I don't think so .... I think most who use it are hesitant to post here. I talk to people regularly about how I did the photon treatment since there still aren't doctors here using it. Many I'm talking with are doing MUCH better with photons than they did with other treatments.
It's also not a stand-alone treatment. With Lyme, NOTHING is a stand alone treatment. It's never been a silver-bullet, so I think people are still looking for a single miracle cure. There isn't one. The body has to be healed and it takes time and effort.

You registered in 2003, so that probably covers the time when hyperthermia was a big topic. There are people who say it cured them, but they were not doing the same thing as in the German clinics. And one patient died, probably due to inadequate oversight.
You might do an archive search for previous discussions.

Alternative Treatments for Chronic Lyme Disease?
Alternative Treatments for Chronic Lyme Disease?
According to most LLD�s, antibiotics are the surest way to cure Lyme disease, chronic or otherwise.
For a wide variety of reasons, antibiotics are out of the question as a treatment, along with the inherent dangers involved with taking antibiotics long-term which has both forced the marketplace and medical science to find other solutions; but also opened a door to a creative process that may otherwise have been completely ignored.
Some of the alternatives have been covered extensively in other blog posts here and many other places as well, and the following procedures will most definitely be covered in more detail here in individual posts at a later date. The irony regarding many of these alternative treatments is that they could be more dangerous than the long term antibiotics. But the desperation that most of us feel year after year without the energy to function as a normal human pushes us to want to take greater and greater risks if it means regaining our lives.
The Rife Machine is named after a scientist who lived at the turn of the century and developed an instrument suggested to have destructive effects on different pathogenic organisms using sound. Various microorganisms have specific tolerances for radiation frequencies and can be destroyed if the frequency is high enough. The Rife Machine would be adjusted to different frequencies to specifically target the type of pathogen affecting patients. All species and molecules have unique resonant frequencies so nothing else except the target would be destroyed.
Unfortunately, most all of Dr. Rife�s work was destroyed by competitive medical peers and those who have tried to re-create his research have been black-balled � so much so that it is now illegal to build, market or sell �Rife� machines. It is very unfortunate that some unscrupulous marketing specialists earned a fortune selling �Rife machines� guaranteed to cure cancer, and he went to jail, and the term �Rife machine� is off-limits. Forgive me for saying that it may not be such a horrible thing because there are actually several different types of technology that are based on Dr. Rife�s original machine which was confusing to people who were ill � especially with Lyme fog.
Frequency Generator
The Rife Machine is basically a frequency instrument. Although the theories behind pathogen destruction through specific resonance frequencies are correct, there are certainly factors beyond the scope and limitation of the technology. Dealing with hundreds of trillions of frequencies cannot guarantee that the machine can successfully and accurately target present pathogens.
There are hundreds of trillions of resonant frequencies pertaining to various molecules and species, and Frequency Generators are usually adjusted within the 10-100 MHZ range. Some have reported that the instrument can cure cancer, Lyme, herpes, tuberculosis, typhoid, tetanus, influenza, spinal meningitis and polio, however, there are not any scientific peer-reviewed studies to support these claims.
Modulating polarity is one useful function of Frequency Generators which prevents bacteria and viruses from reproducing. It has successfully been used in products such as the ionic toothbrush that prevents decay and tartar. Polarity techniques are also very helpful for individuals that are considered more sensitive during treatment such as pregnant women and geriatric and pediatric patients.
NOTE:There are also lethal risks involved frequency generation that should be carefully considered with respect to immuno-compromised patients. Frequency generators can aggravate symptoms or even cause death without the support of a healthy immune system or if used improperly.
Multi-Wave Oscillators
A powerful Tesla Coil is the foundation of the Multi-Wave Oscillator which was created in the 1920s. The idea was to place patients between two round antennas that bombarded electromagnetic waves safely. The oscillator aim to eradicate destructive cells such as cancer, viruses, parasites, protozoa and bacteria. Most recently, this technology has been used to eradicate Lyme disease and many co-infections, however, there are not peer reviewed studies for the mainstream medical community to accept the Coil machine as a viable treatment. Even without the promise of a cure, frequently swelling and inflammation are reduced which offers immediate relief to a very painful condition.
