Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Hi, There is a big difference between what happens under a microscope and what happens in the human body. I've been rifing every day for several years and I have yet to experience any adverse effects from it. I sincerely doubt that the commonly available Rife devices are anywhere near powerful enough to cause bacteria (which do not cause influenza) to " burst " within the human body. Rife's original device had the power of a small radio broadcasting station. Nothing we have today comes close, which is a pity.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Hi cb, Excellent report! I think we even have one fatality that I heard about many years back. A person with cancer using a plasma system had an " all day " session to try and quickly kill the cancer. This worked for the cancer, but he soon died from toxic overload. His liver could not cope with the toxic load the blown-up microbes/cancer cells released, experiencing liver failure and death. Many years ago, this was reported in the forum to warn people about the hazards of going too fast. This technology does work, and works very well, and people have to respect it and not get so overwhelmed by their illness and their need for a quick heal - as you say, the reverse can happen. Their body has to clear the toxins dumped by microbes that actually do explode open when using powerful Rife type systems. This can easily be achieved by the more powerful Rife type plasma system, and may be some of the high voltage/power contact systems, but todate, vendors have been diligent about warning people of this problem and instruct them to proceed at shorter session intervals with good breaks between to evaluate their response to the session. Dr Hulda now advises to use her 9 volt DC zapper for upto 10 hours per day if a person has cancer. Obviously, the 9 volts is not enough to blow-up the microbes, but it will devitalise them, and at the same time, increase the body's killer T-Cells to mop-up the dead bacteria (As per Prof. Noel research with AIDS). People don't experience a herx with the zapper (when at 9 volts) I know from people when first using my electrode amplifiers report that only a slight tingle can be felt in frequencies under 3,000Hz. This is an 18 volt signal. People have expectations that the signal has to be blasted into them, where they feel great power surging into their bodies for it to work. I guess this comes from the fastness of life these days, where people want to wake up the next day cured. This expectation is in error and can only lead to trouble. Yet is was the way of the old Rife industry, to crank up the power to a level where it could just be tolerated. These high power levels can also strip the protective cholesterol outer layer from the nerves thus giving people nerve damage which can take years to heal. So, if people are using powerful Rife type systems, the clear message is to go slow, with short sessions at the beginning to evaluate response and toxic loading in the body. Obviously, high levels of Vit C will aide the removal of the toxins. Massage and other lymphatic therapies could be used to help with the eliminate of toxins. Sounds to me that a good approach is not to try to blow the microbes up, as Dr Rife did, but more to devitalise them, break their motors and movement mechanisms, keeping their bodies intact thus protecting the body from the toxins they carry. Once immobilised, it is rather easy for the body to remove them without the collateral damage of toxic overload and nasty herx responses which as you say - limit the amount of frequency sessions a person can have to a non effective level. Sincerely, Ken Uzzell http://heal-me.com.au HealMe Foundation A New Humanity Associate rifing, burst bacteria, & inflammation I am posting this rather interesting release from St. Jude about influenza, pneumonia and inflammation, because there may be a related rifing concept worth considering here. It may be counter-productive (and sometimes even dangerous) in a bacterial infection, to " burst " the bacteria (akin to the common rife idea of " blowing up bugs " as proven under a microscope) - as opposed to debilitating the bacteria in some other way. As the article indicates, burst bacteria can release components into the tissues and bloodstream, which then can sometimes trigger very strong (and sometimes deadly) inflammatory reactions. This is akin to what we see with lyme disease herxing problems in some people. The herx sometimes gets so bad that the person cannot use the technology in what might be an effective way. Maybe future research needs to consider frequencies or power levels that debilitate rather than burst bacteria in all circumstances. The situation may vary from one bacteria to another, or whether the situation is chronic or acute disease. Trying to do everything " fast " or " strong " may not always be in the person's best interest. Perhaps slowing down the bacteria, or hampering its usual life cycle or responses in some way could be other approaches to consider. We see a lot of comments here and there, indicating that people think nothing is happening if they are not getting a herx reaction. This is particularly true in people with lyme complex. Might we want to be asking, does lack of herx necessarily indicate lack of effectiveness? I realize that sometimes people really do *want* to know - or need to know - *something* is happening. But should we equate that as evidence of efficacy? Likewise, would evidence of a " bug blow " under the microscope, indicate best course of action for all in-vivo situations? Food for thought...

