Guest guest Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Hi Sue, I am not sure how anyone can " fail " rife... It is a pathogen killer, if you kill pathogens then you didn't fail.. And just the fact you are working with your machine at killing this disease off means you did fail, you fail when you stop treating and give up and nobody here is going to let you do that!! If you also have Lyme then you most likely are also low on magnesium and for many of us heavy metals are issues we have to deal with.. It is not about pathogens only.. And unfortunately, there is no " common " treatment protocol to cure these diseases, even LLMDs have to try different things to help their patients to get better. Now sometimes you need to try different frx's and I would suggest you use just one frx at a time and only work on killing one disease at a time.. For Babs (I think this is what you are treating for) try using 570 and if it doesn't work after a while, 1583. Place the MOPA device close to the liver when using it.. I don't know how much time to suggest per session as this is a newer device, but you keep increasing the session times until you have a normal kind of herx, more fatigue, more brain fog, generally feeling crappier and usually for up to 3 days, sometimes a bit more. The GB4000/MOPA is a very powerful device and is believed to be the closest technology to what Dr. Rife used, so you have an excellent machine to be using for this. I honestly believe as an overall rife machine, the GB4000/MOPA is one of the best if not the best.. There are two very divided thoughts on raising Cortisol, some believe that using very small doses of Hydrocortisone is okay as long as you don't take more than what the body needs.... WARNING: If you do take too much, this can really cause you to crash and the journey back can be a long one.. LLMDs like Dr. Burrascano believe steroids should never be used, instead treating with herbs only... And definitely don't lose hope, getting well from these diseases is really a process of trying many things and sticking with those that work.. AND there is no simple answer, what works for me may not work for you and vice versa. I would suggest if you do decide on Cortisol replacement do so at 2.5mg and have your levels checked often. A lot of us have adrenal and thyroid issues, these are very complicated illnesses and the best way to get better is to try to chip away at not only the diseases, but also the symptoms. Sue, you can do this, it just takes a lot of patience and trying different things and sticking with those that work..

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I was just reading something where a doctor said she treats candida before LD, and I know many doctors treat co-infections before they treat LD. The first thing my doctor did, after treating candida, was to treat for heavy metals, which actually made things worse (we didn't know I had LD, and releasing heavy metals released spirochetes into my system). You do have to be very careful! When I first began rifing I got very tired afterward, and often had mild diarrhea--nothing violent or intolerable. A gentle herx that you hardly notice is good. They also took me off the vegetarian diet and got me eating salmon. So build yourself up with protein, fish oils, and lots of fresh vegetables. And start weaning yourself of simple carbohydrates and caffein, if you haven't done so already. When I first started rifing, i had several treatments at a clinic before i ever bought the machine. So I was well-supervised and had expert advice from a doctor who knew me well. Rifing on your own can be very intimidating. Give it some time. Have you read Rosner's LYME DISEASE & RIFE MACHINES? There is so much good advice in that book! And by the way, did you find " inflammation " in your frequency manual?

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Sue, I agree with Jim. I have had some of the same issues and I'll suggest some things based just on my own experience, which may or may not work for you. First, if you have tried a frequency by itself and worked up to 5 minutes, then I would switch frequencies for now. You might respond to it later, see below. Second, if you are starting out treating babesia and having no response, I would make the guess that babesia is not the " top dog " of your infections right now. If you have babs, there is a very high likelihood you have borrelia and perhaps bartonella. For me, these two are much more powerful than babesia and hold it down. And when I started, I initially followed Stolar's suggestion to treat bart first. I worked up to 5 minutes with no response to 832 Hz. He then told me to try borrelia at 432 Hz. I had a good response to that once I got up to several minutes. After 2-3 months on that, I tried 832 again and DID respond. So my suggestion is to consider trying to treat either of those infections. There are several frequencies to try and bartonella is harder to find the right one. (832 has not been the answer for me.) Third, some people don't have herx symptoms, they just get better. Lastly, about the thyroid, etc. I think it is important to treat these things to some degree. Our bodies are not working well in many areas and we have to support them while we treat the bugs. For me, RT3 became a problem when my thyroid medication was reformulated by the company and I no longer absorbed it. After many months, I finally stabilized on pure T3 (I buy it from Mexico) plus a tiny amount of Naturethroid (this evens me out so I don't go up and down). I also discovered that Vitamin C is the raw material for the adrenals to make hormone. Salt and electrolyte balance is important for thyroid to be utilized, get across the cell membrane and for the adrenals to work. I would do all of this before considering cortisol in any amount. Then I would also try some adrenal supports to see if you can recover without the cortisol. I was on small doses of cortisol for a short time but in retrospect I wish I had NOT followed the advice on those forums about this. I also have a bit of a theory that electrolyte balance may be important for the rife to be most effective. In addition, damage to my gut caused malaborpsion and even though I was not thin, I was extremely malnourished. I take B vitamins by self-injection, magnesium by injection, and cysteine and glutathione by injection. In addition, I take specific amino acids that I need to support detox (taurine, glycine and NAC). I have friend who is not a lymie but has the thyroid RT3 adrenal issues and she hugely regrets doing the cortisol thing. She now does well on pure T3 only but needs a monthly vitamin/mineral IV. No matter what she tries to do orally, she needs this IV. She is very active and generally healthy other than needing to restrict her diet. So do consider that you might be deficient. And as Jim says, detoxing including heavy metals and toxins from our infections is very important. You have about the best machine out there, as far as I am aware, and I'd stick with the process. There is much trial and error for all of us. Sherry > > > > I have rifed channels and individual frequencies, but have not experienced anything. Nada.