Praise for The Rife Handbook
Applying electricity to treat illness is an old science. The Egyptians utilized electric eels centuries ago. Acupuncture
discussed in The Yellow Emperor’s Internal Medicine Classic dates to 200 BCE. In modern times, Georges Lakhovsky used
electricity for his Multi-Wave Oscillator (created with the assistance of Nikola Tesla and patented in 1934). The efforts
of Royal Rife are much better known. However, the saga of Rife technology reads like a mystery novel with intrigue,
misinformation and hiding of information, theft, lawsuits, character assassination and governmental abuse. Now comes
Dr. Sylver with a clear explanation of Rife therapy in an easily readable and scholarly treatise. Finally the mystery is
solved, and we can put Rife technology into a usable context for its intended purpose—the healing of the sick.

At a time when health conscious individuals are concerned about drug-resistant infectious diseases, the government’s
push for mass inoculations, the over-medication of children, bioterrorism, and negative effects of vaccines and drugs,
along comes a well researched, easy-to-read treatise that revives non-invasive and effective frequency therapy. The Rife
Handbook is sophisticated enough for the seasoned health professional, yet thorough and understandable enough for the
novice. This book does more than discuss the genius of Royal Raymond Rife; it superbly explains holistic approaches
to treating disease. Even if the reader does not (yet) own a frequency device, this book is one of the best primers I have
ever seen on holistic health. Anyone interested in alternative healing protocols must have this book.
—Rose Marie Williams, MA
Townsend Letter columnist, and natural health and environmental advocate
It doesn’t happen very often, but occasionally I read a massive book on natural health and healing that just plain blows
me away. Dr. Nenah Sylver’s huge and impressive Rife Handbook is more than merely the best and most complete
compendium on frequency healing that I’ve ever seen. In addition to a massive cross-referenced frequency directory
for most human ailments, this wonderful book also features detailed, helpful, and ground-breaking information on
complementary therapies—and much, much more.
—Chet Day

We work in the area of complementary and holistic cancer healing education and recommend Rife therapy to all our
clients. The Rife Handbook is a bible in our office, an invaluable tool toward the healing of dozens of cancer victors.
Nenah Sylver’s research is thorough and detailed. The book sits on a prominent place on my shelf next to every
frequently used manual in my practice.

(www.cancersurvivorzone.com)
Royal Raymond Rife discovered one of the most groundbreaking medical tools of the last hundred years. Due to
political and financial interests, his discoveries were driven underground. But today, people suffering from cancer
and other diseases can base their treatment on authentic science instead of politics. A scientist in the true definition
of the word, Dr. Sylver methodically guides readers through Rife’s life and achievements, with a history of the
technology and the scientific foundation for its use. She also provides practical tips that can be easily integrated into
a comprehensive protocol for a wide variety of health conditions. Nenah Sylver is the “researcher’s researcher”; I
habitually turn to her work as a trusted reference. I recommend The Rife Handbook without reservation to every health
seeker, patient, physician, and scientist who values objectivity and innovation in medicine and wants guidance on
complementary healing modalities.

It is an honor to endorse the intelligent, well-researched and politically courageous Rife Handbook in these corrupt times.
This very valuable resource will help energy medicine hit its full, scientifically-validated stride in the years ahead.
—Barry Lynes
author, The Cancer Cure That Worked and The Healing of Cancer
The Rife Handbook is, without a doubt, the best written and most informative book I’ve ever seen on resonant
frequency therapy. Dr. Sylver has compiled the best and most useful of all historical and technical knowledge
involving Rife and many other types of frequency therapies. Her clear, step-by-step explanations of both theory
and practical applications address virtually every point, and more, that I as a device manufacturer have been asked
about the technology. This book contains the most extensively annotated and cross-referenced frequency index to be
found anywhere. Furthermore, the far-reaching education on the principles of holistic health and many important
complementary modalities will help readers make informed choices about their care. This invaluable volume is a “must
have” reference for laypeople, for the practitioners who treat them, and for seasoned researchers. If you have but one
book on the subject, this should be the one!
—Jimmie Holman
Rife researcher and designer, Pulsed Technologies
The Rife Handbook is impressive and encyclopedic, a priceless addition to my library. I reference it all the time and its
review of electrotherapy is first-class.
—Steve Haltiwanger, MD, CCN
internationally acclaimed authority on nutrition, electromedicine,
and the electrical properties of the body
Dr. Nenah Sylver’s 2001 edition offered an impressive collection of long-suppressed information to help people break
away from the self-serving deceits employed by conventional allopathic medical care and the pharmaceutical industry.
With this new volume, Dr. Sylver demonstrates her mastery of this complicated field with massive amounts of hands-on
information that you must learn if you are to finally be well. She courageously demonstrates how each of us has the power
to take charge of our own lives and create our own wellness protocols, without abdicating responsibility to anyone else.
The Rife Handbook is destined to become the definitive reference on attaining self-directed, holistic health.
—S. Nathan Berger, DDS, PC
Rife researcher and biological dentist
As an AAMA Board Certified Alternative Medicine Practitioner, I have many fine modalities from which to choose.
I recently experienced a health issue that failed to be helped by either conventional allopathic medicine or even
alternative medicine treatments. However, after a Rife frequency square wave treatment protocol was applied, this
health issue was completely resolved.
Rife technology, until now, has been largely questioned by both alternative medicine and allopathic practitioners
for efficacy and disease resolution. But The Rife Handbook will dispel your doubts. It is the recommended work
for practitioners who need to understand how and why this therapy works, and who want to utilize frequency
therapies in conjunction with current preferred interventions to help their patients heal. Nenah Sylver’s definitive
interpretation of frequency therapy identifies applications, indications, contraindications, safety, and specific
treatments along with directions specifying “how, when, and what frequency” for therapy sessions. The detail with
which the author examines treatment modalities is remarkable; she presents a variety of protocols to resolve most
health issues. It is rare that I read another’s views of various alternative medicine therapies that exude such succinct
clarity and comprehension as hers. Dr. Sylver has a remarkable grasp of what works, how it works, and on whom it
may be effective.
This 768-page, well-referenced treatise provides treatment options when progress falls short, or when there appears
to be an impassable plateau in the way of optimal recovery. Having read every single page, I found no competing
interests, monetary motive, or corporate interest from the author and enthusiastically endorse The Rife Handbook.

This meticulously researched book examining the discoveries and inventions of Royal Raymond Rife provides new
and ample documentation, including a fascinating compilation of cutting edge data on a variety of wellness issues,
brilliantly interpreted. It is rewarding to see a new generation of health professionals postulating what I have been
saying for four decades. If you are interested in exploring Rife frequencies as an alternative source, or in acquiring new
information to help with decisions about your health, this book will be a valuable addition to your library.
—Phyllis A. Balch, CNC
author, Prescription for Herbal Healing, Prescription for Dietary Wellness,
and Prescription for Nutritional Healing
Nenah Sylver’s direct style is a prophetic voice for the medicine of the future. Her timely book comes amidst the rise
of consumer-driven health care in America: patients are demanding more than chemistry can offer. There is wide
consensus that health is more than the absence of disease, and that illness is more than the miscarriage of biochemical
processes. Nearly a half century after Nobel laureate Albert Saint-Gyorgyi first called our attention to its necessity,
we may finally see a shift to incorporate the findings of quantum mechanics into biology and medicine. As Robert
Becker discovered, these disciplines blend nicely together in the same laboratory, and hold great promise for the clinic.
Dr. Sylver provides a well-organized history of Rife’s work and a seminal guidebook for the modern application of his
discoveries. This significant volume will encourage lively and informed discussion regarding the implications of bioelectromagnetic energies for human wellness.
—Joel P. Carmichael, DC, DACBSP
President, North American Academy of Energy Medicine
Dr. Nenah Sylver has gifted humanity with a magnificent, comprehensive, thoroughly researched guide to holistic
health as well as the science and application of the work of a great medical pioneer, Royal Raymond Rife. This book
will help physicians expand their base of practical and theoretical knowledge. I highly recommend it for any clinical
practice utilizing complementary and energy medicine therapies.
—Robert S. Ivker, DO
Co-Founder and Past President, American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine (ABIHM)
and author, Sinus Survival
The Rife Handbook is a first-rate, comprehensive, extremely well organized and documented manual to help
laypersons and physicians better understand the concepts of vibrational medicine and the power of complementary
health protocols. This holistic bible provides an extensive A to Z list of frequencies to treat disease, plus invaluable
information on the politics of medicine, complementary therapies, types of electromedical devices, and other topics
to help one survive the pitfalls of modern medicine. As an author, researcher and international lecturer with over 40
years of clinical experience, I am literally blown away by this incredible masterpiece and give it a definitive five-star
rating. I strongly recommend that this book be used at any educational institution that seeks to disseminate sciencebased information to students of medicine, chiropractic, osteopathy, naturopathy and other health modalities.
—Gerald H. Smith, DDS, DNM
Past President, Holistic Dental Association
Resonant frequency therapies are mostly unknown to the general public, and well written material on Royal Rife
is scarce. Yet hundreds of thousands of people, from the skilled professional to the layperson, are using frequency
devices with phenomenal success in the treatment of disease. Rife’s groundbreaking research involving many scientific
disciplines—and his innovative discoveries—upset the present scientific paradigm. But they will eventually reshape
our world. And The Rife Handbook will help open people’s minds to what is now a worldwide technological shift. This
book is long overdue.
—James E. Bare, DC
chiropractor and inventor of the patented Bare-Rife frequency therapy device
This book is incredibly well written and comprehensive, relevant to students and practitioners alike. Covering an
array of topics in medicine and holistic health, it comes at a most crucial time in the bourgeoning field of alternative
and complementary health care. Having read scores of books on electromedicine, l count this book as my number
one reference on the topic. I only wish I had the knowledge presented in these pages many years ago. As a scientist
with over 40 years of clinical and academic experience, I am mesmerized by Nenah Sylver’s quality of writing and
knowledge. She explains the most difficult topics clearly so anyone can understand and benefit from what she has
to offer. Dr. Sylver is sure to inspire and educate those fortunate enough to hold a copy of her book in their hands.
Without question, she will be included as one of the great minds of the 21st century. It is with great pride and honor
that I recommend The Rife Handbook without hesitation to all physicians and students in the health field.

Acknowledgments
This book would never have been written without the
pioneering discoveries and great personal sacrifices of
Royal Raymond Rife. Likewise, this book could not exist
without the contributions of the archivists, electronics
engineers, microscopists, mathematicians, and medical
researchers who came after Rife and continue to refine
the growing field of frequency healing. This Rife Handbook
is not intended to replace anyone’s research, discoveries
or devices. Rather, it is meant as a guide to complement
the Rife resource material that has been reemerging after
being suppressed for over half a century.
Not all Rife researchers are in the public eye, or want
to be. But all of them deserve to be acknowledged for
their efforts to promote this drug-free, non-invasive
way to banish disease and promote wellness. I especially thank the following for reviewing portions of my
manuscript and providing some technical information:
James Bare, DC; S. Nathan Berger, DDS, PC; K’Lynn
Chastain; Gerry Graham, DC; Anthony G. Holland,
PhD; Richard Loyd, PhD; Brian McInturff; Bruce K.
Stenulson; and Jeff Sutherland, PhD.
Jason Ringas and Shawn Montgomery (co-founders of
the Rife Research Group of Canada), along with Stanley
Truman, allowed me to use some key documents and
photos from their archives. Charlene Boehm, Dave Felt
and Jimmie Holman spent many hours patiently answering
my questions and explaining technical issues. Jeff Garff
supplied many photos and also resized them for me. Bryan
Rosner offered his friendship and enthusiastic support.
Peter Walker, founder of Rife Research, Europe and
www.rifeforum.com, provided photos and information,
helped with website design, and assisted in other ways too
numerous to count. And research from the late Donald L.
Tunney has continued to enrich so many. I am grateful to
them all.
Rife therapy should be administered holistically, as
part of an overall wellness protocol. Therefore, this book
addresses many complementary modalities. A project
of this scope and depth could not have been completed
without input from health professionals and educated
laypersons versed in acupuncture, biology, chemistry,
chiropractic, herbology, internal medicine, massage
therapy, naturopathy, pathology, and physics. I thank
Lynne August, MD; Mike Devour; Sally Fallon, MA; Noel
Huntley, PhD; Diana Jordan, RN, CT; Bob Lesnow, DC;
Gerald Olarsch, ND; Lorinda Panton; Bruce Poritzky, BS;
Karen Purcell, ND; Paul Silverfox, LMT; A. Van Beveren,
PhD, CNC; and Richard A. Wullaert, PhD, head of the
Functional Water Society.
I also acknowledge the following, whose time and talents helped in myriad ways: Ann Rogers and Ron Strauss
at First Glance Indexing; attorney George Thomas, who
instructed me on laws governing medical devices; Edna
(Eddie) Tunney, who gave me moral support when I really
needed it; Robin Walsh, former head librarian at Ulster
County Community College, who unearthed hard-to-find
journal articles for me, even though I no longer live anywhere near the library; and Margie Wilson of Wordsworth,
who helped with miscellaneous publishing details. Special
appreciation goes to David Friedman of Barner Books, who
xi
xii THE RIFE HANDBOOK
in the process of working as my sales agent also became my
friend. Editorial assistance for this Handbook, in particular
help organizing Chapter 5, was provided by Linda Thieman,
MA. Additional copyediting was done by Kitty Farago, RN.
If I have not acknowledged someone I should have, it was
inadvertent, so please consider yourself included.
In the personal arena, I continue to be blessed with the
companionship of my life partner and best friend, Paul
Silverfox, LMT. Throughout the many years that I labored
on all versions of this book, Paul taught and uplifted me
with his unconditional love. He attended to everyday
matters so I could spend uninterrupted hours writing. He
readily gave advice on all aspects of the manuscript, no
matter how many rewrites I asked him to critique. And he
offered encouragement whenever I needed it. I will always
appreciate his friendship and caring.
The others I want to acknowledge are people whom I
may never meet face to face. Members of several Internet
health forums, from all over the world, have regularly
relayed accounts of medical politics, reported their favorite
frequencies, and described groundbreaking therapies.
Their stories of how they were helped by Rife’s technology
and other modalities have been informative and inspiring.
Another group I may never meet in person is the thousands
of laypeople and health professionals who, over the course
of a decade, telephoned or emailed me with questions.
Their questions made me think and strive to find the
answers, thus helping me create a better book.
Finally, there is one more person I want to sincerely
thank: you, the reader of this book. Your desire to learn
and your willingness to take responsibility for your wellness form the bedrock of holistic health. It is in service to
you that I have written The Rife Handbook.
Foreword by Richard Loyd, PhD
There are times when a person may need immediate
orthodox medical attention. If involved in a car accident
producing severe injuries, I would hope to be transported
to the best emergency room in town for medical care. But
what about conditions where heroic and invasive interventions are not immediately required? There is danger in
making use of medical care.
In April of 1998, the Journal of the American Medical
Association ( JAMA) published an article from researchers
at the University of Toronto who studied the numbers of
serious adverse drug reactions in the USA during 1994.
“Serious” pertained to drug reactions from correctly
prescribed medications that required hospitalization,
caused permanent disability, or induced death. There
were 2,216,000 serious adverse drug reactions in the USA
in 1994, about 106,000 of which were fatal. This makes
correctly practiced medical care approximately the fifth
leading cause of death.
Then in 2000, JAMA published another article. Dr.
Barbara Starfield of Johns Hopkins School of Public Health
took the 106,000 number from the above study and added
the deaths from unnecessary surgeries, deaths from medical
errors, and deaths from infections in hospitals, yielding a
total of 225,000 deaths per year from medical care.
In 2003, doctors Gary Null, Carolyn Dean, Martin
Feldman, Debora Rasio and Dorothy Smith published a
study (which appeared in Townsend Letter and was widely
reprinted) called “Death by Medicine.” Careful studies
of peer-reviewed journal articles and government health
statistics showed that medically caused deaths added up to
more than 783,000 per year, well ahead of heart disease
(at about 700,000) and cancer (at about 550,000, many of
which should be categorized under drug-related deaths).
The authors concluded that medical care is the leading cause
of death in America.
It would seem prudent to consider non-toxic and noninvasive therapies whenever possible. One type of therapy
to consider is that of microbiologist, scientist and optician
Dr. Royal Raymond Rife. As early as 1929, articles began
appearing in newspapers such as the San Diego Union and
The Los Angeles Times about Dr. Rife. He had discovered
that frequencies could be used to destroy germs without
harming the patient.
Dr. Rife developed equipment to apply frequencies.
Since that time, various types of effective frequency
devices have been produced. Hundreds of cancer patients
have recovered without the benefit of surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation. Lyme disease, Multiple Sclerosis,
rheumatoid arthritis, and many other conditions have
yielded to frequency therapies. Non-professionals have
produced many of these results. I have had the privilege of
watching many people self-treat and enjoy improvements
in their health.
A woman with advanced rheumatoid arthritis found
walking even a few steps to be very difficult. She decided
to give frequency therapy a try. She used a piece of equipment that is able to scan the body and detect which
frequencies should be used. It then applies the frequencies.
She reported that a few days later she was able to enjoy
walking with her children at a fair for hours.
xiii
xiv THE RIFE HANDBOOK
A woman reported having problems with parasites
after eating undercooked shrimp. She also used a unit
that could scan the body and apply frequencies. When
the correct frequency was used, she reported that she
could feel a large worm thrashing around. Soon after that
she passed the creature. It was one inch in diameter and
thirty inches long!
A woman had cancer in her right breast, right lung and
in her right shoulder and ribs. Her right arm hung limp.
She was heavily medicated for pain, and could not eat
or keep supplements down due to nausea. Her husband
decided to administer frequencies for six hours a day (not
recommended). In a week she was able to stop her medications, and she could take supplements and eat. After one
month, cancer was no longer detectable, and she had use
of her arm again.
An attorney with an autistic son reported that her child
seldom slept more than three hours at a time; he would
wake up in pain. The two of them were getting six hours
or less of sleep a night. After the mother gave the boy one
frequency session, he started sleeping consistently for ten
hours, and his behavior improved.
A prostate cancer patient had difficulty urinating, and
he had a PSA of 140. He scanned for frequencies and
administered them. Five days later, the urine flow was
normal and the PSA dropped to 90. Two months later,
his PSA was down to less than 2.
A leukemia patient had a white blood cell count of
250,000. He decided to use frequencies that other leukemia patients had found useful. After six weeks, his white
blood cell count was down to 16,000. His physician said
that the palliative treatments that they were doing could
not have done this.
A patient with pulmonary fibrosis made crinkling
sounds in his lungs as he breathed. He was told that his
prognosis was hopeless, that his oxygen saturation would
continue to decrease until not even inhaling oxygen would
keep him alive. He did a scan and applied the needed frequencies. He coughed up a lot of material, after which his
lung sounds and oxygen saturation returned to normal.
A hepatitis C patient had a virus level of more than
9,000,000. He used frequencies from a scan and from
lists. Five days later, his virus score was 1,000,000.
Several people with degenerative hip conditions have
used frequency therapies. So far, all have recovered. It
appears that when the infections in the joints are removed,
the body is able to repair the damage.
And yet, most physicians have never heard of the work
of Dr. Rife. The Rife Handbook of Frequency Therapy is a
book that doctors and their patients can use to learn about
this safe, effective and non-toxic therapy for cancer and so
many other conditions
Dr. Sylver presents a fascinating account of the life of
Dr. Rife and his accomplishments. She describes how his
discoveries were, and continue to be, ignored or opposed.
She explains why you may not get the best available care
when you seek medical help. She covers in detail helpful
steps to take in moving toward wellness, including how to
get quality water and how to detoxify the body.
She covers what you need to know to conduct a frequency therapy session. And she lists a large number of
conditions with appropriate frequencies, as well as complementary therapies. Dr. Sylver has spent years studying how
people get sick and how they can get well. She presents a
wealth of valuable material that will be beneficial to doctors, practitioners of all kinds, and those who are on the
road to recovering their own health.

Preface by Jeff Sutherland, PhD
When Nenah Sylver published the first edition of The Rife
Handbook in 2001, it received excellent reviews as the
best book in the field. This new version is substantially
updated and improved, reflecting many of the advances in
frequency therapies that have occurred in the last decade.
Frequency therapy, properly applied, may well replace
every other modality. Frequencies can alter DNA, kill or
enhance cells, affect all chemical interactions, break up
toxic substances and cause them to be eliminated from
the body, kill pathogens that disrupt bodily function, and
enhance and stimulate all cells and organ systems to higher
levels of performance.
Frequency devices can change the medical paradigm
as we know it. But unfortunately, there is considerable
resistance to electromedicine. When I co-founded the
Center for Vitamins and Cancer Research under the
sponsorship of Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling, it became
clear that certain innovations in medicine were not being
researched sufficiently because of the limitations of our
peer review process and the business interests of the
health care system. Health care is a government regulated
monopoly that systematically suppresses new innovation.
Professor Clayton Christensen at the Harvard Business
School writes: “Powerful institutional forces fight simpler
alternatives to expensive care because those alternatives
threaten their livelihoods.” No one with a vested interest
wants things to change, particularly when large amounts
of money are involved.
Numerous papers in leading research journals have
demonstrated that frequencies can eliminate pathogens
and kill cancer cells. Yet why wouldn’t health care practitioners who put their patients first want to use this
technology? The average physician spends seven minutes
with a patient during a visit. This is not enough time to
do a good diagnosis, much less figure out a frequency
treatment. Physicians would have to change their business
model. Individuals who are unwell may be the only ones
with the time and energy to spend on their problems. Rife
frequency technology is a user-friendly modality for people
to use to make themselves better.
Dr. Sylver spends a lot of time in her book to help you
use frequencies safely. Even if you just want to make life
a little better for your family and friends, you will want
to read The Rife Handbook. There are superbugs and
bioengineered diseases out there that might make it to
your neighborhood. Will your local medical clinic help
you when thousands of people are dying from a strange
disease? Don’t count on it! If you want to live long and
prosper, learn about frequency therapy.

