A few years back before I was diagnosed with Lyme but very sick, a friend told me about a Dr. Barta in Florida who had developed a machine which
used frequencies of electrical impulses to irradicate many, many health problems. He was elderly and had spent most of his research to determine which frequencies killed cancer cells.
He had a clinic near Tampa and was booked seven days a week for people wanting to use his machine and his detox methods. My friend actually had Dr. Barta phone me and we discussed my symptoms.
At the time, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and numerous associated conditions. Dr. Barta explained how his machine worked and urged me to come to his clinic for treatment.
Soon after that, my friend told me that Dr. Barta had developed a newer machine with many more settings. He called it "Big Boy." He was offering it to my friend for a deeply discounted price because of shared acquaintances.
My friend ordered the machine and gave it to me. There were really no instructions other than loading the frequencies into my computer and then transferring the ones I wanted to use to the machine with paddles to be placed under the feet in a pan of water or hand-held devices or both.
Dr. Barta did stress that detoxing was very important and he had numerous frequencies just for that. He said to drink purified water before and after each machine use.
I used the machine off and on for a short time. I noticed some increase in my pain and for that reason I quit using it. Now I understand about the herx response.
My daughter has the machine now but I don't think she is using it. I remember that there were a lot of settings for bacteria and fungi.
My question is: has anyone heard of this machine and if so, is it like the Rife machines? Since I have access to it I am thinking I ought to use it and detox gradually and then perhaps target some coinfections of Lyme.
I know there were some frequencies under the heading of Lyme disease but there were also some for BB, Babesia, Bart, and more.
I have hesitated to use the machine without any support. I can't find Dr. Barta's clinic anymore. I would say that he has retired or worse, has died since I first spoke with him.
I would appreciate any comments or information that anyone here might have.
Thanks so much, Janet

Would it help to compare the frequencies Dr. Barta uses for specific Lyme bacteria and co-infections to rife frequencies numbers?
Can you tell what frequency or frequencies are being used for Bb? If so, here is a website that I think lists rife frequencies. You might check to see if they are the same numbers.
This is just a thought. It still may not answer the question as to whether it is still a proper rife machine, i.e., made in accordance with whatever the parameters are.
I do not use rife, but I have been doing some research into it as well as many other possible 'tools' and remedies, etc. Not any sort of expert by any means. But that is what I might do.

After having been forced to explore alternatives for Lyme treatment by the political mess within the medical system, 'Rife type' treatment has turned out to be the one thing that has really helped us.
What you describe sounds very much like a version of a pad type Rife machine, similar to ones being used today. Most output frequencies in the audible range in the form of square waves at a low (and safe) voltage. Newer devices have features to allow you to program in sets of frequencies to run as a sequence etc., but the basic functionality is the same.
If that is the case you should have little difficulty finding information to help you use it.
As far as how to use one of these things, I would suggest Bryan Rosner's book 'Lyme Disease and Rife Machines', and Nenah Sylver's 'The Handbook of Rife Frequency Healing'. Both are available on Amazon, but usually can be bought at a better price at Bryan's site 'lymebook.com'. (No, I have no financial or other connection.)
Both are excellent sources of information for those wanting to know more about using these devices. Nenah's book is not Lyme specific, and covers alot of other health subjects in addition to Rife therapy. (The Holistic approach.)
If you could post or email a picture of it I might be able to help you identify it. It is probably recognizable as one of the basic types, and once that is determined, the books and online info can help you to use it effectively.

Thanks for everyone's input. As I remember, the frequencies which are downloaded from computer to machine are not given in numbers, just downloaded by medical problem or detox.
I don't have a camera to take pictures of the machine but my daughter does and I'll ask her to take pics to post.
My gut feeling is that this would really be helpful, especially now that I know what I need the frequencies for. The machine can be programmed to run a series of three frequencies at one sitting. There are no lights, just a pad that shows when the frequencies are changing and
a knob to be able to adjust the current or power of the frequencies. The buzzing feeling can be too strong depending on the frequencies chosen. Dr. Barta did suggest that I keep the frequency strength as high as I can stand.
This comes just in time for me. I received a call from the LLMD's clinic to tell me that my second round of tests show me being positive on both Western Blot tests (first tests showed positive on only the IGG with some positive bands on the EGM and positive for Mycoplasma. I was negative for Babesia and Bart.
I was surprised at the negative Babesia since I have so many of the symptoms. I am going to look here for the symptoms of Mycoplasma.
My LLMD is currently under sanctions which will not allow him to treat with long-term antibiotics but his assistant said they are waiting to learn if his new research study using his own protocol will be approved.
That would be a God-send since I will have to find another LLMD if my current one continues to have his hands tied by his uninformed and biased medical board.
Thanks for all your help. I will post again when I know more.

The Babesia tests are notoriously insensitive and at best can test for only one or two of many strains. You don't want to just assume you don't have it on the basis of a test if symptoms suggest otherwise.

Exactly what I was going to say!

Uhhum, I have been using it thank you very much.
Also, I have the rife book, have extensively searched for ways to program the software to specific frequencies, including asking the lyme rife yahoo group to no avail yet.
Well, except someone said Dr. Barta is in a retirement home somewhere.
I'll get it back to you ASAP.
Love, H
