My Lyme Treatment Without Antibiotics

How you could cure Lyme on a Dime

I had Lyme Complex Disease, diagnosed by dark field live blood analysis in its chronic form. You could see the spirochetes and cysts under the microscope in my blood and damages to the blood cells that they caused. I had been bitten at least 6 months previously but had no rash or fever. I had also been bitten a couple of years previously for which I did have fever and did take doxycycline for 20 days. I don’t know which incident caused the active chronic Lyme.

Symptoms that drove me to the doctor again were severe fatigue, shortness of breath, horrible tearing joint pains, memory loss and being prone to collapse... and a lot of other lessor symptoms including restless legs, foot pain, heart fluttering. My diagnosis was made by dark field live blood analysis in a Naturopathic doctor's office under the advisement of an MD that worked there at the time. 

I devised my own treatment protocol because I couldn’t afford their expensive IV treatments protocols that were recommended nor could I endure the 110 mile drive to their office.

 I used colloidal silver ( https://www.nutranawellness.com ) at 3,600ppm) for 3.5 months which was helpful to a degree. I found this silver very effective for blood born candida which was seen in the blood analysis, also. I also used Marcozyme enzymes to break open the Lyme cysts and then I took  the colloidal silver one hour after the enzymes, 3 times a day to go after the Lyme that comes out of the dissolving cysts. This was part of the naturopaths general protocol. I did the silver and the enzymes for about 3.5 months. When using the enzymes you must separate them from from all food. They must go directly into the blood and not be digesting food in the gut. I would set them out on my bedside table and do the first doses before getting up in the morning.

After week 7.5 of this protocol I went back for another dark filed live blood analysis. Lyme was was no longer seen in my blood and the candida was totally gone, but I still felt ill and still had Lyme symptoms, although improved but not seeing Lyme in the blood isn’t conclusive that it is fully gone.  My joint pain was gone. My mental functions were much better and eliminating the candida from my blood may have played a significant role in that improvement and my shortness of breath was significantly reduced.

I was able to cook dinner now at least without collapsing.

Regarding candida: Many people who have taken antibiotics have candida issues. It can enter the blood stream and also lodge in different parts of the body. It enters the blood stream via the gut because the gut has been damaged by the antibiotics allowing for the candida to move into the gut wall and set up housekeeping. It makes the gut wall porous, which allows for the candida to enter the blood stream. Other things from the gut may also enter the blood stream and this may be the point of origin for some allergies and other immune system issues. After my course of colloidal silver I never had any more candida gut issues. The candida never returned to my blood which tells me the gut walls are healed.

I also had Bartonella symptoms. At this point at 7.5 weeks I added Rife treatments using the Rife machine GB4000 with MOPA amp. It took me a good 7.5 weeks to find a used Rife and have it shipped from Canada. I purchased it off of Craig’s list. Do searches in all the major cities to find one, or just purchase a new one if you can afford it. Google GB4000 with MOPA. 

I developed a set of frequencies to use with the assist of others who had effectively treated their Lyme with Rife. From the day of diagnosis I also treated with Ozone RI, VI, ear insufflation and Sauna. I did VI (vaginal ozone insufflation) daily, often for 2 or 3 hours a day. The other applications I mixed daily though out the week. These protocols along with coffee enemas really helped with the sometimes painful, energy sucking and debilitating die off reactions caused by neurotoxins from the bacteria as they die. The ozone really helped me to feel better on a daily basis but I could see after a time that this protocol was not curative. I used colloidal silver for 3.5 months at very high dosages but I still was not getting fully well, but combined with rife I was getting much better. I had my mind back and most of my strength.

I used coffee enemas for headaches from detox and chlorella to help bind and detox poisons. I also used Barlow's LDM - Lomatium dissectum extract to boost my immune system for the first 3 months.

In the very beginning I had severe jaw, gum and tooth pain and it was actually an issue months before I knew I had chronic Lyme disease. MMS mouthwashes eliminated this in short order.. maybe a week or two. It's worth making note that my research found that MMS (Chlorine Dioxide) did cure some people of lyme disease and co-infections.  Although I was very familiar with MMS I chose Rife and Colloidal Silver instead as I felt I could be more compliant with the treatment protocol.  If money is an issue MMS should absolutely be seriously considered.