Introduction
Imagine what your life would be like if you could eliminate ill health in as little as one day for something mild
(like the common cold), or in six months to a year for a
more serious illness (like cancer). To do this, you would
need a protocol to strengthen your system so that it is
no longer a breeding ground for pathogens, a frequency
device, and a list of frequencies.
Royal Raymond Rife, and his effective, non-invasive
technology that has helped countless overcome life-threatening diseases, is finally emerging into public awareness
after years of suppression. The knowledge that specific
frequencies destroy microbes is not new. As incredible as
it sounds, Nebraska-born scientist Royal Rife began his
career as an inventor almost a century ago.
One of Rife’s key inventions was a most unusual
microscope. In those days, the magnifying power of
existing microscopes was poor. Individual viruses, and
even some bacteria, could not be seen unless they were
clustered together in colonies. Determined to see individual microbes, Rife built his highly acclaimed Universal
Microscope. Many times more powerful than other magnifying instruments, the microscope made specimens
visible without killing them—a feat beyond the capacity
of even today’s electron microscopes. In order to make
microbes visible, electron microscopes bombard them
with electrons in a vacuum, which kills them. Rife had a
good reason for wanting to see specimens in their natural
live state. If you want to find out how to kill a microbe,
you need to observe how it reacts in its environment.
Once Rife could observe the activities and responses
of living microorganisms, he could figure out a way to
destroy them. Hence, the Rife Ray was born.
Rife’s method of destroying microorganisms was based
on the principle of resonance. Every living organism has a
resonant frequency, or intrinsic radiation signature. The
cliché of the soprano who shatters a glass with her single,
pure, focused tone is an adequate working metaphor for
how Rife’s electronic device worked. The various frequencies it emitted corresponded to the resonance of different
microbes, disabling them so severely that they were no
longer viable. Once the pathogens were disabled, the body
could then eliminate them.
Thousands of tests were successfully conducted on
infected animals. Some highly prestigious doctors and clinicians, impressed with the initial results, supported Rife
in other ways. They supported him financially, substantiated his findings, and used the Rife Ray in their clinics,
both in the United States and overseas. Some doctors even
sent Rife notarized affidavits stating the effectiveness of the
treatments. This was all done without poisonous drugs,
invasive surgery, unhealthy dependence on doctors, or
unfairly high medical bills. Accounts of Rife’s microscope
and ray device were published in journals, newspapers,
and medical bulletins across the United States.
Ironically, Rife’s treatments may have been too successful. The medical-pharmaceutical industry, foreseeing
a loss in profits from drugs and surgeries, spawned some
very vocal opponents—none of whom tested the machine.
As time passed, the physicians and financial backers who
had been Rife’s colleagues and friends became targets of
xvii
xviii THE RIFE HANDBOOK
character assassination. Medical boards threatened to revoke
the licenses of doctors who used the Rife Ray unless they
relinquished their equipment. Some of Rife’s closest collaborators later denied even knowing him, despite the
existence of one widely circulated photograph in which
they appeared with him. Articles on Rife and his inventions
began disappearing from publication archives. Clearly, Rife’s
Ray device worked. It was the greed of a powerful few that
deprived many of healing and even their lives.
The story of Rife, while unique in its details, nonetheless follows a familiar pattern: a holistic cure is discovered
that is non-invasive, successful and inexpensive; and then
the modality disappears. Like other promising holistic
treatments, Rife’s inventions were driven underground.
The long silence on Rife and his inventions was finally
broken with Christopher Bird’s article “What Has Become
of the Rife Microscope?” which first appeared in the
March 1976 issue of New Age Journal and was reprinted
later in other publications. Then in 1987, Barry Lynes
published The Cancer Cure That Worked, an impassioned
account of Rife’s life and inventions. But original data
gradually surfaced as well: Rife’s surviving lab notes,
along with old newspaper clippings, magazine articles,
letters, telegrams, photographs, certificates, awards, tape
recordings, and other assorted memorabilia provided vital
pieces of Rife history. Some researchers spent hours rummaging through “dead” file cabinets of newspaper offices.
Others were lucky to spot an article or two in obscure yellowing engineering journals. Still others uncovered family
documents in the attics and basements of descendents of
Rife’s colleagues and co-workers. A wealth of documents
and photos, unearthed over the years, are posted on the
Internet at www.rife.org.
Using this primary source material as reference guides,
scientists, health practitioners, electronics engineers and
curious laypeople began experimenting with different
types of machines as well as new frequencies. With a
rapidly growing, fresh generation of wellness seekers
demanding access to life-saving technology, a new era of
frequency healing was born.
Although frequency equipment has been substantially
modified since Rife and his colleagues treated people in
the 1930s, 40s and 50s, some of the principles of how the
devices work—microbe destruction through resonant
frequency—are the same. Despite the intimidation tactics of the medical establishment and some government
regulating agencies, more and more researchers are now
stepping forward to share what they know via the printed
page, radio, electronic media, and at conferences. Medical
clinics and formal and informal research centers exist
all over the world, in Mexico, Canada, New Zealand,
South Africa, Germany, Romania, and other European
countries. Designs and sales of second and third generation versions of Rife’s original ray device are even available
on the internet. The host of one Rife website (there are
now thousands of Internet pages featuring this and similar
technologies) reports that in January 2000 alone, his site
received visits from people living in North America, South
America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia.
It was around 1983 that I first heard about Rife and his
technology. Cryptic flyers from companies specializing in
unusual devices somehow found their way to me. From
time to time, electronics buffs and naturopaths would tell
me about a device that emitted frequencies to halt and even
reverse disease, but they couldn’t or wouldn’t elaborate. And
small independent magazines occasionally carried articles
about Rife. However, I didn’t know where to obtain such
devices—or, if addresses were available, I wasn’t sure if the
information was legitimate and the sellers honorable. Since I
still had more questions than answers about the information
I was gathering, I didn’t do much with the data.
Thus for many years, Rife and his inventions occupied
the same class as all the other unsolved mysteries of the
universe. But although the sparse data had the flavor of
a “too good to be true” rumor, my intuition nonetheless
told me that this information was vitally important and
would one day bear fruit. So I put everything into a file
folder labeled “Unusual Healing Technologies,” and waited,
remaining open for I knew not what.
Then in 1993 I met Howard Mitchell, a dulcimer
maker and musician who had majored in electrical engineering at Cornell and was now retired. With his highly
inquisitive mind, his engineering background, and his
love of tinkering with machines, Howie was an ideal
Rife researcher. (My friend had already demonstrated an
affinity for unusual science projects: one winter holiday, he
sent me several Petri dishes containing glow-in-the-dark
fungus.) Howie had previously been interested in frequencies as a musician, so learning about Rife was a logical
next step. When he informed me that unfortunately (for
experimentation purposes) he was in excellent health and
therefore had no way to test his (not one, but two) frequency devices, I could not believe my good fortune and
instantly volunteered to do it for him. Just as eagerly, he
accepted my offer. This is how my academic query turned
into a hands-on experiment.
Little did I know that my experimentation would continue indefinitely and lead me to unexpected and startling
places. I exposed myself to many different types and makes
of machines and tried nearly all of the frequencies that
were on the lists that came with the devices. My efforts
were rewarded when I avoided getting the flu, eliminated
various types of infections, and helped friends with health
problems of their own.
INTRODUCTION
As my friends and acquaintances discovered that I was
experimenting with rife technology, they began asking me
about Rife and his life, how frequencies work, and about
healing in general. Not knowing all of the answers—especially when they involved electronics, certain aspects of
physics and details about microbes—I pumped information from every knowledgeable professional who was
willing to talk to me. Dragging out my dusty medical
and science textbooks, I added to my knowledge about
biology, laboriously ploughed through chemistry, and
brushed up on physics. I also devoured every book on
Rife that I could find. The problem was that except for
Barry Lynes’s seminal biography, and one highly technical
manual about how to build a specific type of frequency
device, very little was available.
Compounding the problem of using the equipment was
the fact that information on frequencies was found in many
disparate places. So I began to compile a simple guide of
popular frequencies that I had personally found to be effective, while continuing to try new numbers.
My friends were growing impatient. They wanted me
to finish the guide so they could start using the frequencies. But it was becoming clear to me that I couldn’t
merely create a list of numbers to go with the equipment. I wanted people to understand what it means to be
healthy—and why, once they start using the frequencies,
they must work to eliminate the conditions that caused
the illness in the first place.
At that time, another area of my life also began
affecting my world view: my work as a Reichian (bodymind) psychotherapist. Increasingly, my clients began
struggling with serious illnesses. Having been raised to
believe that Western medicine was the only legitimate
modality, they weren’t totally convinced that holistic
methods could help them. It felt odd to me that some of
my clients had trouble understanding that physical disease
can heavily influence one’s emotional state, considering
that they had specifically sought my services based on
the understanding that unresolved emotions lodge in
the body as tension, eventually causing illness. It never
occurred to my clients that many emotional problems are
exacerbated—if not directly caused—by the same physiological and biochemical imbalances that contributed to
their diseases! This fired my resolve even more strongly
to become active as an educator.
As I became more involved with this technology, sharing
with friends and acquaintances became a full-time job.
Although my enthusiasm never decreased, my energy level
did. I had so much to share and explain that I was working
even when I was socializing. Recognizing that this was a
lot of information to handle, and that people tend to retain
written information more easily than verbal, I looked for
xix
documents that presented the material systematically and
clearly. I envisioned an all-purpose manual to meet a wide
variety of needs—a combination holistic health guide,
exposition on Rife and his work, and frequency directory, emphasizing cutting-edge research in medicine and
science. But nothing suited my exacting requirements.
After complaining for months about how hard it was to
obtain reliable information about Rife, in conjunction
with additional topics that I felt were essential, presented
in just the way I wanted, I realized that the person who
was supposed to put this all together was me. This is how
my little list of popular frequencies metamorphosed into a
project whose scope I could not have foreseen. This second
edition that you are now holding in your hands is the result
of my curiosity, learning, labor, and love over the course
of more than fifteen years.
So now that you have this Handbook, where do you
begin? Some readers, especially those who own frequency
devices, may be tempted to go directly to the Frequency
Directory chapter. This Handbook, however, is about much
more than microbe-destroying frequencies. It is about
freeing yourself from propaganda, trusting in your own
experience, and the self-confidence—and health!—that
blossom when you think and act for yourself. Please don’t
ignore Chapters 1 through 3, which suggest new ways to
think about your body and healing. They will enhance
whatever protocol you decide to use.
Chapter 1, “The Politics of Medicine and the Nature of
Health,” is a primer on allopathic and holistic medicine.
It explains why most drugs don’t work and usually make
you worse—and also how the majority of laboratory
testing is not only worthless, but can be rigged to “prove”
whatever outcome the experimenter wants. The reader
is also shown how drugs are approved, and by whom—
which in most cases involves politics and profit rather
than humanitarian concerns or even good science. [The
level of deception and number of outright lies, from both
the pharmaceutical industry and the FDA, have vastly
escalated since even a few years ago when this book was
first published. It is eye-opening indeed to contemplate
the impact of the medical-pharmaceutical industry on all
of our lives.]
Chapter 2, “The History of Pleomorphism and the
Inventions of Royal Raymond Rife,” features Rife’s
unusual life and the controversial debate over pleomorphism, a phenomenon little-known in the United States,
but widely understood in Europe. Pleomorphism is the
ability of microbes to radically change their form, structure and even function, depending on the ever-changing
terrain of the body. Rife’s microscope proved that in
many cases, microbes become dangerous only when the
system becomes biochemically unbalanced. This scientific
xx THE RIFE HANDBOOK
breakthrough played a pivotal role in Rife’s lack of acceptance by his mainstream colleagues. So, if you are attached
to the germ theory of disease, this chapter will give you
a new perspective.
The adage “the terrain is everything” leads us to
Chapter 3, which offers some of the most effective, userfriendly, and inexpensive “Complementary Therapies” to
help you detoxify and heal your system. This chapter is
for frequency device users who want to handle the effects
of sudden microbial die-off. It is also designed for nonusers who want to read about some of the best holistic
modalities all in one place. Those readers already familiar
with such protocols can learn new ways to approach what
they are already doing. Here, you will read about various
modalities such as oxygen, sauna and light therapies, and
Inclined Bed Therapy. There is also up-to-date information on diet and nutritional supplements. Finally, drawing
on my background in Reichian psychotherapy, I address
the relationship between mind and body and discuss the
psychological aspects of what we call disease.
Chapter 4 shifts our focus to the “how to” of Rife’s
technology. Readers unfamiliar with frequency devices
are given a wealth of information in “Frequently Asked
Questions About Rife Equipment and Sessions.” In order
to apply this technology correctly, you must learn who
might benefit from the equipment and who should not
use it, and under what conditions; what type of frequency
device will best suit your needs; how to give yourself a
session; how to select the correct frequencies; how to deal
with detoxification responses from microbial die-off; how
to administer sessions to children and pets; and more. If
you already have a frequency device, this chapter will help
you use it. If you do not have one, this chapter will help
you choose the unit that’s best for you.
Chapter 5 offers an extensive “Frequency Directory.”
After the reader is taught how to navigate through the
directory, an alphabetized listing follows that provides
frequencies for common and exotic diseases. In addition
to conditions like allergies, cancer, HIV, Lyme disease and
multiple sclerosis, the Frequency Directory includes the
viruses, bacteria, parasites and fungi that are implicated
in these symptom pictures. This chapter also doubles as
a basic medical primer for the layperson, so even those
without frequency devices will benefit from its contents.
Summaries of the functions of organs, glands and bodily
systems accompany the listings. When medical terms are
used, they are always translated into plain, everyday language. Suggestions for holistic therapies that complement
the frequency healing are also included.
The book closes with Chapter 6, “Creating a Better
World, Inside and Out.” Many people, taught to avoid
death, are unprepared when it happens and they fear it, both
for themselves and their loved ones. Yet paradoxically, the
dominant values in our culture are filled with death. The
economics, values, and lifestyle promoted by our culture
support misery, poverty, hate and fear, instead of encouraging joy, love, creativity and truth. We cannot die in peace
unless we live in love. In this chapter I discuss the changes
that must be made on all levels—personal, political and
transpersonal—in order for a life-based culture to emerge.
In keeping with this theme, I could not resist including some
exciting, groundbreaking scientific research that points to
the existence of what we call spirit, and proves without a
doubt that love heals.
Appendix A, “Resources,” lists some sources of information, products and services that can help us on the road
to health.
For those interested in making their own rife technology units available to other people, Appendix B, “Legal
Implications of Rife Sessions,” discusses some challenges
of using non-medically approved devices for healing
purposes. However, I am not an attorney; and different
countries and municipalities have different laws concerning the use of electromedical devices. To ensure that
you are in compliance with the laws of your own locale,
use this section as a guide only and then consult with an
appropriate professional.
Appendix C, “Healing with Electromedicine and
Sound Therapies,” is written for the layperson with no
background in physics or electronics. This overview,
which includes definitions and concepts related to the
electromagnetic spectrum and sound waves, will help
you better understand the more technical aspects of
electromedicine. Those who want to explore frequency
therapies in greater depth will find a listing of selected
published clinical trials, spanning over four decades,
in Appendix D. And Appendix E reports a promising
study by a US research team of a Bare-Rife unit killing
leukemia cells in vitro.
The References section includes both books that are referenced in the text and others not specifically cited. Since
many of the books are from non-mainstream sources, I
include detailed contact information for the publishers.
Several editorial notes are in order. When referring
to people suffering from various health problems, I use
terms like “people with cancer” or “people with multiple
sclerosis” instead of “cancer patients” or “multiple sclerosis
patients.” Although this phraseology can be a bit cumbersome, I avoid using “patient” because the word both
reflects and reinforces a hierarchical medical model that
exalts the doctor as the all-knowing savior and relegates
the seeker of health services to a subordinate role. Since
one theme of this book is self-empowerment, I try to
select my words carefully.
INTRODUCTION
A similar dilemma exists with the word “layperson.”
Obviously, “layperson” is a substitute for the gender-biased
“layman.” However, I discovered that initially “layman”
meant anyone (read: male) who was not a member of
the laity (clergy). Later, “layman” was expanded to mean
anyone who is not in a specialized profession. In other
words, a layman is a commoner, someone who holds no
title. In this dualistic world, titles of worth and prestige
are accorded to “experts” who are assumed to “know it
all,” while little respect is given to so-called “non-experts”
who do not hold prestigious titles or degrees. Therefore,
even though many laypeople are highly educated and
informed—sometimes even more than persons with
degrees—their lack of medical credentials apparently still
makes them commoners (and thus not worthy of esteem).
Alas, I could find no suitable, respectful word in English
that designates someone who is not a medical professional.
In using the words “laypersons” or “laypeople,” I mean no
disrespect. Sometimes the limitations of language can be
quite frustrating.
Despite my own language preferences, when quoting
others I try to respect the writer’s voice. Thus, if certain
words are used, such as “patient,” I leave them in.
Royal Rife’s name is used often, as one would expect.
Appropriate to this usage, “Rife” is capitalized. However,
“rife” is now being used as a verb (referring to the act of
giving oneself a frequency session). For these, and for
the nouns “rifing” and “rifer” (which refers to one who
gives oneself frequency sessions), the “r” is not capitalized.
Similarly, when used to describe frequency devices, “rife”
is not capitalized, since none of the devices in use today
were made by Royal Rife the man. A similar logic explains
why “rife practitioner” also uses a lower-case “r.” However,
when referring to the research, “Rife” is capitalized, since
engineers and scientists involved in this area are usually
investigating the man as well as the technology. (By the
way, the acronym RIFE, for Resonance Induced Frequency
Effect, has recently come into existence, to honor the many
types of frequency devices modeled after Rife’s original
equipment or similar principles of resonance that he used.)
My final editorial note concerns the completeness of
the information that appears in this volume. It seems that
every month brings a fresh scandal involving the medicalpharmaceutical industry. Likewise, more exciting and
innovative discoveries about health are constantly being
shared with the public. The information in these pages
was as complete as possible when this book went to press.
You are encouraged to continue researching on your own.
The persecution that Royal Rife endured from our government and medical establishment simply for inventing a
safe, inexpensive healing device is only part of the story
of frequency technology. Reading the available literature
xxi
about Rife and knowing which frequencies to use is a good
start. But to really understand rife frequency healing, you
must be willing to explore a radically different way of perceiving reality. This requires the mammoth (and not always
easy) paradigm shift away from the one-size-fits-all, pop-apill-for-instant-results mentality. It means being observant
and patient, trusting in the new paths to which your innate
intelligence leads—insights that you were not taught how
to cultivate during your conventional education.
Despite the remarkable success that I have personally
experienced and seen with friends who have experimented
with rife technology, there is no magic cure-all that has
been found to work for everyone always. Most people
respond favorably to sessions, but others may respond
minimally. The machines cannot effect miracle cures.
Your body is in charge of that. If you faithfully give yourself rife sessions, but continue doing what contributed to
your getting sick in the first place, the best equipment
in the world will not be able to induce lasting positive
changes. This is why when you use a healing modality is as
important as the therapy itself. Depending on the degree
and type of imbalance, at different times a particular
cleansing technique, healing modality, or frequency, may
work better than others.
Sometimes I hear people complain when their healing
regimen is not progressing according to schedule. But whose
schedule? We are not inanimate machines. Mechanized
medicine adheres to a prototype or standard of what it
defines as normal, yet people vary wildly outside the range
of presumed “normalcy.” How many times have you heard
of someone who felt unwell and received the following
response from a doctor? “There’s nothing wrong with you.
You’re in perfect health.” These experiences teach us that
we need to listen to our own bodies.
Admittedly, the line between listening to your body
and listening to your addictions can be fuzzy. People are
sometimes confused between these two, unsure which
voice to follow. Cravings can seem like legitimate needs,
and heeding the body’s signals for nutrients can feel indulgent if one doesn’t know what information to look for.
In this case, the guidance of a professional can be very
helpful. But you must use your powers of discrimination.
Who is the best person to help you? The one with the
greatest number of professional degrees may not be your
best choice. If your concerns are brushed aside, or if your
advisor places more importance on his or her knowledge
than on your own experience, you might do better with
someone else. The answers to wellness are not always
simple, because life isn’t simple. Since each person is different, there is rarely a single “right answer.”
Ultimately, your best teacher is you! You are the one
responsible for learning, deciding what to use and what to
xxii THE RIFE HANDBOOK
discard, trusting in your own (informed) experience, and
being accountable for your actions and decisions. These
qualities constitute true power. Don’t ever give away
your power. This book is one of many stepping stones
to acquiring the knowledge that you need to become an
expert on you.
In closing, I want to thank you for helping to create a
global paradigm shift, of which holistic healing is one part.
Even if you are fortunate to be in good or excellent health
now, it is comforting to know that this technology is available, should you or a loved one need it in the future. The
application of rife and other kinds of frequency technology
is bound to change the way medicine is practiced. As my
friend Howie once wrote me: “I am thoroughly delighted,
knowing that the experience of dealing with a disease
might be interesting and even pleasant, rather than physically debilitating and allopathically terrifying.” As more
people strive to live in a loving, respectful manner—
despite what those in power try to impose—everyone will
have a greater opportunity to prosper. I dearly want to see
this paradigm shift happen in my lifetime.
Welcome to the journey.
Addendum to Introduction
The first edition of The Rife Handbook was released in
March 2002, where it debuted at the Rife Conference held
in Las Vegas, Nevada, in the United States. Despite my
having steadily researched this technology for eight years,
I could not have anticipated how many people were hungry
for information about this unique healing modality. Nor
could I have grasped the diverse knowledge and sophistication of the many researchers in this field.
Attending the Rife Conference, as a speaker, author
and student, changed my life. Health professionals, device
manufacturers and engineers were at the conference.
But others attended, too—people who were ill or knew
someone with a serious disease. Tired of the same old
drugs-and-surgery routine dispensed by doctors who knew
nothing else to suggest, they wanted to try something else.
Several were already using the technology and recounted
successful interventions against cancer and Lyme disease.
The courage with which these folks were taking charge of
their own lives was immeasurable and moving.
I was also impressed by the dedication and talents of the
researchers. While it was true that they could sometimes be
quarrelsome and cantankerous—driven by their own preferences and pet theories about how things worked and how to
best accomplish their goals—it was because they cared. They
not only cared about whether others lived or died, they cared
about how people lived and about improving the quality of
other’s lives. Most significantly, as I later discovered, many
of the researchers (like me) had at some point struggled with
ill health. And some of them became Rife researchers after
the death of a close friend or family member.
It was hard not to feel overwhelmed by what the seasoned rifers knew, as I began to see how much there was
yet to learn. The field of rife therapy is so vast, it requires
the knowledge and expertise of people in many and diverse
disciplines: the healing arts (chiropractor, medical doctor,
homeopath, naturopath, veterinarian); medical and scientific research (laboratory technician, microbiologist,
microscopist); historical research (archivist, filmmaker,
writer); physics; and of course electronics engineers, with
their nuts-and-bolts skills of building equipment. Every
rifer has something to contribute. This technology could
not have come this far without input from everyone.
In the years that the first edition of this Handbook
was in print, I had the almost daily privilege of connecting with customers from all over the world: Australia,
Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Croatia, Denmark,
France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Italy,
Japan, Manila, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand,
Norway, Pakistan, the Philippines, Singapore, Slovenia,
South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, United Arab
Emirates, the UK, and Zimbabwe, as well as my native
United States. Words cannot adequately describe my
appreciation of these rich multicultural exchanges. The
health professionals wanted to know more, do more. And
the laypeople, many of them quite ill, made a point of
telling me how rigorously they had been seeking alternatives to the unhelpful medical treatments they had already
tried. We may not yet be regularly hearing about Rife and
his inventions in the mainstream media, but that has not
stopped the word about rife therapy from spreading. Many
xxiii
xxiv THE RIFE HANDBOOK
people know, or intuitively sense, that frequency healing is
a viable option, despite often discouraging comments from
mainstream sources. These seekers won’t stop searching
until they find something that works.
The last several years have yielded valuable new information on Rife and his inventions. For a long time, old 1936
movie footage showing Rife working in his lab provided
some of the best (and almost only) visual clues about the
equipment, besides equally old photographs. Then reel-toreel tapes, featuring Rife discussing the technology with
many important colleagues, were discovered in an old
trunk, cleaned of major hisses and pops, and transferred
onto CDs. A Rife Ray, built in the 1940s, was found in a
museum and restored by a team of resourceful engineers.
Shortly after that, a US researcher and machine designer
was given a box of priceless documents by an elderly nurse
who had once worked with John Marsh, a colleague of
Royal Rife’s. This rifer was then given access to an old
schematic of one of Royal Rife’s original units, built in
the 1930s. With help from other researchers—including
an engineer familiar with the tube technology of Rife’s
era—he deciphered the almost illegible drawing and reconstructed the model. After he found an actual prototype of
yet another model, we were closer to understanding how
Rife’s technology worked, and to producing more efficient
and optimally effective machines.
Synchronously, just after the year 2000, a German
microscope manufacturer launched an instrument that not
only can view minuscule viruses in their living state, but
exceeds Rife’s best microscope in magnification power and
breathtaking depth of field. This new instrument has already
begun to assist countless pathologists and other scientists in
their work to detect frequencies for diseases caused by new
virulent pathogens.
Recently, medical researchers have connected microbes
to conditions that one normally might not associate with
pathogens at all. One doctor found a corkscrew-shaped,
bacterial spirochete in the spinal fluid of over 90% of his
clients with Multiple Sclerosis. Two scientists—who for
years had formerly been dismissed by their colleagues for
stating that stomach ulcers are caused by a bacterium—
unearthed Helicobacter pylori in the stomach lining of people
with ulcers, and won a Nobel Prize. Actinomycetes is now
being linked to Parkinson’s disease. And there is irrefutable
evidence that a strain of Adenovirus is implicated in obesity.
Despite improved methods of identifying microbes with
their associated diseases, this doesn’t mean that we should
focus on the so-called germ theory as the foundation for
getting well. It’s true that Rife did focus on killing and
disabling microbes. But it would be a mistake to utilize
rife therapy solely (or even primarily) from an allopathic
perspective. Holistic medicine is founded on the need to
correct the bodily terrain; even Rife knew this. Also, we
are now realizing that Rife’s frequencies didn’t just kill
microbes. The field created by his ray machine apparently
also helped normalize tissue function. We are at the beginning of a new era filled with discovery, enlightenment,
growth and healing. I feel incredibly blessed to be part of
this worldwide movement.
You are riding the wave, too. Anyone who seriously investigates rife technology is making a statement. More and more
people are saying that they don’t want to be bought and
sold like commodities at the market. They don’t want to be
toyed with, experimented on, or lied to. They don’t want
their treatment options limited by what their doctors were
allowed to learn in medical school. And they don’t want their
doctors prevented from helping them by a licensing board
that prohibits health practitioners from suggesting alternatives to the prevailing standard of care. People want a voice
in matters that affect them, including the health care they
use. Most important, they want their health practitioners to
honor their need for compassion and hope as much as they
honor their need for physical care.
In essence, people want to have their humanity acknowledged and to be respected—free to make their own choices.
No wonder polls show consistently that three-quarters of
the United States population have sought complementary
therapies in addition to Western medicine!
More than ever, the powers that be are invested in maintaining the status quo at the expense of health, happiness,
and lives. You deserve congratulations for your strength of
character and vision to see through (and beyond) the dominant paradigm. It takes courage to challenge entrenched
hierarchy.
As the number of infectious and degenerative maladies
multiply, we need rife technology more than ever. Yet despite
an obvious worldwide interest in frequency modalities of all
kinds, information about rife therapy is available only to a
minority who know where to look for it. Most people remain
ignorant of this elegant technology that can substantially
reduce suffering and save countless lives. It is my sincere
hope that this Rife Handbook will make significant inroads
into changing people’s lives for the better.
Vilified and discredited by the ignorant, his technology
misunderstood and underutilized, Royal Raymond Rife died
in 1971. Today, roughly four decades later, rife frequency
therapy—while not yet a household word—is nonetheless
becoming more solidified in people’s consciousness. In some
circles, the technology is being used so regularly that the
word “rifing” has become a verb. I think that Royal Rife
would have been pleased and gratified that his modality is
finally being given the respect it deserves.
I trust that by the time you finish this book, you, too,
will be using the word “rifing” as a verb.