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Hello sue, I too have issues with thyroid and coristol levels. I am waiting for results I just had drawn at the lab and I will share what the dr suggests for coristol levels. I do believe mines from toxic mold exposures in our home were now trying to get moved out of. Are you sure you aren't being exposed to any types of mold? I didn't know for 6 Yrs. The Picc treatments I had inky made me worse making my candida way higher from antibiotics. Lyme sure does complicate our lives. Nothings easy anymore but we will fight and get through all this keep your chin up and save my email please and check back in about two weeks ok? That test takes 10 days to get results back. It was shoemaker genetics test and shows complex coristol results. Take care, carrie Sent from my iPhone I have rifed channels and individual frequencies, but have not experienced anything. Nada. Not that I really have any idea of what to expect, since I feel depressed and crummy all the time. I've heard people can 'fail' rife and now wonder if I might be one of them. My machine seems to come on and light up, but I don't know if it's working. Is there any common problem that rife failures have? I have a depressed immune system and am hypothyroid(too much reverse T3), cold all the time, and have low cortisol. Perhaps I should fix these issues? Have been holding off since cortisol replacement get such a bad rap in the lyme community. Losing hope. Sue = Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Thanks to everyone who replied. I bought my machine on Ebay, so have no one to support me through this process. I think I need to find someone to consult with who can help me with the frequencies I should use. Any suggestions on how I can find a naturopath who works with Rife? I'm in Princeton, New Jersey. I've heard Nenah Sylver offers(for rather a large fee), phone consults, but have no idea if she's a good resource for our types of problems. thanks.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Hi Sue, My MD who is also a wholistic doctor put me on two types of thyroid since I did not convert T3 to T4. I am on Westhroid and Liothyronine which is compounded. You may not be converting T3 to T4 and if that is the case your body temp will be very low. Mine was around 94. Now it is close to normal. It is amazing how much better you will feel just getting the Thyroid and adrenals working. I am also doing an adrenal supplement that I think works very well. It is called Sub-Adrene by American Biologics. It comes in drops and you place it under the tongue. It has worked much better for me then the Bezwecken Isocort that I used to take. I would also get some Nutramedix Pinella and Burbur and take about 60 drops a day or so after you have run the MOPA. See if that helps you to feel better. If it does, then you will know that some of how you are feeling is herx related. If your plasma bulb is lighting up, then it is working. You should also notice that as frequencies change on the GB 4000 frequency generator the bulb will light with varying intensities. You also could be sensitive to the Plasma bulb which is my problem. I can stand about 10 minutes of any Plasma device before I start getting EMF sensitive, then sitting in front of a wifi device will cause my head to start tremoring. > > I have rifed channels and individual frequencies, but have not experienced anything.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Thanks, . Yes, the tube lights up. It seems to get hotter at the lower frequencies and has lower output at the higher ones. I had the EBay seller ship it to the manufacturer in Utah to check it out, so I guess at this point I have to figure it's working. Yes, I have the high reverse T3 problem. I will look into the adrenal support you mention. I would like to treat the thyroid issue, but didn't think I could with low cortisol(it's low normal in the am, then bottoms out.). Sounds like you have a similar problem, but that you've resolved it. I think I also need some Natur-throid as well as T3--otherwise I get very depressed mid-afternoon. This was back when I was on about 30 mg of cortisol and T3 only--which my then-doctor encouraged. I fear taking the cortisol actually brought out the diseases and got me in this sorry mess. It's not to be taken lightly. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I take my thyroid in a divided dose--120mg in the morning, and 60mg before lunch. That helps me get through the afternoon.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Hi , Funny you asked about molds, because my biggest problems seems to arise from molds. I raked leaves in my backyard after the snow melted away and the leaf molds really set me back. I tend to have food allergies and I believe a lot of these are caused by molds on foods which if you eat leftovers or any stored foods you can't get away from molds. I feel terrible every time I walk into a sick building and have worked in old public schools for a long time and I know they have all had a leaky roof from time to time. Whoever came up with the concept of a flat roof on schools had no clue about indoor mold problems that is for sure. I am due to retire next year from teaching, so i am hoping that getting out of schools once and for all will help my mold issue. My house now is fine, but I have lived in moldy homes in the past. > > > I have rifed channels and individual frequencies, but have not experienced anything. Nada.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 The GB 4000 folks have been very helpful to me. I would just call them. They have sat on the phone with me for a long time.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Hi Sue, I think Naturthroid is just a T3 supplement like westhroid. You may need a T4 supplement too. I take both Westhroid and Liothyronine 2 times a day. and that has worked well for me. I hope you can get some resolution for some of your endocrine problems. > > Thanks, . > > Yes, the tube lights up.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 WOW , You're still working through this whole LD ordeal! I'm impressed! But I definitely agree that molds are a huge problem, and school systems are not inclined to deal with them unless they are forced to do so, since most of them are financially challenged. My husband missed a whole year of elementary school because of mold. The following year his parents put him into a private school. That was in the 1940's--I think nowadays in Michigan a school with a severe mold problem would be closed until it was taken care of.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 No, I'm pretty sure Naturthroid/Westhroid and Armour are all mixtures of T3 and T4. Liothyronine is T3 only, as I'm sure you know. What you are taking is no doubt to correct your reverse T3 problem by supplying extra T3 directly, so the end result is a higher T3:T4 ratio than Westhroid offers by itself. When I was taking thyroid hormones, I was taking T3 only, which gave me too many ups and downs.The T4 helps with that. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
