BOOK REVIEW BY CHRIS GUPTA:
Lyme Disease & Rife Machines By Bryan Rosner, is a unique book that
demonstrates what lay people can do, but the billion dollar medical
industry can't or won't do. This example, clearly affirms the "self
empowerment theme" of "Share the Wealth" site.
An erudite balance between electromedical, mainstream and alternate
approaches in dealing with disease. A profound piece of work that is
sure to educate all regardless, wether one is interested in Lyme
disease or not. This includes many " so called experts and
professionals" who could learn considerably form this
information/situation as well!
It is a sad commentary, on the age old paradigm, on how the media,
health industry, and governments* all in tow by the big pharma, have
so successfully brainwashed most of us into thinking that we are
incapable of thinking for ourselves. This paternal approach is
probably the most effective control mechanism known and is exploited
to the hilt by all vested interests. It has done more to squelch
creativity and self empowerment than anything else.
The profitable love affair to control/hide symptoms rather then
restoring the bodies ability to heal and eliminate disease are
certainly not designed to improve health. Bryan's book is a
refreshing departure. His innovative methods of dealing with Lyme or
any disease for that matter are solidly based on the following
statement:
"Actively participate in your healing journey - no one else will take
responsibility for your treatment campaign except you....a patient
must be empowered and take responsibility for their healthcare."
This book is a real validation of electromedical treatment - Lyme is
the ultimate test as it is one of the most difficult infections to
eradicate.
Do date, this work provides one of the most clear understanding on
the use of rife type devices for this specific application, however,
Lyme can masquerade as so many other diseases (from Obsessive
Compulsive Disorder...MS...Arthritis...Depression...to Multiple
Chemical Sensitivity - a long list is in appendix A) hence this
information which separates the 'wheat from the chaff' will be useful
to many.
More often than not, symptoms of disease, are actually symptoms of
nutrients deficiencies; hence, an enlightening discussion is aptly
included. Of particular note, among others, is the significantly
important role of magnesium and it's association to disease.
In addition to the risk/reward analysis of the rife type devices (so
one can come to their own conclusion), a discussion on some practical
applications of other therapies (ie Hydrogen Peroxide) are covered.
Included also is a thorough discussion on the important role and
understanding of detoxification critical to any healing journey.
The following pretty much sums up the book:
"I also heard people say that the placebo effect is responsible for
rife machine success against Lyme Disease. But where was the placebo
effect when I failed to get benefit from so many other "proven"
medical therapies? Why did the placebo effect show up and save the
day all of a sudden, as soon as I tried rife machines? After I
started using rife machines, the term "placebo effect'' blended into
the rest of the useless medical jargon I had heard from
countless "experts" These supposed experts were really good at
talking but really bad at offering any kind of solution. Rife
machines offered me a workable solution. This book will give you the
tools to come to your own conclusion."

that the public is incapable of making good judgements &
interpretations of medical information (thus the necessity of FDA, HC
etc and the danger of alternative treatments) and out of the other
side of their mouth that it's OK for the big pharma to market drugs
DIRECTLY TO THE PUBLIC with emotion-stirring, compelling and of often
deceptive ads."

Preface
There is substantial evidence that rife machines are safer and more
effective than other "proven" treatments. Rife machines appear to be
safe because they have had the chance to show negative side effects
over their 15+ years of use against Lyme Disease, but have not They
are effective because many people who use them attain significant
improvement (and sometimes remission) from Lyme Disease. This success
is possible even after antibiotics fail. For evidence of rife machine
effectiveness, look no further than the Lyme Disease community. A
email scattered group of Lyme Disease sufferers have been
successfully treating their antibiotic-resistant, chronic Lyme
Disease with rife machines for over 15 years. Many of these people
are able to quit antibiotics for good after they begin rife machine
therapy, and they consider their "antibiotic days" just a bad memory.
Rife machines are appealing to Lyme Disease sufferers for many
reasons. They are not expensive or inconvenient to use They can be
built or purchased for less than it costs to replace a hot water
heater A rife machine treatment only takes a half hour or so and is
needed just several tunes per month Conversely, history has shown
that rife machines are not an appealing research option for medical
research companies (Appendix B). So this very useful alternative
therapy has never been investigated by well-funded organizations. The
treatment has remained largely underground. Sadly, many Lyme Disease
sufferers don't know about the rife machine treatment option.
In my battle with Lyme Disease, it was years before I heard of rife
machines. I continued to become increasingly sick and miserable
despite seeing many doctors and spending tens of thousands of dollars
on conventional and alternative therapies. In desperation I decided
to adopt a new strategy to locate better treatments" I resolved to
find people who actually got better and ask them how they did it I am
quite certain many readers know exactly what I'm talking about After
you've seen a dozen doctors but aren't well you start asking around
at church or work. You interview Lyme Disease sufferers to find what
worked.