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Hi Randy, Rifing every day for seven years? We already have one fatal experience, we don't want anymore! It's not about how your body responds, it's about how other people react to this low level radiation therapy who may not enjoy the level of health you do. I have a client here with nasty tissue damage and slight permanent disabilities from an unskilled operater using too much power in their Rife machine (not mine), in setting the power to a level where it is just bearable. It appears the contact system she was exposed to ruptured lymph vessels in her lower legs. We have a duty of care to other people to educate them on potential problems that can happen with miss-use of some of the more powerful gear. Used with skill and care and you have a miracle maker, abuse it and you can be in trouble.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Hi, Several, not seven. I do not use a contact device, I use a plasma tube device. The principle of the Rife machine is that it disables the bacteria/virus/fungus without affecting human tissue. If contact devices damage human tissue then perhaps they should not be used at all. We are each unique, however I don't think my body's response is fundamentally different than anyone else's response. As you may have read, Rife's term for what he did to germs was " devitalize " . Whether germs " burst " within the human body by using a Rife device is something I doubt anyone has witnessed. Your anecdote about the person with cancer who died after rifing for some hours is on the CAFL website. The person was described as having " advanced terminal cancer " . I'm not sure it is fair to conclude that he died from the rifing rather than the cancer.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Hi cb and Ken: This subject is very delicate. Because some times is like a person walking a high wire, you miss a step and out you are. What I can say is that every person backgroung is different and you have to make some background digging before the starting session. On the minus side: For cancer, is it a fast grow type? Quimio treatments, how long , outcome, etc. Infections. General health status. can walk, etc. Does he/she lives in moldy place, close to water. He/she eats sugar or carbs in any form. Is the kidney in bad status? I pH deep in the acid zone? + On the plus side: Is it a slow grow type of cancer?. No metastasized. Person is in god standing, it loks sharp? Looks healthy? Last quimio was taken 6 month ago or more with no residual problems. Does he/she agrees to follow a cancer diet? Uses Stevia? Is the kidney in good status? pH is close to 7. + I found that weak people take longer to recuperate themselves from a lamp session. They have more herx reactions. It also depends on cancer progression speed. If you go to slow in killing/devitalize the virus the end is obvious. The immune system is the key to the problem. A strong immune will process the dead debris in a very short time and being alert for more. Kidneys should support the cleaning load, usually a walking person will not have serious problems. Others will have to be closely monitored. The other basic info is the ph saliva reading. As you can see, is more a balancing act with the available info.

Dr. Stafford said that he never saw any Herx reactions with his use of the AZ-58 machine.

The idea of a " bug blow " is more of a figure of speech than a reality. Rife said that many organisms weren't visibly affected under the microscope; that's why he called it " devitalization " . In the Rife paradigm, we're not necessarily looking for an actual " bug blow " , but a " devitalization " , which is the elimination of the organism's ability to function and reproduce. Doctors such as Dr. Couche treated all sorts of conditions with real Rife machines that were proved to " blow bugs " . I don't recall reading anything that there was a problem with reactions to components of the organisms, but keep in mind that they didn't treat every day or for hours on end. When someone demonstrates a real Rife machine, it will be interesting to see whether there is a problem with reactions to " blown bugs " .

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I use my EMEM device every day to control what I believe to be a permanent sinus infection, either viral or fungal. If I don't do this every day then I have continual sneezing and runny nose and I cannot breathe at night while trying to sleep. If I use the EMEM device every day then I do not suffer the symptoms. The EMEM use is controlling the symptoms. I have used every suggested frequency for colds, allergies, sinus problems, etc., as well as fungus. If you have some brilliant suggestion as to what to do differently then I'd be glad to hear it.

