I've been reading through a lot of posts about alternative treatments.
I'm having a hard time understanding some of the physical devices, which are mentioned, though.
Can someone please explain to me what these are, as well as their similarities and differences with one another, plus refer me to some websites, where I can see what they look like, as well as read more information about them?
Don't worry about the rife machine though, as I already have one, except for its similarities and differences with the others.
They are, as follows:
Rife
Bioresonance
Cold Laser
Laser Wand
Thank you, so much, to anyone, who can help make my understanding of them much more clear!

Jennie, there are so many different type rife machines. Tube, pad types, etc. Mine it called a light & sound machine. They are just all over the place with there being so many different manufactures. I've used a rife machine for 4 yrs, so I'm fairly familiar with them. Plus I frequent Bryan's (skyking) yahoo group lyme & rife.
Bioresonace is more like a lower frequency microcurrent type machine. I believe?
Don't know much about cold laser and laser wands other than what I have read here at lymenet & lyme & rife group.
Do you know how to do a search on this site? Search buttom up on this page. Click and it will take you to a page to fill out. Put in word like bioresonace. Under forum put medical. Any date and any poster.
If all is working properly you will find any post with that word from the last several years.

I know more about Rife than anything else. But I will take a crack at it.
Bioresonance involves microcurrent therapy more so than Rife although the effect may also occur by accident with Rife.
I have no personal experience with microcurrent therapy, but some people I know who are not easily fooled seem to think it is useful for some conditions. Some chiropracters use these devices. My son did have treatment with a Bicom device. It was used both as a diagnostic tool and for treatment. It did not seem to do much for him. In fairness, he has an incurable disease, so it is not a very fair test of the machine. I know others that have resolved Shingles with use of a microcurrent device.
The cold laser is just another form of acupuncture. I know a Chiropractor that uses traditional acupuncture for chronic pain relief. He says it is effective but it does not last for a long period of time.
The laser wand seems to me to be a questionable item at best. I do not place a lot of stock in any kind of crystal therapy. The explanations offered for these type of things seem rather unconvincing to me. But, I will admit I have never tested it out either.

As far as the rife machine I have, it's a doug coil.
I read some on the yahoo group too and will probably do so, even more, once I get mine all hooked up, as I just got it, not too long ago!
How is the rife therapy working for you?
Four years is a long time to use it! Are you well now?
I'm not real sure about the bioresonance either, but I think the machine is expensive and you have to do it at a practitioner's office, like a naturopath or chiropractor.
I'd love to know more about the cold laser and laser wands than what's here, as if they are really helpful, I would consider either using or purchasing either one or both of them from somewhere.
There's just not a lot of information about them here, which I can fully understand!
I've done an internet search for them, but, of course, a company isn't going to tell you the same thing, as a user!
Thank you for the searching advice here!
Yes, I've did that pretty extensively here, but I'm still not real clear on some things about the items I mentioned in the topic of my post.
It's all just so new to me and so much is out there!
I am learning, but it is slow and sometimes hard for me to understand some things.
Thanks for your help! I truly appreciate it!
Love, Light, & Health, Jennie

Thanks for the bioresonance information and explanation!
I'm so sorry to hear about your son!
Bless him and you both!
I didn't know that about cold laser! Thanks for filling me in on that!
Thanks for the laser wand opinion! They seem questionable to me too, but, like you, I, must admit, I've never even tried one, but have been thinking about it, just to see what, if anything, it might do for me.
For all of them, does what you said mean they're expensive units, which would be too expensive to purchase for home use, thus must be done through a practitioner, like a naturopath or chiropractor?
Alternative therapies are not really popular in the area of the country I live in, which forces me to either have to travel a pretty good distance to try them out or find a way to purchase them and hope I don't end up wasting my money, thus my reason for this post.
Love, Light, & Health, Jennie

The microcurrent units are quite expensive. That is why most people do not have them.
I really do not know the cost of the other items. I would research them thoroughly before buying any of them.
Unfortunately, the alternative medicine arena has plenty of worthless treatments. I usually try to find someone who has experience in a particular area and they can usually tell you what is worth pursuing.

IMO four years isn't long, when you are seeing improvement. I will continue to use my machine for many things, not just freqencies for lyme & co.
I don't use the "cure" word, because I haven't personally experienced it myself. Rife enabled me to get off the abx and start a long road to better days. I am one person that I know without a doubt abx wasn't and never would be of help to me. In fact because I've lived it, I can say (abx) were doing quite the opposite for me.
Well, let me say this....in the early part of abx treatment there was a period for about 1 yr that abx was keeping me functioning, just barely. Those days were waxing and waning of long list of symptoms. I was on abx for over 3 yrs.
I found the road to better hours, days didn't happen with a rife machine until at least the 6-7 months after I started using freqs. Then there was still some rough hours and days again. I did many many more protocols besides rife. I'm not going to say that was an easy road at that point either.
I found it to be a process and big changes in many ways. Not symptom free yet, but that's why I like this signature attached below.

Thank you, very much, for sharing your, rife and road to feeling better, experiences, with me!
I, truly, appreciate it!
I'm entering an area, with rife, which I don't know as much about, as others, but I'm willing to learn!
Like you, though, antibiotics have given me, a lot of, problems, so I'm looking for, other, things to, hopefully, put me onto a path of better days!
It's a long, hard journey, back to feeling better, for all of us, but we, just, have to hang tough and stick it out, even though it's easier said, than done!
The only other choice we have is to stay sick or, most likely, get, even, sicker, which is a road, I'd prefer to, at least, try to avoid, if, at all, possible!
Yeah, I really like your signature line too!
Great choice!
Love, Light, & Health, Jennie
