend the machine if I felt It did’nt work. I really feel like unless you plop down the $6,000 for the Bio Ray you are compromising anyway...Just my opinion....It does everything well...One more thing I think pad and tube are equally effective, I do think the pad units clean out the Lymph system beter..This comes from running equal run times on the same freqs. on both machines...Keeping the Lymphatic system clean is key to staying detoxed, in turn reducing symptoms.

Do I think Rife is the only thing you need to get better? NO...It is the one thing that turned me around, and got me back on my feet though. I still concider it the most important part of my treatment regimen. Anyone who has had lyme for a long time knows that there is no magic bullet, wonder cure, or protocall that works 100% of the time for 100% of the people. This is why lyme is a problem. It takes throwing everything you can at it , doing your homework, and talking to as many people as you can. If you are only doing what your doctor is telling you, it probably isnt enough..I am not saying dont listen to your LLMD, I am saying go beyond what he has to say . Remember, you are the one who is sick , you are in charge of your health.

Going off abx is scary. I did it for a month last year to get my gut back in order. You are always waiting for the other foot to drop. I kept rifing during that month,, and realised that I wasnt going to "crash" like alot of the people who go off drugs. The rife machine was keeping my head above water. Furthermore I felt great being off the drugs. I had more energy, the yeast was going away and my apetite for healthy foods was returning. I started to question why I was even on drugs.. So I told my LLMD I was ready to pulse and he went with it. I was down to doxy only and at 400mg a day , two thirds of my prior dose. I also noticed that the rife machine seemed to be getting more bugs while I was off the abx. I was starting to learn that abx are just suppressive therapy.. They keep them down so you feel fine, they are still there, they are just hiding !!!! There is no hiding from the rife machine. Since last summer my LLMD has let me run my own show, he knows the rife works, but he wants to make sure that we take care of the cyst form. By this summer I will not use abx. Already I am going three weeks at a time off of abx.

At the present time I am rifing 2-3 days on and 3-4 days off. This schedule seems wierd, but it has to flow with the pattern of my job. I am a flight attendant and spend three to four days a week away from home..My machine is only 4"x6" and small enough to take with me, but trying to explain it to the security screeners is a drag. Especially since Sept. 11th. So I just rife on the days I am home, detox on the road.. It works well, and the four days away from the rife machine seems to be what it takes for the lyme to come back out. It might be different for you.. Most of the hotels I overnight in have saunas so I make sure I spend some time in there. I eat alot of raw veggies drink ALOT of water and excersize everyday, even if it is just to stretch out.I try to avoid developing a pattern. I do think lyme are smart enough to figure out things if you get into to much of a rythm. So if I am off a day or two here and there it usually means I get a better herx. I dont sweat it when i start feeling "lymie" while I am out on a trip, because I know when I get home they are going to get their teeth kicked in!! I do notice that if I run 600mg of doxy the day after my last rife session it seems to "mop" up. Meaning I get better than usual die off. This is what I am using the drugs for at this point. I never take abx more than four days in a row.

When you first start to rife you will just be thinking of killing bugs. I cant stress enough to try the detox and pain relief numbers as well. They really work..I also play around with numbers below 20hz. These numbers stimulate alpha and beta brain waves and can be good for inducing deep sleep, fighting depression and stress. You will notice that some numbers make you very tired. This is welcome for many with lyme who fight with insomnia and early waking. I have a lyme sequence that will put me to sleep before the program is done running. It is nice when you are not feeling well. The best part is you dont wake up groggy, like you do when you take sleeping pills.

