One dose of doxycycline can protect most against Lyme borreliosis1,2. An infection with B. burgdorferi genospecies typically produces an erythema migrans rash followed by early disseminated infection with characteristic signs and symptoms; late disease manifestations include Lyme arthritis in the United States or chronica atrophica europea in Europe.
Resonant Frequency Treatments
Royal Raymond Rife pioneered an alternative cancer therapy known as Frequency Modulation that uses plasma ray tubes and radiofrequency electromagnetic fields to emit frequencies that target and kill cancer cells while sparing healthy tissues. Today, numerous protocols use this frequency-based approach developed by Rife for treating various diseases.
Lyme disease typically manifests itself first with an expanding skin lesion known as an erythema migrans rash with bright red outer edges and partial central clearing that features a bull’s-eye pattern in its center. Erythema migrans can appear anywhere on or beneath the surface skin including joints, heart valves, brain or nervous systems.
In most cases, an erythema migrans is the only outward manifestation of tick-borne illnesses, though other symptoms may manifest later – from joint pain to neuroborreliosis symptoms like meningitis, encephalopathy and facial nerve damage. Furthermore, symptoms may affect cardiovascular systems and digestive tracts.
Though B. burgdorferi spirochetes may evade immune detection by their host through expression of CRASPs and antigenic variation of surface lipoproteins, most infections still result in inflammation at multiple sites within the host’s body resulting in stage 2 and 3 manifestations of Lyme disease; specifically arthritis in North America or atypical neurologic presentations in Europe.
Early Lyme disease usually responds well to antibiotic treatment, often consisting of both penicillins and doxycycline or just the latter alone. Without treatment, however, some individuals develop post-infectious, antibiotic-refractory Lyme disease with persistently proliferative synovitis that lasts months or even years, often associated with increased levels of cytokines, immune dysregulation, infection-induced autoimmunity, retained bacterial antigens and persistently proliferative synovitis.
Some patients reported developing autoimmune conditions within weeks or months following Lyme neuroborreliosis, including chronic idiopathic demyelinating polyneuropathy176 and cerebral vasculitis177; however, their prevalence remains low and no comparative studies have been performed; this work was funded by the National Institutes of Health with no conflict of interests between author(s).
Rife Therapy for Lyme Disease
Lyme borreliosis is caused by tick bites carrying Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria. Following their attachment, these pathogenic organisms penetrate skin cells and adhere to them allowing the bacteria to evade immune defenses while persisting within tissues throughout the body.
In the United States, most cases of Lyme disease are linked to B. burgdorferi infections; symptoms typically begin with an expanding skin lesion called an erythema migrans that appears at or around the site of tick bite (Fig 1). Erythema migrans occurs in approximately 80% of Lyme patients and often precedes fatigue, headaches, fevers, arthralgias, myalgias and lymphadenopathy; in 10% however it goes undetected and symptoms remain; most often leading them onto early or late disseminated forms of Lyme disease later.
Untreated patients with erythema migrans who remain untreated often progress into early disseminated Lyme disease, typically manifesting itself with either Lyme arthritis (stage 2) or neurological symptoms of cranial neuroborreliosis (stage 3). Although antibiotic therapy often stops this progression, recurrences of joint symptoms or neurological dysfunctions may still occur over time.
Treatment with recommended antibiotics (doxycycline or combination of doxycycline and penicillin G) usually results in improvement within months for those suffering from early Lyme disease symptoms, including erythema migrans and Lyme arthritis. Antibiotic use also shortens duration of cranial neuroborreliosis while often preventing late manifestations such as cranial nerve palsy or paralysis of extremities 101.
Few patients with relapsing cranial neuroborreliosis, specifically those suffering from cranial nerve palsy, do not respond to antibiotic treatment; however, most with this condition do improve after receiving another course of oral doxycycline and other oral or intravenous antibiotics; according to anecdotal reports twice-daily dooxycycline may be more effective at relieving facial nerve weakness than once daily doxcycline.
Rife Therapy Treatments
Royal Raymond Rife first introduced his concept of electromagnetic frequencies that could selectively destroy cancerous cells during the 1930s. His theory suggested that each cell, including cancerous ones, possessed its own electromagnetic frequency that could be used to selectively destroy unhealthy ones without harming healthy ones. Rife machine has since become an intriguing alternative treatment option.
At first, most patients suffering from erythema migrans will eventually recover without antibiotics; however, their recovery can be significantly hampered or interrupted if the bacteria spread beyond its initial site and into deeper tissues, potentially leading to chronic joint inflammation (Lyme arthritis), nerve damage in the brain and spinal cord, as well as heart conditions.
Studies suggest that many later manifestations have been caused by B. burgdorferi reactivating within the body, and several studies support using antibiotics as a form of treatment (9, 100). Tetracyclines and most beta-lactam antibiotics appear effective against it; amoxicillin/clarithromycin or azithromycin appears especially useful against its most prevalent strain (9).
Late Lyme disease typically manifests itself through chronic joint inflammation that persists despite appropriate antibiotic treatment, even with appropriate measures taken such as intra-articular corticosteroid injections or NSAIDs; most adults usually find relief using anti-inflammatories like NSAIDs or intra-articular corticosteroid injections alone; in rare instances DMARDs may be necessary. Persistence may also be related to TLR1 and TLR2 expression on host cells that trigger pro-inflammatory responses in affected joint.
Rife therapy may help alleviate the symptoms of chronic Lyme disease by killing off detrimental micro-organisms, maintaining normal cell health and blood function, and improving oxygen transportability of cells. Cranial manipulations or noninvasive therapies may reduce pressure on brain and nerves to alleviate headaches and depression; some studies even indicate dietary interventions can enhance antimicrobial treatments by supporting natural immunity mechanisms within our bodies.
Rife Therapy Treatment Options
For decades, it was believed that Lyme disease was caused by one infectious agent, Borrelia. Since that time, however, many people with Lyme have received negative standard blood tests and this assumption may no longer hold. Studies show that many symptoms associated with co infections like Babesia, Bartonella and Ehrlichia could contribute. Furthermore, human proteins shared with several of these microbes may indicate either production directly by them or result from their actions on our genomes.
Lyme disease-causing bacteria also produce lipoproteins that stimulate inflammatory responses in human cells and worsen symptoms associated with fibromyalgia, migraine headache, depression, ADHD/ADD/ADHD, and other neurological problems. Lipoproteins produced by these bacteria have also been identified in brain tissue samples from people diagnosed with Lyme neuroborreliosis – an infection typically caused by B. garinii but one study also implicating B. afzelii as the source.
Erythema migrans typically resolves itself without antibiotic therapy; however, treatment can reduce the duration and spread of an infection, as well as further manifestations. Anti-inflammatories and intra-articular corticosteroids have proven highly effective at relieving joint inflammation associated with Lyme arthritis.
Some patients on the Marshall Protocol experience what’s known as a herxheimer reaction – an increase in symptoms caused by their immune system’s attempt to fight off bacteria load and pathogens – shortly after beginning antibiotic treatments. Homeopathic and botanical remedies have been shown to strengthen immune response, potentiate antibiotics more effectively, weaken bacterial biofilms (as revealed through laboratory experiments), which helps mitigate herxheimer reactions significantly and minimize them altogether.