CHAPTER 1
The Politics of Medicine
and the Nature of Health
will we know what we’re really dealing with in our quest
for healing. Only by knowing the truth can we make truly
informed choices.
We all want to be healthy. Yet in this modern world,
good health seems more elusive than ever. The incidence
of chronic and degenerative diseases such as arthritis,
diabetes and colitis has skyrocketed. Cancer, which
according to the American Cancer Society afflicted
only one in 8,000 people living in the United States
in 1901, will strike one out of two Americans by the
year 2010. In addition, many more people are plagued
with ailments like asthma and food allergies, which,
although usually not considered life-threatening, can
be burdensome enough to substantially interfere with
one’s quality of life.
Citizens of industrialized countries outside the US have
fared better, at least so far. But with the rapid increase of
“fast” and “convenience” food, the prevalence and severity
of illness outside the US are quickly approaching that
inside the US. As for people living in non-westernized
countries, there is more illness than ever due to microbial
epidemics, many of which spring from unsanitary living
conditions. Viable long-range plans to improve the world’s
health have not yet appeared; global illness is an escalating
and severe problem.
Perhaps it’s time to change our approach. So far, we
have been given basically one approach to health. Do we
really have other options?
Yes! But in order to explore these other options,
we need to take a critical look at the existing medical
INTRODUCTION
Chances are, if you’re reading this book, either you have
a health issue, or you know someone else with a health
issue who’s looking for healing. Perhaps the treatment
you’ve been using hasn’t worked. Maybe the treatment
has produced too many unwanted symptoms. Or perhaps
the therapy is simply taking too long. Are there viable
alternatives for you, your family and friends? What are
these other modalities, and how can they be administered?
Perhaps you’ve heard about Rife the man, and about the
technology he invented. What is it, how do you use it, and
how can you get it fast?
If you suffer from a chronic or serious health problem,
it’s understandable that you may feel impatient and may
want to know immediately how to use frequencies. But
this chapter doesn’t talk about Rife. Why not?
Electromedicine, which includes rife technology, is not
routinely used for medical treatment. It’s not routinely
used because it’s not well known. But this doesn’t mean
that rife therapy doesn’t work. In order to optimally utilize
rife technology, it’s important to understand the limitations of our current medical paradigm, how this paradigm
has been misused, and why it has eclipsed other, more
effective modalities. Therefore, I ask for your patience
while I present the material in a manner that will provide
you with maximum benefit.
Some of the data that you’ll read may surprise and
even shock you. You will undoubtedly find much of the
information disturbing. But only by knowing the truth

paradigm. Once we can analyze what went wrong, we
can figure out how to make it right. Then, global illness
will become global wellness.
DEFINING HEALTH
The word healthy comes from an old Anglo-Saxon word
meaning “to heal, make whole.” This indicates that health
is the ability to function in a unified way, in which all
parts and living processes interact with each other in a
complex, balanced exchange.
We cannot be robustly healthy in general while some
little part of us is very ill, just as individual parts of us
cannot be in perfect health, while the rest of the body is
sick. How many times have you heard, “She was perfectly
healthy until she came down with cancer”? That “perfect
health” didn’t exist. It took time for that woman to reach a
state of imbalance. Her doctors and family just thought she
had been well because they were unable to recognize the
warning signs that indicated the eventual onset of cancer.
The limitations of conventional medical training impeded
not only the ability to diagnose, but also to cure.
There are two basic approaches to disease: allopathic
(modern Western) medicine, and holistic (complementary)
care. Although this chapter discusses allopathic medicine
to some extent, the book as a whole will focus on holistic
approaches and how to incorporate them into your life.
Most of us have been raised under an allopathic paradigm.
But with a little practice, you can expand out of the allopathic world into the wider arena of holism.
Allopathic medicine regards the body as a machine that
is the sum of its parts. If something breaks, it must be
fixed. One way to fix it is to cut out the body part or parts
that aren’t working (surgery). Another way to fix it is to
give the person a drug that substitutes for the function of
the body part or parts that aren’t working. Still another
way to fix the body is to numb the person against feeling
the uncomfortable symptoms—again, by administering
drugs. Drugs are created by extracting individual components from whole herbs, and/or synthesizing chemicals
in a laboratory.
Holistic care treats the person as a living entity of
interconnected relationships rather than as a carrier of
isolated symptoms we call disease. The body is a unified
organism that is greater than the sum of its parts. If something does not function properly, we need to find out why.
One way to improve function is to eliminate the poisons
that clog the system. Another way to improve function
is to give the person the appropriate building blocks to
restore health. The building blocks are natural substances,
ranging from foods, nutritional supplements and herbs
to electromagnetic frequencies that stimulate the proper
function of cells.
I want to make it clear that allopathic medicine does
have its place. If a motorist is seriously injured in an automobile collision, doctors can perform life-saving surgery.
If someone does not produce enough insulin (a pancreatic
hormone that helps the body utilize blood sugar) and is
about to fall into a dangerous diabetic coma, the administration of an allopathic drug can save a life. Emergencies by
definition require immediate intervention; we don’t have
time to wait for the body’s natural recuperative abilities to
start working and create the needed changes. It is wise to
acknowledge that sometimes, the body simply cannot heal
without a well-timed, externally-generated push.
Degenerative diseases, however, take time to develop.
Had the person possessed more biochemical and energetic
balance in the first place, s/he would not have reached the
point of requiring such drastic intervention. Restorative
steps could have been taken initially so there would not be
a sudden need for insulin later. With allopathic medicine,
invasive behavior is the norm and not the exception. With
preventive medicine, there is less need for aggressive intervention because the body’s innate ability to heal is being
respected instead of suppressed.
In America, allopathic medicine is called “traditional,”
while holistic medicine is commonly labeled “alternative.”
But it is allopathic medicine that should be called “alternative.” Holistic medicine has existed since ancient times,
while allopathic medicine has gained gradual prominence
only in the last 100 years.
As part of this attempt at cognitive reversal, allopathic
medicine is also called mainstream care. Being in the
mainstream (as compared to an incidental little trickle)
implies main treatment, which then translates to treatment of choice. But one must ask, “Whose choice?” Not
surprisingly, mainstream medicine is heavily promoted
by mainstream media, which casts holistic care as the
“other” or “alternative” modality—and, by implication,
as “secondary” or “inferior.” With few exceptions, the
media also tries to denigrate holistic care through such
misleading terminology as “controversial,” even though
the mainstream press itself has reported that about 75%
of the United States population has tried some form of
“alternative” holistic modality in the past several years.
In Immunization: The Reality Behind the Myth, Walene
James asks:
What is controversy? The word itself comes from
the Latin meaning “turned opposite.” That which
is controversial is turned opposite a dominating
structure, in this case, establishment medicine.
In a free and open society, there would be no such
THE POLITICS OF MEDICINE AND THE NATURE OF HEALTH
label as “controversial,” only disagreement within
an open forum of ideas and options. There would
be no one mainstream but many streams, each
meeting different needs.
Likewise with the word alternative as in
“alternative” medicine. What if we called [the]
Spanish [language] “alternative English”? The ethnocentrism—or is it chauvinism?—would be
obvious.1
People conditioned by the Western medical model view
it as the method of healing; they follow its dictates without
question. What if there were more options, models that
helped us take responsibility for our health rather than
give away our power to question and choose? What if
there were models that helped us unearth potential we
never knew we had?
The first step, then, to managing disease is understanding what it means to be healthy. What is health?
Health reflects an organism’s ability to grow and function at optimal physical, emotional and energetic levels
according to its nature. A healthy organism radiates vitality
or life force. It assimilates, transforms and redirects life
force—either back to itself when necessary, or outside of
itself. In biochemical terms, this organism absorbs nutrients, utilizes them for repair, transforms them into fuel
for energy, and removes toxic wastes that are a byproduct
of metabolism. Emotionally, the individual reaches out to
the environment (including other people), absorbs what is
optimal for growth, and then gives back to the environment
in an appropriate manner, while maintaining appropriate
and flexible boundaries.
An unhealthy organism does not radiate vitality. It
cannot adequately or efficiently utilize life force for its
growth. Lacking energy to give to its environment, it tries
to draw energy to itself. When extreme depletion occurs,
this state is known as disease, reflecting an organism’s
inability to optimally function and grow. Such an individual may also be emotionally restrained.
Randolph Stone, founder of Polarity Therapy, pointed
out that one’s level of health depends on a free flow of
energy in the body/mind system:
When these energy currents flow freely without
interruption there is a state of balance, . . . [a]
freedom of motion and function, called health.
. . . Interference in this natural flow of energy
manifests as a multitude of pains and symptoms of
energy blocks, where the current is short-circuited
and broken down. This is called “disease,” named
after the structure plus “itis” (inflammation) or
“algia” (pain), such as appendicitis, neuralgia or a
complete breakdown “lysis,” like in paralysis.2
5
When we are unbalanced, we must work harder to
maintain ourselves. There is less efficiency and enjoyment
in everyday activity. Eventually, the decrease of overall
vitality takes its toll: if the imbalance is severe enough, or
occurs over too long a period, degeneration begins.
There are different levels of being ill or out of balance.
Some common categories are physical, emotional, mental,
energetic and spiritual.
Physical imbalance is the easiest to spot. Nausea, fever,
or a sprained ankle may be characterized as physical.
Examples of emotional imbalance include unrelieved upset,
manic excitement, or uncontrollable rage. A mental imbalance often corresponds with emotional affliction, but
disordered thinking such as obsession can be assigned to
the mental arena for now. For those focused on practical,
concrete reality, energetic imbalances may be more difficult to detect or even accept as factual; but they can be
regarded as blockages that prevent limbs, organs, glands, or
entire systems in the body from functioning correctly.
The last imbalance on my list, spiritual, is even more
difficult to identify. Spirituality is a very personal matter,
and it means different things to different people. However,
I define it for myself as “the consciousness of All That Is,
that gives people the feeling of love and support through any
experience.” An example of a spiritual imbalance is someone
who feels depressed, lost or unloved because s/he doesn’t
feel connected to a larger community outside of self.
The ways in which these five areas of imbalances overlap
are many and complex. In fact, sometimes the structural,
biochemical and energetic aspects can be difficult to separate. Acupuncturists who take the client’s energetic pulse,
and chiropractors who use kinesiology (muscle testing),
are familiar with the relationships between structural
weaknesses in the body involving muscles and bones, and
imbalances in apparently unrelated organs and glands. For
example, an injured ankle may not simply reflect an isolated mechanical injury, but the end result of a weakened
digestive system, since the pathways of the liver and gall
bladder meridians run on both sides of the foot.
Another example of overlap is a queasy stomach and
vomiting—classic physical symptoms of indigestion.
But there may be an emotional component as well. Let’s
say a person is feeling upset due to a difficult situation.
Neurologically, the message of upset is conveyed via
electrical impulses that travel from the brain down the
spine to the digestive tract. This causes the stomach to
contract, interfering with the flow of digestive juices—
which in turn hinders digestion, perhaps even to the
point where vomiting may occur. Now add worry to the
mix. If the person is obsessing (a mental function) about
something upsetting that might happen, this “critical mass”
of both mental and emotional distress may not only fuel

Mental Illness or Lithium Deficiency?
The term “mental illness” is used freely—and, I believe, wrongly—by mental health professionals who use an allopathic
medical model to label people’s mental, emotional and spiritual distress. History shows that the definition of “mental
illness” usually depends on the prejudices and cultural conditioning of the person making the diagnosis.
Labels aside, emotional distress is very real. But the divergent ways in which this distress is treated have vastly
different consequences. Mental hospitals commonly prescribe the pharmaceutical lithium carbonate (or sometimes
lithium citrate) to treat bipolar disorder and manic depression. A typical dose of lithium carbonate provides over 1,500
mg. of elemental lithium, which accounts for its many serious “side” effects.
Compare the synthesized drugs lithium carbonate or citrate with the natural trace element lithium orotate. As
discovered by the recently deceased German doctor Hans Nieper, when certain organic mineral salts (including orotic
acid) are combined with other minerals, transport across the cell membrane is assured. This allows much lower doses
of the mineral to be used with optimal effectiveness.
The natural mineral lithium orotate, when taken in the amounts recommended by some holistic practitioners—
140 mg three times a day—provides a total of 15 mg of elemental lithium. Lithium the natural trace mineral helps the
body utilize nutrients. Natural lithium helps restore the brain signaling pathways that have been damaged by monosodium glutamate and other chemicals. Natural lithium enhances nerve cell DNA replication. And this natural trace
mineral binds to aluminum—a heavy metal that damages tissue—so the aluminum can more easily leave the system.
Since the aging brain shrinks—as shown by autopsies, X-rays and brain scans—the ability of lithium to promote brain
cell regeneration and increase brain cell mass, suggests its usefulness as an anti-aging nutrient as well as a viable
treatment for people with Alzheimer’s, senile dementia and even Parkinson’s.
Some naturopaths successfully treat emotional distress with homeopathic lithium. Medical doctor Jonathan V. Wright
advocates taking between 10 and 20 milligrams of lithium aspartate or orotate daily, to help protect the brain from
shrinkage, from damage due to chemical pollutants (including drugs), and from cell death due to loss of blood flow
(which can be caused by a stroke). Based on research from the Mayo Clinic and other respected institutions, Dr. Wright
also suggests natural lithium (along with other nutrients) for treating alcoholism, cluster headaches, fibromyalgia, gout,
and hyperthyroidism. Lithium may also prevent viruses from replicating, including the adenovirus, cytomegalovirus,
Epstein-Barr, Herpes simplex, and measles virus.
Overwhelming the body is an invasive practice taught by allopaths. Giving the body what it needs is the standard
of care for holistically-oriented professionals. From the available research, it seems clear that a major contributor
to mental and emotional imbalances is a deficiency of an essential trace mineral. Healthy water contains between
3 ppb (parts per billion) and 5 ppb of lithium, and unprocessed sea salt crystals contain minute amounts.

arrived—via vomiting, or coughing and sneezing through
the mucous membranes. Although the body is designed
to eliminate viruses and other microbes efficiently, vaccinations, as Van Beveren points out, bypass the body’s
“carefully designed evolutionary system by introducing
toxic matter directly into the bloodstream. This gives
the body no warning, . . . no chance to recognize . . .
or defend itself against future challenges from typical
antigens [foreign irritants].” 33 The medical establishment, by classifying these items as medical ingredients
under the term “immunization,” lends an air of integrity
and validity to the practice of injecting poisons into the
bloodstream.
One of the most controversial vaccines is the rabies
inoculation given to dogs and cats. Vaccinated pets suffer
extensive damage: joint pain, muscle aches, diarrhea, vomiting, skin eruptions, convulsions, even death. According
to articles appearing over 20 years ago in respected periodicals such as the Journal of the Neurological Sciences, the
significant increase of encephalomyelitis (brain inflammation), the eroding of myelin from the nerve sheaths, and
15
related autoimmune inflammatory diseases—to name
just a few conditions—are caused by the rabies vaccine.
Moreover, the animals often undergo personality changes.
Joyful, affectionate dogs become irritable, fearful and even
hyper-aggressive. This is not surprising, as chronic infection and inflammation now devastate the nervous system
and brain. Might the animals also be cranky because
they’re in pain? Essentially, they are suffering from a subclinical case of rabies!
Dogs are injured even more by being inoculated before
eight weeks of age, when their immune response is weak
and immature. And most are injected many times. One
widely-used veterinary textbook bluntly states that annual
revaccinations “lack scientific validity or verification. . . .
There is no immunological requirement for annual vaccinations. Immunity to viruses persists for years or for
the life of the animal.” 34 Ironically, records show that
many people bitten by “rabid” animals do not always die,
and live normally despite having refused the vaccine after
being bitten. Significantly, the very diagnostic tool for
rabies is flawed. Structures called Negri corpuscles—whose

to determine which children will react negatively to which vaccines.

16 THE RIFE HANDBOOK
Politics of Vaccines
A closed meeting transcript from June of 2000 recorded 53 scientists from the CDC [Center for Disease Control], FDA,
and the vaccine industry at the Simpsonwood Retreat Center in Georgia to review the findings of a statistically significant correlation between mercury-containing vaccines and neurological conditions. The discovery was made by CDC
employee Thomas Verstraeten, MD, using the CDC’s own data. The meeting was not open to the public or announced
in the Federal Register, and the CDC has still not made their findings public. Verstraeten has since left the CDC to work
for a vaccine manufacturer in Belgium. He has also not responded to a US Congressional subpoena. . . .
The CDC specifically cited a 1998 British Lancet study recommending more research into a potential link between
the measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism. . . .
The CDC’s inability to objectively and fairly evaluate vaccine risks was denounced by a three-year-long congressional
investigation.
“To date, studies conducted or funded by the CDC that purportedly dispute any correlation between autism and
vaccine injury have been of poor design, underpowered, and fatally flawed. The CDC’s rush to support and promote
such research is reflective of a philosophical conflict in looking fairly at emerging theories and clinical data related to
adverse reactions from vaccinations. . . . The CDC in general and the National Immunization Program in particular are
conflicted in their duties to monitor the safety of vaccines, while also charged with the responsibility of purchasing

existence in the spinal nerves and nerve cell plasma has
been used to prove the presence of the rabies virus—are
indistinguishable from the Lentz-Sinigallia corpuscle,
which appears in dogs with distemper. In the 1960s,
American veterinarian John A. McLaughlin performed
autopsies on dogs thought to have died of rabies, and found
no evidence at all of Negri corpuscles.
Vets with a conscience are now opposing repeated (if
any) vaccinations. But the widespread phobia of rabies in
the US makes it against the law not to repeatedly jab a dog.
One vaccine dose costs one dollar or less, and vets charge
fifteen to fifty times that amount to administer it. Is there a
financial incentive for yearly inoculations? Apparently, lawmakers and pet owners prefer to continually dose pets—and
cause the animals suffering—than rely on sound science.
Altered Viruses Cause Disease
Another compelling reason not to vaccinate is that whole
viruses or parts of viruses, in different states of presumed
activity, are chief ingredients of the formulas. In their
unaltered state when infecting the body in a “normal” way,
viruses can wreak havoc. They penetrate the cell membrane of the host, appropriating the host’s own DNA and
RNA in order to thrive and reproduce. Viruses are known
for their ability to remain dormant for long periods of
time, often hiding in the tissues of the body, until stress,
illness, or vaccinations re-activate them.
Now consider what might happen when altered
viruses are administered in the form of vaccines. The
two basic methods of preparing viruses for vaccine formulas are explained by homeopathic veterinarian Dolores
Sánchez-Peñalver.
“Modified live” [also called “weakened virus”]
vaccines are made up of particles of live viruses
that have been altered in a laboratory by passing
the virus through animal tissue repeatedly to
partially break it up and reduce its potency. . . .
Though some vaccines are referred to as “killed”
they are not truly killed. They are instead “inactivated” . . . generally with heat, radiation,
or chemicals. . . . [This] simply means that in
theory the virus cannot reproduce, multiply,
and create pathology.35
But the inability of the virus to reproduce in its customary manner doesn’t mean that it’s safe. When viruses
are put into vaccination formulas, “it doesn’t matter if
they are called ‘killed’ or ‘modified live’. . . . They’re still
THE POLITICS OF MEDICINE AND THE NATURE OF HEALTH
doctor can legally prescribe any drug, off-label use happens more frequently than one might think.
Some critics of this practice comment on the “frequently
inappropriate and non-tested uses of these medications in
spite of the fact that these drugs are only approved [and
presumably tested] for specific conditions.” 54 I think these
objections are unfounded for several reasons. One, most
clinical trials are deeply flawed anyway. Two, one can
experience “side” effects regardless of the stated reasons
for taking the drug. Three, sometimes a drug works better
for an off-label use than for the condition for which it was
created. Nonetheless, given the dangers of so many pharmaceuticals, there is a chance that someone with an “off-label
condition” might be harmed by such use.
Summary

(Note that although our discussion is about the approval
process in the United States, most other countries imitate the US.) In World Without Cancer, G. Edward Griffin
explains:
There is a great deal of evidence supporting the
nutritional-deficiency concept of cancer—more
than enough to convince most people that the
thesis is proven. But the word proven, when used
by the FDA, has an entirely different meaning. . . .
When the FDA says a therapy is proven, it means
only that its promoters have complied with the
testing protocols set by the agency to demonstrate
safety and effectiveness. It is important to know,
however, that the successful completion of those
tests does not mean, as the terminology implies, that the therapy is
safe and effective. It merely means

