Have been doing some Rife research since not having too much success and limited ability to tolerate abx.
I have a metal rod in my back from scoliosis correction surgery when I was a kid.
Am I reading right that I can't Rife due to the implant?

Good question. Now you've got me wondering about metal clips in my breasts from surgery and biopsy, and if I could still Rife, too.
Hope you get some answers.

I'm thinking from what I'm reading that it may just be the contact machines that people with implants can't use.
I've found some links, but it's difficult to find specific info. or to know what's reliable info. I've only seen a blurb here an there.
Anyone?

- Where do you read that?
Now, I'm not sure, but I think it's more a pacemaker that would be problem due to the radio frequency.
Rife does not cause heat, it's not going to heat up a metal implant and I don't think you'll pick up radio stations from Russia . . . I just wonder where you are reading that - from a well-researched author in a particular book?
I'd love to see that so as to best expand my knowledge base in this area - but - my guess (and hope) is that it was just a comment in passing by someone not sure.
How to confirm, that? Maybe someone here will come along (D Bergy would probably know).
Do you have Bryan Rosner's rife book? Can you look in there?
Email Bryan, himself.
Can you post a question on a rife bulletin board? If someone gives you an answer, can you ask their source, just to be sure either way?

If you can't find it in his book, I'm sure you can find an email through this:
Book: Lyme Disease and Rife Machines by Bryan Rosner

I have his Top 10 Treatments book, but not the Rife book. I'm hoping to pick up a copy of it soon.
I found one of the Rife Yahoo groups, didn't apply yet and right in their intro section in all caps it says this
"IT IS DANGEROUS TO USE THEM IF YOU ARE PREGNANT OR HAVE A PACEMAKER OR ANY OTHER METAL OR SYNTHETIC PARTS IN YOUR BODY"
Thanks for the link, I'll poke around some more and come back with what I find.

- Oh - I didn't see your post above when I was composing this one. I need a few minutes to read your last post and then may come back and edit mine below.

Okay - I processed your last statement. You said that notice was posted at a Yahoo board. WHO wrote it?
You said it was in their intro section. So, was it written by the person who designed the site or by a poster?
If it was at the top, it would seem an "official" caution, indeed. I just always like to check several top sources and be sure of exactly who said what.
--------
I just looked in Rosner's rife book index and searched for: contraindications; implant; metal; pacemaker. No listing in the index. That surprised me. It may still be in the book but just didn't make the index. I don't have the endurance now to look through the book but if you go back to his site, I'm sure there is a way to contact him.
Get just one post of his, click on his name and send him a PM with your question.
Normally, I'd suggest reading back through someone's posting history before contacting them but I don't recall his mentioning a metal implant question before - and I do bet he'll know. He's very well read in this area.

Let us know what you find out, OK?
Bryan's Rife book is very good.

I would venture to say that metal in the body is not going to be a problem. If you have a pacemaker I would not try it,as the frequencies could interfere with the operation, but a metal implant would not stop me from trying it.
Put it this way. You use a cell phone walk around hundreds of wireless internet frequencies, and these are not causing a problem. I cannot think of a good reason that a low powered Rife type device is going to harm anything.
I think I would avoid a Doug Coil because of the strong magnetic field, but I doubt an EMEM would have any negative effect. The level of power is so low, and there is no real possibility of heating anything.
The Mercury fillings in my teeth are much the same thing as any other implant. I have had no problem with them.
A metal Heart Stent? No do not use it just because it is in a critical area. A pin in my knee, I would not worry about it.
Just my opinion.
