Hi Raincity,
I like your blog. Your Lyme journey includes so many more camera pixels than mine. Glad you're documenting it like this though.
I have a basic PEMF coil and it does do something, making the area I use it over tingle and I do need to detox some. It runs at 100hz, most general purpose PEMF systems run at frequencies between 10-100hz.
The Doug Coil is a PEMF machine that was built specifically to kill Lyme and many have achieved remission using it. The difference is that it can run at specific frequencies and this is what appears to be necessary to directly kill particular bacteria. 612hz is an example of a Borrelia killing frequency with the Doug Coil.
Here's an interview with the creator of the Doug Coil:

is what do these non-specific frequencies in general purpose PEMF and other frequency machines really accomplish? I'm not convinced that they have a direct bactericidal effect. It may be that they stimulate blood flow and cellular processes that has an indirect effect of killing bacteria.
There is also evidence that these types of frequencies may disrupt biofilm so that could also liberate bacteria that are then killed by the immune system.
PEMF and other frequency devices have great promise but all reports of remission I'm aware of have been achieved using frequencies specific to a person's bacteria strains. They presumably work by killing them through sympathetic resonance.