I suspect that what is being called a Herx reaction is in actuality a negative side effect of too much power and or treatment time. My Question: Hi , Your a pretty clued up health specialist. What in your opinion could be happening when people say they are herxing? Like they feel real bad for a day or two, and for some people with Lyme, they can feel bad for a week or more. These are obvious physiological responses to the frequency therapy session. My observations have been :- No herx (feel bad) when treating herpes virus. 6 hour to 24 hours feel bad for cancer suffers 2 days to 1 week+ feel bad for Lyme disease. These observations came when using my 60 watt 250kHz RF plasma tube system which was sold back in the mid 1990's as Green/Rife. While people could feel bad from this device, improvements in health were outstanding. I sat in on every session and had zero response from it, like Randy had been discussing earlier. It does appear in general, that people who's health is compromised, suffer the " feel bad " symptoms, where people in good health do not have this reaction. Looking at lower powered amplifiers and plasma balls, I haven't heard of one " feel bad " experience with contact electrodes up to a level of 18 volts DC or AC. Improvements in health have been good. The 15 watt 40/50kHz RF novelty plasma balls I work with, I have experienced a slightly runny noise for an hour or so, then felt exceptionally alive and vital about 4 hours later. Responses to the novelty plasma ball have been wide and varied, from numerous people passing worms in their stools about 12 hours later, chronic fatigue seems to disappear, allergy suffers get a huge benefit, herpes disappears quickly, colds and fluey symptoms can go very quickly, nasal polyps discharged from head. Most people here didn't know if it was the frequency device because they didn't experience a herx, or feel bad time. But their positive health experience followed a frequency therapy session.

My Question: Now we know what is a real Rife machine, I.E. variable RF 300kHz to 2MHz gated by a mid range audio signal, has anyone built a device to output this signal via a plasma transmitter or contact electrode system? So we are not looking for " bug blows " but instead the disabling of the microbe. I have heard by past Rife researchers that when they turned on their plasma system, the first thing they noticed was all the bugs stopped moving and slowed right down as the initial response to the transmission, but the researchers got disappointed because they didn't blow-up, like in Jim's videos. Could this mean these researchers are very close to getting what Rife did? Like there are now Radio restrictions on transmissions when using Rife's original machine, and the frequencies he used, but other researchers with plasma frequency machines have stopped the bugs moving and seemed to break their mobility mechanisms with audio frequencies set to harmonics of Rife's original frequencies, and of course, other frequencies not related to Rife work. What appears important here is not to build the original Rife signal, but to have the same effect on microbes that Rife had, and that is to devitalise them and stop them moving and/or reproducing. Would this mean blowing-up microbes is more of a myth and not an important issue?

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hi Randy, One of my clients a few years ago had something like you described, it ended up being an autoimmune disease, which I can't think of the long name it was called. Apparently a membrane between the nasal cavities is meant to have a tiny small hole, but in this person, the hole had grown huge, and the doctors said the body was eating away at itself. The person came to me for a frequency therapy session, and it temporarily cleared up with the plasma ball. I had just been reading about the value of good vitamin C, i.e. one with a delivery system so 80% of the C doesn't turn up in the urine 2 hours after taking it. They fell in love with the vitamin C powder drink, and the nasal drip, sneezing, and difficult time breathing stopped. Don't know if this resolved what doctors called an autoimmune disease and the hole mended itself? I'm out of touch with them now and don't have their contact number. But the body will literally fall apart without enough vit C, tissue will degrade, and people living in a food abundant country like Australia, still get scurvy, says alot about our food in the grocery stores. Nutritional scientists say nutritional deficiency is the cause of all our autoimmune diseases. I would at least try and explore the vit C connection, and get a real good vit C, one that gets into the blood and does the work of healing the body. If only 20% of the C people are supplementing gets into the blood, this may not be enough to effect a healing, and they take more and get loose stools. Get a real good C. I consume about $50 per week of supplements, and my clients think I'm a crazy health nut, but my health is though the roof, even lymphatic vessels that were ruptured in my leg from a recent motor car accident are healing, and this is unheard of. I am in a huge debt to Nenah Sylver who got me thinking about supplements. I'd say most of my early life I was nutrient deficient. When high quality nutrition doesn't heal the body, then Rife is needed.

