Hi,

I have read a lot of posts here about rifing. It seems that a lot of people here started rifing after a failed attempt with antibiotics.

Can rifing be used as a main type treatment? My LLMD thinks that because of my neuro and cardiac involvement, that I will need long-term IV antibiotics.

I have been clinically diagnosed with Lyme and Bart. Bart is my main problem. Could I potentially use rifing to treat rather than IV antibiotics? Or is rifing only used for mild cases?

From what I have read, antibiotics don't always work. Plus, my husband also has Lyme and Bart, and I was thinking that if rifing is a possibility for us, we could both benefit from buying a machine.

I just can't get a handle on when rifing is useful and on how well it works to get rid of Lyme and co-infections.

Thank you!

Hazeldee

My personal thought is that rifing is a good in-conjunction method... It (in my opinion) would be a good supplement to herbal or medicinal treatments.

But I am no expert. That is my personal opinion.

Was diagnosed with Autonomic Disorder, POTS, Interstitial Cystitis, and Fibromyalgia. True story is I have late stage Lyme which has caused these things. Just began the fight in October 2011 (have been full-blown Lyme since Sept. 5, 2010), and WILL be victorious! Positive bands: IgG 41 and 60; IgM 23 and 41. CDC positive!

Not a doctor, not anyone of any legal standing... just someone on the search.

Thanks. I am hoping to hear from people who have used it with success. I'm not sure if people here are using it as their primary treatment or as a supplement to medications.

Hi hazeldee, that's one of the reasons we got a rife-our whole family is affected.

Like Lauren said, it's a good supplement to abx/herbal. We use herbals.

I wish I could tell you I'm healed.....

We've been at this almost 10 months. Lyme and Bart are my primary

Issues too. But our rife machine does so much more than kill the bugs.

Feel free to pm me if you want more information.Smile

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the responses! I will have to get in touch with you all once I feel better. After not quite a week of feeling somewhat normal, I seem to be herxing again. Ugh.

Hi! I rife with a doug coil while on antibiotics and it helps my symptoms when I do it. But Im not in remission yet and Ive been at this for 7 months. I do feel it has been helpful and I have been improving with rife plus a ton of antibiotics.

Still, there is some controversy but most info I read says it will be most effective off antibiotics.
