Thanks, Arttile, for this!  I have not read the entire essay yet, but find the views expressed intriquing.  The 'father of biofilm' Dr. Costerton states towards the end of this interview that biofilms 'really do not like DC, (direct current) or ultrasound' when exposed to this in the lab.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_DWNFFgHbEI find the correlation that 'Rife machines work by using resonat ultrasound frequencies' quite compelling.Wish I knew how to perform all the meridian related technologies on myself. Want a Rife machine. Great info and lots to think about!

Nancy,  Are you taking this therapy yourself?Louise

The thing is, Nancy, although Royal Rife invented some clever things, like the universal miroscope, the rife machine makes me think that he got something wrong.  How on earth does his machine distinguish between microbes and mitochondria?  You don't want to end up vibrating all your mitochmdria to death I would have thought........................Sarah

Sarah, I can't nswer your question but, apparently it does work if used properly. A well-known physician suggested that my friend go to Peggy in 2005 when abx failed to cure her. Peggy did. I am not using the Rife machine because I react so strongly to acupressure that, for now, the Rife machine would be too much.The acupressure that she prescribes produces the same die-off as tini. I am doing it about twice a week and next week I will pulse tini.I can't explain it but I can't explain electricity or the Higgs-boson either. Nevertheless, it seems to work.Peggy is the 4th acupuncturist I've been to and the only one who is a scholar and who has been so dramatically successful. She is not getting rich off of this; she is getting wise.

Nancy, nobody can explain the Higgs-Boson but mitochondia are a different matter: if the rife machine is set to kill a pathogen the same size as a mitochondria, then I would be worried and I wouldn't trust an acypuncturist telling me not to be..................Sarah

 O.K., don't. 

Sarah and I were discussing this over a slice of water-melon this morning.I know little about Rife machines, so I am not qualified to discuss them. However, I gather the theory behind their operation is that certain frequencies destroy the bacterial cell wall causing bacterial death. However, our nucleated cells contain mitochondria. These were probably once free-living bacteria, possibly related to the rickettsias. It is surmised that they entered primitive eukaryotes about the time that plants were raising the levels of oxygen in the atmosphere. Initially pathologic, they later became symbiotic. Eukaryote and prokaryote became interdependent. Now, if Rife machines really worked there would be a big risk of mitochondrial destruction. (Mitochondria are midsized organelles, larger than chlamydiae but smaller than most eubacteria, e.g. E. coli.) Mitochondrial depletion would not be compatible with life.

I am not the one to dispute your argument, David. But the answer we often give to neurologists is: it works. Acupressure works for me and, from what I understand, Peggy uses the machine to enhance the acupressure. Sometimes, as with aspirin, we just do what works. There are people on this site already Using a Rife machine. Perhaps this will help them.Neither I nor Peggy believe in abandoning abx. This is an addition and for some of us it is worth a try. My mitochondria have not done too well on CAP.Have you read her paper? 

Scientific citations, please. I have read her words. But I wish real evidence.

I guess anecdotes will have to do . . . or not.As far as mitochondria go, I have been on CAP for about 7 years and if energy is an indication of mitochondrial health, it hasn't worked. I am adding something new and trust my own self-awareness to decide whether to continue.I posted this essay not for my own benefit but for the benefit of those who may have already bought Rife machines. It worked for my friend who had Lyme disease. It is not tailored to c.pn.

Well said, Louise.  I too have benefited by non-traditional modalities such as Earthing, which does work with energy frequencies just in a very different way.  I have only used the bands now for about 4 nights.  What I can share about this is that it has reduced the muscle fasciculations quite considerably for me.  As I have had not received medical assistance I have been enormously grateful for adjunct therapies that work. It would be interesting to read further patient experiences on Rife machines and their applications.  I do not know all involved in this technology, but would feel that an experienced practitioner would be a must.  Nancy seems blessed with hers.