I suspect that what is being called a Herx reaction is in actuality a negative side effect of too much power and or treatment time. _________ Thanks everyone for comments. Regarding herxheimer reactions, apparently we cannot make sweeping generalizations that encompass all pathogens. A little background can help us here. Herxheimer reactions are indeed quite real, but can vary from one pathogen to another, or may not be present at all. It can also vary from one subject to another, depending on pathogen level and individual immune responses. Historical information is available from several good articles, here is one example (ref 1). (Stars added by me for emphasis). " The Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction The JHR is a classic clinical syndrome in which there is a profound worsening of symptoms immediately following antimicrobial treatment of infection. JHR was first described at the turn of the century in two independent papers by Jarisch (in Vienna) and Herxheimer (in Berlin), in syphilitic patients following treatment with mercury. It is now recognized that similar transient phenomena occur soon after the first dose of an appropriate antibiotic in the treatment of a wide spectrum of infectious diseases. **The most severe form of the reaction is that associated with antibiotic treatment of spirochaetal infection.** The severity of JHR associated with such infections varies considerably; the two infections most precisely studied in this respect are syphilis and louse-borne relapsing fever. " So there appears to be a stronger pattern of obvious herxheimer reactions in instances of infection with certain rickettsial organisms, which includes syphilis and the Borrelia group (see further below). It is possible that Dr. Stafford and even Dr. Rife did not have a lot of experience using their technology against this group of bacteria. But because of the high modern prominence of lyme disease (caused by a Borrelia bacteria), and the number of people using frequency instruments to help alleviate the illness, we should acknowledge at least the possibility of the devices triggering a herx reaction. One of the best characterized models for the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction comes from experience with relapsing fever, caused by various Borrelia species that are vectored by soft-bodied ticks or lice. In particular, louse-borne relapsing fever which is endemic in northern Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Europe, is known to cause strong herx reactions after penicillin is administered. This 1996 article offers further details (ref 2). Please note that the herx reaction to the treatment itself holds an approximate 5% mortality rate: " Louse-borne relapsing fever, caused by Borrelia recurrentis spirochetes, has been responsible for massive epidemics in North Africa, the Middle East, and Europe during this century. The epidemic at the end of World War II involved some 10 million people.1 There is a potential for future epidemics wherever war and the movement of refugees or immigrants threaten a breakdown in public health. Since the mortality rate for untreated louse-borne relapsing fever has reached 70 percent in some epidemics,1 antimicrobial treatment is essential. Although effective in eliminating spirochetes, this treatment precipitates a potentially life-threatening febrile inflammatory reaction in a majority of patients.1,2 Fever plus other characteristic symptoms after chemotherapy was first described in secondary syphilis and has become known as the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction.3,4 This reaction has been described in a variety of bacterial infections, including brucellosis, leptospirosis, Lyme disease, and relapsing fevers. The clinical and pathophysiologic features of the reaction closely resemble those of a classic endotoxin reaction,2 but unlike other types of acute sepsis syndrome, the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction is predictable and less variable in its intensity. One to two hours after treatment with penicillin or tetracycline, patients with louse-borne relapsing fever become restless and apprehensive and intense rigors suddenly develop that last 10 to 30 minutes. The temperature, respiratory and pulse rates, and blood pressure all rise sharply. During the next few hours there is profuse sweating, a fall in blood pressure, and a slow decline in temperature.1,2 The reaction is distressing to the patient and has a case fatality rate of approximately 5 percent.1 Just before symptoms of the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction develop there is a substantial increase in circulating levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF-), interleukin-6, and interleukin-8.5 *We have been impressed by the similarities in clinical features and pathophysiologic and cytokine disturbances between the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction seen in louse-borne relapsing fever and severe sepsis from other causes.* The sepsis syndrome, or " systemic inflammatory response syndrome, " 6 has a case fatality rate of up to 60 percent despite treatment with antimicrobial agents and supportive measures. *Progression from sepsis to life-threatening shock is initiated by endotoxin released from the cell walls of gram-negative bacteria and by other viral, bacterial, protozoal, and fungal pyrogens or toxins.* Studies in animals,7,8,9 healthy humans,10 and patients11 suggest that TNF- is the most important mediator in sepsis but that other cytokines, including interleukin-1, interleukin-6, and interleukin-8, are also released....Clinical trials in patients with septic shock are difficult to conduct because of the heterogeneity of the patients' ages, infectious agents, and underlying disease and uncertainties about the site of infection. This diversity leads to multiple overlapping subgroups of patients unsuitable for statistical comparison.14 " So we see that the complexity and diversity of the herx reactions makes it difficult to arrive at simplistic conclusions applicable to all situations. Using a frequency machine against an E. coli infection versus a Borrelia infection could have a much different outcome not only due to power levels and treatment time, but ALSO due to innate characteristics of the bacteria themselves as well as individual immune inflammatory cytokine responses. I have personally spoken with Borrelia-infected people that get surprisingly severe herx reactions after maybe 10 minutes of of run time, while others do not react nearly so strongly. But I think it would be wrong to ignore those that *do* react strongly. We have fairly solid information here, that inflammatory cytokine responses to certain pathogen components are responsible for these reactions. So the intent of this discussion is to suggest the possibility that perhaps some people and some pathogen situations need more sensitivity in how frequency instrument technology is used. The same " shoe " solution may not fit everyone in the same way. Even an individual pathogen can show vast variation in inducing cytokine/inflammatory/herxheimer response. This is true of influenza A virus - most subtypes and strains are relatively mild (although annoying), but the 1918 subtype had totally different and fatal inflammatory characteristics capable of causing mortality in quite short periods of time. So even in this instance wide generalization cannot be made about the common influenza A virus. A number of respectable people in the field have suggested that a fairly short course of an inexpensive anti-inflammatory medicine (methylprednisolone) could help save lives when lethal influenza strains do surface (fortunately a rare occurrence) - as well as down-regulate the effects of secondary bacterial respiratory infection. As an aside, a group of doctors at the Memphis Lung Research Program (University of Tennessee) have done some very interesting work in this regard. But that's a digression for another time and place! 1) GE. Cytokines involved in human septic shock - the model of the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction.