THE HISTORY OF PLEOMORPHISM AND THE INVENTIONS OF ROYAL RAYMOND RIFE
Edward Rosenow
Knowledge of the pleomorphic life cycle of microorganisms was not limited to Europeans. In 1914 in the US,
Dr. Edward C. Rosenow—who among his other accomplishments was an associate at the Mayo Clinic for over 60
years and published over 450 medical papers—wrote an
article in The Journal of Infectious Diseases. He described
taking a variety of bacterial strains from different diseased
tissues and placing them in separate Petri dishes that all
contained the same nutrient medium. When after a short
period of time he examined the different dishes, he found
no difference between the microbes. They all had transmuted into the same form! (He and his colleagues were
able to see this phenomenon almost 20 years later through
Royal Rife’s microscope. This will be discussed shortly.)
When Rosenow later returned the altered microorganisms
to their original diseased tissues, their offspring assumed
the original form and function of the parent microorganisms. Rosenow’s simple experiment has been successfully
repeated by other scientists.
A. Van Beveren writes:
Thus there is no “streptococcus” for the throat and
“pneumococcus” for the lungs. They are the very
same bacteria feeding on—and being modified
by—the substance they are breaking down. This
is pleomorphism and, while once ridiculed, [it]
is now being reconsidered in light of improved
microscopic techniques.19
ROYAL RAYMOND RIFE
A Renaissance Man
As we explore the history of the discovery of pleomorphism, a major repeating theme is the quality of the
microscopes used by the researchers. Although the microscopes of Béchamp’s time limited his ability to report in
minute detail the appearance of the microzymas, he could
certainly identify them by function and location. The
scientists who followed him achieved much more detailed
descriptions due to improved microscope technology. This
brings us to Royal Raymond Rife.
Royal Rife was born in Nebraska in 1888. He was raised
by an aunt and uncle, as his mother died shortly after his
birth and his father was apparently unable to take care of
him. By 1912, Rife had moved to San Diego and married
a Chinese-American woman named Mamie Ah Quin.
Mamie, the third of twelve children, had been born
into a wealthy and highly respected family within the
San Diego Chinese community—in fact, her father was
81
regarded as the unofficial mayor of Chinatown. Among
his many accomplishments, the elder Ah Quin was a labor
broker, recruiting newly arrived Chinese immigrants to
build the railroad. He also had considerable bilingual talent
and extensive legal knowledge, which made him a favorite
translator in the courts. More is known about the Ah
Quin men than the women. For instance, one of Mamie’s
brothers later became part owner of a tourmaline mine
that supplied jewels to the Dowager Empress in China.
But we do know that all of the Ah Quin children were
reported to have received musical instruction. And, from
what we know about the father’s efforts to assimilate into
American culture (he cut off his back braid, an offense
punishable by death in China)—and the entrepreneurship of the men in the family—it’s reasonable to assume
that Mamie’s upbringing similarly focused on breeding,
education and adaptation to a new culture. All this, and
Mamie’s striking physical beauty, evidently attracted
Rife to her. Because it was illegal for Caucasians to marry
non-Caucasians at that time, Rife and Mamie probably
got married across the border in Tijuana. (The youngest
daughter Mabel also married a Caucasian, and records
show that she did so in Tijuana in the 1920s.)
The newlywed Rifes moved onto the estate of San
Diego millionaire industrialist H.H. Timken, who hired
Rife as his chauffeur and car mechanic. Timken quickly
recognized that Rife was not a typical employee. A gifted
musician and artist, Rife had already educated himself in
the fields of optics, electronics, biology and chemistry.
Additional education for Rife included studies at Johns
Hopkins University, two years of training to perform eye
surgery, and six years of study with optical scientist Hans
Luckel, who worked for German-based company Zeiss
Optics and was in the New York plant when he taught
Rife. (Rife is also said to have received an honorary Doctor
of Parasitology degree from Heidelberg University, but
this cannot be verified. One rifer who claims to have a
copy of the degree has not allowed it to be publicly examined. Others who queried the university have been told
that no such degree has been located.)
In his lifetime, Rife is known to have designed and built
many medical research instruments including spectroscopes, optical tools, micromanipulators, and stop-motion
photomicrographs. With one of his own photomicrograph
inventions, he is thought to have made all of the pictures
that appeared in the Atlas of Parasites, published by the
University of Heidelberg in Germany. According to several
reports, the governments of the United States and several
foreign countries later awarded Rife over a dozen medals
for scientific work involving variable pitch propellers,
machine gun synchronization gears, inclinometers, and
high altitude barometric pressure scales.
82 THE RIFE HANDBOOK
Royal Rife reportedly had a period with the United
States Navy during World War I when he traveled to
Europe to examine foreign laboratories for the US
government. Among other tributes, he was awarded a
Research Fellowship in Bio-Chemistry by the Andean
Anthropological Expedition Institute for Scientific
Research on August 10, 1940. According to Rife
researcher and engineer Dave Felt, Rife was also offered
an honorary Doctor of Science degree by the University of
Southern California in 1936, but never accepted it.
One of Rife’s inventions had been some sophisticated
X-ray equipment that Timkin was using to examine the
entire assembly line in his tapered roller bearing factory.
Around 1920, the X-ray array detected faulty hairline
fractures in the steel that was used to manufacture the
bearings. This saved Rife’s grateful employer hundreds
of thousands of dollars. Thereafter, Rife spent even more
time in his laboratory, which was located above the garage
on the Amelia C. Bridges estate and had been financed by
Bridges and other wealthy sponsors, including Timken. It
was in this lab that Rife created some remarkable optical
equipment.
The Universal Microscope
Rife was used to working alone. However, he was catapulted into the public eye when he built the first of five
microscopes that were far superior in resolution or performance to anything thus far available. Although Rife was a
contemporary of both Enderlein and Reich, he appeared
to be unaware of the microscope technology and research
of his European counterparts. We do know that he was so
dissatisfied with the existing level of microscopy, he was
determined to create something better.
The most powerful and celebrated instrument, completed in 1933, was the 200-pound, 5,682-part Universal
Microscope. Standing between two and three feet high, it
had a magnification power of about 60,000 times, with a
resolution of 31,000. Rife’s microscope had some unique
design features. “The New Microscopes” by Raymond E.
Seidel and M. Elizabeth Winter, which described how
the Universal Microscope worked, appeared in a 1944
Journal of the Franklin Institute and was reprinted in the
Annual Report of the Board of Directors of the Smithsonian
Institution for the period ending June 30, 1944. (Rife later
remarked that despite a few errors, the article was basically
correct.) Some highly technical details from the article are
included to illustrate the level of expertise and legitimacy
conferred on Rife by the medical community.
Dr. Royal Raymond Rife of San Diego, California
. . . has built and worked with light microscopes
which far surpass the theoretical limitations of the
ordinary variety of instrument. . . . The entire
optical system of lenses and prisms as well as
the illuminating units are made of block-crystal
quartz . . . . The illuminating unit used for examining the filterable forms of disease organisms
contains fourteen lenses and prisms. . . .
When light comes into contact with a polarizing prism, it is divided or split into two beams,
one of which is refracted to such an extent that
it is reflected to the side of the prism without,
of course, passing through the prism while
the second ray, bent considerably less, is thus
enabled to pass through the prism to illuminate
the specimen. When the quartz prisms on the
universal microscope, which may be rotated
with vernier control through 360°, are rotated
in opposite directions, they serve to bend the
transmitted beams of light at variable angles of
incidence while, at the same time, a spectrum
is projected up into the axis of the microscope,
or rather a small portion of a spectrum since
only a part of a band of color is visible at any
one time. However, it is possible to proceed in
this way from one end of the spectrum to the
other, going all the way from the infrared to
the ultraviolet. Now, when that portion of the
spectrum is reached in which both the organism
and the color band vibrate in exact accord, one
with the other, a definite characteristic spectrum
is emitted by the organism. . . .
A monochromatic beam of light, corresponding
exactly to the frequency of the organism (for
Dr. Rife has found that each disease organism
responds to and has a definite and distinct wave
length, a fact confirmed by British medical
research workers) is then sent up through the
specimen and the direct transmitted light, thus
enabling the observer to view the organism stained
in its true chemical color and revealing its own
individual structure in a field which is brilliant
with light. [emphasis added] 20
Rife’s method of illuminating microbes was extraordinary. Microbes seem invisible to us because the human
eye can see only a very narrow band of light (color) on
the electromagnetic spectrum—and not in the ultraviolet range that many microorganisms reflect. However,
applying certain laws of optics, Rife translated the natural emanations of the microorganisms to the portion
of the electromagnetic spectrum that humans can see.
By rotating the microscope’s quartz prisms in various
THE HISTORY OF PLEOMORPHISM AND THE INVENTIONS OF ROYAL RAYMOND RIFE
Barry Lynes quotes a close friend and co-worker, Benjamin
Cullen, who watched the scientist regularly:
I’ve seen Roy sit in that doggone seat without
moving, watching the changes in the frequency,
watching when the time would come when the
virus in the slide would be destroyed. Twentyfour hours was nothing for him. Forty-eight
hours. He had done it many times. Sit there
without moving. He wouldn’t touch anything
except a little water. His nerves were just like
cold steel. He never moved. His hands never
quivered.
Of course he would train beforehand and go
through a very careful workout afterward to build
himself up again. But that is what I would call one
of the most magnificent sights of human control
and endurance I’d ever seen.37
Rife’s technology did not harm the human or animal
host. The oscillatory rates of humans and small mammals
are much more complex than (and much different from)
the MORs of microscopic viruses, bacteria or fungi. Rife
was confident about the safety of his equipment, and stated
this on numerous occasions.
With the [50 to 60 watts of] power that is in these
[ray tubes], there is absolutely no harm. . . . I had
my [ray] tube right here . . . about 11 or 12 inches
away from the slide in the microscope. And here
I was with . . . that tube going . . . year after year
. . . and it never harmed me any.38
And:
I stood in front of that thing [his RF ray tube] for
30 years finding these different frequencies that
devitalize these different bacteria. And that thing
was shooting on me right here [his chest], but it is
absolutely harmless to normal tissue.39
The non-invasive nature of this new method began
generating great excitement in the medical community.
Case Studies
By the end of 1932, Rife was destroying the typhus
bacteria and the cancer and other viruses that were
both grown in cultures and inoculated into lab animals.
Then, as well as now, standard scientific protocol for
testing drugs and other treatments involved using two
groups of infected animals: the group that received
treatment, and the control group that did not. If significantly more animals in the treated group lived than
89
did those in the control group, this presumably indicated that the treatment was effective. To prove the
effectiveness of the Rife Ray, Rife was obliged to follow
this standard procedure. He injected his rats with the
disease organisms. Then he withheld treatment from
the control group (all of whom died), and gave treatments to the other rats (all of whom lived). Within the
confines of scientific protocol, Rife was kind to the
animals. To spare them pain (which also made them
easier to handle), he administered anesthesia before
giving them injections or doing surgery.
Rife describes the scientific protocol in detail:
On one series of cancer tests, I inoculated the
virus which I had isolated and filtered from an
unulcerated breast mass into an albino rat. The
tumor was allowed to grow and then I surgically
removed the tumor and again isolated and filtered
the virus from a portion of the ground up tumor
and inoculated the next rat and repeated this
procedure 411 times to prove that this virus was
the causative agent of cancer.40
Eventually, Rife had to prove that microbes could be
destroyed in humans without harming the host. To secure
human subjects for his case studies, he was assisted by Dr.
Milbank Johnson.
Johnson, the medical doctor who had hosted the historic dinner honoring Kendall and Rife, was enormously
wealthy, reportedly having assets worth around $15 million. After receiving a Doctorate from Northwestern
Medical School in 1893, Johnson was awarded a
Doctor of Law degree in 1916 from the University of
Southern California, and another degree in 1920 from
Northwestern University. The medically-related posts
he held during his illustrious career included Professor
of Physiology and Clinical Medicine at the University of
Southern California; Chairman of the Claims Committee
of the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company in 1920,
and Claims Director most of the years from 1906 until
1936 (his retirement); member of the board of directors
at California’s Pasadena General Hospital; Chief Surgeon
of the Southern California Edison company; and member
of the Los Angeles Board of Health.
Johnson’s humanitarian nature and his interest in
eliminating illness are amply demonstrated in his surviving letters. The fact that his first wife died in 1920 of
cancer, plus a Streptococcus infection following radiation
treatments, undoubtedly made him even more interested
in Rife’s clinics. It was Dr. Johnson who convinced
Timken to help finance Rife’s new laboratory, which was
built around 1935. Generally, Johnson remained loyal
THE HISTORY OF PLEOMORPHISM AND THE INVENTIONS OF ROYAL RAYMOND RIFE
and attempt to buy into the company.” Beam Rays declined
their offer, so Fishbein’s representatives then “bribed
one of Rife’s partners, Philip Hoyland, with $10,000 to
compel him to proceed as their agent—or, as Cullen calls
it, their ‘stooge.’” With the assistance of a high-priced
lawyer, Hoyland “attempted a hostile takeover of Beam
Rays through a contrived lawsuit aimed at replacing the
Board of Directors (and positioning Hoyland and his gang
as the replacements).” This included “conspiring with
C.R. Hutchinson”—a corporate entrepreneur who saw
an opportunity to get rich by promoting the technology
that cured cancer—“to slowly freeze Rife out of their
shared ownership deal.” 51 In addition, there were more
deals and “side” deals, which split up the ownership of
Beam Rays Corporation even more. The structure of the
corporation was not only incredibly convoluted, but also
undoubtedly illegal.
Another unscrupulous act Hoyland committed was the
complete redesign of the Beam Ray. Montgomery points
out (just as Comparet had) that the device could not
be patented—for it was “a variable frequency generator
hooked up to a helium tube. It couldn’t do anything different enough or distinct from already existing equipment
to be eligible for patent consideration. It was obvious to
all that the only things of value in the process they were
endorsing (or selling) were the MOR frequencies. And
they only had value if they were secret.” 52 Of course
Rife, Hoyland and a very few trusted associates knew
the frequencies—but not the company’s board of directors, executive officers or shareholders. If the frequencies
were common knowledge, there was nothing to prevent
others from building their own equipment. This would
mean no compensation to Rife for his hard work, time,
energy and vision. Hence, Hoyland built the units so that
the frequencies—as well as the methods used to generate
them—were disguised. See Insert, “Permutations of the
Rife Ray,” for more details.
One might generously concede that Hoyland’s redesign
of the Beam Ray was justified—except, as Montgomery
summarizes:
It wasn’t long before it became apparent that
Hoyland’s revamped design for the Beam Ray
Machine was unstable. Hoyland was constantly
called upon to go to the doctor’s office and “fix
the machine”: recalibrate dial settings, service
a leaky tube, solve overheating issues, solve
“frequency drift” problems. As the summer of
1938 waned, Beam Rays Corporation started
to become unglued. [From] reading the letters,
transcripts [and] depositions, there is a sense
that a stark realization was slowly dawning upon
93
them—both collectively and as individuals—that
this hastily arranged business venture might be as
inherently unstable as Hoyland’s machines were
turning out to be.53
Making a bad situation even worse, Hoyland also
defrauded a group of wealthy British doctors who had paid
for several ray units, but to whom he sent incompletely
assembled and improperly calibrated equipment—which,
as a result, did not operate correctly. Attorney Bertrand
Comparet later called it “deliberate sabotage. . . . They
[Rife and his associates] wanted a saleable instrument and
Hoyland was making junk.” 54
One of the most sad and frustrating aspects of this
whole situation was that Royal Rife passively allowed it
to happen. Like many geniuses devoted to science, Rife
refused to get involved with the business end of his beloved
research. Montgomery bluntly states:
He could do just about anything he wanted to
when it came to tinkering, building, conceptualizing, formulating or configuring. But when it
came to “the art of people,” Rife was a bit of a
dummy. Rife was the first one to admit that he
was not a businessperson. Imagine his trepidation
at having among his inventory of inventions a
little box that demonstrably cures cancer and any
infectious disease—a thing that not only needs
to be marketed, but demands it. So what did
Rife do? He started giving away ownership and
control of his invention in order to pass this “business responsibility” onto others. He signed over
55% ownership of the Beam Ray device to Philip
Hoyland. Rife gave him a controlling interest
because he felt that would provide just enough
incentive to make it work. Rife’s attorney [at
the time] . . . the man responsible for notarizing
the agreement, thought this was insanity and
counseled Rife to substantially reduce Hoyland’s
percentage. But Rife was adamant. Hoyland had
designed and built the version of the machine in
question while working for Rife over the last few
years for very little pay, [so Rife thought] it was
fair. . . . A pliable, vulnerable and somewhat inept
Dr. Rife allowed himself to be manipulated by
people he trusted . . . [including Philip Hoyland,
who used him] as a document-signing puppet.55
After the trial, Ben Cullen stated that Philip Hoyland had
admitted to him that although he had accepted the $10,000
bribe “to scuttle the whole Beam Rays operation,” he later
“was very sorry and wished to God he’d never accepted

and Marsh, he said, “were ignorant people. You couldn’t
simply hand them the instrument and tell them, ‘Go
home and use it.’ They didn’t have brains enough. So
Crane went there with his instrument and operated the
thing himself to make sure it would be done correctly.” 72
One customer was a woman whose condition markedly
improved “until finally they [presumably her doctors] told
her she should go to the county hospital and get a blood
transfusion. And she came back from that in very much
worse shape, and died a week or so later. He [Crane] had
to admit on the stand [that] he and Marsh had gone there
and operated the instrument to give the treatment, and
neither of them had an MD license. . . . That’s why John
Crane served his time.” 73
As for Royal Rife, he was now almost 73 years old—and
in no state to endure the stress and indignity of another
trial. He secluded himself in Mexico and refused to come
to the US as a witness. No notarized medical reports in
favor of the frequency instrument were allowed at the
trial, either from physicians or from those they treated.
Rife’s own written testimony—in the form of answers to
questions posed by Crane’s lawyer—was not introduced
into the record because, Comparet later explained, Rife
understandably refused to come and testify in court.
It’s worth noting that Crane had previously invited
numerous governmental agencies and private organizations to test the AZ-58. Among those he contacted were
the United States Department of Health, Education and
Welfare; the National Research Council Committee on
Growth; The American Cancer Society; The Damon
Runyon Fund; Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Institute
in New York City; and the International Cancer Clinic.
But no one expressed interest.
Rife had strong feelings about this. “The American
Cancer Society,” he wrote in the document submitted to
but not accepted by the court, “was interested until they
found out that John Crane and I are not medical doctors
and then they called John Crane from New York and
stated that they had decided to cancel the proposed project
which would have shown them how to isolate the virus,
make it virulent, grow the cancer tumors and how to
electronically eliminate the cancer.” One can only imagine
his frustration as he continued:
They spend millions on drugs but nothing on
electronics, unless it will supplement drugs like
X-ray and radioactive treatments, which put
terrible scar tissue and burns inside the body.
And then the person has to have a great amount
of dope and pain killers to keep the pain down.
The drug racketeer makes $10 billion annually
on cancer alone [this was in the 1950s], and
115
with this money they have been able to have an
unconstitutional law put on the books which
stated that people will only be treated for cancer
by medical doctors with X-ray, radioactive treatments, and surgery—creating a drug monopoly
to kill cancer, slowly.74
Except for the few labs that had tested the device solely
to make sure it did no harm, no organization, hospital,
clinic or medical society ever tested the units on human
beings. The only medical opinion represented at the trial
was from a doctor who had been given a frequency instrument to test two months previously and decided that it
didn’t work—even though he admitted in court that he
had never tested or evaluated it! The jury was comprised
of people with no medical background, except for the
foreman who was an allopathic doctor opposed to the
entire concept of frequency therapy.
The AMA board under the Director of Public Health
declared the frequency instrument unsafe, and banned
it from the market. Both Marsh and Crane served three
years of jail time, and were released in 1964, with orders
not to associate with one another.
But the AZ-58 refused to die. Just before Crane’s
incarceration, he and Marsh reconstructed the device
so it transmitted frequencies via electrodes rather than
the more expensive gas-filled glass tube. A common, offthe-shelf audio frequency generator costing around $200
was used to produce the frequencies, since it’s easier
and cheaper to buy a mass-produced item than to build
something from individual parts. This new device had
no RF carrier. It utilized square waves and frequencies
in the hertz range.
John Marsh continued to build both pad and ray
tube instruments until his death in 1987. However,
his activities were not as widely publicized as Crane’s.
After his release from prison, Crane did a brisk business
selling electrode units. Noted for his tendencies toward
hyperbole, he claimed benefits from this new device
that seemed to rival (if not surpass) results achieved
by Rife’s original unit. This new machine was touted
as successful in treating chronic bladder irritation,
cataracts, fungal growths on the hands, growths over
the eyes, anal fissures, pyorrhea, arthritis, ulcerated
colon, varicose veins, prostate troubles, colitis, pains
in the back, and heart attacks. Crane also wrote a
lengthy, creative manual on how to use rife therapy
with pad devices, and included the additional elements
of polarity, color and magnetism.
Thanks to this new pad device, a new generation of
rifers emerged. But Crane’s units were expensive. An
engineer friend of mine who bought a unit from Crane

Until a man duplicates a blade of grass, nature can laugh at his

138 THE RIFE HANDBOOK
Chlorine: A Poor Choice for Water Purification
Chlorine, commonly added to municipal water supplies to kill pathogens, is very dangerous. Highly reactive, it readily
combines with other substances to form a variety of toxic compounds, including carcinogenic trihalomethanes, nitrogen
trichloride (a cause of asthma in chlorinated pools), and other byproducts. These chemicals cause, among other
problems, birth defects, cancers of the bladder, bowel, breasts and kidneys, fertility problems, heart disease, including
high blood pressure and hardening of the arteries, and immune breakdown.
Chlorine was originally used as a deadly weapon during World War I. However, it is so ubiquitous now, its use is
considered normal. Aside from poisoning the body, chlorine (like fluoride and bromine) creates additional problems
because it displaces the beneficial mineral iodine. Without iodine, the thyroid gland cannot manufacture thyroxin, the
hormone used to regulate metabolism—and whose absence causes problems ranging from abnormal body temperature to depression. Without iodine, the body is also unable to protect itself adequately against infections, including
cancer. Most of the iodine the body uses is located in the thyroid, breasts, lungs and sinuses.
There are many ways in which chlorine can get into the bloodstream. When put into bath or shower water, swimming
pools or hot tubs, it’s absorbed directly through the skin. Hot or even warm bathwater causes the pores of the skin to
become larger, so any chlorine in that water will be absorbed readily. Showering in chlorinated water is the equivalent
of drinking eight glasses of it at once. Breathing in steam from the hot water allows the chlorine to directly enter the
lungs, where it causes asthma, bronchitis and other respiratory conditions due to its ability to damage the lining of
the lungs. Chlorine is also a serious eyes irritant, making them itch and burn. Even if no serious disease develops, the
chemical dries out the skin’s natural moisture barrier.
Chronic exposure to chlorine—which is not difficult, considering it’s put into drinking water and swimming pools—
creates chronic inflammation. Over time, cells and tissues become damaged faster than the body can repair them.
Simply put, cell damage equals disease and aging. Symptoms from chlorine exposure occur long before the chemical
can be smelled, at levels over 3.5 parts per million (ppm).
There is absolutely no reason to use chlorine as a water purifier, especially with other options, such as ozone and
colloidal silver, available.
As already discussed, when ions are present in a liquid,
electrical energy can be conducted through the solution. In a fluid, different elements form ions in varying
amounts, depending on the ability of the atoms to gain or
lose electrons. These atoms dissociate, or ionize, in solution to form either hydrogen ions (H+) or hydroxyl ions
(OH–). Depending on the presence or absence of H+
and OH– ions, a given solution will be acidic or alkaline.
If the hydrogen ion (H+) concentration is higher than the
hydroxyl ion (OH–) concentration, the material is acidic
(as in “acid”). If the hydrogen ion (H+) concentration is
lower than the hydroxyl ion (OH–) concentration, the
material is alkaline (or basic, as in “base”). Put another
way, if there are more hydroxyl ions (OH–) than hydrogen
ions (H+), the liquid will be alkaline.
In water, any acidic minerals present are negatively
charged, and any alkaline minerals present are positively
charged. Some common acidic minerals are iodine,
sulfur and phosphorus. Some common alkaline minerals
are potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, iron and
manganese. The presence of acidic minerals (which have
a negative electrical charge) corresponds to positively
charged H+ ions. The presence of alkaline minerals (which
have a positive electrical charge) corresponds to negatively
charged OH– ions.
During water electrolysis, the two opposite-polarity
ions, OH– and H+, are created when an electrical charge
is passed through the water. Then an elaborate dance
begins. Sang Whang, an enthusiastic proponent of water
ionization, explains:
Alkaline minerals in the positive electrode
chamber migrate into the chamber with [the]
negative electrode; the positive electrode repels
positive charges and the negative electrode attracts
positive charges. As these positively charged
alkaline minerals enter the negative electrode
chamber, they combine with hydroxyl ions (OH–)
in H2O, kicking out hydrogen ions (H+). These
hydrogen ions then travel to the negative electrode
and give up their positive charge and become electrically neutral hydrogen molecules (H2).
The opposite process takes place with acid
minerals. Acid minerals migrate into [the] positive
electrode chamber and combine with hydrogen
ions (H+) in H2O, kicking out hydroxyl ions
(OH–). These hydroxyl ions then travel to the
positive electrode, lose negative charge and
become water (H2O) and oxygen (O2). In the
ionizer, oxygen gas is released from the acid water
174 THE RIFE HANDBOOK
animals are not evolutionarily designed to eat grain. Grain
disrupts the animals’ metabolism, as well as the metabolism
of the humans who eat them. Insulin production abnormally escalates, which in turn raises the overall fat content
in the animals. Every cattle rancher knows that grain puts
weight on the animals. This is why cattle fed mostly on hay
(for convenience) are fattened up on grain for a few days or
weeks just before they’re slaughtered. The ranchers get the
most money for the heaviest weight.
The increase in fat is not only cosmetic. In animals fed
grain for any length of time, the thick white fat marbled
throughout the flesh contains an approximate 30:1 ratio
of Omega 6 to Omega 3 fats. (There are different types
of fats, which perform different functions. Among other
features, Omega 3 fatty acids are anti-inflammatory.)
The typical American diet contains from 10 to 30 times
more Omega 6 fatty acids than Omega 3. But a healthy
diet should consist of no more than 3:1 of Omega 6s
to Omega 3s—or even equal amounts of each. Since
Omega 3 fatty acids cannot be made by the body and must
be obtained from food, this imbalance may contribute to
the rising rate of inflammatory disorders in the United
States. When we eat these animals, we eat what they ate.
And we are affected just as if we had been fed grain. I will
say much more about grain later in this chapter.
Chickens, turkeys, ducks and birds in general do require
starchy grains and seeds in their diet. However, they are
also designed to live outdoors so they can scratch and
peck for grubs and insects that live on or in the ground.
Inherently, chickens and other birds are not vegetarians.
They need the additional protein that bugs provide. So,
when the supermarket label proclaims that your chicken
was fed an all-grain diet (as if this is desirable), be aware
that because your bird has put on extra fat due to such a
diet, you could, too. Genuinely free range chickens and
other birds that are given access to open pasture, and are
allowed to snack on unsprayed fruit and vegetable scraps,
have a much more nutrient-rich diet. You will too, if you
eat such birds.
Pastured Poultry
Not to be confused with “pasteurized,” this term refers to
birds that live in a movable enclosure that shelters them
from the elements. The structure is moved once or twice
daily to a new piece of pasture so the birds can forage for
insects (which comprise 20% of their diet). Birds raised
this way are much happier and tastier than free range.
They are also much harder to find.
Animal-Compassionate or Humanely Raised
This relatively new term, which is not legally binding, is
used to persuade consumers that the animals that provide
their meals are being treated humanely. But what the
consumer assumes, and how the animal raisers actually
treat the animals, may be two different things. Personally,
I think that the only compassionate way to raise animals
is to give them ample space, sunlight, company of their
herd or flock, and either the opportunity to forage, or a
completely natural diet that replicates what they would eat
if left to forage for themselves. Whether animals raisers
will do this remains to be seen.
Sustainable
This term, which is not legally binding, is now being
used to reassure the consumer that the animals are
raised in such a way that minimizes large accumulations
of waste and has the least amount of negative environmental impact. However, what the consumer assumes,
and how the animal raisers actually treat the animals and
the land, may be two different things. Optimal sustainability involves moving the animals around to graze and
forage naturally; allowing the animals to fertilize the
land with their manure, but at amounts that the land can
process; avoiding chemical pesticides and fertilizers; and
administering drugs to the animals only when absolutely
necessary. If these guidelines are respected, respect for
the animals will automatically follow. Many farmers with
small farms are growing crops and raising animals sustainably, but are not certified organic because they cannot
afford the thousands of dollars necessary to meet the legal
labeling requirements.
Another aspect of the term “sustainable” is the freshness of the product when picked or packed. This relates
to the distance it must travel to reach the consumer.
Sometimes, even if an item is not certified organic, the
fact that it’s locally grown—and therefore has not been
shipped cross-country for thousands of miles in a refrigerated truck—gives it more nutritional value.
High Brix
Brix (pronounced “bricks”) may not yet be a part of
mainstream agriculture—or even a part of the public
consciousness—but in my opinion, this unique method
of growing and evaluating crops is quite superior in every
way to all other methods.
The practice was begun by Professor A.F.W. Brix, a
19th century German chemist who measured the percentage of solids in a few drops of freshly squeezed liquid
(juice or sap) from a live fruit, root, stem or leaf. In addition to fructose, sucrose and other sugars, the solids that
are measured include flavonoids, amino acids, minerals,
oils, and other nutrients.
The device used for modern measurement is called
a refractometer. “When the drops fall on the prism,”
explains contemporary farmer Rex Harrill,
COMPLEMENTARY THERAPIES
you close the cover plate to spread it out and then
look through the viewing end of the instrument
where you will see an etched scale generally calibrated in 0–30 degrees or 0–32 degrees Brix. Just
as a pencil appears bent when placed in a beaker
of water, the light passing through the plant juice
droplet is bent so that a clear line is shown against
the scaled background. The amount of bending is
directly related to the richness of the plant juice
(richer juice bends the light more).58
There is a direct and intimate connection between
higher Brix numbers, high life force, concentrated nutritional value, and superior flavor. Not surprisingly, these
qualities indicate a rich mineral content in the soil.
A Brix measurement considered excellent begins at 12 to
14, although measurements as high as 28 Brix have been
recorded. Harrill says:
To me, Brix is a measure of energy. A high-Brix
plant emits a far superior energetic electromagnetic spectrum than a low-Brix specimen. Insects
“see” in this range and they “attack” plants with
the weakest emanations. . . . All that talk about
how healthy plants “resist” insects is really another
way of saying that the strongest plants don’t attract
insects in the first place. . . . A refractometer is
merely a way for us to see by proxy what insects
see with their eyes. [emphasis added] 59
High Brix plants are vibrant in color, have wonderful
flavor (and are naturally sweet), contain abundant nutrients, and are resistant to insects, weeds and disease. They
are also resistant to rotting: Brix experts flatly state that
high Brix plants may dehydrate in storage, but will not
rot. In comparison, low Brix plants are more muted in
color, have bland flavor (or are unpleasantly sour or bitter),
have low levels of nutrients, and are susceptible to insects,
weeds and disease. This includes rotting. (Note that a
plant with slime or mold on its surface is also rotten on
the inside, even if you can’t see the rot; so it’s best not to
eat the fruit or vegetable at all.)
The enhanced mineral content of high Brix plants
makes the fruits and vegetables structurally different as
well. For instance, a healthy orange, lemon or grapefruit
will have a thinner rind. Comparing two bushels of grain
that have identical volume but different weight, the heavier
one has more nutrients and therefore higher Brix readings. Nutrient-dense, high Brix vegetables have a natural
waxy coating on them, not the synthetic paraffin that
some growers add after the produce is picked. Low Brix
fruits, such as peaches or plums, will have a split pit. Low
175
Brix vegetables will be somewhat dry and hollow inside
(which probably indicates a boron deficiency). Potatoes
with sunken eyes are probably deficient in manganese.
To grow high Brix crops, the soil must be healthy. Brix
readings improve when the pH of the soil is balanced. The
ideal pH for almost all crops is 6.4, which requires a proper
mineral ratio. There are many ways to improve the soil: most
often, with high-calcium lime, and other beneficial natural
soil foods including powdered fish, seaweed, and additional
sources of phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium. Friendly soil
bacteria are also needed; the plants rely on bacteria to break
down the rock so the minerals can be utilized.
An estimated 90% to 95% of produce obtained from
ordinary commercial channels is fairly low Brix. Although
growing high Brix crops requires more effort and care,
and perhaps a greater initial financial investment, the
returns are immense. You eat less, because the food is
so nutrient-dense. Better nutrition means that you will
be healthier. And being healthier means saving money
on visits to health professionals. You’ll also need fewer
nutritional supplements, because the foods you eat will
provide the necessary nutrition.
High Brix doesn’t affect just plants and the humans who
eat them. It also affects animals. Studies have shown that
cows eat half of what they normally would consume when
they eat high Brix grass and hay. They also produce more
milk, which is yellow in color (probably due to a higher
beta-carotene content).
If you garden or farm organically, you’re already familiar
with the importance of not using pesticides. Making sure
to nourish the soil for optimal nutrition seems like the
logical next step. You can find more information on Brix,
including a source for refractometers, at www.crossroads.
ws/brixbook/BBook.htm.
The possibilities for healing with high Brix foods are
exciting. Obtaining a high Brix measurement in plants
can be compared to obtaining a clean live blood analysis
in a human. A healthy live blood reading shows perfectly
formed, round red blood cells that are separate and distinct; viable and functioning white blood cells; and no
waste material in the plasma. People who get the nutrients
they need have a better chance of remaining healthy. If
you give a plant the nutrition it needs, it will remain vital.
Sick humans attract microbes. Sick plants attract insects.
Attracting microbes or insects both indicate a similar
deficiency. They are the human and plant equivalents of
being undernourished and ill.
High Brix plants are essentially organic, even if they
lack a legal certification. A plant cannot be high Brix
if it’s loaded with pesticides, herbicides, and synthetic
fertilizers. Ideally, crops should be picked at the peak of
their ripeness, to ensure their freshness. And high Brix