EMEM Machines
�Square wave no negative offset� is the term used to describe the waveform that results when DC electricity is disrupted regularly. The resulting �pulsed� energy is run through EMEM machines that have the same effect of hopefully eradicating bacteria and other pathogens. The difference is that the pulsed energy is a whole lot safer to humans with no known side effects. The energy running at 20 up to 10,000 hertz are as safe as cellular phone signals but can be helpful to Lyme disease patients.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is the use of oxygen with pressure higher than the normal atmosphere for treatment of various medical conditions. In conjunction with its use, HBOT is normally applied in a hospital setting for treating a variety of conditions like tissue necrosis and non-healing wounds, anaerobic bacterial infection, decompression sickness, gas embolism, compartment syndrome, stroke, ischemia, anemia and chronic refractory osteomyelitis.
Medical doctors determined to find possible cures prescribed HBOT for the treatment of Lyme disease knowing that spirochetes hate oxygen, and hoping that the intense infusion of ozone would destroy the bacteria.
Ozone is less stable but more active than oxygen. Ozone therapy is then recommended to deliver oxygen back to tissues and cells needing it. It is the only known application that successfully provides oxygen to remote parts of the body that in effect, boosts the immune system and disease fighting agents of the body against Lyme disease.
Anaerobic Lyme bacteria also thrive in unoxygenated areas so increasing oxygen levels through ozone therapy can effectively destroy the pathogens and alleviate symptoms related to the illness. Ozone also increases arterial partial pressure to certain levels that may be intolerable to Lyme bacteria.
Hyperthermia
Hyperthermia, is perhaps the most exciting new Lyme treatment, which has been developed into a very safe treatment over years as a solution for certain types of cancer. (NOT to be confused with ICHT which was an illegal scam in Germany several years ago which cost over $20,000 per patient and was extremely dangerous � ICHT is no longer available as a treatment and the doctor in charge went to jail,)
Hyperthermia (also known as thermotherapy) is a process wherein body cells and tissues are exposed to high temperatures with the aim to disable and destroy malignant cells and pathogens. Hyperthermia has traditionally been used with other treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation quite successfully.
Hyperthermia basically makes dangerous cells and pathogens more vulnerable to radiation since radiation alone may not effectively destroy them. The process may also cause minor damage to healthy cells and tissues. Hyperthermia and radiation treatment are usually done one after another in a single-hour interval.
Due to the success of the procedures done thus far, other pathogenic conditions like Lyme disease are also being tested applying the same principles.
Whole-body hyperthermia (versus local or regional) covers the entire body when infection has spread throughout the whole body. There are a number of methods to raise body temperature such as thermal chambers with copper tubing circulating hot water, and/or application of hot water blankets to raise total body temperature with maximum control.
Patients are anesthetized or sedated as body temperature is increased to 107-108�F.
The process can take up to 4 hours depending on the mass of infection, with an anesthesiologist making sure that the organs remain in normal functioning condition. Additional hours are given to cool off the patient and then continuous observation is done for at least 12 hours until the patient is completely stable.
Hyperthermia is surprisingly safe considering such high heat. Tissues can usually tolerate heat up to 111�F but during hyperthermia, temperatures can rise to 113�F or more. The different properties of tissues located in varying regions of the body can also cause varied responses resulting to pain, discomfort, burns and blister. So there is risk of blood clots, bleeding and tissue swelling and other body temporary damage. It can also cause gastrointestinal upsets, headaches and vomiting.
Serious complications include cardiac problems and circulatory disorders, but for most of us with serious chronic Lyme disease, these side effects seem very acceptable given the alternative of potentially an entire lifetime of suffering.

Do You Have Low Body Temperature?
Do You Have Low Body Temperature?
During my major crash, before diagnosis with Lyme, my body ached constantly as though I had a temperature of 102.�F degrees, yet when I took my temp, it was rarely over 96.�F degrees. I bought 3 new thermometers thinking they must all be broken because one reading was as low as 93.�F degrees and the highest was 97.�F after a very long hot bath (after which I felt I would die of heart failure.)
As I went through the long trek from doctor to specialist, Maine to Boston, I never had one doctor consider my low temperature an indication of anything. The most prestigious infectious disease doctor in Boston actually derided me for even mentioning the low temps and said that it didn�t matter.
