Title: Rife Machine ?
Post by Dave_Emond on Dec 27^th, 2006, 5:26pm

Hello All,
Desperate for anything I can find as I find my health in all areas going downhill fast. Has anyone ever had any experience of any type regarding the use of a Rife Machine? Anything from the $100 home built to the $5,000 top of the line machines? Tried it yourself or know of some who has tried it? Would go into further details I've heard, but can only try to type short messages anymore.
Thanks for any help you might have to share,
Dave

Dave, it is good to see you post :)

I'm sorry to say I can't help with your inquery except to say that I have known people who swear by them , but also people that claim it is the height of quackery.

I do know that old freq gens can be had pretty cheaply and converted using pads similar to those that come with Tens units.

Wishing you all our best......Tim and Linda

I'm pretty sceptical, although I have had no direct experience. I saw some of the less expensive ones that were software based - hook a stereo-amp to the computer, and output sound of a particular frequency.

Hi Dave good to see you posting.

I use a TENS machine on the ganglion lump; it helps but it doesn’t kill the CH like o2 can, my guess is that the rife machine would do a similar job but I wouldn’t pay more than Aus $100 for one.
You can pick up new TENS machines for Aus $50 now similar to mine that I paid Aus $300 for 15 years ago.

Cheers

This is what a Rife machine looks like.

DAVE!!!
Good to see you post brotherman. I have no experience with rife or tens units, but I hope you can find one quick and it gives you some relief. I've been wondering how you've been and hoping for the best.
Remember, if you ever need to talk, I got an ear.

Peace,
Carl D

It's good to hear from my friends as well!
Hope you are all doing well.
I'm somewhat skeptical myself about this Rife Machine too and don't expect it would help with CH at all. But, there have been many other problems coming up that I'd like to believe there is just as much chance some of them could possibly be healing as much as they could mean I'm on my way out soon. Some areas of concern are:
Left arm has been numb for a couple months now as well as my right hand fingers. Can still use them, no pain, just feels like they are alseep. (Broken all my glasses and some dishes when I forget how to carry things.) :P
Many memory losses, sometimes days or even weeks. (Have to look in my trash can to see if I'd been eating during those lapses.)
Recently went 10 days where 90% of my stool was just pure blood and would have to be on the pot at least every 20 to maybe 40 minutes. Most of that seems to be slowing down now and is only occasionally.
But, then I had another 3 and a half days of spitting up mouthfuls of blood almost constantly. I think this was coming from my throat.
Been passing out quite often without warning, seems to last anywhere from 10 minutes to hours. When I come around I'll be in a Cluster attack and takes me a while to just remember my name, where I am, etc. Wish I'd at least feel like these would give me rest feelings of sleep, but they don't.
When I do feel like I might sleep I have to tie string to my toes as both my legs very often cramp up so tight, I have to pull on the strings pretty hard to try to strech out the cramps. (That is real fun!) :-/
There are many more problems, but can't go into because another area is just trying to write this much, I'm already sweating like mad and getting hunched over in too much pain. (Already have lost my right oblique muscles and now the left side I can feel separating as well ... about the top quarter is already peeling away.)
Please forget about me going to the hospital, they've already thrown in the towel. I haven't yet though and don't plan to, will keep fighting each day.
Appeciate all the replies and well wishes. Keep your eyes and ears open for anything thing you might hear, good or bad about this machine. I'd have to save up just to get the $100 home build kit. So, I don't want to waste money, but am getting frustrated and a bit desperate.
Have to stop now, maybe over time I can get some personal mail to you all.
Thanks for the help and support and have a great holiday season :)
Dave