Because Lyme runs down the immune system so drastically, on my second blood exam lots of parasites were seen in the blood. I treated these with Barlow's parasite tincture called Clarkia and felt much better after about 2 weeks, although it gave me quite a head ache for the first 5 days from detox.  I had to take a reduced dosage for about 4 or 5 days until I could tolerate the full dosage. Coffee enemas help a lot.

By the beginning of the 4th month I still could tell I had Lyme but it was much better. I was now traveling and able to keep up. I was able to bring my MOPA with me as we traveled in a large travel trailer. I also had to treat for Bartonella which could be seen in the blood also. My doc said that he couldn't be sure if it was Bart or Babesia but my clinical symptoms directed me to Bart. Colloidal Silver did not help with the Bart as the symptoms continued over time unchanged while on the silver, but the shortness of breath did improve somewhat in the first few months which could have been a reduction in Lyme or Bart. Bart attacks the RBCs more so than Lyme does.

When I started to focus on Rife frequencies for Bart it went away in a few weeks. Bart needs to be treated twice a day due to its replication rate. If your Bart is very bad do shorter sessions, but twice a day. Bart detox may be accompanied by difficult mood swings including anger.. so watch out for that.

As Bart and Lyme got better other symptoms that I had from the start got much worse, to the point of really painful. This was confusing to me. A friend suggested that I give mycoplasma frequencies a try. This appears to have cured it so I am assuming I had mycoplasma. The frequencies are generally pretty specific per pathogen. Mycoplasma symptoms for me were restless leg, swelling in the lymphatics on inner thighs and groin and sharp stabbing pains in the thighs. This happens to be the area where I received the tick bite.

I am quite well today without the use of any conventional antibiotics.

I wouldn’t trust ozone therapy to cure Lyme, unless maybe if I had access to the 10 pass ozone protocol. It’s pretty expensive. I know a lot of people who use ozone for Lyme and reports of cure are far and few between and I'm even skeptical of those but it will help to boost your immune system and alleviate detox symptoms. Perhaps if you could do DIV (direct intravenous ozone) 3 times a week it might work but you would have to do it for a long time I suspect. Lyme replicates at least twice a week but the cysts present other issues.

Because Lyme and their co-infections are so mysterious I still rife once a week at one year post my assumed cure. I don't want any back sliding, but I have considered myself cured now for the last year. I did Rife treatments intensively for at least one year, totally leaving behind all the other treatments at 4 months.

These are the frequencies I used:

Lyme Frequencies:

612, 2016, 432, and the frequency 840.6 which is believed to be specific for the cyst or some other more difficult form in the central nervous system. 

When I finally added the 840.6 frequency I found it very helpful for the Neuro symptoms of twitching and shuddering in my spinal column. I had been into at least 6 months of treatment before I learned about it. It would cause a die off reaction of more twitching.. If this happens to you stop running the frequency and wait until this detox symptom passes, and that may take days or a week or two, then run the frequency again a few times and repeat the process. Running this frequency made me twitch in the following days, and most notable at night. Eventually all twitching would stop and then I knew it was time to run the frequency again. After about a month of this the neuro symptoms and twitching fully stopped.  I believe this pretty much ended my Neuro Lyme.

About 5 months later we went traveling with our camper. I was feeling pretty confident and left the rife machine home as we traveled Arizona. Then one night the neuro symptoms in my spine started again giving me some pretty good jolts, which usually happened after I went to bed. After a few days of this I decided to rent a car and drive back to Idaho to get my machine. With about two to three weeks of treatment I was well again.

Bartonella H frequency:

832 (and I always run it with the Lyme group even if no symptoms). You may have Bart. Q. so test for that, as it will require a different frequency.

Mycoplasma Frequencies: Group 1 = 688, 690, 880.2, 254, 642, 644, 660, 690

Group 2 = 864, 986, 2,900, 688, 690, 880.2

Start the sessions for only a couple of minutes each. If you are very, very sick start with one minute. See how you react. Strong herx reactions may require support in detox and appropriate time spacing in treatments.  In a short time I was running them for 30 to 45 minutes each on carrier wave 3.300 as my detox reactions were tolerable.  Having the MOPA is nice because you can turn it on and go to bed. It’s also the way to go if you are treating children with Lyme as there are no attached cords. The simply can play on the floor in front of the light during the day or place it over them at night when they sleep.

