IV ABX or Rife?

I usually dont like to come to these board and burden other people with my problems but Id like some advice. Im a year into treating this monster and have no improvement. I was only sick for 6 months when diagnosed so I never thought id be that hard for me to recover

To be fair Ive switched treatments around a bit. I was on oral abx for the first few months and stopped after I saw no herx or improvement.

Went to IV ABX, it was hell but after three months I noticed tremendous improvement and thought I was on the road to remission.

Doctor took me off of the IV ABX and put me on a rife machine and the salt protocol. Ive been doing the Rife for over three months now, but Im very concerned.

The first day I did the rife I had a very noticeable herx, but I just kept getting worse so a few weeks ago I got off the rife thinking Id take a break and feel better. When I got off the rife I became terrible, I her x'd non stop and couldn't even keep my food down. I have since started the rife back up and the herxing has improved but it worries me that if I dont use this machine to treat now I feel as if I'm dying.

I realize none of us are doctors here and I dont want to bail on the rife machine too soon but Im wondering if I should try to get back on the IV ABX and stick with it. Putting IV ABX into my system over a long period of time has frightened me especially with the relapse rate but Ive been doing terrible since starting the rife machine. Anyone with advice?

My naturopathic doctor said that it works for some people and for others it doesn't.

She had one patient who came in and had the bio-energetic assessment (BEA). The second time around the patient said she felt so much better using the rife machine. But according to the BEA second time around she actually had higher levels of the bacteria. The naturopath was worried that it was driving the bacteria deeper into the tissues.

She hasn't seen the patient since but is really curious how everything is because of the second BEA. It is an interesting theory but many people have sworn by the rife.

I guess just like everything else it depends on the person.

Sorry I don't have more information. I hope you find something that helps.

Lymelight, My husband used the Rife machine for a long time before switching to the chiropractor who has been treating him. I believe - and this is just a personal opinion - the machines kept his ALS symptoms from progressing. We only stopped because we wanted to try this other doctor and Toby couldn't take time off work to do both. We will go back to use the machines - they have different types like the Doug Coil - when we can. So many people who go to this place have been helped and we know two people, other than Toby, who suffer from Lyme and use them. The people who run it are wonderful. It is staffed by volunteers and by donation only. If you would like to talk to the person at the center who is very knowledgeable about Rife, write to me and I will give you its phone number.