Herbal Therapy

My current herbal supplements include Hepalin brand artemisin caps. 2x100mg a day. Olive leaf extract(OLE), Grapefruit seed extract(GSE) (except the days I am on doxy, it contadicts doxy)garlic, sarsasparilla, usnea , red clover, spillanthes, stillingia, and prickly ash. The last six come from a cherokee indian remedy for lyme. Those herbs work to keep the blood cleaned out and increase deep tissue circulation. OLE, GSE are natural antibiotics and Artemisin is for the babesia (just making sure i got it all). I also take 600 mg of amino acid chelated Magnesium a day as well as selenium. There is alot of mineral deficiency that goes with long time abx use (especially doxy), as well as those with chronic infection. There is also alot of research being done on Mg as a method of firing up the mitochondria in the cells..A method of "unsticking" the lyme from the cells, a sort of uncoupling agent. Usnic acid in Usnea does the same. Since starting heavier doses of Mg I have noticed deeper herxes and less symptoms of toxicity..If you do your research you will find that alot of the Lyme symptoms are the same as Mg deficiency. Probably not to coincidental for those on long term antibiotics. I also take a good multivtamin, sublingual vitamin B and vitamin c (it helps doxy cross the blood brain barrier) I try to get everything else from a good diet. I eat alot of greens, garlic and lean meat. Mostly try to stay away from "dead" processed food...Most of my veggies i eat raw. No dairy. The cleaner your diet the better you will feel, especially when you start rifing.

You should do something to get the blood flowing every day. Excersise is very important.( If you are having heart problems talk with your doc.) It will help you feel a whole lot better, especially when you start to rife. It is a vital part of the oxygenation of the body, and keeps the toxins flushed out..You need to find a way to sweat, walking wont cut it..Excersize boosts the immune system as well as raising you core body temperature. Two things spirochetes hate is oxygen and a high core temperature. It slows down thier reproduction. I continued to run and cycle even when I was sick. I remember during a run my vision was so blurry i could barely see the cracks in the sidewalk. I found that when I had a bad headache, a short 20 min run would get rid of it. Also if you are still on abx it will drive them deeper into tissue..

If you can remember that lyme is intollerant to heat (high body core temperature) oxygen (starves them out) and acid (cant reproduce in an acidic environment) it will be easier to build a plan for fighting lyme naturally. The herbs usnea (usnic acid) and sarsaparilla are high in tannic acids, and work to keep the Bb from reproducing. Sarsaparilla is an old remedy for syphillis, and an indian remedy for lyme....both organisms are spirochetes. Heat produced by excersize and the lactic acid byproduct aid in the release of Bb from deep tissue while, the circulation increases detox while also driving abx deeper into tissue. GSE, while being effective for yeast and fungal infections is also effective (in high doses) against many bacteria in vitro. The high acid content kills many on contact. OLE is another that is a natural antibiotic.*** Hot baths are a daily for me. I mix in my hot water, epsom salts (magnesium!) and Hydrogen peroxide (one bottle) a couple times a week. It helps with oxygenation and loosens up stiff lymie muscles... I think of it this way, everything i do, from diet to excersize , to sleep has a negative effect on lyme

During my year of using Rife technology and herbs I have maintained normal blood levels, despite the use of five types of antibiotics and atovaquone (Mepron).

My CBC and CMP all come back in the normal range. And despite being on a more acidic diet, my body ph returned to the normal range after scaling back on abx.

Just as important is sleep. It is the time when the body repairs itself. You will notice the night after a rife you will herx pretty hard. As you drift off to sleep your imune system picks up and you will feel some good die off. Its when your body gets its work done.

Below are the run times and frequencies for the two machines i have used. I never stop experimenting. Just last week i found a number that works very well. Like anything with lyme never settle for just enough. I have noticed that if you change the order of the numbers you are running it can make a profound difference. As always start with the proven numbers and go from there....AND GO SLOW...

MRS. GRAHAM’S STORY, WRITTEN BY HER HUSBAND MIKE

My Wife’s Battle Against Lyme disease.

In February of 1992, my wife Brenda was outside cleaning up the yard in the front of our house in Grimsby Ontario. It was a beautiful spring day, and some leaves needed cleaning out of the front cedar bushes. She always enjoyed gardening, and working in the yard.

When she came into the house for the evening, she had something on her neck, which looked like a small piece of black dirt, unusual for that area as most of the dirt was redish brown. She washed it off, and it went down the sink, and didn’t think any more of it.

After this, her health started to deteriorate, and so she kept a bit of a diary as to how things progressed. I have taken information from the diary, as well as other things we learned, and hopefully sharing this with others will help them in the future.

March 15, 1992 - Brenda went to a doctor in Grimsby to get her ear checked, because she felt there was something wrong, she also had a very bad, and unusual headache (she seldom gets headaches). She also had a red blotch on the right side of her neck which looked like a bite. The Dr. said he did not know what the red blotch was and prescribed 250 cefuroxime axetil twice a day for 1 week for ear infection.

