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.

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.

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...

Best wishes,

Char

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.

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.

G'day

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.

A more fundamental question that needs to be asked is whether what is being

called a Herx reaction really is a Herx reaction? Dr. Stafford said that he

never saw any Herx reactions with his use of the AZ-58 machine. I've never seen

anyone present any evidence of the actuality of Herx reactions from the use of

the modern frequency machines; it's just something that was proposed and then

parroted by everyone. 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.

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 " .

Can you explain why you've been " rifing " every day for several years? Perhaps

you should consider that what you're doing isn't working.

Who told you this? This is totally incorrect. Some of the modulated RF systems

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.

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.

whether there is a problem with reactions to " blown bugs " .

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?

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.

_________

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!

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! "

Jim s is the only person I know of who has built prototypes that fit the

bill, with Jeff Garff following his trail. I'm slowly getting parts together

and studying to eventually build one myself.

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.

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.

" 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.
