Names have been changed/omitted out of respect for the privacy of the individuals involved. More effective lyme frequencies have been found since this letter was written. These frequencies are documented elsewhere on the web-site where you found this document. (see freq_doug.htm) Last Updated: March 23, 1997 at 8:00 PM ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- COPY OF A LETTER OF 9/16/93 FROM "DOUG" TO AN EDITOR OF LYME TREATMENT NEWS. Dear Editor, This letter is long overdue. Remember, I was the one who called you from "Big City" with the electromagnetic treatment for Lyme disease? I became interested in the effects of electromagnetic fields about four years ago, when I was ill with Lyme disease. In the spring of 1990, my G.I. tract was most infected. I was unable to eat anything but Ensure-Plus, and lost 20 pounds in 14 days. I was put on an IV (2 grams Rocephin daily for a month). However, I was still losing the battle. A relative told me that back in the 1930's, researchers found that specific electromagnetic frequencies would kill micro-organisms. I could see that this might be possible. I had nothing to lose, so I set up an experiment with two objectives: 1. Test and prove the theory that electromagnetic waves at fixed frequencies can kill the Lyme spirochete in vitro. 2. Try the same experiment in vivo. Experiment #1 - In vitro EQUIPMENT: l. Leitz microscope body with Zeiss 100x oil lens. 1.32 NA and 10x eye pieces. 1000 power with dark field turret. 2. 3"x1" slides with slipcovers. 3. Function generator--used sine wave function only. 4. 700 watt audio amplifier. (Started with 20 watts). 5. 400 gauss coil for microscope. Tried many different kinds. Put coil around condenser lens below slide. 6. Amp meter. 7. Volt meter. 8. Live spirochetes. Facilities to cultivate them. After observing the spirochetes for some time, I applied 625 Hz and noticed a number-of unusual reactions from the spirochetes. 1. Vibrated tail and appeared broken. 2. Bent back and forth from center. 3. Spinning (100 rpm). 4. Straightened out. The spirochetes that reacted did die in 20 minutes to 2 hours. 600 Hz had the same effect. I knew that the response curve for resonance was symmetrical, so I went to the midpoint of 612 and found this frequency to be more effective. 920 seemed to be another kill frequency, and it occurred to me that I was on a harmonic of 306. I tested 306 and found it to be the most effective for killing spirochetes - in fact, my wife and I had a "Herxheimer" for three days, from looking in the microscope when its coil was running at that frequency. EXPERIMENT #2 - In vivo EQUIPMENT: 1. Function generator 2. Amplifier 3. Amp meter 4. Volt meter 5. Oscilloscope 6. Coil - 4 ohms impedance -constructed of #12 magnet wire a) 200 gauss -20 Hz - coil 20" diameter - 190T (33 mh) b) 38 gauss - 305 Hz - coil 20" diameter - 47T (2.1 mh) c) 420 gauss - 305 Hz - coil 4" diameter - 180T (2.1 mh) The coil was held around head, chest, waist and legs. Time: 30 seconds per positions - 3 minutes Frequency: Start 625--611--305--and 20 Hz. Reaction: As with antibiotic treatment, there was a Jarisch-Herxheimer response with symptoms becoming worse before they went away. 20 Hz was also found to be effective, later tests show 27 Hz may be better. The treatment continued once a month for six months before most symptoms disappeared. NOTE: Care should be taken in start-up treatment because of large Jarisch-Herxheimer reactions. Expect two years for complete recovery. That was just about four years ago. Since then, I have gained back 40 pounds and work full time. Today, I enjoy good health, which I know is directly attributable to the electromagnetic treatments. I have not had any antibiotics since 1989. Many people in our support group have treated themselves, with equally satisfying results. They built their own frequency machines with some differences, but basically the same unit. The most recent revision of the "machine" is a frequency or function generator (BK Precision Model 3011B) of sine waves fed into a 2000-watt amplifier (QSC MX2000) which powers a set of coils (different coils for different frequencies). The coils act as radiating devices when placed against the body have AC magnetic fields of a 100 gauss minimum which penetrates the body. FUNCTION AMPLIFIER COIL TUNING COIL GENERATOR (2000 WATTS) CIRCUIT The electronic hardware set-up and frequencies have been added to over the years, and the latest frequencies are 27, 300-400 scan, 420-470 scan HZ at 100 gauss minimum. About seven treatments are required, exposing each infected area of the body for about 3 minutes per treatment. The components are available off the shelf from a nearby electronics and music store, for about $1500. Sincerely, "Doug"