April 1, 1992 - the ear was better but she still had the mark on her neck. We were leaving for California for a pre-arranged business trip. She was not feeling very well but wanted to go so much that she went anyway. We visited a friend who is a nurse in California and she thought the mark on her neck might be a fungal infection, and suggested she use "Quadriderm" creme for the rash. She did this for two weeks and the mark faded, but did not go completely away.

April 8, 1992 - She was feeling very fatigued, sleeping 12 hours or more at a time. Also she had a fever of 101 degrees for 3 days even though she was taking Tylenol for it.

April 15, 1992 - Her left ankle, and then her right wrist started to suddenly hurt a great deal. She went to the Queenston Medical Clinic in Hamilton since she could not get in to her family doctor. The doctor at the walk-in clinic said that he would test her for mono and that he was not sure but the red blotch could be a fungal infection. The mono test was negative. The doctor gave her Micatin cream.

May, 1992 - The rash that she had, started to change. A large, red/purplish ring appeared on her neck all around where the original blotch had been about the size of a baseball, and the center cleared. It looked much like a target. . It was such a strange rash, that she had me take a photograph of it, which was one of the smartest things we could have done. She also was having a lot of joint pain by now. She went to the doctor in Grimsby, and he said he had never seen anything like this before. He took a scraping for fungus, and it was negative. The doctor’s nurse said it kind of looked like a bruise, which it was not. The doctor sent her to a dermatologist. The dermatologist carefully examined the area on her neck with his magnifying glass, and thought it could possibly be a bite in the center. Then he said "if I didn’t know any better, I would say it’s a Lyme disease rash, but it can’t be since there is no Lyme in Ontario," a statement we learned later was un-true. He took some blood to do a Lyme test, and the test came back negative. As a result of the negative test, he refused to treat her with anti-biotics. (4 weeks of anti-biotics at the rash stage can kill Lyme very easily.)

May 26, 1992 - The lyme test came back negative. By now my wife was trembling some nights. She would also have dizziness and nausea that would last for a day or so, and then go away. I remember one night she had so much pain in her elbows that she had them propped up on two pillows, and was moaning in her sleep.

At that time all of the doctors seemed to go on strike against the disease. Without a positive blood test, they refused to treat her. My wife had read an article about Lyme in a magazine, and it mentioned a doctor who was very heavily involved in the disease. He was located in Ajax Ontario, so she decided to go see him. He also did testing on her, and again the tests came back negative, and he subsequently refused to treat her for Lyme.

June 9, 1992 - Brenda went to a Doctor of internal medicine in Toronto. He took a lot of blood tests for Lupus, Thyroid, and some other auto-immune diseases. All blood work and urine came back within normal range, and he said that she should just wait and the bad joint, and tendon pains that were keeping her awake and home most of the time would just probably go away. As the time passed, other symptoms developed. Her feet hurt, her tongue was numb, all of her major joints hurt including her elbows, wrists, knees. We went to Toronto the 1st week of July for a function at the Sky Dome. We stayed at the Holiday Inn only 2 blocks away from the facility. In order to get there, she had to take a cab from the hotel as she was in so much pain she couldn’t even walk to the stadium.

July 23, 1992 - We took Brenda back to the doctor in Toronto, her pains were still severe. The clinic where the doctor practices was a special clinic in Toronto where specialists come from around the area. The doctor’s were baffled, and then I said to the one doctor, "suppose the tests are wrong, and she actually does have Lyme, for the sake of a few anti-biotics, do you want to take the risk?" As soon as I mentioned the word risk, he consented to give her some anti-biotics, 4 weeks of tetracycline, 250 mg. every 8 hours. She found some improvement after being on the anti-biotics for 4 weeks however 1 week after the prescription ended the pains in her tendons and bones started to get worse again. Also an unusual rash came and went on the opposite side of her neck from where the original rash was.

August - On one beautiful summer day my wife just had to get out of the house. While out, we bumped into a friend, Mona Smith who lived in Grimsby. She asked Brenda how she was feeling and she responded "I’m terrible." "What’s wrong" Mona asked. "The doctor thought I might have Lyme disease, but the test came back negative, so I don’t know what I have" Brenda replied. Mona had a sister who worked in the library in Hamilton, she mentioned the problem to her sister, and she looked up some information on Lyme in the library, photo-copied it, and sent it to my wife. In the information was the address, and phone number of a Lyme support group in Connecticut. Brenda sent away for the information, and as soon as she read it she knew that she had Lyme disease, as the symptoms matched the information exactly.

