Biography
Rife was born in Elkhorn, Nebraska, and in 1913 married and moved to San Diego, where he was employed as a family chauffeur.
He is worked for one of the German optical companies (Zeiss or Leitz) for a few years before World War One , and to have served in the US Navy during this war.
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. His results have been repeated with modern nanoscopes which can exceed the fraunhofer diffraction limit.
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.
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. ==More information== Rife's experimental and observational claims conflict with several well-established areas of modern science. Those wishing to examine the evidence may compare the external links below with articles on spectroscopy, microscopy, and heterodyning.
