You are asking a very difficult question, since there are so many unknowns. But here is my shot at it:

First, I would not rife a 3 year old. We have a 17 year old and do not use rife with him. We use just the standard abx treatments. Young people have a lot of cell division going on, do we know how the DNA during division responds to these fields? Do we want to risk a problem?

2nd, I would not mix rife and abx. Personally I feel it screws wp my rifing. I have been rifing without abx for almost 2 years now and can control my symptoms fairly well. If I bring abx in to the mix, I have symptom issues, so now I do not mix. What has been your experience with rife and abx? Has it helped you?

3rd, If I had to use rife with a child, I would use one of the gentler methods, like a raybeam, but not a contact device for a doug coil. What type of machine do you have/use?

4th, I would not use any frequencies less than 300 htz on child. Our bodies use freqencies from 1-40 hertz, so we don't want to fry anything. I'd stay above 300 hertz to be save.

Just my opinions, this is not medical advice of course.

He started abx in Dec.04, started PICC line in Jan.05, and still currently on it. He did 2 1/2 months of IV rocephin, with little improvement.

Doc then switched to IV zithromax, and mepron. He herxed fairly well for 3 weeks, but the week off of mepron, you could see a noticeable improvement.

Doc replaced the mepron with plaquenil, and artemisinin, but continued the IV zith. He's still improving. He's even talking about going back to school next week !
He's been out since Nov. 04.

30-45 days ago, I thought he would never get better, and I too was willing to try anything. Maybe your LLMD can change his meds, or start babs treatment ? Sure did the trick for my son.

A month ago he was on a 50mg duragesic patch, and percocet as needed for pain. He hasn't taken a pain pill in 3 days. Frankly, our LLMD is amazed at the progress he's made in a relatively short time. Youth is a wonderful thing.

Sounds like your child had gotten some early Central Nervous System involvement, as mine did. Makes their symptoms much worse, and more difficult to treat.

I know what it feels like to see your child in pain, and they don't seem to be getting any better. You're desperate for anything that will help them. Check with your LLMD for pain meds, and meds for sleep. I did it with my son. People that need the medication rarely ever get addicted.

What meds is your child currently on ? Have they tried anything different ? If you'd like to discuss it privately, feel free to e-mail me. Hang in there, I had major doubts as well, but they do get better !
 

Stay the course, 4 months is nothing in fighting Lyme. If you are not seeing improvements then ask your doctor to try a different abx combination. Chronic Lyme often require 2 years of abx. Fighting lyme is not a short term battle.

Regarding the KMT22, I just bought one myself and it is a gentle treatment. So if you felt compelled to use a electronic treatment, this would probably one of the safer avenues.
