~ ~ ~ What Are Rife Machines? ~ ~ ~
Rife machines are devices which use audio frequencies which are applied in some fashion to an individual with the intent of bettering the individual's health.
Several types of "Rife machines" exist. Some with hand-held cylinders or contact pads connect to audio generators, while others use high voltage audio to energize plasma lamps, similar to fluorescent tubes, while the individual simply sits nearby, being exposed to the modulated light energy.
Little formal medical research has been done in the US, however, several types of frequency devices are medically licensed in Germany and other countries. In the US, the only FDA approved frequency machine is the TENS device, one of which was used in 1936 to assist the AMA's Dr. Morris Fishbein in recovery from Bell’s Palsy. TENS machines apply low frequency pulses to the skin, causing stimulation of the muscles.
In the 1940's, Caltech's Dr. Gennady Potapenko developed and built thousands of "Hyper-Pulse" machines for the US Navy for relief of sinus pain. Dr. Potapenko's machine delivered very short pulses of high voltage amplitude. No pain was felt by the patient. (Caltech Archives)
Frequency history comes from experiments on bacteria by private researcher Royal Rife in the 1930's in San Diego. Rife, a machinist, had some training in optics, and invented a microscope which he claimed was able to image live virus organisms. No remaining working Rife Microscopes exist today, although one with missing parts survives in London’s British Museum. Rife experimented on numerous disease bacteria, imaging them with his microscope while exposing the bacteria to light frequencies from his "Rife Ray Machine," a low power radio transmitter modulated by audio generators, and powering a helium-filled flask. That light illuminated the bacteria under study. Thousands of experiments on lab animals focused on breast cancer, and Rife claimed to have identified frequencies which “killed cancer” as well as many other disease organisms.
Recent experiments on safe E.coli cultures have been largely unable to duplicate these results, although some researchers report finding frequency protocols which resulted in the death of E.coli bacteria in culture.
Thousands of individuals have reported improved health states, i.e. good results, when exposed to various "Rife" machines while suffering from various afflictions, including arthritis, the flu, cataracts and some forms of cancer. Some theorize that the "Rife machines" may increase the activity of the body's immune system, however the manner in which this may occur is unknown.
Many claims have been made about Rife's work and about a clinic run by Pasadena's Dr. Milbank Johnson in La Jolla, Ca, in 1934 (but generally credited to Royal Rife.) Regardless of the claims, Dr. Johnson considered the clinic results to be inconclusive, although he conducted several other clinics in the 1930's, the last being at Pasadena's Scripps' Home for the Aged in 1936. There he determined that exposure to the Rife Ray Machine weekly over a few month period restored vision to almost all of the cataract patients he treated.
Only fragmentary records remain of these experiments, and of Rife and Dr. Johnson's work, although a large network of "Rife" enthusiasts has been growing rapidly in the last thirty years. Many build their own machines or purchase them from an expanding network of vendors.
One theory of illness and disease is that these states reflect “low energy” conditions in the body. The frequency energy absorbed from a Rife Machine may simply be sufficient to re-energize the body’s healing capabilities.
Prudent inclusion of such energy frequencies, especially when individuals are exhibiting slower rates of recovery, may be beneficial for those whose families request such additions to standard medical protocols.
More about Rife:
For the record, Dr. Milbank Johnson passed away from a heart attack. He was not poisoned, etc. Much of the popular "Rife Story" out there in the popular press is nonsence. The 1934 Clinic happened. It's results were not what has been touted, else the list of patients would be a public document, rather than being hidden away in someone's archives where nobody can research what happened to the dozen or so patients. We do know that one 1934 patient returned to Dr. Johnson in 1935 with cancer, and was sent off to a surgeon.
