So I went ahead and ordered an EMEM machine. Have Lyme an Rife book on order. My husband thinks I am crazy. My friend's father who is brilliant and a renowned surgeon who knows nothing of Rife has said he predicts one day all illness will be cured by electromagnetic therapy. I hope he is right.
I am curious about what the Lyme literate doctors say about Rife since I can't afford to go see one. Have any of you asked?

Doctors are not allowed to bring it up. If you ask, they are allowed to share with you their opinions or experiences of patients who have used rife.
It is a fascinating technology.
[edited to add:
I spoke with one LLMD who says he has many patients who have benefited from RIFE.
about your husband thinking you are crazy. Don't accept that.
You are educating yourself and willing to find a safer way to get better. While many get better with antibiotics, not everyone does. And they are very hard on the liver. VERY hard.
The infection is, of course, devastating, too, so medicines seem the better approach. But RIFE may well be the ticket for many.
I simply would not even accept or acknowledge criticism about this from others. If they want to read all the research and then discuss their thoughts, great. Otherwise, they have no basis for an opinion.

Yes, and he said Yes. Posted by maureen2174 (Member # 11471) on :
Yes, "off the record" and only after I brought it up.
The quote was "If I had the last rife machine and someone offered me 2 million dollars, I wouldn't part with it"
Good luck- I am using a doug coil machine and waiting for an EMEM machine too.

My old LLMD, (LymeToo's llmd as well) stated that some of his patients have ditched him and turned to rifing with good results.

Thanks for the feedback. Have really not heard anything but good about this therapy. Have you?
Posted by feelfit (Member # 12770) on :
Yes. from LLMD and PCP that is why I started researching and have also ordered a Dan machine.
thanks to TuTu as well for giving me the info on Dan.

My LLMD said, when I brought it up, that he has seen better results with herbs.
Personally, I don't think rife is a bad idea ... just passing on what my LLMD said.
Posted by Blackstone (Member # 9453) on :
The LLMDs I've spoken with said they've seen patients that fall into 3 categories with regards to rife
1. Patients who claim it helps and seem to genuinely be on an up-slope towards improvement 2. Patients who claim it does nothing after they've tried, except lighten their wallet 3. Patients who seem to have an "initial period" of it helping, followed by a resurgence of symptoms. There's always an "explanation" for this, but none more plausible than the placebo effect.
My views? If you can afford it, go ahead. However, some rife users believe that it won't work as long as you are on "conventional" treatments like antibiotics. This is a dangerous school of thought in my view. If you want to add Rife to see if it helps you, by all means. However, don't give up other modalities of treatment that the methodology is proven.

I would be grateful if people would PM me and let me know which LLMD's said what about Rife. I'm using Rife therapy soon myself. I have an EMEM3D2 machines.

Hi Pauline, I am still seeing my LLMD and doing the IV-Silver + C or Peroxide (not sure about doing Peroxide - I need to read up on it).
Our Rife arrived two weeks ago. Have used it 4 times. Used the Candida setting for 5 min. + a couple of 3 min. settings. Herxed on it - for the Candida I am sure.
Next week I will Rife for Lyme - 5 min. and for Lyme hatchlings+eggs.
Am trying to find a way to attend the Seattle Rife Convention in October.
Only three more weeks left on the two month protocol for IV-Silver. Then I'll switch to Homeopathy ~ finances getting slim.
We have a GB-4000 and I read good things about the Doug Coil. One day I hope to give it a try also.
Posted by adamm (Member # 11910) on :
How much do these machines cost, generally?
Posted by amk33 (Member # 13206) on :
My LLMD is totally against it. She said that it could seriously F*** you up.
But, I ordered one anyway, because I've only read positive reports from actual users, and, it just makes sense to me.
The Dan Emem machine is about $500, the Doug coil machine from John is about $1600, although others sell the Doug coil for over $2000. These two people who are building affordable machines with not much profit have a wait list, however. So, I'm waiting a couple of months for mine.
Posted by Pauline (Member # 10000) on :
amk33, did your LLMD elaborate on this? I wonder how it could mess you up. Have not read anything negative...
Posted by SickRI (Member # 16803) on :
What is RIFE? I don't know anything about it.
Posted by amk33 (Member # 13206) on :
Not really. She said something about a spirochete having a charge and adding rife could damage your cells. I'm not really sure what she meant, but to me, the fact that it has a charge kind of proves that electromagnetic therapy would be effective against it.
Posted by Pauline (Member # 10000) on :
SickRI - it's a machine that generates electromagnetic waves and reportedly kills bacteria, viruses, yeast etc...
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Didn't Gigi say if you want to use a Rife you should be "mopping up" at the same time. Maybe that is why it helps some people more than others.
I would think you would need to work on detoxing if you are going to be killing bugs.

I think part of the problem with those who do poorly can stem from lack of homework or lack of sensible self-care.
Rife is to be respected and if used too much can be very dangerous. Mine says nor more than a certain number of minutes every 12 days. Go over that and liver damage can happen.
But, there will always have people who will ignore the instructions and charge gung-ho or think they are smarter than the guidelines.
You also may have some rifing as per instructions and then they go and have a beer - but blame the ill effects on the rife.
So, you have to figure that into the mix.
Still, even following instructions and with the best self-care not everyone will have the same effects as there may be various infections going on - and the mercury mop-up is vital.
Rosner's book ("When antibiotics fail . . .") outlines much about this and WHY.
Anyone who rifes without doing all the homework can put themself at risk.
I've had my EMEM5 for while but only used it twice. I need to do more homework about the mop up and it's just too much reading for me.
Also, babesia needs to be addressed first, if present. So, I worked on that.
The EMEM5 also has a fan that is very loud to me. Apparently, I'm the only one who has ever commented on the noise, though.
All things considered, from what I've read and two 2 LLMDs whom I asked about it, I look forward to getting to a place where I've done the homework and am ready to use it.