About this time, we also heard of a friend who’s daughter had been bitten by a tick in South Carolina while on vacation, and when she came back to Canada, the family doctor in Grimsby gave the little girl 4 weeks of anti-biotics "just in case." We thought that this doctor might be more open to helping my wife. As we were reading over the information from the Lyme support group I noticed the name of a Doctor Burrascano from East Hampton on Long Island in New York who seemed to be an expert in the field of Lyme Disease. I called their office, and asked them if anyone had ever died of Lyme. They said that not in their care, however others had. We were able to put the new doctor in Grimsby in touch with Dr. Burrascano, and he agreed to treat my wife under Dr. Burrascano’s guidelines. We also made an appointment to go to see Dr. Burrascano in East Hampton at the end of October (he is extremely busy.)

September 2, 1992 - She awoke very dizzy and nauseated. Also had a lot of joint pain behind the knees, and ankles. By this time she could not even walk around the block.

September 4, 1992 - Started IV anti-biotics. 2 grams of cefotaxime (claforan) 3 times a day. This was under the guidelines of Doctor Burrascano.

Dr. Burrascano’s treatment guidlines may be seen on the internet at http://www.sky.net/~dporter/lyme1.html. Click on "Clinical Information", then click on Latest Diagnosis and Treatment Recommendations of Dr. Joseph Burrascano.

September 15, 1992 - Brenda was feeling improvement after 11 days of IV Cefotaxime. She still had arthritic pains in her right knee, and the tendons in her arms and legs were very sore. She was also very sick on the 3rd day of IV treatment, she was in a lot of pain and seemed to be coming down with this illness all over again, but fortunately this passed and she was now feeling a lot of improvement. She had now slept without 222’s for about 1 week.

At that point in time, we did now know about Herxheimer reactions. The anti-biotics were causing a kill off of the bacteria, which subsequently made her feel ill, a normal reaction discovered by Jarisch- Herxheimer, and hence the name.

September 29, 1992 - Brenda had a very bad yeast infection from the anti-biotics. She also had a lot of pelvic pain, and burning.

September 30, 1992 - Stopped the IV anti-biotics that day because of the yeast infection. Also my wife just wasn’t feeling right. Doctor Burrascano had said to monitor her white blood count as the anti-biotics can cause this to reduce, a side effect called Leukopenia. On September 19th, her white blood count had dropped to 3.6. Just after she stopped taking the IV, the doctor phoned, and said it was a good thing she had as her white blood count had now dropped to 2.5, which can be very dangerous, the normal range is from 4-11.

October 2, 1992 - Stayed off of anti-biotics for September 30, and October 1st in order to stop the yeast infection and to allow her white blood cell count to come back. On October 2nd, she started taking an oral anti-biotic, biaxin.

October 4, 1992 - Almost felt normal. Had a nice day with our son. The pain started again in the evening. Did not sleep well at all. She was kept awake with pain in her joints, and tendons. She took 3 -222’s, but they did not seem to help.

October 5, 1992 - Felt terrible first thing in the morning. Did not go anywhere at all. By early evening, she was feeling a little better. The pain started to over-take her at night again. Just before she went to bed, she took a hot bath, and 2-222’s. She never slept at all, so she got up at 4 A.M. and took two more 222’s. Again, she never slept. The pain was in her neck, under her jaw, and her legs, arms, wrists, and hip bones hurt.

At this point, my wife also had chest pains periodically.

October 19, 1992 - I had arranged to take Brenda to Doctor Burrascano. We finally were able to see him. To this point, we were trying to cure her of a mystery illness thought to be Lyme disease, but we were unsure because of the negative blood test. Doctor Burrascano tested her pressure points, asked some questions, and then we showed him the photograph of the rash we had taken several months earlier. Doctor Burrascano’s conclusion was that she had Lyme disease, in fact he said it was a classic case of the disease. I asked him about the negative blood test, and he replied, "did they not tell you there is no good test for Lyme?" Finally we knew what we were treating.