Dangerous Grains
Injurious, Not Essential
There’s an old saying: “Bread is the staff of life.”
People invite each other to “break bread” when they
want to share a meal. The word “bread” suggests
something so basic, it has even become a slang term
for “money.” Is bread as important as popular culture
claims?
Bread is indeed important, but for different reasons than one might think. In the Western world,
bread is synonymous with wheat. Not only is bread
made from wheat; so are cake, pie, pastry and pasta.
But for at least 30% of the world’s population—and,
some evidence suggests, 50% or even higher—wheat
is a poison.
The many varieties of wheat, as well as rye and
barley, contain a family of very sticky proteins
called gluten. Gluten’s stickiness makes it ideal for
bread and other baked products. But this particular
adhesive quality directly causes, or contributes to,
seemingly unlimited health problems ranging from
gastrointestinal ailments to degenerative diseases and
autoimmune disorders. To appreciate gluten’s health
hazards, we need to understand how gluten affects
the gut and the brain, and how the body’s response to
gluten parallels its response to microbes. The following
discussion focuses on gliadin, one type of gluten protein. Gliadin, present in all gluten cereals (and oats,
if they are contaminated by glutenous grains), is the
most studied of all the gluten components.
Damage from Wheat and Some Other Grains
Gut damage. The most widely known negative reaction
to wheat is a condition called celiac disease (sometimes
called celiac sprue), which affects the small intestine.
Normally, the small intestine contains millions of villi,
short projections that stick up everywhere like tiny
slender poles. The villi increase the surface area of
the intestine, thus improving the ability of nutrients
from digested food to enter the bloodstream. But in
gluten-sensitive people, exposure to gluten causes the
villi to malfunction. First the villi become compressed,
with somewhat less surface area available for nutrient
absorption. As their deterioration continues, the villi
become flat, completely destroyed by lesions. Usually,
the intestinal damage occurs in the duodenum, the
first third of the intestine located next to the stomach.
In advanced cases, the jejunum (the next section) is
also involved.
With damaged villi, the body cannot process
food properly. Undigested food in the small intestine encourages an overgrowth of Candida albicans.
Normally, Candida numbers are kept in check by beneficial bacteria in the intestine, which eats the Candida.
But in a gut increasingly toxified by leaks—not to
mention unhealthily fermenting food—the levels of
beneficial bacteria dwindle and Candida proliferates.
Candida infections cause almost unlimited problems,
ranging from brain fog and depression to severe gastrointestinal disorders and weight gain. (Significantly,
gliadin contains amino acid sequences that resemble
those in Candida. And both gluten and Candida stick
to the gut in a similar manner.)
Damage to the gut can still occur in the absence of
outright villi damage (celiac disease). In everyone—
regardless of whether they are gluten-sensitive or
not—the body responds to the presence of gliadin by
releasing a protein called zonulin. Newly published
research shows that the “zonulin signaling” activated
by gliadin intake leads “to increased intestinal permeability to macromolecules.” 64 Zonulin not only opens
the seams between cells, it keeps them open. This
allows excessively large particles from grains and other
foods to slip through the holes in the gut, circulate
through the bloodstream, and enter tissue cells where
they cause further damage. Leaky gut syndrome is the
name commonly given to a punctured gut.
The digestive tract is designed to absorb nutrients
through the cells in the intestinal wall, not through
gaps between the cells. One might expect zonulin
levels to increase during the acute phase of celiac
disease. But so-called “normal” people who don’t
have celiac disease also produce more zonulin; the
cell junctures simply close more quickly. So, even if the
villi don’t flatten, gluten damages the intestinal wall
by creating holes. Irritation of the gut—which, again,
can occur independently of villi destruction—causes
bloating, gas, chronic diarrhea and constipation.
Extremely high levels of irritation lead to inflammation and possibly infection, with diagnoses of Irritable
Bowel Syndrome and full-blown Crohn’s disease.
Immune response malfunction. In gluten-sensitive
people, gliadin especially can stimulate an autoimmune response. Gliadin attaches to the villi in the gut,
and is then attacked by the immune cells. In order to
understand why this occurs, let’s discuss for a moment
how the body deals with microbes.
192 THE RIFE HANDBOOK
In a normal healthy body, the presence of antigens
causes the production of antibodies. Antigens are
molecules of proteins or complex carbohydrates, from
either body parts or microbial waste, that stimulate
antibody production. Antibodies are various proteins,
located in blood and other fluids, that are produced
by different types of white blood cells in response
to foreign substances such as bacteria, fungi and
viruses. The purpose of antibodies is to identify and
neutralize these foreign materials. Antibodies, which
are the body’s frontline immune defense team, fi t
antigens like a key fits a lock. Once this fi t occurs,
the antibodies identify the antigens and tell the rest
of the body what to do with them. When the body
is working properly, different types of immune cells
with different functions will be able to recognize antigens from the same microbe during future invasions
so they can disable the microbe. This system works
very well for infections. The body needs to recognize what is not itself, and then attack and remove
the invader.
Problems arise when the body perceives an antigen
from a food, and treats the food as the invader. “Our
immune systems can’t tell the difference between a
gluten protein and another foreign protein that is
a structural part of bacteria or a virus,” write physician James Braly and Ron Hoggans, the authors of
Dangerous Grains. “So we react the same way against
all foreign proteins, by developing specific antibodies
against these proteins.” 65
Curiously and tragically, gliadin frequently
causes the immune system to react as if it is
not a component of nourishing food, but an
invading bug or microbe or, worse, as though
it is indistinguishable from normal organ tissues found in our bodies. . . . Whenever an
individual’s immune system is mounting an
abnormal reaction to gluten, with or without
symptoms, there is gluten sensitivity. . . . Nonceliac gluten sensitivity, or immune reactions
to gluten, may affect as many as 90 million
Americans. . . . The net result . . . is a large
population that is chronically ill, unresponsive
to conventional therapies, and often desperately jumping from one doctor to another
without relief. To further confound the
issue . . . [such people] suffer a greater risk of
infectious disease.66
Why does the body respond to gluten proteins as
though they are microbes? The body recognizes the
presence of microbes because of their ability to cling
to cell membranes. Microbes have an adhesive quality
similar to that of gluten. Although wheat, the most
commonly eaten grain, presents the most problems,
rye, barley, spelt, kamut and triticale are also problematic. Plus, a faulty immune response can occur to more
than one protein in a grain.
An autoimmune disease is characterized by the
body attacking its own tissues. According to Braley
and Hoggan, many of these autoimmune reactions,
and related diseases, occur in 15% to 42% of those
sensitive to gluten.
One group of researchers . . . reported that
more than 20% of celiac patients had evidence
of autoimmunity, including antithyroid and
antipancreatic antibodies. A large majority of
the celiac patients with these anti-self antibodies were not following a gluten-free diet.
One of the most startling lessons we learned
from our study of gluten sensitivity was that
simply eliminating gluten from one’s diet
can reduce the body’s production of these
antibodies.
Further, given the elevated gliadin antibodies among patients with autoimmune
diseases, in the absence of celiac disease
[which specifically pertains to the intestines],
the evidence suggests that gluten sensitivity
may be the most important factor that predisposes to autoimmune diseases.67
The autoimmune response described above is due to
molecular mimicry. But there are other types of autoimmune responses related to plant toxins called lectins,
which are agglutinins. (The word comes from the Latin
agglutino, meaning “to glue to”; and agglutination is the
clumping of particles.) These plant toxins are in grainlike foods (mostly wheat, but also barley, buckwheat,
corn, millet, oats, quinoa, rice and rye), in legumes,
dairy (especially from grain-fed cows), eggs, and nightshades. Lectins can cause the gut, bloodstream, nervous
system, organs and glands to malfunction. The intestines
develop inflamed villi and harmful bacterial overgrowth;
the bloodstream, clumped red blood cells; the brain,
cognition and motor disorders. Lectins also diminish
leptin sensitivity (which slows metabolism and produces
abnormal fat deposits), and bind to insulin receptors
(which prevents insulin from escorting glucose into the
COMPLEMENTARY THERAPIES
tissues, thus maintaining abnormally high levels of glucose in the bloodstream). Unfortunately, not all lectins
can be inactivated (or inactivated completely) by heating,
soaking, sprouting or fermenting.
Summary. Here is just a small sample of conditions
implicated in the ingestion of gluten:
l
Arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, and
other kinds of chronic joint and muscle pain.
l
Bone defects, including enamel erosion of teeth,
impaired bone growth (and thus short stature), and
osteoporosis.
l
Cancers of all kinds, including of the bladder, brain,
prostate and testicles, as well as Lupus erythematosus, lymphoma and squamous cell.
l
Cardiovascular disorders, including cardiomyopathy
(weakening of, and a change in structure of the
heart muscle), and recurrent pericarditis (inflammation of the pericardium, or lining that surrounds the
heart).
l
Eyestrain and distortions, including “telescoping”
of vision.
l
Hormone disruption, including Addison’s disease
(insufficient adrenal hormones), diabetes, growth
hormone deficiency, and thyroid disorders (hyper
and hypo).
l
Liver disease and allergies.
l
Neurological disorders and mental/emotional conditions, including: anxiety and aggressiveness,
Asperger’s syndrome, autism, Attention Defi cit
Disorder, dementia, depression, Down syndrome,
dyslexia, epilepsy, hyperactivity, learning disorders, migraines, multiple sclerosis, seizures, and
schizophrenia.
l
Obstetrical disorders, such as infertility, miscarriage,
and stillbirths, as well as delayed puberty, menstrual
disorders and abnormal sperm motility.
l
Respiratory conditions, including asthma and
emphysema.
l
Skin conditions, including dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis and warts.
l
Urinary tract problems, including kidney disease and
frequent urination (sometimes at night, suggesting
a possible history of bedwetting).
l
Vitamin and mineral deficiencies, due to malabsorption or incomplete nutrient conversion.

Grain Addiction
One of the most startling discoveries about grains is
their effect on brain function. The blood-brain barrier
is comprised of a group of cells that cluster together
tightly, selectively allowing some substances to enter
the brain while keeping other substances out. But
the blood-brain barrier doesn’t always do its job.
Zonulin keeps the cells of this barrier separated in
much the same way as it keeps the cells separated in
the mucosal lining of the intestine. What happens if
foreign particles penetrate this barrier?
After eating pizza, pastry or a sandwich, one can
feel dopey, brain-fogged, or even drunk (as though
from alcohol). Wheat and some other grains contain
proteins called exorphins that attach themselves to
the opiate receptors in the brain. Thus, these grains
have a narcotic-like effect on the person who consumes them. A single protein structure of gluten
contains at least five distinct opioids. “Although exorphins are less potent [than morphine], . . . there can
be little doubt that such a plentiful supply [of foods
containing grains] has helped shape the Western
diet,” write Braly and Hoggan. “Exorphins may be
the determining feature of what we now call ‘comfort’ foods.” 68 This is why it’s common for people to
develop cravings for bread, cakes, donuts, pastries,
pies, or breakfast cereal. However, what at first might
be a mere “craving” can soon escalate into an addiction to grains, especially wheat.
It’s hard to be aware of the depth and scope of
wheat addiction in American life, since products made
of wheat (and some other grains as well) are so prevalent. Since the gluten-derived exorphins can attach
themselves to any part of the body, they also interfere
with the action of the body’s natural “killer” immune
cells, which are responsible for scavenging dead bodily
cells and incapacitating the microbes that threaten
our health. This is why some people with gluten sensitivity are much more susceptible to infectious diseases,
including cancer.
Wheat Intolerance and Dairy Intolerance
Significantly, research shows that 50% of glutensensitive people are unable to handle dairy products.
True, the research does not distinguish between
commercial and raw dairy; and raw milk is seldom
the subject of contemporary studies anyway. But
chances are, if a product contains wheat, it will also
be eaten with, or contain, commercial (non-raw) milk,
244 THE RIFE HANDBOOK
should avoid taking proteolytic (protein-digesting)
enzymes, which could thin the blood excessively.
Since enzymes are extracted from plants and animal
organs in a rather complex process, they are more difficult
to make than food-based vitamin and mineral supplements, and thus cost more. In Germany and other parts of
Europe, enzymes are the most popular over-the-counter
preparation for relief of pain and inflammation, as they
work well and cause no “side” effects. If you don’t have
access to enzyme-rich sprouts, raw foods, fresh vegetable
juices and especially fermented raw vegetables, consider
taking enzyme supplements.
Summary
People who are ill are nutrient starved. Therefore, it
makes sense to obtain concentrated nutrition from food
supplements. All-vegetable supplements can be extremely
helpful, but you might need glandular or other materials
from animals in order to heal.
There is a world of difference between natural and
synthetic vitamins. Truly natural vitamins are created
from whole foods that remain in their original, complex
matrix. Synthetic vitamins are manufactured primarily
from coal tar and other petroleum products, which makes
them nutritionally incomplete and biologically incompatible with living tissue. Not surprisingly, major drug
companies, recognizing the potential profit in the health
food industry, are now manufacturing vitamin and mineral
supplements—all of them synthetic.
People sometimes voice concern that if they keep
taking supplements, the body will increasingly depend
on them and won’t be able to function without them.
Similarly, Annemarie Colbin writes that if you take more
supplements than you need, this may actually cause harm
because you will become hungry, craving the bulk that
normally accompanies such concentrations of nutrients.
However, these problems are much more likely to exist
with synthetic than food-based supplements, for two reasons. One, the high dosages in synthetic supplements tend
to unbalance the ratio of other nutrients in the system.
Two, the co-factors in food-based supplements—which
provide maximum assimilation and other benefits—are
not present in the synthetic supplements.
If you have a serious or chronic illness, consult with
a knowledgeable professional. Many chiropractors have
special training in nutrition and muscle testing, and can
tell you right there in the office what you need.
Good quality supplements do what the name suggests.
If used correctly, they supplement, or strengthen the body
so it can operate at peak efficiency and vitality. Don’t
try to save money by buying cheap vitamins. The proper
supplements can make a huge difference in the way you
feel and function.
OXYGEN THERAPIES
For decades, scientists have waged a curious debate over
how much oxygen was in Earth’s atmosphere thousands
or millions of years ago, compared to modern times.
Attempts to answer this question have been based on many
types of geological testing, from samples of polar ice cores
to ancient sedimentary rocks.
Some convincing evidence of greater oxygen levels
in the past is discussed in an article, “Gas Bubbles in
Fossil Amber as Possible Indicators of the Major Gas
Composition of Ancient Air.” The authors unearthed data
suggesting that “the major gas composition of air (N2/O2
ratio) has changed appreciably during the past 90 million
years. . . . Original oxygen concentrations . . . appear to
have changed from greater than 30% O2 . . . (between
75 and 95 million years ago) to 21% during the . . .
present-day.” 142 Yale University geologist Robert Berner
agrees with a 35% rate. But other researchers assert that
when the ratio of oxygen to other gases is at 25%, the
humidity should be at least 50%; otherwise, numerous
materials will easily combust. Therefore, they conclude,
it’s impossible for the ratio of oxygen to have ever been
25%. So, what appears to be fairly straightforward data is
sometimes heavily contested, along with the interpretations themselves.
While it might be difficult to pinpoint exactly what
percentage of oxygen used to be on Earth, it cannot be
denied that within the last century, oxygen levels have
decreased to the point where it has become harder to
breathe. Just ask the millions of people worldwide who
suffer from asthma and emphysema. Even those without
an official diagnosis of respiratory disorders know that
our atmosphere is becoming foul; one whiff of city air
is all it takes, especially in industrialized cities with high
pollution levels. We are literally starving for oxygen. It’s
no surprise, then, that Tokyo—with its high air pollution
levels and more people per square mile than any other city
in the world—has opened “oxygen bars,” where people
congregate and inhale oxygen. Oxygen bars now exist in
the United States as well.
Our diminishing oxygen supply has cost us our health.
Dr. Otto Warburg, who won the Nobel Prize for medicine
twice (in 1931 and 1944), showed that a fundamental cause
of all degenerative disease is oxygen starvation at the cellular level. Most viruses, fungi, bacteria and parasites are
anaerobic, or suited to an oxygen-deprived environment.
256 THE RIFE HANDBOOK
Oxygen is vital to our health. It provides the fuel for all
metabolic functions, kills many microbes, strengthens the
functioning of normal tissue, and stimulates the growth of
new healthy tissue. Thus, HBOT can help with:
For people who can self-treat—or secure help to enter,
leave and operate the chamber if necessary—a portable
home cabinet is a wise purchase, especially if they need
HBOT therapy on a regular basis. A one-time purchase
($5,000) is less expensive than repeatedly seeing a doctor.
Some companies rent HBOT units.
Oxygen therapies cannot be patented by drug companies, which is undoubtedly why the public does not hear
more about their uses or effectiveness.

Silver in various forms has been used for healing for centuries. The ancient Greeks and Romans used silver jars
to keep stored liquids fresh. They wore silver frequently,
perceiving that it maintained health. European royal families did not become as infected by the plague because
they used silver utensils and ate off silver plates. And
during the 1800s, American pioneers kept silver dollars
in their milk jugs to prevent the milk from fermenting or
spoiling. Silver coins were also dropped into water barrels
to impede the growth of microorganisms and algae.
One of the first recorded medical uses of silver dates
back to 1834, when a German obstetrician named F. Crede
administered a 1% silver nitrate solution into the eyes of
newborns to prevent blindness caused by eye infections.
This practice continues today in hospitals worldwide.
The Russians, and the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) in the US, revolutionized the
water purification industry by using silver ions to purify
the water in spacecraft. Today, water filters impregnated
with silver are standard equipment in water filters.
The bulk of serious scientific study on silver appears to
have begun in the early 1900s, with research correlating
low plasma silver levels with infections. Silver continued
to be used therapeutically until the late 1930s. In addition
to being used in the eyes, it was orally ingested, spread
inside the nasal passages, applied to wounds, and rubbed
into the skin. Silver proved to be an effective healer of
infections, both externally and internally.
Then from around the 1940s, silver as a healing agent
became hard to find and its merits were no longer publicized. This was primarily because the pharmaceutical
industry began to create and promote synthetic antibiotics. But silver’s fading popularity was also related to the
form in which it was used: it was often combined with
other substances to form compounds, resulting in silver
proteins, silver nitrate and other silver salts. Mild silver
protein (MSP)—silver that is bound to protein-rich gelatin
l
Many types of infections, including HIV, Herpes and
Lyme Disease (for some people; others might do better
with ozone).
Dr. Edgar End, a clinical professor of environmental
medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin, Director
of the Hyperbaric Unit at Milwaukee County General
Hospital, and an acknowledged expert on HBOT, has
stated the value of HBOT for the treatment of stroke:
“I’ve seen partially paralyzed people half carried into the
(HBOT) chamber, and they walk out after the first treatment. If we got to these people quickly, we could prevent
a great deal of damage.” 168
Oxygen levels in the body just slightly higher than the
therapeutic HBOT dose may cause temporary impairment
of the lungs, ears and central nervous system. People are
advised to take time between treatments to recover from
abnormal pressure to not only the eardrum but also the
eyeballs. (Increased oxygen levels mean metabolic changes
in the eyes that may cause blurry vision—after 30 or 40
treatments, a few people have reported permanent nearsightedness.) But HBOT is famous for helping to restore vision
after a stroke. Thus these unwanted “side” effects do not seem
to occur at lower pressures. There are virtually no risks to
HBOT if you are treated correctly with the right equipment.
The two classes of hyperbaric oxygen equipment are
expensive, high-tech units used in hospitals, and chambers
for the layperson. Machines designed for hospitals, which
use more air pressure than home units, are potentially
dangerous (which is why the therapy must be administered
by qualified medical personnel). HBOT chambers for the
home are incapable of administering too much oxygen
because they’re designed for consumer safety.
History of Silver Therapy
COMPLEMENTARY THERAPIES
to keep the large particles suspended in fluid—had such
a low particle surface area, it was almost unusable by the
body. It was also unsafe: the proteins not only provided
food for bacteria, encouraging their growth, but they also
encapsulated the silver particles, preventing them from
touching and thus killing the bacteria. Today, most silver
products ranging from 40 ppm to 20,000 ppm are MSP.
Silver compounds are less effective than pure colloidal
or ionic silver (which are not combined with other elements)—but decades ago, no reliable technology to make
good quality silver fluid existed.
In the United States, colloidal silver is not approved for
medical use. Companies that sell CS or the equipment to
make it are forbidden by the FDA to tell their customers
about colloidal silver’s healing properties. Interestingly,
this has not stopped major pharmaceutical companies
from producing other silver products that are approved
for medical purposes. These products include silver gels,
for cuts, burns and wounds (silver sulfadiazine cream, a
compound, is extensively used); silver coated bandages,
widely and successfully used in hospital burn units; and
various silver compounds, for other purposes. The existence of these products makes it difficult for government
agencies to deny the health benefits of silver any longer.
Disabling Microbes
Silver is a broad-spectrum, safe, effective substitute for
allopathic antibiotics. Research conducted since the 1970s
has shown that silver:
l
Deactivates the enzymes that microbes need for respiration. Since the microorganisms are suffocated
rather than poisoned, resistant strains will not form, as
happens with allopathic antibiotics.
l
Oxidizes the pathogen, in a way similar to that of
hydrogen peroxide or ozone.
l
Binds to bacterial cell walls, which prevents the
microbes from functioning properly and ultimately
causes their death.
l
Replaces substances in the cell wall that microbes
require (such as sulphur).
l
Repairs broken DNA of a virus—thus rendering it
dysfunctional, since a virus by definition can only
function inside a host if its DNA is incomplete.
In 1978, a Science Digest article reported that silver
kills over 650 pathogenic microbes, citing doctors who
developed silver compounds and the FDA’s endorsement
of them. There is ample scientific proof that silver destroys
virtually all bacteria, viruses, and most other single-celled
257
pathogens within minutes. An article from a 2006 issue
of the American Journal of Nursing states:
Silver is a broad-spectrum agent effective against a
large number of Gram-positive and Gram-negative
microorganisms, many aerobes [living in the presence of oxygen] and anaerobes [living in the absence
of oxygen], and several antibiotic-resistant strains
such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
and vancomycin-resistant enterococci.169
Although virtually all bacteria and viruses are killed by
CS, its effect on fungi, mold, amoebas and protozoa varies.
Silver cannot kill multi-celled worms and other, similarly
large parasites, but it can kill the bacteria and viruses living
inside the parasites. And although CS seems to help prevent
viral infection, it can be less effective once an infection has
become established. However, CS does prevent secondary
infections from bacteria and other sources.
Colloidal silver affects single-celled microorganisms
as long as it physically touches them. Therefore, even
though CS cannot disable pathogens in solids such as
bone and feces, it can easily disarm them in liquids such
as water, blood, urine and lymph. If you take CS on an
empty stomach, it will directly contact any Helicobacter
pylori that’s present (H. pylori is responsible for ulcers and
stomach cancer). And CS traveling directly to a relatively
empty gut, with no stool to block its passage, can kill
unwanted microorganisms there that cause food poisoning
and dysentery. (Similarly, in the laboratory, silver cannot
affect microbes in a solid, gel-like nutrient agar, but it will
affect microbes in a nutrient broth.)
Just a few conditions that have been partially or completely eradicated by CS are gastrointestinal disorders
(including diverticulitis and salmonella), hepatitis and
other liver conditions, Lyme Disease, malaria, pancreatitis, respiratory problems such as emphysema, shingles
and other ailments caused by Herpes, and the SARS virus.
Recently, researchers at the University of Texas and
Mexico University began using silver nanoparticles
to kill Staphylococcus aureus. Then, in the Journal of
Nanotechnology, they reported their groundbreaking findings that silver nanoparticles kill HIV-1, and that they
expect silver to kill virtually every other virus as well! The
silver particle size ranged from one to ten nanometers. The
silver particles killed 100% of the HIV-1 virus (incubated at
98.6ºF or 37ºC) within 3 hours. The researchers wrote:
The strong toxicity that silver exhibits in various
chemical forms to a wide range of microorganisms is very well known. . . . Silver nanoparticles
interact with the HIV-1 virus via preferential
binding to the gp120 glycoprotein knobs. Due to
COMPLEMENTARY THERAPIES
exposed their germ colonies to UV light reported the same
good news: UV light kills pathogenic microbes involved
in infectious diseases— perhaps, at least in part, because
it stimulates the production of ozone in the body. Based
on this knowledge, natural sunlight and UV therapy using
special lamps, were utilized for many different conditions.
In 1903, Swiss physician Auguste Rollier established
the first European clinic in the Alps for the non-surgical
treatment of tuberculosis using solar energy. This proved
so successful that England, the US, France, Austria, Israel,
Italy, and other countries established similar clinics. That
same year, Niels Finsen from Denmark won the Nobel
Prize for being the first person to successfully treat skin
tuberculosis with UV therapy. All over the world, doctors
were prescribing sunbathing (often nude) for people with
erysipelas (an infection of the skin with a mortality rate of
10%), tuberculosis of the skin, bone tuberculosis, lupus,
and other diseases.
287
Then in 1935, a researcher left Petri dishes of Staph in
the open air of an operating room during the time that
surgery was being performed. He collected the dishes after
one hour, Kime reports.
Having suspended a bank of ultraviolet lights
from the ceiling of the operating room, he found
that all the bacteria within 8 feet of the lights
could be killed in 10 minutes, even though the
intensity of the lights was reduced to a point
where blonde skin at a distance of 5 feet would
not react with reddening until after 80 minutes
of exposure.205
Knowledge that UV light remains beneficial for quite
a while before its effects become destructive, and that
the rays destroy germs in the air as well as on the skin,
eventually led to widespread use of UV lamps to disinfect
hospitals and clinics. In the former Soviet Union, factory
The Truth about Sunburn, Skin Cancer and Cataracts
In our so-called civilized world, we are taught that exposure to the sun will bring not only sunburn, but also cataracts
and skin cancer. It’s true that people have gotten sunburned and skin cancer from sun exposure, and that even low
exposure to UV-B rays significantly increases the risk of cataracts. But, as researchers are discovering, these conditions occur much more frequently if one is eating fake food. The effects of the sun’s rays can be either harmful or
healing, depending on the types of fats in one’s diet.
Royal Lee, the whole foods supplement manufacturer, discovered a substance mostly in oils that he called
Vitamin F. People who did not consume enough Vitamin F, he said, were much more likely to develop thickening of
the skin, sunstroke, canker sores (from the herpes virus), itchy skin and hives, and skin cancer. Since many people did
get enough sun exposure to produce enough Vitamin D—and they still developed those conditions—there must be
another factor involved. What is usually considered a Vitamin D deficiency, Lee surmised, is actually a deficiency of
Vitamin F—otherwise known as polyunsaturated fatty acids in scientific textbooks.
Vitamin F has specific functions that complement those of Vitamin D. Each balances the effects of the other.
Vitamin D pulls calcium from the gut and the tissues and deposits it into the blood. Vitamin F pulls calcium from
the blood and deposits in into the tissues. If a person has plentiful Vitamin D but no F—which occurs more often
than the other way around—there will be plenty of calcium in the blood but not enough in the bodily tissues. Since
calcium helps the body’s immune response (in addition to helping the formation of bone), insufficient Vitamin F in
the tissues can not only augment health problems, but even cause them. Of course, there must be enough calcium
in the body at all times for the bloodstream, the gut, and the tissues.
It’s easy to become deficient in Vitamin F if one eats the Standard American Diet (SAD) of fake food (junk
food). In the manufacture of synthetic fats (margarine, shortening, and liquid vegetable oil), Vitamin F is
destroyed, and misshapen fats called trans fats appear in the final product. The body cells, which are forced to
work with what they are fed, surround themselves with straight trans fat molecules instead of the horseshoeshaped Vitamin F fat molecules. The malformed, straight trans fat molecules literally create gaps in the cell
membranes through which carcinogenic materials can enter relatively easily, since the cells no longer have adequate
protection.
Fake fat molecules also reflect the presence of highly unstable atoms at the quantum level: free radicals. This
means that lone electrons are knocking other electrons out of place—so that before long, electrons are acting like
billiard balls, destroying the integrity of cells and decreasing their ability to metabolize oxygen. When the body is
low in oxygen, all kinds of disease conditions can develop, including cancer.
This is how the ingestion of the wrong kinds of fats—fake fats—can lead to cancer. Despite what the food industry
would like consumers to believe, the sun is not the culprit. If anything, being in the sun “sheds light” on what we
may need to correct in our lifestyle.

