Has anyone used this device for chronic Lyme? Is it really worth of trying? Is it better than other rife machines - B3?

I am interested in this also.
Think Gigi wrote something about it but I couldn't find that thread.

Here are more of my notes on the KMT (Klinghardt Matrix Therapy).
The KMT is a series of FDA approved instruments used for pain control. I used these devices already a number of years ago. For those who do not know me, please know that I am well and very cured for several years now from a horrific Lyme infection and major dental infections, which made me totally dysfunctional, semi-paralyzed and held me in a severe brainfog for a long time (until I met my doctor). My husband is also beating all records when it comes to an 80-year old who at one time got only around in a wheelchair, walker sometimes, and by my pulling him on the floor from one room to the other in the house. This is all in the past and we attribute part of our well being to KMT. Our doctor developed an off-label instrument applying this sophisticated technology to patients with neurological and neurodegenerative disorders, including Borrelia and co-infections that most of you are familiar with, but also the many other infections which many Lyme sufferers carry (often unknown). I had not heard of many other co-infections/pathogens that the KMT addresses (bacteria, viruses, parasites, retroviruses, fungi, mold, etc.). I knew that I tested positive with ART for many of them and that I had to be treated to eliminate the overgrowth before they were going to take me over completely. Superimposed on the pain-relieving frequencies are the so-called "microbial inhibition frequencies', which are proprietary harmonious frequency patterns published and obtained from a wide variety of scientific papers and resources. The frequencies of the KMT are different from the commonly used Rife frequencies in the EM or B3 or other devices. The energy delivery is very different from all other Rife instruments. It is neither a TENS nor a Rife.
Microcurrent is gentle and non-invasive. The application does not result in killing, but has a rather wide variety of other effects: The current entrains the immune system to recognize the pathogens. The pathogens are inhibited in their metabolic and reproductive activity. They will quit having babies!!!!!!!!! The selected wave lengths increase the medication uptake in the body area where the targeted microbes actually live, not in other unrelated areas. The instrument also uses pulsed subfrequencies that trigger a specific pathogen and toxic-metal related neurotoxin release. Like any other TENS unit it also modulates the neurotransmitters and creates vasodilation and lymph drainage. The KMT22 and the kmt240 are part of a frequent regimen in our house. Our kids come to borrow it when the flu hits or they sprain an ankle. It is our ready weapon when the mosquito season comes around; though we only have a few, we will not take a chance at taking on any new toxins transmitted by any of these critters (which is strongly suspected). Our KMT serves as prophylactic and general maintenance and promotion of health. To me, this device is the best thing that I have encountered during my years of battle. There are I am sure a few more yet unknown beneficial effects and I will let you know as I keep track of things. Most Klinghardt patients use the instruments. I have heard that the multiple chemical sensitive people use it successfully. Some use it while soaking in the tub. Since I am in my 70's when it seems the whole world starts to declare most of us as "demented", I am often using the instrument just in an effort to keep out the cobwebs. I used the Brain Clarity Channel (#4 of the four channels) the other night while asleep - it runs about 5 hours. When I awoke in the morning, I was able for the first time in the last fifty years to read my wallclock ten feet away without first putting on my glasses! The little gadget runs (it seems forever) on a 9V battery and thus avoiding any electromagnetic frequency exposure which is detrimental to many Lyme sufferers. The size of the KMT22 is 5.5 x 3.5 x 2 inches. Dr. K. has treated chronic disease for many years and knows the underlying infections, involved in many diseases, etc. only too well, and has also figured out that unless all are treated, health will not return. All of these pathogens are included in the instrument. The KMT is always "ready" to be put into action -- when these desperate moments happen where we ask "how much longer" and whine"another few weeks before I can see a doctor again"? Do channels #1, 2, 3, &4, one a day; take a couple of days off and start with #1 again. It helped us reach our goal - a normal good day every day. Take care. If you want to know more, e-mail me or call Nancy at 541-488-6770 of AANT. She knows the different machines very well.
Here are some notes that I have taken re KMT that might be interesting for some.
....the healing potential of any electromagnetic device depends on several things: one is the amount of voltage used, the amperage used - those are the two parameters that define a current; then it's the wave form. We know that if you bombard the system with a strong current - if you put a strong current on the skin, the body works like a Faraday cage, that means none of the current is penetrating the body, consequently floats on the outside of the body through the skin into the ground or wherever the person is touching.
The art in microcurrent-technology is how to design a current that actually doesn't flow around the body, but through the body, and then each cell is like a Faraday cage; that means, any current runs on the outside of the cell, but doesn't penetrate into it, and of course the objective with deep healing is that you want to reach inside the cells of the body. To do that, the current has to be very weak, has to be in a biological range (just like when we use our ozone equipment - it has to be in a certain biological range). If the current is too strong, it is deflected by the cell wall. If it has a certain biological range, it will penetrate through the cell wall into the cell and can reach the cell organelles.
And so - there are wave forms where the current rises very sharply and then drops off slowly; then there is a pause, and it rises and it drops - all these currents are pulsed. If you give the body a constant current, the current simply is deflected off the skin, travels in the skin, and just never reaches into any deep tissue. So it needs to be pulsed, and the rise and the pulse decide which part of the cell it is reaching, whether it travels inside the cell or outside the cell.
These are just some basic principles; four carrier waves, that has these different kinds of pulse raises in it, different kind of amperages, different kinds of voltages, that create a synergistic, harmonious frequency pattern that penetrates the body very easily and reaches the cell organelles. We know that -- there is a lot of research out now that you can stimulate the mitochondria to create ATP outside the cell; we know we can sedate the autonomic nervous system, and so forth. So, some of these functions are built in here, but on top of that, the wave patterns are spiked with other wave patterns that are the inhibitory frequencies for these microorganisms.
So it is two things in one. It is stimulating the cell's own health; the normalization and balance in the autonomic nervous system; lymph drainage; increases blood flow in the tissue; and at the same time inhibiting the growth of these microorganisms.
There are different models at different prices that of course do some of the same things, but the more expensive do a lot more. We use both of them depending what the need is. Call Nancy at 541-488-6770 at AANT for more info.
You might also want to pull up the speech I posted some time ago by Dr. Klinghardt given at the Lyme Conference in San Francisco in which he talks about the devices several times. Read through it carefully and study the paragraphs where he refers to KMT. If the search won't work again and you can't find the speech, let me know.
Hope this helps.