As you pointed out, many people have positive therapeutic results without a so-called " Herx " reaction, therefore, the positive results are not necessarily related to this effect. I believe that this so-called " Herx " reaction is similar to when your muscles hurt when you over-exert them, or when your ears hurt when exposed to loud music or noise. When people run physiologic frequencies that are within the frequency response of the nervous system, i.e., audio frequencies, and run them for long periods of time and or high power levels, they are over-exerting the system or tissue that the frequencies are acting upon. There is always the possibility that there are some real cases of Herx reaction, but I've seen no hard evidence yet to support this. Almost everyone talks in terms of killing bugs and " Herxing " from the killed bugs, without any hard evidence to support it. Like the lawyer said, " PROVE IT!

I would like to see some evidence, but that aside, close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. ;^) You either devitalize the organism or you don't. > Like there are now Radio restrictions on transmissions when > using Rife's original machine, and the frequencies he > used, but other researchers with plasma frequency machines > have stopped the bugs moving and seemed to break their > mobility mechanisms with audio frequencies set to harmonics > of Rife's original frequencies, and of course, other > frequencies not related to Rife work. People wanting to do real Rife research will probably have to do it in a Faraday cage. I haven't seen anyone with modern equipment present any solid evidence of devitalization of pathogenic microorganisms with audio frequencies. Holland has had some success with pond bugs which is pretty impressive, but I wouldn't characterize it as definitive. > What appears important here is not to build the original > Rife signal, but to have the same effect on microbes that > Rife had, and that is to devitalise them and stop them > moving and/or reproducing. Would this mean blowing-up > microbes is more of a myth and not an important issue? " Blowing-up " microbes is not a myth; some do blow up. But it is only one facet of the more general term of devitalization. I've been saying for a very long time that the result is what's important, not how the result is achieved.