Unless we put medical freedom in the Constitution, the time will come when
medicine will organize itself into an undercover dictatorship to restrict the art
of healing to one class of [people] and deny equal privileges to others.

ALL ABOUT FREQUENCY DEVICES AND RIFE SESSIONS
Q. I’ve seen diagrams in books and on the
Internet on how to build a rife-style
device. How hard could it be to build
my own machine? ..........................364
Q. These devices cost so much! The electrode
units seem like ordinary frequency
generators to me, with common metal
cylinders used as electrodes. And some
of these light tube units don’t seem very
sophisticated. Why do the manufacturers
charge so much? Don’t they care about
people’s health—and people’s lives? ....364

ALL ABOUT FREQUENCY DEVICES AND RIFE SESSIONS
biological tissue—they are like miniature antennas, and
thus resonate.
The type of unit you use can determine whether or
not you experience negative reactions. Internal metal
may attract too much current from electrodes, whereas
an implant will not attract current from a plasma tube. If
the area feels warm, this may indicate internal burning.
In such cases, Holman explains, “it’s best for the user to
either use different frequencies entirely, or reduce the
session time to shorter periods, possibly separating one
longer session into several shorter sessions.” 2
There are usually several frequencies for the same
malady or microbe; so even though one frequency interferes with your implant, there may be another that does
not. On very rare occasions, rifing may have to be discontinued indefinitely.

that help people deal with EM sensitivity, so consult an
experienced homeopath.)
If You Cannot Adequately Eliminate the Toxic
Waste Materials Released by the Rife Sessions
The importance of drinking water while rifing cannot be
overemphasized. Water prevents your system from being
overloaded by microbial die-off.
This technology may be less effective, and in some
cases may actively harm you, if your kidneys, liver, colon,
lymph system or immune functions are substantially
impaired. If you don’t know whether you can handle the
effects of rifing, consult with a health care provider who
is knowledgeable about cleansing. You may have to build
up one or more avenues of detoxification before giving
yourself sessions.
Stents
A stent is a tube-like structure inserted into blood vessels
or ducts to dilate them. Although stents are generally
composed of wire mesh, rifers report having no problems. However, be alert to possible symptoms similar
to those from other types of metal implants. Stop rifing
immediately and notify your doctor if you experience any
discomfort in the area of the stent.
Breast Implants
No problems with any type of unit have been reported
for people with silicone implants. However, as silicone is
quite dense, it will be harder for the frequencies to penetrate the area, so you may need to spend extra time rifing
near areas containing silicone implants. Newer style breast
implants that contain saline are covered with silicone, so
more time with the frequencies may also be necessary
with these types.
If You Are Especially Sensitive to High Levels
of Concentrated Electromagnetic Radiation
Some individuals have strong negative reactions to various
types of emissions on the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. These EM fields may be generated by hair dryers or
vacuum cleaners, or even sonic alarms beyond the range
of human hearing, such as those installed in banks. (See
Sidebar, “Electromagnetic Radiation and Your Health.”)
The emissions from radiant light devices are usually
experienced as positive, and negative responses are not too
common. Sometimes, rife sessions may rectify whatever
is causing or contributing to your sensitivity. However,
everyone is different. If you know that you have a history
of extreme sensitivity, ask detailed questions of device
manufacturers to find a unit (if any) that suits your needs.
(By the way, modern homeopathic remedies are available
If You Want to Give Sessions to
an Infant or Small Child
To my knowledge, reliable statistics on the effects of rife
technology on infants or older children do not exist in the
US. There are good reasons for this lack of data. In the
last decade, parents pursuing holistic treatments for their
offspring—often at the child’s request—have been forced
by government authorities to vaccinate the child; medicate
the child with Ritalin® or Prozac®; or forcibly subject
the child to chemo, radiation, surgery or other allopathic
treatments under threats that the sick child would be
removed from the home if they did not comply. It’s not
surprising that many parents who give their children rife
sessions don’t tell their doctors.
Therefore, except for parents’ anecdotal reports of success with rifing their children, we must make an educated
guess as to how rifing will affect a particular child, based
on what we know about rifing and children’s response to
illness. German naturopath Harald Sievert writes: “In my
opinion, children are far more resilient than we adults
believe. This is clearly demonstrated in our therapeutic
measures where children eliminate better, react quicker
and produce positive results more rapidly with holistic
treatment.” 3 This suggests that a child will be strong
enough to handle the microbial die-off from a session.
Rifing infants should be done on a case-by-case basis, as
infants are fragile. The brain and nervous system, digestive
tract, reproductive organs, endocrine system, and immune
function are immature and still developing.
Nonetheless, should your children ever be ill enough to
warrant a doctor’s prescription for antibiotics, this may be
the time to rife them instead. Unlike drugs, rifing does
not contain chemicals that poison the body. Many parents
326 THE RIFE HANDBOOK
have reported success with infants even as young as a few
months old.
If my infant or small child had a dangerous disease for
which a doctor wanted to administer toxic drugs, I would
first try rifing without hesitation. However, it may be
unwise to use the technology for routine and relatively
mild childhood illnesses (such as the German measles)
unless the child is excessively uncomfortable or ill. These
illnesses stimulate the child’s system to produce antibodies
(proteins that catalyze the body to defend itself against
foreign microbes). Once the antibodies are produced,
the system’s immunity to those particular microbes is
established, and the body can better protect itself against
these and other diseases in the future. Like a muscle
that becomes stronger when given a moderate workout,
when the immune function is “exercised,” it matures and
strengthens. However, if not given the chance to recognize
foreign microbes and deal with them on its own terms,
the body as a whole becomes weaker and less efficient
(see Chapter 1). Many natural practitioners believe that
the milder childhood illnesses can help the body through
tougher times later.
As might be expected, Dr. Sievert points out, children
and adolescents tend to have different health issues than
do adults. These include:
latent susceptibility to infection, lacking in
vitality, tired, poor concentration, [and] allergic
stress. [Children also] suffer from digestive disorders, lack of appetite and frequently exhibit
deficiencies. . . .
We generally find a combination of food allergies and latent intolerances, infestation with
intestinal fungi, often already at the chronic
stage, with attendant dysbiosis together with postvaccinal complications and inherited toxic stress,
energetic blocks, etc.4
Sievert also reports that children and adolescents
“increasingly display a tendency to relapse. This leads to
chronic processes which may manifest themselves in longterm disturbed development. You only have to think of the
alarming rise in ADD and ADHD.” 5 This information can
be helpful in deciding which programs to use when giving
your children rife sessions.
If you have any questions about the advisability of rife
sessions for your child, consult with a health care provider
who is supportive of holistic methods.
For a child, I believe that it’s better to use plasma light
than electrode devices. The different types of machines
are discussed in detail later in this chapter. If you are using
Electromagnetic Radiation and Your Health
One of the least publicized contributors to ill health is human-made electromagnetic (EM) radiation, be it from electrical
current (which can create a magnetic field) or a magnetic field (which can create a flow of electricity). Research begun
in the 1950s by Robert O. Becker, an orthopedic surgeon at the VA (Veterans Administration) Hospital in Syracuse, New
York and teacher at the Upstate Medical Center, showed that the application of infinitesimal amounts of electrical
current could stimulate salamanders to regrow parts of their bodies that had been severed. This led Becker to use
electrical current (again, minute amounts) to stimulate bone fractures to heal in record time. However, Becker recognized the dangers of these applications as well. He correctly surmised that if electromagnetic currents could be used
to heal, they could also be used to harm. And that is precisely what scientists and researchers have been discovering
about EM fields.
Before 1900, the primary electromagnetic field in the environment was the magnetic field of the Earth itself, to
which humans, animals and plants had hundreds of thousands of years to adapt. But EM fields from various appliances
are high voltage, and not compatible with living systems. The list of harmful EM field emitters is almost endless. Just
a sample is car engines, refrigerators, toasters, hair dryers, vacuum cleaners, televisions (especially those with large
screen cathode ray tubes, or CRTs), computers (especially large CRT computer monitors), fluorescent lights, electric space
heaters, ceiling fans, toaster ovens, electric blankets and waterbed heaters. (The last two are particularly dangerous
because most people are exposed for long periods of time.)
Many reliable studies have shown that people who constantly work around machinery or fluorescent lights—or who
live too close to high-voltage power lines, microwave towers or radio transmission towers—suffer from abnormal or
altered hormonal secretions, increased susceptibility to infectious diseases, nervous system disorders (including emotional and mental problems), statistically higher incidences of leukemia and other cancers, genetic abnormalities, birth
defects, and more. The list is endless. Every chemical and hormonal reaction in the body has an electrical and magnetic
component, just as electrical and magnetic fields can induce chemical and hormonal reactions. If you remember that
all living organisms operate like tiny batteries, the effects of incompatible EM fields is not hard to understand.
ALL ABOUT FREQUENCY DEVICES AND RIFE SESSIONS
329
Signal Penetration: Wave Shapes, Harmonics, and Duty Cycles
Besides having the correct frequency, what allows a signal to penetrate the cells of the body, kill microbes, and stimulate the system’s healing abilities?
Wave Shapes. The shape of the wave determines whether it will penetrate the tissue. Below is a diagram of four waveforms often used in frequency devices. The most common waves are sine and square, although there are variations of
these waves. Each shape has unique characteristics. (For more information about the electromagnetic spectrum, See
Appendix C, “Healing with Electromedicine and Sound Therapies.”)
Waveforms
(A) Sine; (B) Triangle; (C) Sawtooth; (D) Square
These shapes are not simply visual metaphors. They are the actual wave patterns as seen on an oscilloscope (a
machine specially constructed to visually depict wave forms). The shape is a literal indication of what the wave does
and how it performs, because each shape graphically represents the rise and fall times of the energy.
A. A sine wave gently slopes; there is nothing angular about it.
B. A triangle wave is pointy at the top, as though the energy were thrust or transmitted suddenly, like a knife.
C. The same holds true for a sawtooth wave.
D. A square wave is very different from the other waves. It takes a very brief period for the energy to reach its
maximum power level (this is called a rapid “rise time”). However, once the power is at its highest level (the
horizontal line at the top), that level is maintained for a specific duration of the cycle. (One cycle is one complete
wave.) The cycle is complete after the power level abruptly drops to zero and the next wave pattern begins.
Here’s an analogy describing how these various wave signals perform, and how the body physically responds to
them. If you put your hand on someone’s back and exert a steady pressure, she will shift her weight and learn to compensate for your push. The relatively slow rise and fall times of a sine wave gives the body a chance to recognize, make
adjustments for, and eventually ignore the signal. If, however, you suddenly push that person with the same amount
of pressure, she will fall. The sudden thrusting quality of triangle and sawtooth waves takes the body by surprise.
Similarly, the rapid rise and fall time of a square wave does not give the body a chance to compensate. However, the
flat top line of a square wave means that after the body is taken by surprise, there is a relatively long period when the
signal is steady. The body (and microbes) may or may not reject the signal.
The shape of the wave is important not only because of the rise and fall times of the energy. The wave shape is also
important because of the harmonics it produces.
Harmonics. A harmonic is an additional wave pattern produced by the fundamental (main) frequency. Since harmonics
are secondary wave patterns, they are not as strong as the fundamental frequency that produces them.
Harmonics are created from the fundamental frequency similar to the way ripples are produced when you drop a
pebble into a pond. You see a marked indentation in the water directly where you dropped the pebble. As the water
ripples out in circles, the lines produced by the original toss get fainter and fainter. The same holds true for harmonics
produced by a frequency device.
The power available in harmonics decreases as the multiplication factor increases, much as the ripples closest to
the pebble are the strongest, and fainter on the periphery. If, during rifing, you use a wave rich in harmonics, you are
not strictly employing a single frequency—but rather, clusters of frequencies that are mathematically related to the
original fundamental frequency, as well as the fundamental frequency itself. The size and nature of harmonics are
determined by their mathematical relationship to the fundamental frequency. This is addressed more in Chapter 2,
relevant to the discussion of why Rife’s best units worked as well as they did.
Keep in mind that there is a finite amount of energy overall available with any given signal. Harmonics utilize energy.
Each harmonic drops off in amplitude (power) as you progressively travel away from the main signal. So, when you
allocate that energy both for the fundamental frequency and for its harmonics, you are dissipating the signal.
374 THE RIFE HANDBOOK
if they are time-consuming and costly. However, there
are many facets to health. Usually several protocols are
needed, as they all provide complementary support.
Understanding the functions of the different health
protocols will help you decide which modalities you
need and which ones you don’t need at a given time.
Q. My partner is ill, and uses a radiant machine
daily. I am concerned about the effects of the
frequencies when my children and I are in the
room. Will we be negatively affected?
A. Many of the frequencies programmed into a frequency
device correspond to the Mortal Oscillatory Rate
(MOR) of microbes. Some frequencies appear to
enhance cellular function. And still other frequencies
seem to both affect pathogens negatively and affect
body tissues positively.
First I will address the MORs of microbes. If you
are harboring a pathogenic microorganism whose
MOR is being transmitted by the machine while you
are in the room, that microbe will become destabilized. So even if you do not consider yourself ill, a
reaction after exposure to one or more frequencies
may indicate that there were microbes in your system
that were disabled or killed. Most people know when
microbes have been devitalized in their body because
they experience thirst, nausea, fatigue, weakness, or
any of the other indications that a detoxification process is occurring. If you are not harboring any microbes
that correspond to the MOR being emitted, then being
near the device will simply have no effect. You can be
reasonably certain of the absence of pathogens in your
body because you will not experience detox reactions,
and you’ll feel fine not drinking extra water.
Frequencies that normalize or stimulate body tissue
may have an effect as well as the frequencies that are
the MORs of microbes, although the effects will be
different. You may experience increased energy or
an augmented feeling of well-being. Keep in mind,
however, that there is a difference between frequencies that normalize or regulate, and those that stimulate.
Normalizing or regulating an organ or gland calms it
if it’s over-exerting, and gives it more energy if it’s
lethargic. Stimulating an organ or gland increases its
output of activity. Whereas depleted body parts may
benefit from carefully applied stimulation, organs or
glands that are already overworking should not be
forced into more activity. The few frequencies that
appear to be stimulating to various organs or glands (as
opposed to simply normalizing) may have an unwanted
effect on you if you do not want that particular body
part to be stimulated. That said, although the effects
of frequencies are still not completely understood, this
technology seems quite safe. I have not heard reports
from people who, for instance, felt that their adrenal
glands were excessively boosted.
If you are using radiant rife equipment and there are
other people or animals in the room whom you suspect
should not be rifed, keep them out of the room. The
checklist of candidates for rifing is at the very beginning of this chapter. If you believe that others could
benefit from the frequencies, even as “incidental recipients,” treat them as you would any other rifer. Make
sure they drink enough water to handle the effects of
microbial die-off, should they experience this. Monitor
their responses in case they have detox reactions. And
ask them if they feel better from the rifing.
Q. I had a bad cold, and was giving myself a session with a light tube device in the den. My
daughter, who had a bad cold, too, and was in
a room that shares an adjoining wall, insisted
that she felt something when the unit was on.
The next day, not only was my cold better,
her cold was completely gone. Could the light
really penetrate through a wall?
A. Some radiant units are powerful enough to send their
signals through walls. Even though the gases in the
tube light up to produce the frequencies, it is the
resulting electromagnetic (EM) field—what some rifers
call the “field effect”—that conveys the healing, not
the luminescence from the light.
We live in a sea of many types of radiation fields.
The human body is both a transmitter and receiver
of these fields. Years ago, during experiments with
a plasma unit equipped with two hand-held glass
cylinders, several people reported feeling its energy
radiating about 8 feet across the room as soon as I
activated the tubes by picking them up. On other occasions, a very sensitive woman could tell as soon as she
entered the room that a (different) frequency device
had recently been turned on. Sometimes, people are
aware of receiving signals from frequency devices
through walls, as “after-images” from lingering radiation, or even over longer distances.
Q. Does it matter which direction the light tube
is facing?
A. Occasionally, people are affected by the radiant tube’s
energy field regardless of the direction in which
the tube is facing. However, you will probably get a
388 THE RIFE HANDBOOK
It should be noted that the above program began
being promoted by one device manufacturer after the
staff noticed that customers did well on this program
with their machine. If you have a different device, this
protocol may or may not work as well for you. If you
aren’t moving quickly enough, use your machine every
day or obtain custom frequencies. Everyone is different; pay attention to what works for you.
l
Second Alternate Protocol: Regular Sessions Every Day
for 1 Week, with 1-Week Rest Intervals. Occasionally
people will gravitate toward a different rhythm of
session time and rest time.
One session 2 to 3 hours a day for one week,
every other week for several months.
Two 1½-hour sessions a day for one week, every
other week for several months.
One man helped his partner overcome cancer in just
2 months with one 2- to 3-hour session once a day for
one week, with one week off. (The doctor had given
her just three months to live.) However, this scenario
is not common. Most people require longer periods
with the unit every day, and without such long intermissions. Keep in mind that long intermissions may
allow the microbes to mutate.

ALL ABOUT FREQUENCY DEVICES AND RIFE SESSIONS
consumed about 20 grams of salt a day. Meats used
to be preserved with lots of salt. And farming and
hard outdoor labor made people sweat profusely,
so the sodium was always replaced by eating lots
of salt. Since both salt and Vitamin C are watersoluble, drinking enough water will ensure that
whatever is not being used is excreted.
The second guideline is tricker to follow. Many
people are low in potassium. Excess sodium and
not enough potassium can cause muscle pain
and atrophy, and even cardiac failure. Medical
supervision is strongly suggested to ensure that
potassium, and also Coenzyme Q10, levels are
sufficient.
How long should this protocol be followed?
Spirochetes lie dormant in the body. So, even if you
improve, continue for at least 6 months after your
health seems normal.
Rife sessions with additional holistic protocols
hold great promise for those suffering from Lyme.
“Complementary therapies,” says Rosner, “accelerate
progress and dramatically reduce symptoms, but they
should never be used as a replacement for rife therapy,
the foundation that allows for continual progress.” 43
Q. Is there a particular type of frequency device
that’s best for Lyme?
A. People with Lyme use the GB-4000 (along with its
RF amplifier), units from Pulsed Technologies, the
PERL from Resonant Light Technology, EMEM5
devices, and the coil machine (also known as the
“Doug device”). And some rifers use other devices
too, such as the high power magnetic pulser. It’s not a
rife technology device, but emits an intense magnetic
field that disables microbes. Each person responds
differently to different equipment; no one unit will
work well for everyone.
Only experimentation will help you discover which
device works best for you. Some of the most successful cures occurred when the subjects drank one
or more quarts of homemade colloidal silver a day, in
addition to rifing.
Q. Is there a special protocol for Candida?
A. Preliminary data on nutritional supplements from physician Lee Cowden—in conjunction with frequency
research under the auspices of Jimmie Holman and
Paul Dorneanu—holds great promise for the elimination of Candida infections. But before discussing the
supplements, I want to briefly explain why Candida

Does Rifing Work?
I believe there is a valid argument that Rife machines
are as safe and effective as any other “proven” treatment for Lyme Disease. Rife machines have had the
chance to show negative side effects over their 15+
year period of use, and have failed to show negative
side effects. Rife machines are clearly useful because
they help people get over longstanding Lyme Disease
infections. If the help people get from Rife machines
is the “placebo effect,” why didn’t the placebo effect
show up to save the day when the sick Lyme Disease
sufferer was trying hundreds of other therapies in
desperation, without gaining benefit from them?
A risk/reward ratio evaluation often leads most
people with chronic Lyme Disease to the conclusion
that Rife machine use is justified.
—Bryan Rosner, Lyme Disease and Rife Machines, 2004
can be so difficult to treat, and the reason why certain
supplements may be needed.
In its most harmless state, Candida exists as a onecelled yeast form (which reproduces through cell
division). In a balanced body, Candida albicans lives in
the intestinal tract, vagina and mouth without harming
us. But when we become unbalanced—either through
poor diet, illness, numerous medications (such as
antibiotics, birth control pills and cortisone, which
itself produces excess stress-inducing cortisol in the
body), or physical and emotional tension (also cortisolproducing)—the trouble starts.
Normally, in the digestive tract, the beneficial bacteria (“friendly flora”) residents—which help us break
down our food and assimilate nutrients—exist at high
enough levels to prevent Candida from proliferating
and changing form. In fact, some of the friendly bacterial species, such as Lactobacillus acidophilus and
Lactobacillus bifidus, actually dine on Candida. But
when the flora die, or become too few in number,
Candida flourishes. It also changes from its innocuous yeast form into a dangerous mycelial, or fungal
form. The organism develops spores. It also grows
rhizoids, which are very long, stiff, root-like stalks.
These stalks attach onto their food source—you!—
and then burrow deep into the body. If the fungus is
in the intestines, it punctures the intestinal wall and
then gets carried to other areas in the body through the
bloodstream. Similarly, Candida punctures the mucous
membrane lining of the mouth, a condition known as
thrush. In the vagina, unchecked Candida causes the
itching, burning, and cheesy discharge simply referred
to as a “Candida infection,” Candidiasis, or simply
7
Some patients, though conscious that their condition is perilous, recover their
health simply through their contentment with the goodness of the physician.