Haven't used KMT, but must praise TENS. I have a TENS and it works wonders for nerve pain. My TENS has 4 adhesive contact pads that go on the skin. I put them on the knee, back etc and let it go. I take it with me as it's the size of a walkman and tuck the wires in to my clothes. Beats taking Percocet.
Gigi, when you were treated for brain fog, how was the KMT used? Where do the contact pads make contact with the body?

Gigi, I sent you an email.
How long have you and your husband ben using this?
Do you also follow the K. protocol using allicin and other supplements for detoxing?

I just bought the KMT22 and am trying it out. I haven't used it long enough yet to see results. My one gripe is that it has a constant beep. Since some of the programs can run 4-6 hours, I find it hard to sleep with the beeping.

Foggy, I think the KMT22 and TENS have nothing in common.

Hiker -
If the tiny beep bothers you so, which I don't hear at all any longer, you might put the little thing under a pillow. In fact it's small enough you can hide it under two pillows; or you can return it I am sure if you cannot benefit from it.
Foggy -
My main treatment for brain fog specifically was with Neural Therapy. The KMT technology did not exist in those days. It is a totally new technology which is why there is also no relation to a TENS or any of the devices that have been around for many, many years.
KMT for MCS (chemical sens.) would be started while soaking in the tub.
A lot depends on which KMT we use.
TENS as far as I know do not contain microbial inhibitory frequencies to all the Lyme bacteria, all co-infections, viruses such as all the herpes, cocksackie, all possible mycoplasma, RS viruses, the many different strep and staph, and every possible fungi/candida, etc, nor are the wave forms as described by Dr. Klinghardt and as I have tried to describe above. Many of the frequencies were not known until very recently. The two cannot be compared. As he says, KMT " looks like a TENS", works for pain, etc., but that's all. The current is different and unless one is totally dehydrated, one cannot feel the electrodes.
The KMT for brainfog would be applied with the mask, or with the pads on the various ganglion, vagus nerve, occiput, etc. that play a role in brainfog. The probes can be used inside the mouth for TMJ, etc. The current can be applied with gloves if a knee or foot is severely affected by microorganisms and metals (which is why there is pain in the first place). My husband had a swollen painful knee where the Lyme and viruses, etc. love to settle. We did all the other treatments available to clear them out of the body and used the pads or the gloves, or the mask tied around the knee, again with the right biological current ( as Dr. Klinghardt describes many times in his speech that I posted) - not with TENS. His knee is now perfectly normal and totally painless. It was a bummer for a couple of months! We would not even think of surgery, because all that happens is the microorganisms just relocate for a while to another place, feet, etc. And you suffer through a serious invasive process that knocks people back a mile.
I can't say much more. I posted every word Dr. Klinghardt spoke explaining why and how he uses the device in the total healing process. But again, it is not a TENS and for that very reason is also more expensive.
Valymemon:
I did not get an e-mail from you. Just so you know.
Take care.