Doctor Burrascano said that as a medical doctor, he could only prescribe that which was known to help Lyme. She was to take evening primrose oil, slow-mag, a multi-vitamin like centrum silver, her anti-biotics, and 300 mgs of Co-Q-10 each day. "What is Co-Q-10" I asked. He proceeded to tell us that Co-Q-10 is in every cell in your body, it is the energy producer. When they had done biopsies of people’s heart muscles that had Lyme, they found them deficient in Co-Q-10. Of course the organ that needs the most Co-Q-10 is the heart. (There is an excellent book entitled "The Miracle Nutrient Co-Q-10"). After taking the Co-Q-10 for two weeks, my wife’s chest pains had disappeared. He also encouraged her to do physiotherapy as exercise seems to burn off the spirochetes, the bacteria that causes the infection. It was from this point on that my wife’s health seemed to turn around.

December 1, 1992 - We had a second visit to Dr. Burrascano. Each time we went there, we seemed to learn something new. My wife was on all of the treatment he prescribed, and was getting better, but still had pains, and needed lots of rest, at least 10 hours each night. She was also having problems with her white blood count, which kept going down. Dr. Burrascano’s answer was to put her on pulse therapy, that is she would take a heavy dose of anti-biotics for two days, and then she was off for five days. He said she would still have a Herxheimer, which is what one wants to kill the bacteria. This seemed to help her.

March 15, 1993 - We had another appointment with Dr. Burrascano. My wife was getting better, but still had pain, and her bad days. She still required at least 10 hours sleep each night. Her physiotherapy was helping, and she was getting stronger.

July 15, 1993 - We moved from Ontario to British Columbia in order to be closer to family, and for some moral support. Brenda was feeling better, but still had the pains at times, and lacked energy.

About 6 months prior to moving, our friends sister who worked at the Hamilton Library called my wife, and told her about a new book that had just arrived on Lyme. It was compiled by Lora Mermin, and was entitled "Lyme Disease 1991 Patient/Physician Perspectives from the U.S. & Canada." I read the entire book, and learned a great deal. We also received other bulletins at that time from other Lyme support groups in our quest to cure this terrible disease. One of the things we learned is the similarity of Lyme, and MS. We also learned about a study where 70 MS patients were treated as if they had Lyme, and 50% responded. Was MS, Lou Gehrigs disease, Chronic Fatigue, and Lupus all caused by insect bites? One documented case in Finland of Lyme was caused by a mosquito bite. All of the bites we receive during our life time, are they the cause of these diseases?

After I read the book, I thought that it would be beneficial to others, should they happen to get this dreaded disease so that they would not have to go through all the bad experiences that we had. I subsequently ordered 20 books from Lora, and distributed them to libraries around the Grimsby area. This also brought about another turn of events, which I will relate later.

March 1994 - My wife is doing better, still taking her anti-biotics, and going for her blood test. We have occasion to go to a sales meeting in Florida, so on the way we fly via New York and see Dr. Burrascano again. He is pleased with her progress, but she still has pain, needs lots of rest, and has the white blood cell problem. Fortunately when we move to British Columbia, my wife finds a good doctor that will still treat her under Dr. Burrascano’s guidelines.

I think around January of 1994 - Lora mermin sends us an update to her book published in 1991. In the update there is a letter from a fellow by the name of Pete who has built some strange machine that cured his Lyme disease. Sounded kind of off the wall to me, but if I was ever going to get my wife completely better, why not investigate. Fortunately Pete lived near Seattle, only a two hour drive from where we now live. I phoned Pete, and asked if we could see him, and his machine.

March 1994 - We went to visit Pete, and before we could see his machine, he wanted to explain how he learned about it and the theory behind it as well.

Pete was extremely ill with Lyme, in fact he thought he was going to die. Also his two children, and his wife had the disease. He was preparing his estate, and sold his business. Some "shirt-tailed" relative of his told him about this machine that they had in the 30’s and 40’s that would kill certain types of bacteria. Pete read the book the Cancer Cure that Worked, and thought that this might work on Lyme. He started to do some experimentation with a frequency generator, a coil, and an amplifier along with some matching capacitors. He placed some of the bacteria (burgdorferi borellia, the spirochete type bacteria that causes Lyme) on his microscope, and then started his frequency generator, and at about 306 Hz, the bacteria started to vibrate like crazy, broke in half, and died. While viewing this occurrence in his microscope, he of course had his head near the coil, and received the worst Herxheimer reaction he had ever had in his life. He subsequently started using larger amplifiers, and different coils until he arrived at the current design, which uses a 2000 watt QSC MX-2000 amplifier.