Amounts
l If you are taking the above Essiac-like formula to treat an illness or to eliminate toxins, take 2 ounces (¼ cup) three
to four times a day. Make sure to drink plenty of extra water to flush out toxins from your system. Do not eat or
drink anything except water one hour before to one hour after taking the formula.
l If you are taking a maintenance dose of this formula, 2 ounces (¼ cup) once or twice a day, diluted with about ½
cup hot water, is a common amount. Make sure to drink plenty of extra water to flush out toxins from your system.
Do not eat or drink anything except water one hour before to one hour after taking the formula.
Miscellaneous Notes
Do not alter this formula, either with the addition or subtraction of herbs. The healing properties of this formula
depend on the synergistic combination of its ingredients. There is some debate as to whether this formula will work
if it’s made into a tincture (herbs in alcohol). We do know that when prepared as a decoction, as above, all of the
nutrients and volatile oils are extracted from the herbs. It’s generally agreed that this formula will not work when
taken in capsules.
Some people are concerned about high levels of oxalic acid from the sheep sorrel. Although some ready-made
preparations contain disclaimers, doctors experienced with the formula report no ill effects whatsoever from Essiac©.
This formula has a reputation of complete safety along with effectiveness.
CANCER
Cancer is a complex condition, carried by the blood. Its early
stages manifest as unexplained persistent bleeding, injuries
that do not heal, and sudden changes in moles and other
growths. Symptoms of full-blown cancer are larger masses
of abnormal cells whose genetic programming has deviated
from their holistic blueprint.
A tumor is the body’s way of trying to encapsulate the
deranged tissue so it does not spread. Tumors are storage
containers for systemic waste. The waste can range from
abnormal proteins resulting from inefficient metabolism,
to environmental toxins like pesticides or heavy metals.
Rife researcher Gary Wade, PhD, believes that cells
become cancerous after a microbe releases various chemical
compounds into a cell, which disrupt cell membrane ion gates
(pumps). This causes a gene sequence—normally open only
during early embryonic development—to open up again,
thereby stimulating the cell to become cancerous.
Some people have a biopsy, a procedure where a tissue
sample from the suspected site is removed so their doctor can
examine it for abnormalities and thus confirm or refute the
cancer diagnosis. But, if you do have cancer, the biopsy itself
may cause the cancer to spread because once the protective
tissue surrounding the diseased cells is broken, cancerous
cells can leak into the bloodstream. Also, when the cancer
virus is attacked, it sends out “daughter” shoots elsewhere to
propagate itself. If the cancer spreads at a distance, it’s called
“metastasizing.” If the spread is local, it’s called “invasion.”
Biochemist and Nobel Prize winner Otto Warburg
emphasized that cancer cells are different from normal cells
in significant ways. The cellular membrane potential of
cancer cells is much lower than that of normal cells. This
is why electromedicine therapies that increase cell voltage
are so successful. Also, cancer cell respiration is anaerobic
(without oxygen) instead of aerobic (with oxygen). Unlike
normal cells, cancer cells lack the enzyme catalase, and
thus cannot protect themselves from being oxidized by
large amounts of ozone and hydrogen peroxide. This is why
ozone therapy is favored in countries that understand its
benefits (see Oxygen Therapies in Chapter 3). Saturating
cancerous tissue with ozone neutralizes toxic materials,
creates a climate unfavorable to abnormal cells, and
strengthens healthy cells and immune function. Warburg
also emphasized that cancer cells metabolize about eight
times faster, but much less efficiently, than normal cells
(which is why people with cancer become so tired). Since
cancer cells cannot metabolize in the presence of oxygen,
the cells must ferment glucose. This is why a no-sugar diet is
essential. This may also explain why people with high blood
sugar levels, and/or a resistance to the effects of insulin,
have been thought to sometimes suffer a higher risk of cancer
than people with normal blood sugar levels and normal
responses to insulin.
The intense need of cancer cells for sugar accounts for
the success of a therapy in which coated drugs, specifically
targeted to kill cancer cells, release their poisonous content
only in the presence of sugar. Another therapy utilizes
Vitamin B17 (also known as amygdalin), which is present in
bitter almonds and apricot and peach kernels, and synthesized
as the drug Laetrile®. In high enough amounts, amygdalin
works selectively on cancer cells. The sugar in the apricot
pits, which surrounds the phytochemical nitriloside, is eaten
by the cancer cells, at which point the nitriloside is released.
The cancer cell then discharges the enzyme beta-glucosidase,
which combines with the nitriloside to create the poisons
hydrogen cyanide and benzaldehyde—but only locally, at the
cancer site. This procedure kills the cancerous tissue, while
leaving normal tissue unharmed.

recur unless poisonous nickel alloy dental appliances are
replaced with stainless steel, and silver amalgam fillings
are replaced with uranium-free porcelain. So-called silver
fillings are actually comprised of over 50% mercury—the
most toxic metal known—along with some copper, tin,
silver and zinc. As Hal Huggins extensively documents,
mercury interferes with the oxygen-carrying capability of
red blood cells; causes allergies and autoimmune diseases;
upsets protein metabolism and the balance of gut flora;
and decreases the production of immune cells. It takes
only minute amounts of mercury to weaken immunity and
destroy nerve tissue (brain cells die within ten minutes).
Mercury also causes depression, nervousness, insomnia,
impaired kidney function, tremor, convulsions, infertility
and birth defects. The biochemical destruction in the
brain from mercury is identical to that of Alzheimer’s.
The American Dental Association explicitly warns dentists
against touching the mercury and encourages them to wear
masks to avoid breathing in its fumes, yet the mercury goes
into people’s mouths. If you get your silver-mercury fillings
removed and replaced with less toxic porcelain or other
material, see a holistic dentist. Proper removal of mercury
includes the use of rubber sheeting to prevent metallic vapors
from being reabsorbed into the porous mucous membranes
of the mouth; breathing oxygen during the procedure; and
sometimes chelation during and after to ensure that any stray
bits of mercury are escorted out of the body.
Frequencies can help, but eliminating mercury is critical.
Sauna therapy eliminates toxins; see Chapter 3 for more
details. Substances that chelate (bind to) metals and escort
them out of the system are essential. When mercury destroys
the delicate nerve cells and strips the protective fatty myelin
sheath from the nerve stem, messages cannot be conveyed
throughout the body—which also fails to recognize that
mercury is present. Drinking several cups a day of tea made
from dried oat tops (not stems, one tablespoon per cup,
left seeping overnight) may help restore the nerve cells. So
before chelating mercury, build up the nervous system with
the tea first.
Many suppressed studies show that fluoride does not
prevent cavities—that in fact, it hinders brain development and
actually can cause erosion of tooth enamel. The lauded sodium
fluoride that one finds in most toothpastes is a waste product
of the aluminum and fertilizer industries, and was once used
as a rat poison. It is also known to suppress some higher brain
functions and can make people apathetic.
One inexpensive and surprisingly effective way to restore
the teeth and gums is called oil pulling or oil swishing.
Oil pulling, mentioned in old Ayurvedic texts, has been
publicized by a contemporary Ukrainian medical doctor,
F. Karach, for its ability to cure many systemic diseases
including allergies, digestive disturbances, headaches,
respiratory disorders, blood sugar problems, skin conditions
and even cancer. One tablespoon of sesame oil is swished in
the mouth, one to three times a day, for 15 to 20 minutes,
FREQUENCY DIRECTORY
469
until it mixes well with saliva. (Some people report good
results with sunflower, virgin coconut, or ozonated olive
oils.) Oil pulling must be done on an empty stomach, at least
one hour away from eating or drinking. After the oil mixes
well with saliva for a long enough period, it becomes thin and
white. The oil must not be swallowed because it becomes
very toxic from the pathogenic microorganisms it attracts.
The swirling is said to activate enzymes in the mouth, which
draw toxins out of the blood. Dr. Karach is reported to have
stated that this procedure can take from two days to one
year to completely cure a condition. My personal experience
with this procedure was remarkable. After three days of
swishing, several severely pitted teeth appeared about 95%
re-mineralized. Receding gums became tighter and dropped
into a more normal position. And pain was almost totally
eliminated.
Despite my warnings (for obvious reasons) not to use
electrodes on the face, I must report that some users
(including myself) have used electrode patches for gum
and tooth infections. Holding saltwater—which is highly
conductive—in the (closed) mouth for the entire session
ensures that the current penetrates the tissues. With this
delivery system, it’s the electrical current, rather than
specific frequencies, that disables pathogens. European
practitioners suggest using any frequency below 1000 Hz.
Six consecutive days of 1-hour sessions is sufficient for many
dental problems, but rife for more days if necessary.

Mouth and Gums
When the gums move away from the teeth to form
pockets—even if the separation is slight—it’s easy for
food particles to become trapped inside. However, gums
that recede can grow again, given the proper nutrients
and mouth terrain.
A mouthwash of 3% food grade hydrogen peroxide (see
the Oxygen Therapies section in Chapter 3) can help
raise the oxidation potential of the tissues, which will
eliminate infection and prevent it in the future. A mixture
of equal parts colloidal silver and hydrogen peroxide will
work even better. One popular mouthwash is comprised
of water, aloe vera, echinacea, goldenseal, calendula,
bloodroot, grapefruit seed extract, and essential oil of
cinnamon. Foods high in fiber are said to increase the flow
of saliva. Xylitol, a sweet-tasting powder extracted from
birch tree bark and other substances, is also being used for
mouthwash because its molecules are very slippery and
prevent bacteria from adhering to teeth or gums.

directly to the brain—people who eat when anxious may be
trying to reproduce the effects of the drugs. It is not yet
known whether the gut synthesizes benzodiazepine from
compounds in foods, from bacterial action on the food, or
both. Incidentally, researchers believe that serotonin in the
gut catalyzes peristalsis. This is why Prozac® and other drugs
that divert serotonin from the intestinal tract to the brain,
cause digestive disturbances.
There are about ten thousand different kinds of beneficial
intestinal bacteria (friendly flora) that live in a symbiotic
relationship with their hosts. These microorganisms
produce enzymes, vitamins, and beneficial acids that aid
in digestion. The delicate balance of the digestive tract can
be unfavorably altered by toxins that include antibiotics,
chlorine, fluoride, food additives, preservatives, caffeine,
and too many hard-to-digest foods. Many conditions in the
digestive tract are either caused by—or contribute to—the
overgrowth of some form of yeast and a deficiency of
beneficial intestinal flora. Yeasts thrive on sugar, coffee and
refined carbohydrates, displacing the beneficial intestinal
flora that help us digest our food. Moreover, the refined
carbohydrates either stick to the sides of the intestines like
glue, or induce a bodily response to create mucous, which
adheres to the intestinal wall. This impedes the smooth
rhythmical movement of the musculature (called peristalsis)
along the entire intestinal tract.
A major contributor to poor digestion is stress—after
all, the gut is the second brain. Stress can cause the stomach
to shift its position. Even a small shift can decrease its
production of digestive enzymes (including hydrochloric acid,
necessary to digest protein). In a vicious cycle, poor digestion
further creates a favorable terrain for pathogenic microbes.
And poor digestion means poor elimination, causing gas and
in some cases inflammation and severe infections that lead
to irritation of the colon and other disorders. When you are
deprived of proper nourishment, the world can indeed seem
like a place where your needs are never met and nourishment
is lacking on many levels.
See a health care practitioner who can help you plan an
individualized restorative diet that you can live with. Never
eat when you are upset; eat only when you feel serene. Learn
a relaxation technique, such as yoga, meditation, or gentle
stretching. Take digestive enzymes with each meal. Just a
few enzymes are amylase, to break down starch, protease
for proteins, and lipase for fats. Hydrochloric acid also
helps digest proteins. And probiotics will help replenish the
intestinal flora. Also see Eating Disorders.

In chronic disease, the sympathetic (fight-or-flight)
nervous system runs all the time and the parasympathetic (eat and sleep) system is effectively shut
down. Since the parasympathetic system controls
the gut, we stop making enzymes so that even with
a great diet, we do not digest our foods. The function of the large intestine is to extract water from
the digestive sludge. Since the blood supply of the
gut has been diverted to the muscles so you can run
or fight more effectively, the ability of the large
intestine to extract water is reduced. The lining of
the gut becomes covered with greasy sludge like
an oil filter. This causes the gut lining to become
inflamed, allowing large molecular-weight proteins
to be reabsorbed into the blood. These cause allergies and attempts are made to excrete them though
the sinuses. This situation is known as leaky gut
syndrome. Under these conditions, the body invites
intestinal parasites and certain yeast (Candida) to
help because each of them likes to “eat” the tarry
sludge that lines the gut.
Returning to health with chronic disease occurs
when we reduce the activity of the sympathetic
nervous system to normal, which in turn allows
the parasympathetic to return to normal. Once this
occurs, the microbes will leave what is now a hostile
environment.
It is a mistake for rifers to simply think that curing
disease means killing everything in sight. Sure you can
kill worms and Candida, but they will come back until
you get the gut working again.

Hypothyroidism was first reported in London in
1875. According to many reliable sources, including
doctors Broda Barnes, David Derry, Jacques
Hertoghe and James Howenstine, at least onethird to one-half of the US population suffers from
slight to severe hypothyroidism. In Hypothyroidism
Type 2: The Epidemic, Dr. Mark Starr explains the
differences between Types 1 and 2 hypothyroidism.
With Type 1, the thyroid does not produce sufficient
amounts of hormone to maintain “normal” blood
levels of hormones (which in turn maintain normal
blood levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone, or
TSH, produced by the pituitary). With Type 2,
the thyroid gland produces “normal” amounts of
hormone, but the cells are unable to utilize the
hormone properly. Some experts call this thyroid
hormone resistance, which may be regarded as similar
to insulin resistance.
The body fails to accept or utilize thyroid
hormone for many reasons. The mitochondria—
microscopic energy-burning units of the cell
responsible for about 90% of our energy production
that all cells and tissues need for metabolism—are
impaired. Mitochondrial defects, which interfere
with every aspect of thyroid metabolism, are
usually caused by environmental toxins, including
petroleum, pesticides, organic solvents and heavy
metals, especially mercury. (Fat-soluble toxins
lodge in the fat cells, and women’s bodies contain
more fat than men’s; so a greater number of women
suffer from hypothyroidism than do men.) Faulty
thyroid receptors on the cell membranes can also
cause hypothyroidism by making it impossible
for enough hormone to enter the nucleus, where
genes are activated and protein synthesis occurs.
Finally, abnormally high levels of mucin cause
disease conditions in over 55% of hypothyroid
subjects. Mucin is a sugar-protein compound that
readily absorbs water and is normally present in
different types of connective tissue everywhere in
FREQUENCY DIRECTORY

the body: in the lining of blood vessels, in the nerve
sheaths, in the fascia enveloping the muscles, in
mucous membrane linings of the respiratory tract
(such as the sinuses), and in the gastrointestinal
and urinary tracts—not to mention every single
cell in the organs and glands. When present in
normal amounts, mucin is not a problem; but in
excess, it damages the connective tissue wherever
it accumulates. This helps explain the diversity of
serious hypothyroidism-related conditions, which
include Lupus and congestive heart failure.
Inadequate thyroid hormone at the cellular level
also negatively impacts other glands. To compensate
for the weakness and low metabolism caused by
inadequate thyroid hormone, other parts of the
body overwork (especially the adrenals, and even
including the sympathetic nervous system). This
may cause the subject to temporarily experience
a rapid heartbeat, and/or feel hyperactive, jittery
and restless—until exhaustion sets in from the
unnatural attempts to compensate for low thyroid
hormone levels. More often, though, the majority
of sufferers simply feel fatigued and weak most of
the time. This is why it’s important to support other
organs and glands (especially the adrenals) when
treating hypothyroidism.
Hypothyroidism can be catalyzed or exacerbated
by constant low temperatures, and a diet heavy in
carbohydrates, gluten, dairy, and especially soy. A
healthy thyroid gland can also become sluggish due
to radiation exposure from nuclear bomb “testing”
or X-rays: radiation creates radioactive iodine,
which then displaces the non-radioactive iodine that
naturally feeds the thyroid gland.
Laboratory tests showing inadequate
bloodstream levels of thyroid hormone make it
easy to diagnose Type 1 hypothyroidism. However,
lab tests fail to detect Type 2 hypothyroidism
because despite adequate blood hormone levels,
the body cannot accept and utilize the hormone.
Therefore, the best hypothyroidism test (developed
by Dr. Barnes) is to take the armpit temperature
before rising every day, over a week or more. If
the temperature averages lower than 97.8ºF (about
36.6ºC), the person is hypothyroid. One could be
hypothyroid with a near-normal basal temperature;
but this test is still the most accurate diagnostic
tool. Of course, one’s symptoms and clinical
picture are the definitive test.
Hypothyroidism usually requires medication,
and the proper kind! Prolonged administration
of synthetic thyroxin (T4) is the least effective,
and may shut down the gland entirely. The most
effective treatment is whole desiccated thyroid (from
pigs) made from the entire gland and its contents:

reduction of blood and oxygen in the brain due to blood
vessel blockage), hemorrhage (abnormal discharge of blood
from a blood vessel into surrounding tissue or outside of
the body), or embolism (the obstruction of a major blood

HEMOCHROMATOSIS
Known as “iron overload” or “iron storage disease,” due to
abnormal iron metabolism that permits absorption of too

hereditary but can also be acquired. Symptoms include
chronic fatigue (most common); cirrhosis or cancer of
the liver; arthritis and joint pain; impotence, sterility or
infertility; menstruation problems or irregularities; hair
loss; diabetes; cancer (cancer thrives on iron); abdominal
pain or swelling; weight loss; frequent infections; immune
dysfunction; headaches; hypothyroidism; heart problems; and
even death. This range of symptoms is due to the ability of
excess iron to injure virtually all body organs and systems.

can spread to humans who work in tropical rain forests and
are bitten by mosquitoes infected by monkeys. Intermediate
Cats Give Themselves Rife Sessions
Why do cats purr? . . . [They] purr when they are . . . content. However they also purr when frightened, severely injured,
giving birth and even while dying.
For the purr to exist in different cat species over time, geographical isolation, etc., there would likely have to be
something very important (survival mechanism) about the purr. There also would have to be a very good reason for
energy expenditure (in this case creation of the purr) when one is physically stressed or ill. The vibration of the cat’s
diaphragm, which with the larynx, creates the purr, requires energy. If an animal is injured they would not use this
energy unless it was beneficial to their survival. . . .
Most people have heard of a cat’s “nine lives.” There is also an old veterinary adage still repeated in veterinary
schools which states, “If you put a cat and a bunch of broken bones in the same room, the bones will heal.” Any
veterinary orthopedic surgeon will tell you how relatively easy it is to mend broken cat bones compared with dog
bones, which take much more effort to fix, and take longer to heal. There is excellent documentation of the cats’
quick recovery from . . . [falling from] high-rise [buildings]. . . . [Researchers] documented 132 cases of cats plummeting many stories from high rise apartments (average 5.5 stories), some suffering severe injuries. Interestingly, 90% of
these cats survived. . . . There is another clue found in a study performed by Dr. T.F. Cook (1973), [called] “The Relief
of Dyspnoea in Cats by Purring,” in the New Zealand Veterinary Journal. [Dyspnea is shortness of breath, the feeling of not getting enough air.] A dying cat who could not breathe (they were considering euthanasia) was found to
breathe normally once it began purring. The purring opened up the cat’s airway, and improvement was “remarkable
and the next day [the cat] commenced to eat. . . .” Three species of cats have a strong harmonic at exactly 100 Hz, the
vibrational frequency found to relieve dyspnea; one species [is] within 2 Hz and one species within 7 Hz of 100 Hz. It
could be that the cat’s purr decreases the breathlessness by vibratory stimulation.
Fauna Communications has recorded many cats’ purrs at a non-profit facility and the Cincinnati Zoo, including the
cheetah, puma, serval, ocelot and the domestic house cat. After analysis of the data, we discovered that:
l The dominant and fundamental frequency for three species of cats’ purrs is exactly 25 Hz, or 50 Hz the best frequencies for bone growth and fracture healing. All of the cats’ purrs all fall well within the 20–50 Hz anabolic range,
and extend up to 140 Hz. All the cats except the cheetah have a dominant or strong harmonic at 50 Hz.
l The harmonics of three cat species fall exactly on or within 2 points of 120 Hz which has been found to repair
tendons. One species [is] within 3 Hz and one within 7 Hz.
l Eighteen to thirty-five Hz is used in therapeutic biomechanical stimulation for joint mobility. Considering the small
size of many of these cats, especially the domestic cats, it is interesting to note that all of the individual cats have
dominant frequencies within this range. In fact, some of the cats have 2–3 harmonics in this range.
l The frequencies for therapeutic pain relief are from 50–150 Hz. All of the individual cats have al least 5 sets of
strong harmonics in this range.
l Therapeutic frequencies for the generation of muscle strength lie between 2–100 Hz. All of the individual cats have
al least 4 sets of strong harmonics in this range.
l Therapy for COPD [Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease] uses 100 Hz; all of the individual cats have a dominant
frequency of exactly 100 Hz.

Is it possible that evolution has provided the felines of this world with a natural healing mechanism for bones and
other organs? Researchers at Fauna Communications believe so.
Being able to produce frequencies that have been proven to improve healing time, strength and mobility could
explain the purr’s natural selection. In the wild when food is plentiful, the felids are relatively sedentary. They will
spend a large portion of the day and night lounging in trees or on the ground. Consistent exercise is one of the greatest
contributors to bone, muscle, tendon and ligament strength. If a cat’s exercise is sporadic, it would be advantageous
for them to stimulate bone growth while at rest. As well, following injury, immediate exercise can re-break bone and
re-tear . . . muscle and tendon [that are healing]. Inactivity decreases the strength of muscles. Therefore, having an
internal vibrational therapeutic system to stimulate healing would be advantageous, and would also reduce edema
and provide a measure of pain relief during the healing process.
In summary: vibrations between 20 Hz and 40 Hz are therapeutic for bone growth/fracture healing, pain relief/
swelling reduction, wound healing, muscle growth and repair, tendon repair, mobility of joints and the relief of dyspnea. . . .
Cats do not have near the prevalence of orthopedic disease or ligament and muscle traumas as dogs do. . . . [Also, the]
non-union of fractures in cats is rare. Osteo [bone] diseases . . . are rarely found in cats but can be found in all breeds
and sexes of dogs. . . .
It is suggested that purring be stimulated as much as possible when cats are ill or under duress. If purring is a healing mechanism, it may just help them to recover faster, and perhaps could even save their [lives].
—Elizabeth von Muggenthaler
excerpted from “The Felid Purr: A bio-mechanical healing mechanism,” 2001 and 2006
Yellow Fever occurs simultaneously in many humid or semihumid savannah villages of Africa, but fewer people die
from infection. And urban Yellow Fever, which affects only
humans, is spread by mosquitoes that have been infected
by other people. Symptoms include high fever, chills,
headache, muscle and back aches, vomiting (sometimes
bloody), abdominal cramping, and mental confusion. More
serious cases involve kidney and heart failure, seizures, and
coma. The liver malfunction characteristic of this condition
causes jaundice—the yellowing of the skin and whites of
the eyes—giving Yellow Fever its name. About 5% of
people who contract this illness die, usually within a week
of the appearance of symptoms.
This disease can lie dormant and then suddenly become
an epidemic. Yellow Fever, common in parts of South
America and Africa, has increased since the 1980s. The
only treatment medical science suggests is to rest and
drink plenty of fluids for a long time—and as a supposed
prevention, vaccination. However, several homeopathic
remedies are used as well. Andrew Lockie advises, during
an acute attack, to take Aconitum napellus 30C if the person
is feverish, vomiting, jaundiced and restless; Bryonia 10C if
there is pain in abdomen, vomiting and where symptoms
are made worse by the slightest movement; and Arsenicum
album 6C if the subject is exhausted, restless, chilly, and
thirsty for sips of water. Nevertheless, for emergencies and
serious illnesses, consult an experienced homeopath rather
than try to self-treat.

H1N1
See “Swine Flu / H1N1” in this section.
Herpes, all types
This is both the name of the virus and also the various
conditions it causes. Symptoms are many: sores and
inflammation in the genitals, mouth, along the skin, or in
the nerves deep inside the body. There are several different
kinds of Herpes viruses. Herpes zoster causes chicken pox
and shingles. Cytomegalovirus affects primarily very
young infants and children with what is sometimes called
Cytomegalic Inclusion Disease (CID). And the Herpes
simplex virus (sometimes called Herpes virus hominis) is
also known as Human Herpes Virus 1; although there is
apparently more than one type of Herpes simplex. These
viruses are becoming so numerous, and are manifesting
so many different kinds of symptoms, that their various
classifications are very confusing. One strain of this virus
often has several names.
Contrary to popular belief, the different kinds of Herpes
viruses do not necessarily stay in “their own” location—
they can and will migrate to other parts of the body, even
though the sores may not be as recognizable once they are
outside their customary location. Therefore, if for example
you have sores on your mouth, do not engage in oralgenital contact in the mistaken belief that your oral Herpes
will not affect someone else’s genital region—because you
are mistaken, and you might infect your partner! If one set
of frequencies doesn’t work, try other sets.
Diet is important in controlling Herpes. During active
outbreaks, avoid grains of any kind, legumes (peas and
beans), corn, chocolate, coffee, nuts and seeds. These
contain high amounts of the amino acid arginine, which
allows the virus to replicate. Supplementation of lysine (an
amino acid) can be helpful, since it retards viral growth.
Also avoid fruits and sugars, on which the virus feeds.

