Has anyone rifed along with taking Rifampin?

LLMDs say that the co-infections can "cover up" Lyme, which seems to be true based on my experience: my rife machine hasn't been doing anything for me lately but since being on Rifampin it seems to be working and causing herxes again. The herxes also seem to be similar to the rifampin herxes, so maybe it is acting synergistically with rifampin.

I am currently taking 600 mg of Rifampin twice a day and rifing every 10 days for lyme. I seem to be doing fine with this. Feel better than I have in a long time.

Rene, are you taking 300mg of Rifampin 2x a day or 600mg 2x per day (1200 total?)
