You need FreeT3 and FreeT4 not T4 and T3 that is old school and not worth the paper it is wrote on I've been told. Not uncommon to have a normal range TSH but it may not be normal for you.
When my levels are off I get cold bone chilling cold and cannot get warm. Sometimes I have to get into a hot bath just to get warm. That is how the thyroid can effect a person not to mention brain fog, muscle, joint pain and GI issues such as indigestion constipation etc.
I can't say for certain but a trip to a Endocrinologist might be worth your time. Most hypo's have a bit lower temp and yours is a bit low. Mine runs about the same as yours even when I'm regulated. some people do run lower and that's normal for them but it makes me suspicious of yours.
It is believed 50 % of the population is hypo. I have to take meds because I had a partial thyroidectomy a few years ago because of high risk follicular cells.
Another thing I wanted too mention is when I came off abx's I got my first vaginal infection which also made me sick about 2-3 weeks of stopping the abx's. It was caused by the abx's killing off the good bacteria and when I stopped taking the abx's ``Bam'' my bad bacteria took over. I kept having a problem for a while but then it leveled out. My LLMD who was suppose to be the best around didn't have a clue what was happening to me and nor did I. I can't believe I'm the only lady that had this problem after stopping long term abx. He seemed like a deer in headlights! I suffered for months with serve UTI symptoms until I got it figured out.
I hope you get it figured out very soon!!! I'm sure in time you'll have a understanding it just seems to always work out that way I have found. Your not alone I've been there more then once along the way!

Thank you, Juli.
Yes, it was Free T4 and Free T3.
Question about rifing....It just hit me today that maybe I should be hitting the gate button after entering frequencies....single frequencies, auto channels, and sweeps.
Should I be doing this? I did set everything up in the beginning...
1. Press gate, press 3, rate 1000 enter. 2. Duty cycle set at 50 enter. 3. Push period button, set duty cycle to 90 enter.
Thanks....what would I do without you?

I always run Gate on all killing freqs including sweeps and auto programs if they are killing. If you don't have your machine set to run gate you can hit the gate button anytime once the program, freq or sweeps begins.
Up in the upper right hand corner of your screen you will see a G in front of the SQ if the gate is on.
When I first began rifing using the GB 4000 and amplifier I never used the gate for about the first 5 months but I should have. I still got good results.

My brain is horrible from over 40 some years of lyme disease so please forgive me for asking but how does one ever decide on which Rife machine to buy? Also why are people always seem to be selling their machines? Some of the machines I see for sale are not the cheaper ones so that is not the reason. If anyone can help me out I would really appreciate it. More then one member of my family now has lyme disease. I have treated with antibitics and am just sick of that route. I have treated off and on for six years now. Seems like every time I get started sooner or later they end up in trouble with the medical boards or whoever.

All the settings stay the same....gate duty cycle, etc. I just need to hit the gate button while running frequencies?
Thank you so much!

Can't really answer why some are selling machines but it takes commitment, diligents and a little homework. Some don't like the herx's but if you go slow and drink lots of water and do all you can to detox it's bearable.
I personally was very sick and I'm not so sure where I would be right now if I didn't take a chance and rife.
I bought he gb 4000 mainly because I was told it was user friendly but best of all it has all the bells and whistles one should ever need to do the job! You can always beef it up at any given time by adding the MOPA which would make it one of the most powerful machines on the market. I'd like to point out though that I got most of my improvements in the beginning with just using just the GB 4000 and Amplifier.
I decided to get the MOPA later to ensure a better chance of success because of it's power it hits harder and deeper and it's hands free which is really nice if you need to rife for any length of time.
My family & friends use our machine for much more then just Lyme. It's been a amazing machine for me in my battle with lyme and co infections.

I will never sell my GB-4000 or either amplifier. Both types of amplifiers work well for Lyme. The biggest drawback to this method is knowing what pathogens you have. If you know that, you are half way there.
I think the reasons people sell the devices are all over the map. When I bought my GB and amp from a lady a few years ago I asked why she was selling it. She said "she just didn't like it". I have no idea what that meant, but some people are just scared by the machine or the reactions to it.