Well, imagine my surprise when I read the following by Dr. David Jernigan from the Hansa Center in Wichita Kansas (http://hansacenter.com/)
Cancer and Low Body Temperature
By Dr. David Jernigan of Hansa Center for Optimum Health
One of the very common findings I have noticed in cancer sufferers is a low body temperature or at least a very dysregulated distribution of temperature in the body. I am not here promoting the externally applied hyperthermia treatments that are being used to �kill cancer cells.�
I am not necessarily opposed to their use, but this article deals primarily with the importance of restoring and maintaining a normal core body temperature. This is true not just in cancer but in every degenerative disease of our day.
Your core body temperature is the temperature taken under the tongue. When human physiology books refer to the �normal� core body temperature it is presented as a range sometimes listed between 97.0-99.0�F .
Understand that the �Normal Range� for temperature or even the normal ranges in blood tests are based upon the average person of our day. That is why �normal� changes periodically, because as our average population continues to get sicker the Normal Ranges must be adjusted. So in this discussion I am speaking about what is an optimal core body temperature � 98.6-99.6�F.
Much emphasis is usually placed upon feverish conditions; however, a low body temperature is a much more sinister condition. Where a fever can be viewed as an active developmental and corrective process of the healthy body, a low body temperature can never be viewed as a normal or healthy condition, nor is it a mechanism for a learning or developmental process in the body. A low body temperature creates a happy home for viruses and chronic infections, and is a sign of degeneration and gradual cellular death.
Low body temperature is the plague of the 21st century. People with low body temperature have a weak reaction to even the most ideal medicines and therapies. As the body�s core temperature becomes cold, the energetic crystalline matrix experiences a systemic collapse as tissues condense and cellular tensegrity, the infrastructure of the intra and extracellular matrix, loses its structural conductivity and integrity.
The cooperative and collective intelligence of the human organism is short-circuited as the body temperature cools. As a result, all cellular functions decrease.
There is a decrease in the production of all hormones, neurotransmitters, and other body chemicals necessary for normal healthy balance.
As a result there is an increased susceptibility to infectious disease as temperature drops the acidity of the body increases and the normally predominantly negative polarity of the cells become more positively charged. I will go into the polarity issues in more detail later.
The colder the body becomes the more prone to depression and other psychological abnormalities and all degenerative illnesses of the body, mind and spirit.
Until the causes of the lowered temperature are addressed and corrected, the best that can be hoped for is only temporary or mild improvement of symptoms and a gradual but steady overall decline in health.
Viruses prefer and promote a cold environment and replicate at a much more rapid rate when the body is cold. Viruses are killed and further replication is impeded by maintaining a warm body. Some bacteria such as Lyme spirochetes also prefer and promote a cold environment and can remain in a chronic state as long as their cold environment is maintained. Therefore, in the interest of the prevention and treatment of any viral, bacterial, or chronic illness, this topic must be understood.
The ultimate body coldness is seen in death. When observing a corpse many clinical gems can be gleaned and correlated to degenerative states of human suffering. In death, the blood and lymph fluid of the body solidify and the body becomes stiff and cold. In the same way many chronic cold illnesses such as cancer, Lyme disease, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, diabetes, and heart disease, we see that the body becomes progressively colder. As the body cools, the electrical oscillations of the fluids in the body slow down and there is a shift in the body�s polarity which promotes infectious microbes and cancer.
We can see the same principle of what happens in the body by observing the same dynamics in a water molecule. When the electrical oscillations of a water molecule slows down it becomes a solid, ice, as we speed up a water molecule�s electrical oscillations it liquefies and ultimately becomes a vapor.
The colder a body becomes, the slower the electrical oscillatory rate and therefore the thicker, more viscous, or syrupy the body fluids become. The more viscous the fluids become the more difficult it is for the body to push the fluids through the body. The lymph fluids that are normally supposed to bathe the outsides of all of your cells become progressively stagnant as it is too thick to move efficiently.
Now, consider the fact that just like your skin is constantly dying and flaking off and being replaced, so it is that every cell in your body is in a constant state of dying and being replaced. Only now the cold, syrupy lymph fluid cannot wash the dead cellular debris away. As a result the body becomes a toxic waste dump!
