I am just curious.... I have heard that it is safe to use during pregnancy, and supposedly a lot safer than antibiotics. I am not pregnant, but just considering all natural options for treatment during pregnancy in the future (If i never get over this).
Thanks,

I would not use frequency treatments during pregnancy. It is experimental, and I think it is a bad idea to experiment in this way.
Frequency treatments are not what I would define as a natural treatment. It is generally safe going by user reports of adults. A developing fetus is going through a delicate process with plenty that can go wrong under the best of circumstances.
I would not want to disturb that process any more than necessary with drugs, frequency treatments or whatever.

no and no again. Besides that you need to stay away from and avoid EMF/RF exposure whether pregnant or not.

So GiGi do you not recommend rifing at all in general?
What do people do during pregnancy? I don't think antibiotics will be an option for me, since I don't believe in taking them....Makes it difficult.

Dr K mentioned taking samento and noni during pregnancy even though both are contraindicated.. I talked about this in an earlier post if you do a search..

- I agree with others - and all the makers of rife machines - that it is not safe to rife during pregnancy. There is just so much to consider, as others have pointed out.
Add to that, the toxicity issue. Toxicity is a major concern during pregnancy, anyway. It can jeopardize both mother and developiong fetus. Just Google: toxicity, pregnancy
This is why magnesium is so very important during pregnancy, too.
But rifing can add to the toxicity level many fold as when spirochetes are "attacked" they spew out even more toxins that can overload the body.
When the spirochetes are "attacked" they also let go of heavy metals they had been holding onto.
So more of that toxic waste is circulating and could harm the fetus. Very special methods to deal with that are required by anyone using rife but, for a pregnant woman, that is more complicated.
Especially considering pregnancy . . .
when considering herbal / nutritional / adjunct methods:
if at all possible - because each person & each case is different - it's best to consult with an ILADS-educated LL (lyme literate) doctor who has completed four years of post-graduate medical education in the field of herbal and nutritional medicine -
- and someone who is current with ILADS' research & presentations, past and present.
Many LL NDs incorporate antibiotics (depending upon the licensing laws in their state). Some LLMDs and LL NDs have good working relationships.
When possible, it's great to have both a LLMD and LL ND and even better when they have a long-standing professional relationship.
Integrative / Holistic M.D., etc. (Be aware that those in this category can have various levels of formal herbal &/or nutritional education, perhaps even just a short course. Do ask first.)
Links to many articles and books by holistic-minded LL doctors of various degrees who all have this basic approach in common:
Understanding of the importance of addressing the infection(s) fully head-on with specific measures from all corners of medicine;
knowing which supplements have direct impact, which are only support and which are both.
You can compare and contrast many approaches.
