Does anyone have any thoughts on whether rifing would be bad for a cathether (12" long) in your arm?

Would it cause the catheter to break down or otherwise be harmed?

The line is not for abx, but for IV glutathione, which has helped me in the past.

Thanks,
Bec

The biggest problem with Rife like devices is metal objects or wireing. The most dangerous is brain stimulators. I have heard that 2 people were killed by their brains being fried.

Also pacemakers and other wireing can be very dangerous with Rife devices.

Don't think rifing is wise under this condition.

Take care.

Becbec,
As long as the catheter has no metal parts, then you will be fine. Around the house, with the microwave, hairdryer, coffee grinder, it is being exposed to emf fields almost as strong. So from a physics perspective, there should be no effect as long as the catheter has no metal parts.

The question you might want to ask is: do you want to add the stress of rifing (emf stress) to your system while you are on high powered abx?
Rife is the most effective when you are off abx, and the Bb bacteria not hiding out in their cyst form(which the abx drives the Bb into while you are on abx) I am wondering if you would be "adding value" if you are rifing during this period.

Instead, you might consider adding a cyst killer like flagyl, you would probably kill more bugs with that combo then with rife while you are on abx.

Just a thought, happy hunting!

Ernie

Becbec, just saw that the catheter is not for Abx. If you are not on abx, then there should be no issue.
