What About Rife Machine Therapy?
What about rife machine therapy? Isn’t rife machine therapy an important approach to healing from Lyme disease? After all, my first book, Lyme Disease and Rife Machines, advocated rife machine therapy as a primary treatment. How does rife machine therapy fit into the Antibiotic Rotation Protocol?
My current position on this topic is that rife machine therapy is still the single best therapy for a certain part of the recovery process, specifically, killing mature, free-swimming spirochetes. Most people experience a dominance of these kinds of spirochetes during the early phases of their infection and before they are 90% recovered. And, rife machine therapy may be one of the only treatments which can remove these spirochetes without causing the to convert into more dangerous, defensive bacterial forms. So, if a person is just starting off in their Lyme disease treatment, rife therapy may be one of the most useful treatments they can use.
However, later in the recovery process, it seems to be the case that these spirochetes fade into the background and are replaced by other forms of Borrelia and co-infections, such as Bartonella, Babesia, and parasites, and these infections become more entrenched and sequestered behind biofilm and tightly-packed colonies. Based on the available research, rife machine therapy in its current forms may provide some help here, but it is not adequate to completely address these kinds of issues. Furthermore, many other problems unrelated to infections also appear to puncuate the final phases of recovery – problems such as mold exposure, adrenal fatigue, hormonal imbalances, etc. These other problems cannot be addressed by rife therapy alone.
This doesn’t mean that rife machine therapy should be abandoned after a person reaches their final phases of healing. Rife therapy probably has some effect (the degree to which is unknown) on co-infections. Also, up until the very end, spirochetes will spontaneously emerge from the colonies, and great improvement will be felt when the rife machine therapy is applied at the right time. As noted, this anti-spirochete effect may be needed less often toward the end of recovery, but when needed, rife therapy is absolutely indispensable.
And there’s one more thing. There are still a lot of unknowns surrounding rife therapy, so it may provide benefits we don’t yet understand, and we can’t yet quantify. For example, I believe that for both known and unknown reasons at various points of the recovery process, rife machine therapy exerts a powerful, spontaneous, and tremendously useful effect which can greatly weaken entire infective colonies – including Borrelia, co-infections, and even biofilm. This spontaneous effect may be different from the other effect that rife has; it may be an unknown benefit which hasn’t been studied or well-documented. So, it’s not easy for us to quantify exactly what rife therapy is doing and how useful it can be during the final phases of healing. Much of this area of study remains experimental (Rosner 2014, 103-104)..
The Limitations Of Rife Therapy
If you’re one of the people who has experienced complete, 100% healing from Rife machine therapy, that’s wonderful! This chapter is not here to nullify your story. Like you, others have reported positive outcomes using rife therapy. However, there are those who have been less successful and for whom other pieces of the puzzle need to be identified and adressed.
After several years of additional study since my Rife book was published, I have come to realize that we know even less about electromedicine asi it is used for Lyme disease than I had previously thought. While I do believe that one of the primary reasons rife therapy works is still the original explanation Doug MacLean (and Rife himself) provided for us (simply that certain frequencies are capable of vibrating, or resonating, spirochetes to death), I now believe that there are many other factors which determine the kind of results people are able to attain with rife therapy. Rife therapy has inadequacies that we must examine, and some of these weaknesses have more to do with the infections than with the rife devices themselves. Some of this new information has only come to light over recent years, as we’ve gained much more knowledge about what it means to have Lyme disease.

Once the body has been infected with Lyme disease and co-infections, these microbes create colony-like structures which are protected from the immune system by biofilm membranes. Inside these colonies there exits an advanced network of different kinds of bacteria, parasites, viruses, and microorganisms, including Borrelia, Bartonella, Babesia, parasites, and more. The colonies also contain diseased human tissue, toxic waste, heavy metals, dead microorganisms, and other components. As a community, the microorganisms inside these colony structures are synergistically beneficial to one another, and even communicate with one another via mechanisms such as quorum sensing{quorum sensing???}. When you begin to treath one particular species of microorganism with a given drug, herb, or electromedicine approach, other species quickly sense the weakening of the colony structure and respond by increasing their own growth and profileration activities. A fellow researcher, and friend, has decribed this process as ”filling the vacuum”: onece a vacuum is created by a loss of the presence of one kind of microorganism, that vacuum is quickly filled by another microorganism. He also jokingly described this process as the ”musical chairs,” and the ”merry go round” of treating Lyme disease; as soon as you get handle on one infection, another quickly rises up to become dominant, and the colony structure remains intact.
We just aren’t sure how many of these numerous ingredients inside each infective colony are susceptible to rife therapy. Or, if they are susceptible, we wonder, to which type of rife machine are they most susceptile? Does the frequency always matter, or are there other components of the treatment which also help, such as the elctric or magnetic field? Which kind of device works best – a contact device or a radiant device? The answer is most likely that each type of machine has a time and a place when it is most useful. Still, the trouble remains. Electromedicine may in fact be great for some problems (like active, free-swimming spirochets) but may not be nearly as effective for other problems (like biofilm, other oganisms, toxins, and poor circulation to dieseased tissue).[…] Rife therapy turns out to be one of the many tools in the toolbox. For many people, it is one of the most useful tools, but, nonetheless, it’s still just a single tool.
