I have just barely finished three months of Plaquenil and Biaxin and feel horrible. First I suffered severe flu feelings for 4 days and now the burning in my neck ,scalp and back is all day and all night long. I don't know if I should restart the antibiotics to see if I improve or go to the Rife machine I just bought. I think either way I won't know what is happening! LLMD doesn't know either.
Please help!

If you have not been sick long, stay with antibiotics! You may want to try different ones besides Biaxin/Plaquenil. There are many out there, how long were you sick prior to diagnoses?

I had a hard time deciding that myself. I opted to stay on antiobiotics until I feel comfortable enough to just do rife. I have only
done one very short rife session and I herxed
more than on any of the 15 or so antibiotics I've been on.

Your question assumes that you HAVE to be off antibiotics before starting Rife.

That statement is certainly debatable. Myself, and several other people I know Rifed while on abx and still had good results. You can taper off antibiotics while continuing on Rife.

I don't believe it has to be all one or the other.

I am using rife, abx, and supplements. I'm far from cured but at least am back to work again.

Thanks for the responses but if you Rife and do antibiotics how do you know which is working if you feel better or in the other case which isn't working. It seems confusing enough with one variable and I'm not sure which way to go.
Thanks!

I would see if you can get a more tolerable antibiotic to take. Antibiotics should be the first thing used, especially if you have not been infected long.

We are Rife users, but if antibiotics are available try them first. You can use Rife later if you do not get results. Neither is guaranteed to work.

In 8 years of facilitating a support group I have seen multiple full remissions with abx but none with Rife... so I vote STAY ON ABX*)!*)!