Muscles normally have a high demand for energy. Due to the constant contraction and relaxation mechanism of muscle tissue, muscles assist in eliminating their own cellular waste products. In a cold body however, the liquidity of the fluids inside of the muscles is gone, and the muscles cannot move the toxins and cellular debris. The deeper you go into belly or center of the muscle, the more difficult it is to move the toxins. All muscular contraction grinds to a halt, like an engine with no lubricating oil. The belly of the muscle develops a knot that can be felt when massaging the muscle. This is the knotted, painful, muscle condition commonly known as �trigger points� of Fibromyalgia Syndrome, which is being diagnosed in millions of people every year.
If the low body temperature is allowed to persist and no therapies are applied, even in a palliative manner as in massages to move toxins manually out of the belly of the muscle, the condition follows that of the water molecule. The belly of the muscle, due to the increasing coldness and decreased muscular activity progressively over time reaches the point of zero electrical oscillations at which time the tissue solidifies in a calcified stone in the belly of the muscle.
Interesting research that supports this concept has been performed by Dr. Carolyn McMakin, D.C. using the electro-therapy called microcurrent. The microcurrent is applied through direct contact on these trigger points via vinyl/graphite gloves connected to the microcurrent machine. The trigger points virtually vanish under the gentle touch of the glove when applying the correct electrical frequency.
What may be happening here is that the stimulation of the muscle through microcurrent is externally increasing the electrical oscillatory rate of the thickened fluids in the muscle resulting in temporarily restoring the normal liquidity of the fluids allowing the muscles to once again contract and pump out the toxic accumulation. The results are somewhat temporary due to the fact that the underlying condition that created it in our scenario, the overall low body temperature, remains unchanged.
However, used in combination with various other corrective measures, this micro current therapy can speed healing in many cases. [Relief of Fibromyalgia Through Microcurrent Therapy by John W. Addington ImmuneSupport.com 7-11-2001]
To continue on with the other degenerative aspects going on in the body, we can once again see that the body is set up on electrical circuits all of which are interdependent and interconnected. One circuit in the body cannot go down without ultimately affecting the whole. Therefore, if the muscle is seizing up and becoming progressively rigid and solidified, what do you suppose the organ that is also on that same electrical circuit is doing? It is likely that to some degree it is also progressively seizing up and solidifying.
In the many miles of blood vessels, the cold thick blood is more difficult to push through the veins and arteries. Arteriosclerosis, the progressive hardening of the arteries, and the clogging of the blood vessels is manifesting the exact same problem that is being experienced by every tissue in the too cold body. Edema in the extremities is seen as the muscular walls of the blood vessels seize up and can no longer maintain tone and the fluids leaks out of the pores of the vessels.
I look at many older patients and some not so old who are experiencing all the signs and symptoms of death in the extremities. They are dying in their extremities first, from the feet and hands up to legs to the torso. To touch their feet is just like touching an icy, stiff, dead corpse. The foot is deathly whitish blue and etched in blue/black blood vessels from devitalized, stagnant blood.
The overcooling of peripheral blood returning from cold legs and feet causes depression of the temperature in the vital organs with slowing of metabolic processes, particularly in the brain and medullary centers. [Cotran R.S., Kumar V., Robbins S.L., Robbin�s Pathological Basis of Disease 4th ed. 1989 pp501.]
Death occurs when a vital organ reaches the point of being too cold. Your physician can name your disease, he can call it cancer, he can draw your blood and show you everything that is wrong with it, but he is simply describing the process I have just outlined. When the core temperature of the body is cold every organ, gland, and tissue is affected and becomes hypo-functional.
Hypo-functional means that there are fewer hormones, and less of every chemical involved with normal body and brain function. Even the psyche is affected leading to virtually any type of psychological problem, especially depression. How many people are told that they have psychological depression from a deficiency of a certain brain chemical?
Many!
Can you see that of course they are deficient in �happy� brain chemicals possibly due to the overcooling of the body?
It might be said that you are dying in direct proportion to the coldness of your body. Follow this logic: Cells degenerate and die in direct proportion to the depletion of oxygen.