A top Lume Doctor has identified more than a dozen factors which may be a part of the complete Lyme disease picture, including such things as infections, allergies, endocrine abnormalities, liver dysfunction, immune dysfunction, inflammation, enviromental toxins, and more. In my opinion, Rife therapy can’t address all of these problems, and for that matter, no single therapy can. […] So, it is clear that infections aren’t the only thing keeping people sick. Accordingly, rife therapy isn’t the only treatment needed to get well. […] Since I wrote Lyme Disease and Rife Machines, new frequencies, devices, and treatment protocols have been developed. While these new modalities are helpful, it is clear that they are still not a silver bullet. In fact, due to the multifactorial nature of Lyme disease, we can confidently say that no such silver bullet exists. […]
Don’t give up on rife therapy yet, though! Treatment of the free-swimming, spirochete from Borrelia appear to be on of the strenghts of rife therapy. Adn, rife therapy, in its many forms with its many frequencies, may also be able to go beyond merely treating the spirochete form of the infection. […] In summary, rife works great at killing spirochetes and greatly slowing down the progress of the infections; it even reverses some of them. Rife is the treatment that initially gave back my life and allowed me to re-enter society as a functioning, productive person. […] Many top Lyme doctors have concluded that Borrelia itself becomes much more vulnerable to treatment after the co-infections are addressed. So, after using herbs or drugs for co-infections, you may find that rife therapy is again useful, as new layers of Borrelia become exposed and active. This shifting dynamic of which treatment are most useful becomes more and more common the closer you get to being welll, so make sure that you keep your treatment plan and thinking patterns flexible and adaptable. Things are likely to change a lot during the final phases of recovery.
A simple rule to apply if you are no longer responding positively to rife therapy is to treat co-infections with drugs or herbs for a period of time, and then return to rife therapy. You will likely find that rife therapy will again become useful after doing this. The same goes for non-infectious problems, such as heavy metals. Sometimes, after detoxing heavy metals, a person will notice that their Borrelia infection is much more vulnerable and susceptible to treatment.
How Many Devieces Do You Need?
[…] The reason is that different types of devices provide a slightly (or in some cases, extremely) different type of treatment output. Some devices are contact devices; some are radiant. Some use plasma tubes; others use a coil or wire. Some have a magnetic field; others only have an electric field. Some are capable of high frewuencies; others are not. […] Current research indicates that each divice probably targets the infection(s) in a slightly different way. As we’ve seen, the infections have very divers colony strutctures which include biofilm, spirochetes, cyst-form organisms, L-form/cell-wall-deficient organisms, co-infections, and others, and each colony is located in a different body tissue or body environment. Some colonies may be more densely populated than others. […] Accordingly, informal research seems to indicate that each type of rife device targets the colonies in a slightly different way. The problem is that we do not always know the specific effects that a given device will have on the colonies.
An Important Revision to the Theory Presented in My Earlier Book.
[…] it is still true that we want to allow dormant, suppressed, inactive layers to activate, and the waiting game (wait for the bacterial layers to activate out of dormancy and kill them with rife therapy as that happens) is sometimes effective in accomplishing this. The problem is, the dormant layers of Borrelia sometimes activate much more slowly than I had previously thought […]
Therefore, as of writing of this book, my current observation is that it can be very, very helpful to employ special treatments which may increase the rate of activation of dormant layers. In fact, doing this can be one of the most important aspects of a successful recovery. Forcing dormant layers to activate dosen’t just increase the effectiveness of rife therapy, it may also increase the effectiviness of many other therapies targeted toward the other infections, and even non-infectious problems. The trouble is, treatments which can accomplish this are few…
[…] In a phone conversation I had recently with a Lyme doctor and friend, he told me that his own recovery took place after he intermittently used intravenous antibiotics. He would use IV antibiotics for about 3 months, and then take a 3 month break, and then repeat. He did this several times before he got well. After each course of tretment, he waited to begin the next course until he experienced what he described as ”full relapse.”
To further drive home the necessity of activating dormant layers of infection, I’ll quote a rife machine inventor who was among the first to use rife-like therapy for Lyme disease. This gentleman prefers his name to be witheld from the public spotlight, but he once told me, ”My machine will take you as far as you can go.” At the time, I wondered what he meant. I asked myself, ”Well, how far can I go? Why can’t I go all the way? What is the limiting factor? How can a machine work to kill some, but not all, of the infection? Now the picture is clearer to me. The limitng factor is the activation of dormant layers of infection. ”As far as I can go” is determined by the amount of dormant infection I can succesfully reach and kill.
In fact, I hypothesize that the ability to activate dormant layers of the infection really is the most important bottleneck in the recovery process. In other words, the limiting factor rate of recovery is how quilckly dormant layers can be activated. While it is ture that you wouldn’t want to activate them too quickly, the opposite problem is often seen; that is, they activate too slowly. Most of our powerful treatments, including rife therapy, just don’t work on the dormant layers. There can be many reasons for this, including the fact that dormant layers are likely protected by biofilm and other imprenetrable shileds. It probably isn’t going too far to hypothesize that the whole concept of ”dormant layers” and ”layers of the onion” is nothing more than our way of coneptualizing a singular phenomenon: biofilm. Maybe, biofilm is the whole problem. Perhaps, if biofilm didn’t exist, Lyme could be wiped out quickly and easily. I personally believe that biofilm is a huge part of the problem, but there are also other aspects which define dormant layers and which cause them to be out of reach of our treatments.
In any case, the conclusion is clear: Treatments which can provide reliable activation of dormant layers and/or penetration through biofilm carry a tremendous importance and premium, are very rare, and should be sought, if at all possible. They should also be used with great caution and preparation (Rosner 2014, 236-249).
