*shoddy logic and lack of empiric proof*, May 11, 2005
Reviewer: N. Ziering (new york)

Mr. Rosner has spent countless hours putting this book together, but he fervently purports a method of treatment that cannot be empirically qualified nor quantified.

I applaud his attempt of thinking outside the box, but he also is guilty of crimes of fallaciousness due to his limited knowledge and understanding of the microbiology of borrelia (the bacterial agent of Lyme disease).

His ideas are written not with studies of in vitro and in vivo suseptibility to the borrelia organism (either from antibiotics or rife) but from personal and anecdotal experience.

I have never tried rife, but the logic, without extrapolating into minutia of detail, doesn't hold up.

If people are receiving ameliorating effects from 'rifing', more power to them.

But I would advise anyone reading this to study up on electomagnetic fields and cellular biology first (for free on the internet) before paying $45.00 for a self published book that has more holes than a welfare wagon of swiss cheese.