Blood that is overcooled from a cold core temperature is too thick to efficiently carry oxygen and the lung vital capacity is reduced leading to shallow breathing. This means that the oxygen to carbon dioxide exchange rate in the lungs is minimal.
Now combine the degenerative effects of the oxygen deprivation and the cold temperature and the fact that all of this and the overgrowth of microbes promote an acidic environment and you have greatly accelerated cellular degeneration and the onset of life-threatening disease.
There is an optimum body temperature is which all chemical reactions in the human body need in order to maintain health�98.6� F. I can honestly say that I have never seen a new patient come into my clinic with a normal body temperature.
Just this week a 66 year old woman came in as a new patient with a temperature of 94.6! She is in dire straits for certain. She could not feel her feet and to touch her legs was like touching the legs of a corpse, the legs even looked dead and grey, streaked with blue/black veins of stagnant devitalized blood.
Even in classic hypothermia as seen in people stranded in blizzards, it is well known that the circulation of blood in the arms and legs is reduced dramatically, almost to zero, in order to provide protection and warmth to the vital organs.
These people will also cease to feel cold and will experience numbness, loss of coordination, mental confusion, and heart rhythm problems. It sounds like I am describing many elderly people, and some cancer sufferers doesn�t it?
One way to treat weather related hypothermia is to give the person warm sugar drinks. Sugar is a cheap, fast burning fuel for your body and therefore generates a lot of heat in the process. This may be why so many people suffering from lifestyle induced cold core temperature are plagued with sugar cravings.
Many of them consume copious amounts of sugar in the form of soda pops, chocolate, pastries, and various candies. It may be a craving that is driven by the body�s desire to generate fast heat to keep the body functioning. Sugar cravings should diminish as the core body temperature problems are resolved.
Keep in mind that the body has been too cold possibly since birth, due to suppressive medicines, vaccines, fever-reducers, heavy metal and chemical toxins, and energetically dead foods. The retraining and resetting of the body�s thermostat is just the beginning of healing the body of chronic illnesses. The normal body temperature must be held steady possibly for a year or more in some cases before the body can undo the damage of a lifetime of coldness.
Everyone can afford a simple thermometer. Track your temperature when you first awaken in the morning, before even getting out of bed. This reflects your core body temperature, when it is not being influenced by what you just ate, drank, or your activity level. Many of you will likely be surprised to see just how cold you already are. This is the result of generations of suppressive therapies and an imbalanced life.
You must save yourself.
Many doctors will undoubtedly say that you need to take a thyroid medication to bring up the body temperature; however this is the same mentality of taking a Tylenol for a headache. If you don�t believe me then ask anyone on the prescription thyroid medicines- what happens when they go off of the medication?
The body returns immediately to the previous cold condition. Definitely support the normal functioning of the thyroid, by detoxification, organic iodine, and nutritional support, but see the coldness for what it really is, a sign of multi-organ system breakdown, and longstanding or even generational imbalance.
Besides, it is really the hypothalamus that regulates your core body temperature, along with your degree of motivation and sex drive. The hypothalamus is actually �upstream� from your thyroid. It helps the pituitary regulate the thyroid.
The healthy body has daily temperature fluctuations (diurnal) with the coolest temperature in the early morning hours and the warmest being in the evening between 8-10 pm, after having rested for half and hour. Tracking of the difference between morning and evening temperature should reveal, in a healthy person a difference of at least 0.9� F (0.5� C).
People with a low body temperature and an overall degenerative condition will find that this temperature variation is minimal. Another unusual finding of dysregulated body temperature is that the evening is often colder than the morning reading.
The body�s best chance at long-term healing increases in direct proportion to the restoration of normal body temperature and its normal diurnal fluctuation.
You and your healthcare team must address your body from every direction and with every balancing tool available. You can never truly overcome this condition with pills.
Therapies must engage and reactivate and stimulate the internal thermostatic, rhythmical, metabolic, and nerve/sense aspects of your body, addressing the body, mind, and spirit.
So listen to your body.
Pain, temperature, skin discoloration�if we listen, take care of our body, then our bodies can take care of us.

Even if we cant afford it its nice to know at least German lymies are well looked after! A silver bullet maybe not but a lot better than any rife machine invented!

I think you should check with the german lyme people to get their take on it. As far as I know they are not getting cured any faster than we are.
