Rife for Lyme gets USA Hospital Study by East Coast Physician

Its about time: a “mainstream” study of rife technology. Dr. Steven Phillips, M.D., of Connecticut (ILADS member) is recruiting volunteer participants for “a matched cohort study to assess for DNA damage, or the lack thereof, in patients using rife machines.” See Dr. Phillips’ flyer on the study for more information (the flyer has been approved by the Institutional Review Board at the hospital he is working with for this study).

While I’ve long felt that rife therapy is among the most helpful modalities for Lyme patients (as I wrote in the book I published in 2004), there has been very little study on the benefits or harm of this treatment. Perhaps this will be the beginning of an open door for many more such studies in the future. Thanks, Dr. Phillips!

    Radio waves? Some frequency devices use a higher radio band frequency for a carrier wave, but most of the Lyme and co-infection frequencies are in the audio band, not the radio band of frequencies. The same band your stereo speakers out put.

    If the terminology is wrong to begin with, I question the knowlege of the people doing the research. Or the study is using frequencies not related to Lyme and co-infection treatment. Unless they are referring to Lyme DNA based frequencies, run in a higher band than most people use them at.

    Can you get some clarification on this?

    Thank you.

    Interesting comment, I forwarded it to the person coordinating the study. You can also contact them directly at the address on the PDF file linked above

    It is not incorrect to say ‘radio waves’. ‘Radio waves’ and ‘EM Radiation’ are synonymous. You can certainly have E-M radiation operating at audio frequencies.

    I bought an EMEM5 machine about a year and a half ago. I started using it quite frequently and always thought it help me keep on an even keel. I have not used it for some time now. I still have symptoms such as fatigue, and joint pain but not as severe as a year ago. I have also been out of work for a year and a half. I think this may contribute to my being stable at this point.
    I have not been on antibiotics for 2 yrs and would be interested in joining this study. Although I have not been tested since I was first diagnosed (I was CDC positive)I know I still some symptoms. I would like more info on the study being done.

    Well, I guess some people will buy anything, especially when they are desperate. My friend, who has been using “Rife” long term, is now going blind. You never answered my question, Mr Rosner. Has one tick ever had the spirochetes it was carrying, destroyed by a rife machine? Will the Dr also be studying what type of person benefits from the desperation, misery, and dying of sick people?

    Darbee,

    I never saw your question. And I did the best I can to explain the answers to your question (based on my opinion and personal experience) in my book, Lyme Disease & Rife Machines. I am aware that there is a debate about the legitimacy of rife technology, and it would be impossible for me to settle that debate. I don’t try :-) I just share what I’ve learned. Its a free country, if you disagree with me I’m happy to have your remark here on my blog. Nevertheless, my use of rife wasn’t driven by desperation, misery, or other such elements, but instead, because it helped me get well.

    And to answer your question about rife destroying spirochetes: I met a mechanical engineer who said he observed this, his name is Doug. He’s never made money off rife, why would he lie? I can’t verify it with my own eyes, but here’s his story:

    Hello,
    I am a Senior Clinical Research Scientist, and have had Lyme Disease for 4 years. I was very healthy once, and my Lyme story includes almost dieing from blood clots as a result of extensive deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolisms, in addition to having the plethora of all the other normal Lyme Disease symptoms most of the afflicted suffer with during the disease progression. I am a patient of Dr. Phillips. Different types of long term antibiotic treatments did help (80% better), kept me alive, and stopped rapid disease progression… but eventually the Lyme symptoms always creep back. I read Bryan’s book and have been experimenting with Rife on myself for a couple of months. This book is a shining beacon of light, and I have found the information to be truthful and enlightening. I have also absorbed all the Rife machine information I could find at a feverish pace.

    I had the biggest Herx in the last 3 years after my 2nd rife treatment… and I did not have to spend thousands of dollars on a GB4000 or any of the other expensive marketing hype Rife machines.

    Right now, the recurring Herx and gradual improvement is the only evidence available to show efficacy for any treatment.

    This matched cohort study will compare the effects of Rife therapy on a group of carefully selected clinically diagnosed Lyme Disease patients versus a normal non Lyme Disease control group selected using the same criteria, ie. age, area of the country, etc.

