So ... we started Rife treatments for Lyme just yesterday. "How?" you might ask ...
Well, after a lot or research ... both books and forums ... I decided on the NoRiftRife program would be a good start. Am also checking out the Frex16 program. Both have a regimen of frequencies already programed. Bought NoRiftRife and built ("built" sounds intimidating ... it's not) the system: PC (laptop), amplifier (Pyle PCAU44 ... 2x120W), the electrodes (1" copper-pipe handhelds) and the leads (one of which I had: the sound lead from PC to amp, the other from amp to CU handhelds I put together).
First session was 1-minute per frequency just to check any herxing, which was there but minimal. Next, scheduled for Wednesday this coming week, will be at 2-minutes per frequency and next will be three days later at 3-minutes, possibly on the way to 5-minutes.
I'll keep posting the progress including actual session times, any herxing and the (hopefully) results (which we anticipate to be totally positive).
Overall we are pleased with the results from the first session (yeah, I know ... perhaps a bit optimistic). By "pleased" I mean that there was some herx reaction (which would indicate that something happened, anyway) but nothing extreme: headache, some skin irritation, minor muscle aching in the lower legs and a bit of fatigue beyond the usual amount since Lyme has taken hold. A good, solid three hour nap afterwards pretty much took care of all of that.
And now I'm off to a celebratory latteccino ...

Certainly can't come to any conclusions after only one session ... or even after just a couple more. I kinda think it will take at least several more sessions ... as in two or three months of twice-weekly treatments ... to make any sort of judgment as to it's effectiveness. Our LLMD seems to think that it might help and, at the very least, certainly can't hurt. And if herxing at any level is any indicator of effectiveness, the first session had some sort of impact.
NoRiftRife, as I perceive it, is simply a software program that generates the proper frequencies based on the affliction being treated which then pass through the amplifier to the electrodes (handheld). Pretty simple, actually, and is mechanically the same as other systems. For a very different, more economic cost ...
In any case, I'll keep posting the results and am certainly open to alternatives if it seems that NoRiftRife is not having any effect after a couple of months ...

The laptop I'm am using is an HP dv7 and the best I can find out, the sound system is totally capable and accurate to handle the frequencies needed for Rife.
Yes, the amp is also crucial and this one has the power ... at 2x120 (that's peak, of course) ... to due the job. Chose not use the entertainment amplifier 'cuz 1) I really don't think that, even at a supposed 50W per channel, it has the power and 2) it would mean taking it offline (chuckle).
We decide to change the schedule and have the second session this afternoon rather than Wednesday ... and will be upping the time to 2-minutes. Yeah, I know: others say that anything less than 3-minutes (and preferably should be a 5-minute minimum) wouldn't be adequate to do anything. We did, however, have some minor herxing with the first session and kinda conclude that (again based on other folks experience) any herxing would indicate some sort of results even though they were minor.
More later ...
PS: Those times, of course, are per frequency.

Opted for early this morning for the second treatment ... just too much going on (boiler guys for a fix-it in the middle of Winter, clearing snow and some wood-chopping yesterday afternoon).
So, as I said previously, upped the time to 2-minutes on the way to 3-minutes and then 5-minutes if there aren't any unusual herxing effects. I know this seems a bit weak, but don't want to push it.
A I said before, yesterday/last evening there were simply some flu-like symptoms which cleared up after a 3-hour nap. We'll see what happens this time. I'll let ya know ...
PS: Thought to move this to start fresh thread but don't know how to move it and not sure if it's necessary or s'posed to be but it may be since I kinda jumped into the middle of this one (well, not the middle ... sorta at the end ... so far) and yada, yada, yada ...
***** ***** *****
Okay then ... that was quick. Reaction to this morning's Rife session were almost immediate.
Those ol' flu-like symptoms: not a headache per se, but more like just pressure with some ringing in the ears along with that stuffy-head feeling. Some muscle ... not spasms exactly, more like twitching, and general body aching with immediate fatigue.
Again, a retreat to the bed for a 4-hour nap. Things were better after waking ... everything still there but minimally.
Another session in the morning early ... this time at 5-minutes ...

Another session this morning ... #3 at 3-minutes. Didn't yesterday because of light dizziness at times and heavy fatigue.
Today's session went well ... what else. Not much of a load at 3-minutes but fatigue set in right away and it's off for a nap ... probably 3-hours or so. No other reactions to this point ... we'll see what happens later in the day.
Sunday will be the next session with the time being upped to 5-minutes ... probably the last increase for the moment. Kinda expect the reaction just might be a bit more than the beginning sessions.
This setup seems to be doing something anyway ... must wait a bit to be certain. Very much aware that this will a relatively long process and am somewhat prepared for that.
More later ...