Getting back to my original question of last week,I still am a bit unclear as to how you find what frequency works or....? I have the list of lyme #'s it seems like it would take alot of trial and error to stumble on the magic frequencies. Is this how you make the right decision on which is the best for your own personal killing #'s. I am a bit cautious as far as the amount of time you treat and how many different frequencies to use for each session.All of the research I have done spells out that this is a very direct way to rid your body of bacteria. I wonder about the good bacteria getting killed off as well? I would imagine that rife is non discriminatory as far as what it hits,am I right? Juli, I treated two nights ago with the frequencies that you suggested, nothing yet. I have also done a couple others at two minutes each,nada as well. I did test positive for lyme in Feb using the advanced labs culture but have since done a six month regimine of bicillin /clarithromycin/flagyl during the spring and summer. Wondering if maybe lyme is history?? I still have tinnitus insomnia and muscle twitching.My instinct says I still am positive.Thanks for the help everyone.

The frequencies Juli gave you are some of the better tested Lyme frequencies. Since you have recently been on antibiotics, you likely have very little active Lyme right now. Frequencies do not seem to kill cyst form Lyme.
When and if the Lyme starts to come out of cyst form you will know it from the herx that follows treatment.
In the meantime try 832 Hz for Bartonella. Let us know if you have any response to it. Hopefully you will not.

Wonderful news to report!
First of all the bad...I am very, very sick since coming off abx the beginning of the week. Yeast issues are giving me a fit and stomach is a complete disaster. Still fighting the flu too.
Good news....Sweats have been gone for 3 days! They were almost not existent last week and now gone. Not sure if rife took care of babs or what, just so thankful! I have suffered for nearly 3 years and took high dose babs meds and relapsed each time I came off. Sweats were reduced but never eradicated...until now!
I believe rife took care of it!

That is great news RZR. Keep treating the Babs for a few weeks. It bounced back twice on us. Lack of symptoms means it is reduced but not necessarily gone.
Babs is one coinfections that can be totally eliminated with frequencies.
Good Job.

Thanks, Dan.
I spoke too soon....had some sweats last night.
I will definitely keep rifing...even after babs symptoms are gone. Duncani is one tough infection to eliminate!

I can't answer your question, but I sent Char Boehm an email from her website page on the contact link asking about frequencies for babs duncani. I received an answer within a day or so. You might give that a try.
For those interested...no duncani freq were available.

I have never used frequencies for any pain relieving application, so I do not know the answer to that question.
If you can find the pathogen that causes the joint pain, then if you can eliminate or reduce it, much of the pain should go with it.
The body should be able to repair some joint damage. I do not think frequency treatments can.

My practitioner healed from severe arthritis caused by EBV. She had to first get rid of the EBV with rife and then used collagen and glucosamine together to rebuild her joints which are pain-free today.
The way she found out what was in her joints was through electrodermal screening. Her EDS machine is bascially a rife machine and she inputs frequencies into remedies to give to her patients. She can also use the machine itself to rife, which is much stronger than using the remedies. The benefit of this machine is that you can determine which pathogens you have and then rife for the exact frequencies that showed up on your test.

I made an adjustment to my thyroid meds a few weeks ago and in the past few days I am feeling much better. It can take 4-6 weeks for me to get the full effect from any adjustment.
I did begin rifing everyday again for the Bart just in case but I think it was my thyroid levels. Yesterday I rifed both strains of Bart for almost an hour each (that's double time for me) and I'm happy to report I had absolutely no reaction to either freq. As you can image this has made me VERY happy. Cha Cha Dance Time! Just for the record it's taken me almost two years of rifing to reach this point.
I think I will add in the big sweep soon using a different CF 3.1. I know I still have some things hitting me pretty hard when I have accidently changed the CF so I'm thinking it might be wise to go after it. I've been told the Big Sweep hits everything and anything one could possibly have.

When you say "Big Sweep"...are you referring to the Rife/Peters/Protocol?
-------------------- Tick bite May 2009 Diagnosed June 2009 Posts: 2329 | From SouthEast | Registered: Jun 2009

It is Dr. Rife's 4 hour sweep. It is ran from 24000 hz to 500 hz.
I've been instructed to run it in sections and for less time until I know how I do with it.
With that in mind the first sweep I plan on running is a sweep from 24000 hz down to 20000 hz maybe for 15 mins or so. Then I'll try a sweep from 20000 hz down to 15000 hz and so on.

I will run single frequencies in channel sweep mode on occasion, just to see if I can provoke a response. Especially when that frequency no longer produces an effect.
The channel sweep mode varies the frequency 5 Hz above and below the target frequency.
I hope the big sweep produces some positive results.

