i am wondering if anyone knows how xrays, ct scans, and mri's affect us (aside from radiation warnings) as far as lyme and coinfections go... i only assume that they are super-emfs?
but since radiation is used to kill tumors (and isn't rife basically radiation of sorts?), wouldn't the scans help to kill bugs?
in the past 7 years i have had 3 ct scans, 1 nuclear bone scan, 4 mris, and 7 xrays (maybe more?)...lots of sports injuries pre-lyme and co.
i would hope that these scans can kill bugs, but maybe the opposite?
what do you think? thanks john

No idea, but that is an interesting thought.
Just hoping it would kill them, rather than turn them into a mutant race of superbugs.
Or maybe I've just seen too many bad movies - was thinking of triffids as I typed that (and yes I know triffids are plants not bugs).
In the last 2 years alone, I've had 5 CT scans, 5 (or more?) xrays, 1 MRI, a Hida scan, and a radioisotope cardiac spect scan.
Since ultrasounds penetrate tissues, idly wondering if they do anything to the bugs too. Had a countless number of those in the past 2 years as well.
Puts a smile on my face to visualize those little buggers gettin' fried, it does.
Not going to be volunteering for any further imaging procedures just on that basis tho.

Occasionally someone will get a large Herxheimer from an MRI. It totally depends on what specific frequencies are produced either by the machine itself or harmonics of the frequencies. It is purely accidental but causes quite a bad reaction in the rare cases in which it happens.
Some members of the Rife community have had the idea of using an MRI to produce the debilitating frequencies for a given bacteria, virus etc. The power is thousands of times more powerful than the average Rife type device.
I have never heard of this reaction with a CT scan or radiation treatments.

My MRI last week didn't cause a major herx / die-off. Bummer. That would've been a great side effect and offset being told I have 4 bulging discs. Posts: 7545 | From The 5th Dimension - The Twilight Zone | Registered: Mar 2008

I would try using the infrared light or Rife, instead. These 2 things really do seem to work for people.
I have also read the pulsed electro-magnetic fields (PEMF) can help with pain. I haven't tried it, yet. There are PEMF devices for pain & well being that are being sold at a fairly reasonable price to try it. Some have infrared LEDs combined with the PEMF.
I don't know enough about the other methods like X-rays, CT scans, MRI, etc. I think exposure to X-rays can give you cancer. Cell phones have been linked with cancer, too.
