Royal Raymond Rife (May 16, 1888 - August 11, 1971) Born in Nebraska 1888. Married 1913. Served in Navy 1915-1918. 1920 began research into the electrical treatment of disease. 1929 claimed to have invented a new microscope to view live viruses. 1932 Mayo Clinic verifies results. 1933 Universal microscope unveiled. 1934 Cancer clinic opened. 1938 AMA head Fishbein offers to buy in . Refused. AMA commences legal proceedings against Rife. Clinic burnt down and two doctors murdered. 1949 Fishbein ousted from AMA for stealing funds and fraud. 1950 Cancer results repeated. 1960 AMA and FDA declare use of equipment illegal. 1971 Rife dies. An unrecognised genius whose results are only being repeated and understood today. His high powered microscope broke the Fraunhofer diffraction limit and allowed the observation of live viral sized components. His frequency devices allowed the observed destruction of these pathogens. New devices (Erganom and Richardson nanoscopes) show his observations to be correct. The Rife frequency treatment device is the preferred treatment mode for Lymes disease. Early detection of precancerous pathogens in the blood and their destruction has been proven to be effective. Unfortunately the FDA still bans the use of his equipment and full clinical trials are urgently needed. Rifes major error was keeping his ideas secret.

Rife's microscopes

Rife claimed to have used his Universal Microscope to examine microbes in various media seeing living tissues and organisms through the use of polarized light and prisms. Rife claimed he could identify an individual spectroscopic signature of each microbe. By rotating prisms to focus light of a single wavelength upon the microorganism he was examining, he could elicit resonance with a "spectroscopic signature frequency" of the microbe, causing it to become easily visible. He described a certain "Mortal Oscillation Rate" at which the resonance would become so extreme as to kill the organism.

Rife reported using ultraviolet light and overcoming assorted physical limitations by heterodyning, a technique used in radio reception which at that time was quite new. Rife is reported to have made microbes visible in UV without killing them.

Claims of government cover-up

Rife and his latter-day supporters account for the absence of demonstrable equipment or detailed notes on its construction by reporting that Dr. Morris Fishbein, then editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association or alternatively the government, raided Rife's labs, destroyed his microscopes, seized his equipment and notes, and forced him to move on.

Re-examination of stories

Rife's work was revived by interested businessmen in the 1980s. An interest in Rife himself was revived by author Barry Lynes, who wrote a book about Rife entitled The Cancer Cure That Worked. This led to such groups as the Bioelectromagnetics Society.

Other devices using Rife's name

In the late 1980's a company by the name of "Life Energy Resources" mass-produced a device they called the "REM SuperPro Generator" on the foundation of Rife's work (giving the acronym REM for Rife's Electromagnetic). Three of the company's top distributors: Pat Ballistrea, Michael Ricotta, and Brian Strandberg, served prison time for device health fraud and selling unapproved medical devices and drugs as a result of their trials in 1993, 1994, and 1995.

By the end of the millennium, devices using Rife's name were widely available from many commercial sources. This included microscopes claiming to be derived from Rife's "Universal microscope," as well as devices advertized as "Beam Ray" equivalents claiming to cure anything from the common cold via Lyme disease to cancer. Peer-reviewed research reporting any real effects of these machines or the technology involved was not available. It was not clear whether or not any of these devices were actually based on Rife's work. Growing criticism from mainstream science and demands for government intervention were apparent in the media. One example was a December 2000 Sydney Morning Herald article that stated "Cancer sufferers have died after putting their faith in a device with electrical parts worth just $15." Some countries saw the advent of "Rife" clinics which attracted customers worldwide, once again without independent verification or accreditation.