I personally don't know and I don't know if anyone has ran just this sweep in treating lyme and it's co infections.
It is very possible that it could be the best thing any of us could do but again I just don't know. I was told to run this sweep in the beginning that I would get better faster but I wanted to follow Dan's path because I know he got good results.
Maybe Dan would know if anyone has just used this sweep instead of single freqs?

Please...need everyone's opinions.
Know I sound like a broken record, but I think I am getting worse. Need opinions.
I have been off abx for 10 days now. These are new symptoms I have since going off meds. I have burning hands and feet, stomach and bladder issues, brain fog, and back pain.
How do I know if this is a relapse or it's a herx? Maybe I should stop rifing for a few days and see what happens?
Is this a good time to start Cumanda...never taken it before. I have been hesitant because I wanted to know what rife was doing.

I would stop treating as you suggested. Until you know whether you are herxing or relapsing, it is impossible to know what course to take.
What supplements, if any, are you using?

I use fish oil, oil of oregano, multi-vit, milk thistle, B-complex, magnesium, probiotics.
I also rotate albendazole and Parastroy for parasites.
LLMD also has me taking high-dose cholestyramine for biotoxin illness (mold issues) and also has me taking heavy metal detox. I have been on the metal detox for several months and cholestyramine for 6 weeks.
I am praying it's a herx. I just can't go back to abx.

Other than the Fish Oil, I don't see much in the way of anti-inflammatory supplements.
We have always used Turmeric and Ginger as they are cheap anti-inflammatory supplements and have lots of benefits. I read a thread here that indicated that Turmeric helps to kill off Babesia also. Something I was not aware of before.
They also thin the blood somewhat to prevent biofilm.
I also take Colestyramine, but for other reasons.
The metal detox thing complicates things as I am sure that has some kind of effect also.
I think it is a good idea to stop treating and find out where you are with this first. I personally do not like blindly trying to treat things. A little understanding of what is happening really helps a lot.

I should also mention that Cholestyramine blocks cholesterol, which is not particularly good for the brain, which lives on fats. That was its original use as a cholesterol lowering treatment.
Just so you are aware of that.

It almost feels like a herx from yeast die off. I know I have a huge yeast issue, but I haven't been feeling well enough to take Diflucan.
Is it possible to have yeast die off just from stopping abx? I have always taken VSL #3 DS probiotics at 900 billion cells per day and continue to do so.
Yes, I do need to add some anti-inflammatory supplements. I have ginger and fresh ginger root. I will add those now and order some tumeric.

What about that drug your LLMD placed you on to help you detox? You said others told you that it causes inflammation. I'm just wondering when did you start that drug could that be the culprit?
I suppose it's possible to relapse but I would think a bit strange to begin relapsing within a couple of hours of stopping two in a half years of abxs.
I have a friend that herx's from cutting back sugar because she has so much yeast in her system have you changed your diet?
I hope you get it figured out soon!

Arrived home yesterday from a 4 day hospital stay for bronchitis and acute asthma. Haven't been sick with lung issues for a very long time since running the R/P/P sweep and although I did get sick I did not get as sick as I normally have in the past so less meds and hospital stay has been a blessing.
Husband was dx'ed with a very low grade of prostate cancer this week. Very small area and none aggressive. Doctor said watch and wait. Doctor stated he will die from something else before he would ever die from this type of PSC. His PSA will be checked every 3 months and then another biopsy in about a year.
Not happy about the dx but grateful for the prognosis. Doc said 50% of the men are walking around with this type of PS cancer at this age but post will never get a clinical dx because it is so very mild.
Now here's the plan.. What a great time to put the rife to the test! I have a feeling from what I have read cancer is easier to cure then lyme and it's co's I suppose we will know in time.
Hubby has been rifing diligently and will continue to do so. I'm hoping in time I will be able to give a good report and we can physically see the results of rifing.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah I know it's a (OT) off topic but I'm hoping to give encouragement to those who are already rifing or thinking about rifing. I will keep you posted to those who are interested.
BTW, I ended up in the hospital just hours after hearing his dx. Sometimes stress is inevitable but were back on track and are feeling confident with our plan.
Hubbies, doctor is one of the top notch around in his field and he is affiliated with Michigan's Number One hospital in the state that also ranks top 10 in the nation last I checked.
Hope you all are doing well! Merry Christmas to all!

The brain fog and burning feet sound like bart flare possibly. Perhaps try several of the SS freq. for bart to see you can knock down the bart. Cumanda is good also. I am on my second bottle.