As I began to locate the people who recovered I was surprised by a
striking commonality many used rife machines to get better after
nothing else worked. Sure, there was the occasional antibiotic,
hyperbaric oxygen chamber, or herbal remedy success story. But those
were few and far between. Especially when it came to chronic Lyme
Disease (which I had). By and large, what I found was that a Lyme
Disease sufferer had one of two stories: Either, "I'm well (or much
better) because of rife machines" or "I'm still suffering and nothing
is working"
I had absolutely nothing to lose I had already lost everything to
Lyme Disease. So I acquired a rife machine It cost me $700 00 When it
arrived and was sitting in my living room I thought to myself,
through my Lyme Disease brain fog, "you've got to be kidding this
bizarre apparatus is actually going to kill such horrible,
unstoppable bacteria?'' I took a deep breath and flipped the switch
on. To my amazement, I began to see improvement after a couple weeks
of using the machine. Though people had told me rife machines worked.
I was still shocked it was actually doing something. After a couple
of months I was much better. Initial improvements did not relent, but
continued consistently and predictably. I had used many other
therapies that worked at first, but ceased to be effective after a
while.
I got better and better. My brain began to work again. Lyme Disease
is primarily a neurological disease, and my neurological symptoms
unproved rapidly. My body returned to feeling healthy and strong. I
could exercise again, and even enjoy it. I had been sick so long I
really forgot what 'normal' felt like It did take a while to achieve
lasting results - as you'll read, the recovery process is long. Any
successful Lyme Disease therapy requires months or years to be fully
effective. But I was happily patient after all I had been through. Am
I completely cured? At the time I wrote this book, I still had
lingering symptoms. However, rife therapy took me from debilitated
and bed-bound to a functioning member of society. No other therapies
provided this improvement. And I continue to improve each and every
week. Before rife therapy, I continued to get worse each and every
week. Chapter 1 contains a detailed discussion of the typical results
people get with rife machines. Although rife machines do not cure
everyone, they often allow people to return to a normal lifestyle and
enjoy life again.
As my brain started to actually work again, I reflected on what
happened to me. I was angered that I had not heard of this treatment
earlier in my sickness and saddened that most Lyme Disease sufferers
are not aware of it. I became motivated to get the word out. I
briefly considered attending medical school. But as quickly as the
idea materialized, it vanished. I was broadsided by the realization
that doctors cannot recommend rife machines because they do not have
FDA approval. Ironic, I thought - the best way to share this
promising medical therapy was to avoid medical school
So this book was born.
The book is based on scientific data, laboratory experiments, and the
vast wisdom and experience of Lyme Disease sufferers and rife machine
experts. The experience and wisdom of real people is favored over
abstract medical politics. The book is an attempt to show you that
rife machines are for real, and do work. Rife machine therapy's track
record of providing relief for this incurable illness without side
effects is something every Lyme Disease sufferer should know about.
You won't find this information at your doctor's office or anywhere
else in print or on the internet. I know because I spent years
looking for it
If you are skeptical, I can empathize. Before I actually tried rife
machine therapy. I viewed it as just another treatment failure
waiting to happen. I had already tried e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. And I
mean everything I tried ozone, colloidal silver, saunas, dozens of
herbs, an underground Lyme clinic in Nevada, many supplements and
drugs, endotoxin-induced-hyperthermia (also known as "shake-and-
bake"), homeopathy, acupuncture. Chinese medicine. Transfer Factor,
colostrum, hyperbaric oxygen chamber, cholestyiamine. IV and oral
antibiotics, and more. Some of these therapies were helpful; none
provided satisfactory results. I even spent £20,000 on an
experimental treatment in Italy (commonly known as "ICHT") which
promised a cure. But I didn't get a cure there...or anywhere. I was
among the most skeptical of Lyme Disease sufferers.
Critics of rife machine therapy added to my skepticism. These people
(sometimes doctors, sometimes lay people) discouraged me from
researching rife machines for a long time. But I discovered that
those who dismiss this life-saving therapy habitually fail to produce
evidence that rife machines are ineffective or harmful, and ignore
the reality that many people are well today because of rife machines.
Although they wouldn't say it exactly like this, critics think that
chronic Lyme Disease sufferers should just be quiet and docile while
they spend the rest of their sick lives patiently waiting for
conventional medicine to come to then* rescue. I heard this
suggestion (with slight variations) many times from "experts." I
don't know about you, but I didn't find that appealing I had already
given mainstream medicine more than a fair chance and I was still
sick.
I also heard people say that the placebo effect is responsible for
rife machine success against Lyme Disease. But where was the placebo
effect when I failed to get benefit from so many other "proven"
medical therapies? Why did the placebo effect show up and save the
day all of a sudden, as soon as I tried rife machines? After I
started using rife machines, the term "placebo effect'' blended into
the rest of the useless medical jargon I had heard from
countless "experts" These supposed experts were really good at
talking but really bad at offering any kind of solution. Rife
machines offered me a workable solution This book will give you the
tools to come to your own conclusion.
