I have been using the rife machine for 2 weeks now and notice that my pain is much better I normally struggle when I try to get out of bed but it's getting easier everyu day..
I truelly believe it's helping. I got my machine for $400 no shipping from E-Bay and it's the best thing I have ever bought..
I think if you have had problems taking abx or you're taking them for a long time you should buy the book (When Antibiotics Fail lyme disease and rife machines) by Brian Rosner another Lymie told me about the book and after reading it wanted to try a Rife Machine. If anyone needs the mans name I got my machine from e-mail me for his e-mail address.
if your not getting better what do you have to lose

Kathy, That is such good news. I have been using various rife machines in my treatment after reading Bryan Rosners book. He makes an excellent argument for using rife machines, and has obtained remission himself via rife treatments.
If I remember correctly -- and please excuse me as I am herxing from a rife session last night - you have an EMEN3. I have the EMEN3D and also the magpulser.

Rifing definitely has worked in my case! I was super sick until I started rifing. After many long herxes, I am seeing light at the end of the tunnel.

Rifing has helped me too. I stopped abx last Christmas because I was feeling so toxic.
My husband built me an EMEM7 and it sure works. I also bought a steam/sauna tent with oxygen/ozone pumped into the tent and it helps tremendously with detoxing.

My rife machine is a SFG-2000 built by Instek. Designed by Bob Beck comes with a frequency amp 10 digit keypad Push button frequency Copper hand held cylinders A pair of copper foot pads OVER 60 VOLTS WHICH I HEARD IT SURPOSED TO BE GOOD? DOES ANYONE KNOW WHY WHEN YOU HOLD THE CYLINDERS THE FREQUENCY SEEMS TO REALLY ZAP YOU??? I MYSELF THINK RIFE MACHINES ARE THE BEST TREATMENTS YOU CAN DO FOR LYME. I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER WHEN I USE IT, IT DOES WORK I PAID $400 FOR MINE DOES THAT SEEM REASONABLE?

I like the fact that I don't have to touch my machine. Hands free!

I have an EMEM3D from rife labs that came with foot pads & hand held device to hook up. I am too chicken to use the contact things that came with it so I just sit in front of the tubes.
Its great to hear its working for you!!
Do you feel zapped when you use you contact deives?

Kathy,
I am not familiar with the brand Rife machine you have but the zap comes from using audio frequencies without an RF carrier frequency. Your machine apparently does not use a carrier frequency.
The RF carrier wave prevents the electricity from having the skin effect in which the path of least resistance is across the skin and the nerves.
Both methods work and some people can be sensitive to RF frequencies so just keep on doing what is working for you. You can turn the power down a little to prevent the zaps.
Glad to hear you are improving. It has helped my wife get back to near normal.

My wife was getting very ill with the last symptoms before our treatment being very bad joint pain along with some more minor symptoms. She certainly was not nearly as bad as some as we had been monitoring her symptoms since the tick bite. Doctors did not believe she had Lyme so we were on our own. In retrospect, that turned out to be a stroke of luck. But, I was very angry at the time.
We used Samento and Cumanda which helped much in the beginning. But, like most other antibiotics the Lyme just went dormant until better conditions prevailed. We knocked down the bacterial load using these two antibiotics. But seemed to be stuck with no more improvements and no more herxing. So, I woud say she was half way recovered from the two natural antibiotics.
We started using Rife after a long investigation to find out if it was for real or some kind of snake oil type treatment. There simply was too much evidence of its validity to classify it as a "quack device".
We intended to rotate with Rife, Samento and Cumanda but the Rife worked so well we dropped the other treatments.
Now the total sum of treatment program consists of the following:
Rife treatments when symptoms present themselves or two weeks go by, whichever comes first.
Daily multivitamins.
Daily dose of Curcummin and Ginger for absorbtion of vitamins and minerals and antiinflammatory properties.
Pretty simple and it is working well for her with no side effects noted.
Best Regards

Glad your Rife machine is helping. I can't wait to get mine!!! I would also like to get a magpulser too.