But Nancy does not use a Rife machine: she sees an acupuncturist....................................Sarah

Sarah is right, in a way. My acupuncturist prefers to use a Rife machine for Lyme disease to preclude their going into a cystic state as with abx.  At this point my acupuncturist is having me do acupressure. From my point of view, there are 2 reasons to choose acupressure over Rife: 1. Using the Rife machine, she says, is equivalent to using electrified acupuncture needles. I am extremely sensiive to acupuncture and I couldn't possibly handle electrified needles; 2. My husband becomes a raging bull at the very mention of a Rife machine but is fine with acupuncture. Rife machines are considered fraudulent by many and Peggy says they are ineffective because they are used haphazardly and without expert guidance. The exact frequencies are needed for them to be effective. The booklet that the machine comes with is a shotgun approach and generally ineffective. Her paper, however, comes with specific charts as to how to set the frequencies, which is why I felt it might help those who have already purchased (and perhaps given up on) Rife machines. Her studies are limited to tick-borne diseases.As for the acupressure, it doesn't hit as hard as tinidazole but it most certainly produces die-off which is why I use it as an adjunct. She is also using it to strengthen my immune system and liver. I don't do as much as she would like because the effect of the full protocol flattens me and I am supposed to do it daily.

Ah, I have got it: if a Rife machine actually works it will probably only do so with a pathogen with a cell wall, because the vibrations will cause them to knock against each other and kill themseves.  A mitochondria has no cell wall, but it does have two membranes, but hopefully two membranes are still not tough enough to make a cell wall.  I think that even if I had lyme disease I would be wary of risking it though......................................Sarah

Passing electric current through your body is going to do things, and it wouldn't be surprising if it activated the immune system (say, by damaging something, with the immune system then responding to the damage).  But actual electromagnetic resonance of the sort Rife claimed is only plausible to people who know nothing about electromagnetism and resonance.  You'd need vastly higher frequencies to get small structures like bacteria or mitochondria resonating.  And even then the Q would probably be so lousy that nothing of any importance would result.

Norman, why do acupunturists use electrifed needles?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroacupuncture 

Oooh, such a cynic! 

I like this site as I learn alot on it.  As like anything in life, varying opinions and options abound. The beauty of being individuals.Sometimes science is not always exact about any approach and sometimes the science is thin at best.  I don't know enough about Rife technology, but I think like anything one has to use their own experience and judgement to guide.  It is not always easy running the gauntlet of hope in order to get to the other side.  It is nice when others who are able can light the way..Whatever you decide, Nancy, I wish you all the best.  It would be great to see other people's experiences posted here for interested parties to reference!

Just came back from Lyme doc who has given up his license because of gov't. Well, long story short - he is using the Bi-Com ( quantum physics ) which he says cures Lyme et al in a year + 1/2 at 300$ a month. Comments? Please? Also just had a Vega machine supplement test for 200$ All good. Comments here please too?...I am already broke LOLBest,Linda 

Linda, don't touch it unless you want to prove Barnum right................Sarah 

Lucky, I couldn't find info on the Bi-com, but here is the Wiki article on Vega machines:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vega_machineOne of the reasons I trust Peggy Creelman is that she continues to work on helping me and refuses payment until i have been helped.

Gee Lucky - I wish I had a doc that refuses payment until I am helped. I am happy for you!!! Well, as I said I had the Vega tests - one for bactieria et al and one for the supplements I take and the ones the Doc would like to give me. They are all fine apparently lol. 300 - 400$ fine that is.In the midst of this - first day of skool, 2nd day long staff meeting and then piece de resistance - 3rd day Doc. Long week.I told him that with the treatment for my husband and I it would be 600$ a month - and this runs at least for a year + our regular supps and his visits at 200$ an hour. Wow. We need to eat too, can you imagine. I think I will go my abx thank you Dr. Wheldon route and carry on......OK I need to look up Barnum - tired so maybe tomorrow.Best,Tired Linda