Over the course of 3 years after I considered my lyme treatment done I’ve had three dark field live blood exams and no lyme, parasites or candida has been seen.

My total cost for my treatment including the Rife Machine ($2,800 used from Craig’s list) was $3,400. I will never give up my ozone and Rife machines. If you choose to get an ozone machine it will be at least 1,000 dollars for a medical grade one. Since I had been certified in ozone therapy some years before I got Lyme I didn’t include it in my expense as I already had one. If I had done the protocols the naturopath wanted me to do it would have cost upward of 10,000 out of pocket. Many people have spent upwards of 50 to 100 thousand dollars trying to treat Lyme through conventional medicine. So this is why I consider my treatment “on a dime”. Get out that credit card and use it if you must. The potential rewards are worth the risk.

The clinic that helped me with diagnosis and some treatment protocols is located in Pocatello, Idaho. I believe that diagnostics via Igenix and western blot are deceptive and NOT NECESSARY. Look into dark field live blood microscopy. There are many youtube videos on dark field and more and more doctors are using it. Mostly naturopaths perform the test but some medical doctors who are into alternative medicine do it also. Naturopaths often provide this test as well as some Functional Medicine doctors.

Hope this is helpful to you.

Addendum: No one, absolutely no one can tell you if you are cured or not, regardless of what type of treatment that you use or what test that you do. I recommend that those who follow a Rife protocol continue rifing at least every two weeks after they believe that they are well. That being said, I go for months now (and then years) without treatments.

April 3, 2022 ~ Reflections 

I only severely herxed the first couple of times I Rifed and it was not with a GB4000, but another machine that I don’t remember the name of which I had borrowed and only used a few times. It took me almost 2 years to get cured. I never herxed after that first week except when I introduced a specific new frequency for lyme in the central nervous system, yet I could feel the changes in me after a treatment if the lyme was starting to surface again. For instance, one time I went for a few weeks without treatment and I could feel the lyme pain return in my arms. After a treatment or two it would be gone. No herx. Over time I came to realize that to make progress it was best to treat at least 3 times a week. I have confirmed multiple times that my lyme is gone via dark field live blood analysis. Towards the end of my process, when I was finally introduced to the frequency 840.6, my herx would actually be a tremor or shocking feeling in my spinal column after treatment. Some people have said that this frequency is specific to lyme in the central nervous system and I believe them. The shocking sensations I believe is a chemical reaction to the degeneration of the spirochete upon the nerves.

I should check and see if that frequency was delivered in that first preprogrammed machine I used because the herx in my spine was just about horrific then and I felt most of it in my spine!

The herx the result of dye off which creates neurotoxins in the nervous system. When you herx it’s best not repeat a treatment with that frequency until all those jolts stop, which for me was usually in a couple of days. They jolts were not constant. They came and went. It seemed like getting the Lyme out of my central nervous system presented with very specific reactions. Finally, when I herxed from that frequency no more, I stopped using it, which was after about 2 or 3 months. Then I had a relapse and had some very bad jolts about 6 months later so I went through the process again I’ve not had a relapse now in at least 8 years. Over time I learned not to fear Lyme and to understand that the frequencies were working with or without herx. Although Lyme can have many other complications that individuals may have to iron out, this is how I did it. I believe Rife could and should be the backbone of any treatment protocol.

UPDATE February 11, 2024

A few weeks ago I started to get short of breath which was one of my leading lyme symptoms in the past, a symptom that came before the arthritis. So I went and got my blood checked again by dark field live blood analysis. Yep.. We found some Lyme. Ive kind of lost track of the years but I have been well over 10 years now from Lyme. So I started to do the frequencies again and in less than a week the shortness of breath is gone and and I’m feeling well. Some say that you can never fully get rid of the disease and that when other medical problems or stress arises it may return. Right at the time that I started getting short of breath was when I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer.. so there ya have it. Im now using my rife machine to deliver Rife’s original cancer frequencies, as well as taking Ivermectin and fenbendazole. Maybe I’ll be writing another blog post about my success with this too one of these days.