    The study will be using the popular GB4000 which uses an RF carrier frequency to piggy back the lower audio range Lyme frequencies, which historically appear to show efficacy among the Lyme Rife users, in order to penetrate further into the body to be able to reach the well hidden and evasive spirochete. Some Rife researchers feel this is necessary to overcome the electrical resistance of the human body. To overcome this resistance by increasing signal amplitude (voltage)can be dangerous for obvious reasons.

    For the 1st time a modern clinical study utilizing molecular biology techniques and others will be used to study the effects of Audio and RF signal on the human bodies of diseased and normal individuals to see whether the therapy has real clinical merit, and whether the therapy is safe, ie. does it do any damage to human cells and the DNA within them.

    Damage to cells and DNA can have long term often hidden effects which can be passed on to offspring. There are about ~23,000 protein coding genes in the human genome. Gene mutations at the nucleotide or molecular level can and do effect protein function which can cause disease. These proteins make up every cell and organ in your body.

    Yes, I am desperate to get my health back and will try anything to do that, which includes any and all alternatives outside of mainstream medicine.

    Mainstream medicine has completely failed on all levels when it comes to Lyme disease diagnosis and treatment. This will all come into the light soon as more and more scientists, doctors, medical professionals, and many others every day are becoming afflicted with Lyme Disease.

    Is there a way to sign up to get the results of Dr. Phillips’ study when they are published?

    From reading these comments, it is clear that mis-information is rampant. Frequencies between 50Hz to over 45MHz have been used. Obviously nobody here has anything like that and therefore I wonder if any good can come of these studies.
    Lyme organisms (and I am talking about all of the co-infections as well) can actually invade your cells and modify your DNA, among other things. How does this study plan to differentiate who did what to who? How does it even get a baseline of your specific DNA pre-disease and pre-treatment? You can’t go back in time. You can try and generalize by looking at other people (as this study tries to do), but how valid is that? Everyone is different, so of course our DNA is different.
    Note that when you get a viral-based co-infection, your infected cells become a factory to generate more viruses. That’s how viruses work and how they spread. So those cells actually SHOULD be killed, along with the virus.
    As Rife himself said repeatedly: “You have to have the right frequencies.” What made Rife so successful was that he had his microscopes, so he could see the stuff. He was a microbiologist, so he could grow the stuff. And he had his Beam Ray, so he could kill the stuff. Any engineer should be able to understand the importance of being to “round trip” the entire process. It didn’t matter that some ???? like Morris Fishbein (founder of the AMA) didn’t like the answer. Rife could work empirically once he spent a couple of decades developing the technology “loop” to actually conduct meaningful work. So he followed his loop externally and he followed Koch’s postulate with the test subjects to isolate, extract and reintroduce the cause of the specific disease being studied.
    Now even if you got this far, you need to understand the following. The organisms themselves have a lifecycle. For example, a parasite has an egg stage, a larval stage, an adult stage, etc. So you need all of those numbers, per organism. Then the parasite is itself infected. So you kill the parasite, and the bacteria that come out of its carcass. Then, if you kill the bacteria, the viruses and mycoplasmas that infected the bacteria come out. What people think are herx reactions are often actually infections based on the release of these other pathogens. And of course there are toxins released when you kill pathogens (and when you don’t) but that is probably the least of your worries.
    Next, you must also understand that pathogens can be pleomorphic. For example, when exposed to antibiotics, Borellia will go into an L-Form (cell wall deficient form) to protect itself.
    Cancer exists as a small microbe, a virus, a fungus, and a mold. Temperature, pH, and medium can cause it to change form. This is also why, for example, certain substances are carcinogenic.
    Lyme organisms are spread by a variety of insects, not just ticks. (Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1986). And Borellia, for example, will almost never be found in your blood stream as a spirochete. And what tests are there for these organisms in their L-Forms, and have they been used to test the (insect) vectors?
    Rife and his associates were attacked tooth and nail by the “monomorphs”. And it wasn’t until the late 1950′s that medicine got a clue and started to realize that at least some cancers were caused by viruses.
    Then you must consider other effects. For example, certain parasites emit biofilms. Then these are colonized by a variety of bacteria. This makes it difficult or impossible to treat these infections.
    Sorry that this stuff is not trivial but knowledge leads to truth and vice versa.