He took us down into his basement, and said if we wanted to use the machine, we could turn it on. For the 1st session, I put the coil on my wife’s mid-section for only 1 minute, and then she was to see how she reacted. My wife did feel something at a certain frequency, and she had some reaction to the machine, primarily a good bowel movement.

Two weeks later, we went back to see Pete again. This time, I held the coil longer, about 2 minutes in her mid-section. She also wanted it held by her elbows as that was where most of her pain was. Again, she had some reaction to it. All during this time, my wife was still on anti-biotics, and still had pain. She needed about 10 hours rest each night, but she was much better than she was a year earlier.

April 10, 1994 - We went back to see Pete again. I put the coil on her neck, chest, belly, knees, and her foot. The frequency was 854 Hz. Pete also helped me build a coil, it was only a 2Mh coil that was good for lower frequencies from 300 to 432 Hz, as I didn’t have any matching capacitors. After I built the machine, I took it down to Seattle, and had Pete check it over, and it seemed to work fine. From that time on, about every two weeks, I would give my wife a session on the machine. About June of 1994, my wife started to have more energy, and she said "you know, I think that machine is working, I am starting to feel better." I remember after one session, the very next day she had her blood test for the white blood count. It had shot up to 8. Her white blood count had never been that high, was it the machine? We were sure it was. The treatments continued on using 345 frequency, and then I found some capacitors that allowed me to match the coil to the frequency and try other frequencies. The next frequency we tried was 690 Hz, double the 345. The sessions continued about every two weeks. By this time, she had virtually stopped using anti-biotics, the machine seemed to take their place.

In January of 1995, I was traveling through Seattle, and called Pete to see if he had learned anything new, and if there was a better way of treating Lyme. He gave me a write-up that he had done, and he also helped me wind a stronger 8.5mh coil. On January 21st of 1995, we tried a new frequency, 484. My wife felt awful after that treatment, she had a major Herxheimer. The treatments continued still about every two weeks until May 20th of 1995, and her pain was becoming less and less. Because of her diminishing pain, we started reducing the treatments as we would forget to do them. The next one was on June 25th, then August 6th, and then October 15th. We shouldn’t have spaced the treatments out so much, as the bacteria seemed to be coming back. We then did the next treatments on November 3rd, 12th, December 2nd, and December 18th using the 484 frequency. And then on December 30th, a major break through occurred. I used all 4 frequencies Pete had suggested, 864, 690, 610, and 484 Hz, each for 2 minutes in 7 locations on her body, just below her neck, her chest, belly, pelvis, knees, feet, and elbows. The next day, she said she felt good. Seemed strange that she would feel good, I expected a major herxheimer, but the opposite seemed to happen. To be sure that we killed the bugs, we didn’t want to slip like we did before, so she had the 484 frequency on January 15th 96, February 2nd, and February 21st. During those sessions, I also held the coil in my hand, and scanned it over her body with all four frequencies. I then had another occasion to talk to Pete, and he said that some had found another frequency that seemed to push them over the top, 790 hz. On March 17th, we tried this on my wife, and as Pete indicated it seemed to push her over the top. The next session was on May 18th and July 16th, both with 790. On October 5th, she was having some slight pain, so I used the 790 frequency again, and then scanned her with all 5 frequencies.

At the end of December 1996, my wife had come down with the flu, and a bit of a cold. I had my Bare unit working by this time, and thought I would try it to see if it would help her get over the flu. A strange thing happened, the rash that she originally had came back. We had always kept the coil away from her head, were the bacteria now being killed off there? The last treatment we did was on February 15th of 1997. At that time I used the coil machine on her with the 790 frequency using square waves. At the end of the session, I had her sit in front of the Bare machine, and ran all 5 Lyme frequencies through it. Since that time, she has not had need of a treatment, which is 4 months.

Her energy is back, she gets about 7 or 8 hours sleep each night. She walks every night,