I must say, though I am by nature a skeptic, I have a friend who had great results from Rife. I shall definitely look into it if I have to do Lyme treatment again. (I beat it this time, but it was an incredible struggle, and the better I get, the more my risk of getting it again increases, since I am outdoors more. (so far I haven't signed up for this year's trip to Brigantine, though!...) DaveS

Glad to hear you have beat it. I hope you are rid of it for good. It is nice to hear from people who are completely well. Gives hope to the rest of us.
Keep the ticks away!

Most all aspects of the disease get better from my experience. But, each individual responds in a different manner and time frame. My wife recovered to almost normal in about a year. In her case she caught it fairly early so her immune system was still working well. She also is fairly young and healthy otherwise.
I am guessing that this is a faster than normal recovery. There was some tough Herxing on the way but it was well worth it.

The thing that impresses me is that I have read many people say they tried rife because they knew one other person who was helped by it . There are TOO Many people here who emphatically belive rife is effective to discount their opinions . I will take healing ( or even improvement ) any way I can legally get it .
To me the whole concept sounded hokey , but the many positive testimionies of honest sick people are very compelling . As my neurologist used to say " If you want to know if something works , ASK THE PATIENTS " ( Kenneth Lazarus , MD , PHD Fayeeteville, GA) .

Keep on going, it may eventually get tougher but make sure you hang in there because the rewards are well worth it.
Since we are counting, I've been off antibiotics for 20 months and symptom free for the last few. I used to be afraid to count but now I'm convinced and I feel better than I felt before I relapsed.
Slow and steady wins the race!
All My Best, Scott

Hey, Can riffing cause thrush on tonsils and down throat? Not tongue?
After using home made zapper for couple weeks, got sinus infection and bronchitis. Did not go to doctor.
Instead flushed sinuses with saline and garled with listerine twice daily. Got sicker with sore throat,swollen tonsils,white stuff on tonsils and down throat.
Is it from zapper?

For those at least slightly technically inclined and on a tight budget...
You can buy a common function generator off ebay and use it as a contact device. The only drawback is that you cannot program in a sequence of frequencies to run automatically. The frequency needs to be changed manually by turning a knob in most cases.
My personal favorite is the HP 3310A or B model. It is very compact, and it covers a wide frequency range up to 5mhz. That is far beyond what most of the little contact type Rife machines can do. It is analog and lacks a digital readout, but is of high quality and very accurate. (You can connect frequency counter if you need one.)
It is also very simple to use. I actually prefer being able to change frequencies just by turning a big knob instead of having to program something.
What I especially like about the 3310 is that it has very strong output and the waveforms to not deteriorate under load. You will find them on eBay now and then, usually for under $100.
That's my Rife machine tip of the day.

Jennifer, you can find used ones on E-bay but not very often. I bought mine from a member of the Yahoo Lyme Rife group. Here is a link to a web site that has used Rife equipment. Not much there now but may be worth watching. They are a popular machine so it can be difficult to find a used one.
Spookydew, I have never used a zapper but my understanding is they only use one or two frequencies and have very limited penetration due to the low power. The theory is that they can clean the blood of bacteria or viruses. I am not sure how well they actually work but I do not think it could cause Thrush or any other condition. It really is limited because in order to disable most bacteria or viruses you need a specific frequency to do it. Odds are it is not one produced by the zapper.
Good tip James. Contact Rife devices sold as such are just a function generator and maybe an amp that is particularly well suited to be used for this purpose. You pay more for the options and convenience but the basic principle works with any decent function generator. The trouble is knowing which one is good enough for this purpose. James has solved that problem.

I received my Rife machine today!! I am so excited. It's a EMEM 5A. I only had time to look at it for a minute. I sure hope I can figure out how to use it.

aiden424 : We are excited for you . I hope the first few months will not be too rough , but is definitely encouraging to read posts by sick folks who think it really works. Will you keep us updated on the experience you have with it? We will be curious to hear the follow up. Who did you buy from? Was it expensive ?