620 THE RIFE HANDBOOK
It is now widely accepted that doctors who are compassionate make better healers. Deepak Chopra writes
how his native East Indian background helped him
transform from a medical instrument into the healer
he had always wanted to be. He realized that loving
the people he treats is the key to helping them. Loving
others means respecting their essential humanity.
“If there is any fear of disease, any rejection of the
patient, or any clinging to authority,” he asserts,
“then conventional medicine cannot be transcended.
What should be an art remains a common trade.” 4
launched into a discussion of various devices, her continual,
almost frantic demand for proof that they worked suggested
to me that something was wrong. I began to suspect that
what Shelly wanted for her father was very different from
what he wanted for himself.
“How does he feel about all this strange-sounding technology?” I asked her.
“He’s a little resistant to the idea,” she replied, “but I
want to do as much research as possible so I have something
solid to present to him, something he can’t refute.”
Was her father open to holistic health in general? I asked
her. Not really. Was he willing to change his diet? No. Did
she think he would drink water, to flush out the toxins
liberated by the technology? She wasn’t sure.
So I said to her, very gently, “Shelly, maybe it’s his time
to leave. Maybe he’s trying to stay because you won’t let
go of him. But maybe that’s not what he needs to do. Do
you think you can let go of him if he needs to die?”
Shelly burst into tears. In the next hour, we addressed
her attachment to her father and any unresolved issues
between them. After a very candid heart-to-heart talk,
and some imagery work that I facilitated, Shelly decided
not to pursue rifing or any other modality. She did decide
to visit her father in the hospital and tell him that no
matter what he wanted to do, she would unconditionally
support him.
About nine months later, she sent me a lovely gift with
a note. “Thank you so much for helping me let go of my
father,” the note said. “Right after we spoke I went to
say goodbye to him. It was his last lucid week. I told him
that I would miss him terribly, but had forgiven him for
wanting to leave. I am at peace now.” I was happy to hear
of Shelly’s positive experience with her father’s death.
They both got what they needed—and what they needed
was not rife therapy. It was the ability to let go. Shelley’s
father was able to let go of his wasted body. And Shelley
was able to let go of her need to keep him alive at any cost.
Paradoxically (but not surprisingly), when Shelley let go,
she and her father were able to share some of the closeness
that she (and undoubtedly he) had craved. They both also
experienced a sense of resolution and completeness. This
closure allowed her father to have one form of rest, and
gave Shelley another.
Sometimes, the letting go that people experience is
not a relinquishing of the body, but a release of old habits
and unproductive ways of thinking. When we let go of
what we don’t need, healed emotions and a different way
of life can enter to fill the void. I’ve had the privilege of
witnessing such unexpected (and delightful) changes.
Extraordinary, determined people, with so-called incurable illnesses such as Stage IV cancer, refuse to accept
a medical pronouncement of “less than one month to
live”—and miraculously begin to reverse their condition
within days of starting rife therapy. And I cannot count
how many times people have said to me, “My doctor
told me that if she hadn’t seen my ‘before’ X-rays, she
wouldn’t have believed I ever had cancer.” There are
many such cases, and I find them inspiring and moving.
The biggest triumph is knowing that you can approach
life on your own terms.
Death may come soon, or it may come later. We may
not have control over when we leave. But we can make
the most of whatever time we have left. Being honest
about who we are can energize us in ways we might not
have imagined.
Doctor Support, or Lack of It
Support from health professionals is always important.
But for those who have life-threatening illnesses, a lack
of support can feel devastating. I have heard many horror
stories about medical doctors who are not supportive to
those entrusted to their care.
l
“My doctor was very upset that I didn’t follow his regimen, even though I got better and eventually became
cancer-free. Why did he get so upset? He should have
just been happy that I’m still alive.”
l
“My doctor said I was terminally ill and had mere
weeks to live. But then he got mad at me for refusing
surgery and a blood transfusion! How come? If
according to him I was going to die soon anyway,
why should I put myself through the torture and
cost of an operation—which in the end wouldn’t
even matter? The doctor ended up kicking me out
of his office and told me not to come back. He told
all his colleagues not to see me either. Well, it’s four
years later and I’m still here. The other day when I
saw him walking toward me, he crossed the street
so he didn’t have to say hello. He doesn’t want to
have anything to do with me.”
CREATING A BETTER WORLD, INSIDE AND OUT
l
l
“I don’t understand why my doctor turned on me. Oh
well, when you’ve been like a god for so long, it’s hard
when your worshippers find a new religion.”
“As a chiropractor, I’ve heard many stories from people
with so-called terminal diseases about how their doctors were aggressive and verbally abusive because they
got better and didn’t die.”
Sometimes, practitioners publicly denounce the very
treatments they secretly adopt. There’s no way of knowing
how often this occurs, but it does happen.
l
“I know an orthodox medical doctor who doesn’t
follow his own advice. Once I asked his opinion of chelation therapy [the oral or intravenous administration
of substances that bind with toxic metals so they can
be eliminated by the body]. He told me that chelation
is a fraud. But guess what? Soon after, when I started
taking chelation treatments at a holistic facility, I discovered that very doctor taking chelation therapy at
the facility—but in a special ‘VIP room’ with its own
entryway. What a hypocrite!”
Some doctors, immersed in what they have been
taught, refuse to believe that people with cancer can heal
themselves.
l
“A few years ago I developed a tumor on one of my
lungs. My doctor ordered regular X-rays to ‘monitor’
the tumor for growth, but other than that, there really
wasn’t anything he could do for me. So I bought a frequency device and used it faithfully. During my last
visit, I was asked to have another X-ray—two X-rays
during the same visit! My doctor told me, ‘You do not
have a tumor on your lung.’ I said, ‘What about the
previous five X-rays?’ The doc said, ‘They must have
been mistakes.’ He did not even want to know what I
had done for myself!”
The more optimistic tales are variations of the
following:
l
“When I went in for my weekly office visit, my
doctor told me he couldn’t believe the progress on
my blood tests and X-rays, so he asked me what I
was doing. I was afraid to tell him everything, so
I mumbled something about herbs and vitamins.
‘Well,’ he said, smiling, ‘keep it up.’ But he didn’t
ask me what I was doing.”
Why didn’t that doctor inquire what the person was
doing? Why wouldn’t those doctors want to know what was
helping their clients? One would think that they’d jump at
the chance to help more people by adding more therapies
to their repertoire. But alas, it usually doesn’t work that
621
Communicate with Your Doctor
I think it important to tell your physician about anything that you have done or used to improve health.
There are some good reasons for this. First, your
doctor begins to understand that there are other
ways to heal than what s/he was taught in school.
Second, the doctor needs to know what you are doing
so that possible interactions with any medications
or treatments can be avoided. Third, as your doctor
learns from you and others, s/he won’t be making
statements based on prejudices and misinformation
acquired in school.
If the medical world won’t build a bridge to us, we
must build one to them. In doing so, everyone wins.

chiropractor and inventor of the Bare-Rife device

way, especially if a client’s journey is outside the doctor’s
sphere of knowledge.
It appears that medical professionals feel threatened—
embarrassed to be unmasked for not being all-powerful
and not knowing how to fix the client. Western-trained
physicians who are “supposed” to know their trade frequently resent being disgraced by a non-mainstream
therapy that succeeds where allopathic medicine fails.
After all the time, money and effort spent on education
and career development, to have a client beat the dismal
odds—with self-treatment, no less—can feel like a huge
blow to one’s ego.
Obviously, this attitude has nothing to do with healing,
or serving the people one has pledged to help. It has more
to do with commitment to an illusory image, rather
than being committed to service stemming from a place
of love.
That said, I do not wish to unfairly charge all physicians with being self-serving. Medical training is carefully
structured to prevent one from even thinking of deviating
from the curriculum. Medical students are not routinely
taught the basics of nutrition—let alone holistic therapies that are even more removed from their sphere of
training and knowledge. As one depleted, sleep-deprived
young intern once said to me: “I’m on call 24 hours a day,
exhausted, and I’m still expected to be in top form at all
times. All I did in medical school was memorize what
my teachers wanted me to learn. How am I supposed to
get into anything new when I’m simply trying to survive
medical school?” By the time such med students become
doctors, they focus primarily on earning enough money to
pay their rent and their educational loans. Who has time
for anything else?
APPENDIX A
Resources
Most people live, whether physically, intellectually or morally, in a very restricted circle of their
potential being. They make use of a very small portion of their possible consciousness, and
of their soul’s resources in general, much like a man who, out of his whole bodily organism,
should get into a habit of using and moving only his little finger. Great emergencies and
crises show us how much greater our vital resources are than we had supposed.

singlet oxygen atoms than ordinary ozone. Aran™ kills
bacteria and fungi; removes dust, pollen and mold; produces beneficial negative ions without creating harmful
electromagnetic radiation; and removes organic and some
inorganic chemicals. Generators come in all sizes and
powers for home and industrial needs. Home units cost
about five cents to run for 24 continuous hours.
Based on research of NASA scientist Dr. B.C. Wolverton,
the Plant Air Purifier® uses a common houseplant to purify
indoor air. System includes activated carbon (to attract
particles from the air) and washed ceramic media to hold
the plant. While microorganisms naturally living on plant
roots consume harmful toxins and convert them into nutrients for the plant, a small built-in electric fan circulates air
through the roots and into the room. System cleans up to
100 times more air than a regular plant, and requires only
water and occasional plant food.

Healing with Electromedicine
and Sound Therapies
The universe is wider than our views of it.

physical matter. Broadly speaking, electromedical devices
produce and focus specific frequencies that can be in the
form of electromagnetic fields, electrical current, magnetism, visible light, heat, or other energy.
Although electromedicine is widely used in Europe, it
is less known in the United States. Few people in developed countries would question the use of the ubiquitous
transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) unit,
which emits small amounts of electrical current to manage
pain. And magnets embedded in the insoles of shoes, also
for pain management, are now a regular item in consumer
catalogues. But electricity and magnetism are primarily
used diagnostically in hospitals—such as with the standard
electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) to assess the health of
the heart, and with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
to show the inside of the body. Most medical professionals
(and the lay public) are not inclined to take advantage of
less popular electromedical devices because they do not
understand how they work. And those who do use the
equipment might talk about “frequencies” or “energy”
without a full grasp of what these actually are or the science behind the technology.
Fortunately, receptivity to electromedicine is increasing.
Health professionals are expanding their practice (and their
success rate) with safe, holistic technologies. The general
public is beginning to recognize and request electromedicine as an effective and valid treatment modality. In this
INTRODUCTION
In the 1960s, counterculture hippies were urging us to give
peace a chance (great advice). To expedite that process,
it was helpful to have “good vibrations”—considered so
important that the Beach Boys wrote a catchy song with
this title. It was easy to tell who had good vibes and who
didn’t. An optimistic, considerate person was considered
“high frequency,” while a pessimistic, disagreeable individual was “low frequency.” Not surprisingly, everyone
wanted to be around the folks who had good vibes.
Colloquialism aside, saying that someone is “high
frequency” is based on legitimate science. Every molecule, cell, living body, and object is comprised of energy
that manifests as physical matter. Some of that energy is
detectible as frequencies that belong to one or more radiation bands in the electromagnetic spectrum. And these
frequencies correspond to biochemical and biological
processes in the body.
In the healing arts, there are different ways to affect
matter. With conventional medical care, the chemical,
functional, and/or structural change in organs, glands,
and other tissues are created either through biochemical
manipulation (drugs) or physical manipulation (such as surgery). With electromedicine therapies, healing is achieved
by working with the electromagnetic radiation (emissions)
and related energy fields that form, and are emitted by,

discourse, I will explain what “frequency” and other terms
mean as they are applied to the electromagnetic spectrum.
Electromagnetic energy in living systems will be reviewed.
I will explore several types of electromedical modalities.
And I’ll discuss the related modality of sound therapy.
ELECTROMEDICINE THROUGHOUT HISTORY
Healing with electromedicine is not new. From electricity
(lightning) and static electricity (friction) to magnetism
(lodestone), from the sun (for its far infrared and ultraviolet radiation) to visible light (for its different colored
wavelengths), humans have used electromedicine for
healing since ancient times. The therapies were first based
on natural phenomenon, but about the early 1800s, electrical current began to be harnessed—first for providing
light and then for more sophisticated needs, such as for
telegraphing messages over long distances and running
machines in factories. By the 1900s, electrical power was
common in the home as well as the workplace.
Given the healing properties of many forms of energy,
it did not take long before numerous electronic devices
invented for medical treatments were considered mainstream. In Electrotherapy and Light Therapy with Essentials
of Hydrotherapy and Mechanotherapy, published in 1949,
Richard Kovács describes an impressive array of electronic
equipment, most of which had already been in use for half
a century. This equipment utilized alternating current,
direct current, low frequencies, high frequencies, static
electricity, diathermy, infrared rays, ultraviolet rays, and
ultrasonics. Modern electromedicine practitioners will
recognize some of these devices as forerunners of those
used today—if not the machines still being used, since
some devices have not changed much in 100 years. Some
of this equipment included Georges Lakhovsky’s multiwave oscillator, the Violet Ray (which utilized Nikola
Tesla’s coil), Edgar Cayce’s Wet Cell, and Dr. John Harvey
Kellogg’s Electric Light Cabinet. The conditions treated
were virtually unlimited: muscular aches and pains, skin
conditions, gynecological problems, some heart conditions, respiratory ailments, gastrointestinal disorders,
acute and chronic infections, and degenerative diseases.
Given the wide applications of such equipment over
half a century ago, what seems remarkable is not the
abundance and range of devices, but rather the resistance
to electromedicine today. Of course, the invalidation of
electromedical therapies by the medical mainstream—and
laws passed to suppress the use of such devices—drove
these modalities out of the public’s immediate consciousness. Electromedicine as a valid treatment modality has
met with derision and skepticism from practitioners and
laypeople alike. But electromagnetic fields are successfully
used for diagnostic purposes, with the understanding that
living organisms are energy-based. If all sorts of electrical,
thermal, and magnetic devices (as well as the acousticbased ultrasound) are used for testing, why can’t they just
as easily be used for healing?
As might be expected, the pharmaceutical industry has
taken advantage of people’s ignorance and resistance to any
modality that seems new and strange, for if the benefits
and track record of electromedical devices were widely
publicized, drug companies would lose billions of dollars
each year. There is little effort by mainstream media to
educate consumers, since it depends on considerable revenues from the advertising of drugs.
Unlike drugs, each of which can be used only one time
by one person and for just one or two conditions, the many
electromedicine modalities that have emerged in the last
century
l
Are non-invasive.
l
Support the body’s innate ability to heal, instead of
substituting for its natural functions.
l
Are fairly easy to use, by laypeople as well as
professionals.
l
Can be utilized over the course of a lifetime (since they
address many conditions).
l
Can be used with more than one person.
l
Are relatively inexpensive, considering their range and
scope.
How and why do electromedical devices work? Whether
one is a health care provider or a seeker of health services,
understanding the science behind electromedicine can
make the difference between discerning good vibrations
from bad. The best place to start is with a discussion of the
EM spectrum and its related component, sound.
THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM
AND SOUND
EM Spectrum Defined by Its Particles
and Their Effects
The electromagnetic spectrum (or EM spectrum,
sometimes also called EM waves) is the term used for
many different energy oscillations that comprise our
known universe. As shown on the chart of the EM
spectrum (Figure 1), these different oscillations with
APPENDIX C: HEALING WITH ELECTROMEDICINE AND SOUND THERAPIES
different characteristics range from the slower-moving,
lower-energy electrons of electrical current to the
faster-moving, higher-energy photons of visible light
and other waves.
It’s common to think of the various EM energy bands
as unrelated phenomena that are separate from each other,
since we perceive them differently with our senses (when
we can perceive them at all). We see visible light as color,
we feel far infrared radiation as heat, and so on. But all
Figure 1: The Electromagnetic Spectrum
667
these energies are sequentially connected to each other as
a continuum of waves in the EM spectrum. The nature of
the particles depends on how fast they are moving and the
qualities that they exhibit.
Humans perceive most of the EM frequencies indirectly
through their effects, rather than directly perceiving the
frequencies themselves. We label and differentiate EM
waves from each other, according to how they manifest physically. By harnessing the waves with various
668 THE RIFE HANDBOOK
electrical devices and some passive (non-electrical) materials, we can produce tangible physical phenomena. For
instance, we access frequencies on the radio spectrum
with an antenna, which transmits and receives radio
broadcasts. An X-ray machine utilizes certain radiation
on the X-ray band, which allows us to see inside the
body, and so on.
The existence of an EM field includes both electric
and magnetic fields. An EM field has certain properties,
electrical fields have other properties, and magnetic fields
possess yet others. Electrical and magnetic fields can be
separated from EM fields as their own distinct energies.
They can also exist in EM fields in varying proportions.
Frequency, Wavelength, and Amplitude
All the energies in the EM spectrum have different frequencies. The term frequency pertains to the number of
cycles per second at which a wave vibrates or moves. (The
designation “CPS” has now been replaced with hertz,
or Hz.) Waves also have different sizes or lengths, with
various terms such as micron, angstrom, nanometer, and
meter used to measure the length. (The waves shown
here are sine waves. Different shaped waves will be discussed later.) See Figure 2.
as the measurement addresses one complete cycle (peak
to peak, trough to trough, etc.).
Figure 3: Length of One Wave Cycle
As the number of waves within a given space—in other
words, their frequency—increases in number per second,
their size becomes smaller. And as the number of waves
decreases in number per second, their size becomes larger.
Put another way, the higher the frequency or oscillation rate
of a wave, the smaller the wavelength. The lower the frequency
or oscillation rate of a wave, the larger the wavelength. “A
homely comparison to visualize this,” Kovács analogizes,
“may be a motley army of giants and dwarfs, all under
orders to reach the same goal simultaneously; in order to
do so the giants step out leisurely, while the dwarfs run and
take hundreds of steps for each one of the giants.”1
In Figure 4 below, the frequency of the top wave is
higher than the frequency of the bottom wave, because
the distance is shorter between the peaks of the waves.
The wave forms in this example are simple sine waves.
Wave is a movement of energy along a directional
axis.
Frequency is a rate of oscillation measured by the
number of wave cycles per unit time (usually in hertz).
Wavelength is the length or distance between two
identical points on the wave (which comprises one
complete wave cycle). This is described with different
terms of measurement, depending on the size of
the wave.
Amplitude is the point of maximum intensity of the
signal (usually regarded as the highest point on the
wave). It is comparable to turning up the volume on
a radio.
Figure 2: Key EM Wave Definitions
The peak of the wave is the highest point on top. The
trough of the wave is the lowest point on bottom. The
length of a wave is often measured peak to peak. (See
arrows in Figure 3 below.) Technically, however, any portion of the wave can be used as a reference point, as long
Figure 4: Comparing Two Frequencies
In order from slower-moving to faster-moving, frequencies in the EM spectrum include radio waves, microwaves,
infrared light, visible light, ultraviolet light, X-rays, and
gamma rays.
Electric Fields and Magnetic Fields
So far, I have been discussing electromagnetic radiation from the EM spectrum. Electromagnetic radiation
(radiant energy) and electromagnetic fields (non-radiant
spaces in which energy exists) operate somewhat differently. Both come from electromagnetic sources.
However, energy that radiates exists separately from its
source. It travels away from its source, and it continues
to exist even if the source is turned off. EM fields are not
projected out into space. They no longer exist when the
energy source is turned off.
APPENDIX C: HEALING WITH ELECTROMEDICINE AND SOUND THERAPIES
Static electricity and magnetism are both static fields
that share a complex and intimate relationship with each
other. An oscillating electric field generates an oscillating
magnetic field, and an oscillating magnetic field generates
an oscillating electric field. Each exists at right angles to
the other. Most importantly, when movement is introduced
to either a static electrical field or a magnetic field, they
become electromagnetic fields. This will be important to
remember when we later examine a number of different
electromedical devices.

are more pleasing than irregular waveforms to the eye. In
Figure 5, in the examples of music, all the instruments are
playing the same note.
The wave forms of music on an oscilloscope show
organization, with obvious patterns.
The wave forms of noise on an oscilloscope show disorganization, with no discernable pattern.
Sound
The EM spectrum is often compared to sound, since
the two phenomena share many of the same features.
Sound is comprised of mechanical pressure waves in a
compressible medium such as air or water. Put another
way, sound is created when an object moves with enough
force to displace (compress) the surrounding air (or
other medium capable of carrying these waves). We
hear many of these waves (air currents) as audible frequencies (sound), because after the air reaches the ear,
it minutely moves the eardrum—a delicate drum-like
membrane—and sends the oscillations to the brain,
where they are then decoded into traffic noise, music,
spoken words, the barking of a dog, and so on. The
waves of sound could be created by a pen dropping on a
desk, someone’s vocal cords being moved in speech, or
a violin string being plucked.
The frequency of a wave (expressed as cycles per
second) that applies to the EM spectrum also applies to
music, a subset of sound. The pitch of a note depends on its
frequency. A lower frequency, or an oscillation rate of fewer
Hz, is slower-moving and produces a lower tone. A higher
frequency, or an oscillation rate of more Hz, is faster-moving
and produces a higher tone.
Frequency can be more easily understood and perceived
with music than with random sound (noise). Noise—as
well as some harsh electronic music—is comprised of
disorganized waveforms. This disorganization manifests
acoustically as indistinct, muddy pitches. Music, on the
other hand, is comprised of organized waveforms. This
organization manifests acoustically as distinct, discernible
pitches. The difference between music and noise can be
seen on an oscilloscope—a testing device that shows visually what we hear acoustically—with real-time pictures
of wave forms (Figure 5). Noise, or random sound, on
the oscilloscope appears as irregular wave forms, while
music or pure tones appear as regular wave forms. For
most people, the acoustic and the visual correlate: music is
more pleasing than noise to the ear, and regular waveforms
Music – Symmetry
1. Tuning Fork. Very pure sound; prongs vibrate
regularly.
2. Violin. Bright sound, angular waveform. Same pitch
as tuning fork: peaks of the waves are the same
distance apart and pass at the same rate as those
produced by the tuning fork.
3. Flute. Playing same note as first two. Purer sound
than that of the violin, so its waveform is more
rounded.
Noise – Asymmetry
4. Cymbal. Irregular patterns and jagged, random
waveforms, no discernible pitch. No regular pattern
of peaks and troughs.

there is disease and degeneration. When the oscillations are
mathematically harmonious (which corresponds to music),
the cells function optimally and correctly.
Pulsed Magnetic Fields

The more complex an object, the more frequencies it
contains. Also, the more complex wave forms it will have.
A useful analogy between simple and complex forms is
the difference between plucking a single string (which
represents a simple organism like an amoeba) and playing
an entire orchestra (which represents a complex organism
like a human being).
Symmetry and Asymmetry: The
Language of Math and Music
The symmetry of music and the asymmetry of noise can
also be described mathematically. Mathematically, sound
is comprised of random frequencies that have little or no
relationship to each other. Mathematically, tones or music
are comprised of frequencies that do have relationships to
each other. (A single, true tone will naturally be in symmetry with itself.) The absence of certain mathematical
relationships in sound and the presence of those relationships in music explain why sound can irritate the nerves
and music can calm them.
Although EM fields and sound transmit frequencies in different ways, the mathematical measurements
representing the relationship between electromagnetic
frequencies are the same as for music. Put another way,
the harmonic relationships of each system are governed by
identical mathematics. The frequencies of musical tones
and the EM spectrum exist in octaves, higher harmonics,
and lower harmonics of each other. Both musical tones and
EM spectrum frequencies have mathematical relationships
to some of the other frequencies that are higher or lower.
For example, a frequency that is multiplied or divided by
two produces a higher or lower octave of itself.
As with sound, EM fields possess symmetry and asymmetry. Various electromedical devices can detect the
equivalent of either noise or music in the oscillations of
cells and tissues in the body. When the oscillations are not
mathematically harmonious (which corresponds to noise),
There are many ways to induce an EM field. One way
is with magnetism. Although magnetism per se exists
in a static state, inducing movement in a magnetic field
creates a corresponding movement in the electric field
that naturally exists at right angles to it. The result is
electromagnetic radiation. When this type of EM radiation is created from movement, it is commonly referred
to as pulsed.
Pulsing a wave means that the signal is “on” for a
brief period, then off, then on, then off, etc. Pulsing is
independent of the frequency, which is equivalent to a
note in music. The pulsing is like the rhythm.
Carrying the analogy further, a wave taking up its
full cycle of “space” is a whole note. A wave taking up
only half of that cycle is a half note. A wave taking up
only one quarter of that cycle is a quarter note, a wave
taking up only one eighth of that cycle is an eighth
note, and so on. Speaking musically, the “on, off, on,
off ” aspect of the wave could also be regarded as “note,
rest, note, rest, etc.”
Many of the pulsed magnetic fields that are used in
electromedical devices have a “rhythm” comparable to
only an eighth note, because the wave is “on” for only
a brief period. But that brief period is long enough to
induce movement in the body. The movement of the
EM radiation in the body translates into ion transport,
increase in blood and lymph flow, and more. Any frequency can be pulsed.
In Figure 7, the bottom line shows a “lag time,” or
interval when the wave is at rest, before it resumes its
upward-moving cycle.
Top: peak of the wave
Bottom: time (duration) when wave is off

Figure 8 shows two waves in succession. Here, the “lag

Note that there is no trough to the wave because it has
been truncated.

Melatonin, a hormone that (among other functions) helps
induce sleep, is produced by the pineal only in darkness.
We now know that the pineal gland, deep inside the brain
in the skull, is exquisitely sensitive to light.

Stingrays find food because they can detect normal,
minute amounts of electrical discharge or magnetic
fields emanating from their prey.

Fish, dolphins, and whales use both the Earth’s magnetic fields and sonar (sound) for navigation and
communication.

The behavior of some animals has long been used to
forecast earthquakes. Cattle stampede, birds sing at
the wrong time of day, mother cats move their kittens,
snakes seek shelter. B. Blake Levitt writes: “It is now
thought that [the animals] are reacting to changes in the
Earth’s magnetic field, as well as to electrostatic charges
in the air—long before the quake actually occurs or
registers on even the most sensitive instruments.”2

results, which is why it is used. Some electromedical
devices using pulsed EM fields will be discussed later.
THE ELECTROMAGNETIC BODY
Energy in Living Systems
Electromagnetic waves can be used for diagnostic purposes
because living organisms are energy-based. Historically,
most cultures have erroneously regarded the body solely as a
mechanical and biochemical organism. But every cell in the
body is a transmitter and receiver of electromagnetic information. The following are examples of how human beings,
animals, and plants contain and respond to EM fields:
l
During migration, monarch butterflies, locusts, and
even blindfolded birds navigate flawlessly. Salamanders
and turtles also use magnetic fields to navigate. We
now know that magnetite, a highly magnetic mineral,
is found in the tissue and brains of insects, birds, reptiles, and amphibians.
l
Bacteria use their magnetic sense to burrow deeper
into the mud. We now know that magnetite is also
present in bacteria and protozoa.
l
Many kinds of fish are able to follow each other in
organized formations (“schools”) due to the magnetic
fields generated by the magnetite in their bodies.
l
The whiskers of dogs, cats, and other animals are now
recognized to function as antennas, due to their sensitivity to electromagnetic fields.
l
In plants, the sharp points of leaves, as well as pine
needles and the blades of some species of grass, act
like antennas for electrical signals.
671
In his article “The Electrical Properties of Cancer
Cells,”3 medical doctor Steve Haltiwanger describes how
the body partly functions as a living electrical circuit.
Various cells and tissues are conductors (allow for electron
flow), insulators (inhibit electron flow), semiconductors
(allow for electron flow in only one direction), capacitors
(accumulate and store charge, later to release that charge),
and so on. Cells transmit and receive energy, and each has
its very own frequency with which it oscillates.
Magnetic fields applied to the body create biological
changes, as do electrical fields (which are related to magnetic fields). We now know that in humans, the sinuses,
some other bones in the face, and various tissues in the
body contain magnetite.
Not only is every cell in the body a transmitter and
receiver of electromagnetic information, it is these various
electromagnetic frequencies that precede and correspond to
biochemical functions. For example, healthy cells oscil-
late at higher frequencies than do unhealthy cells such as
cancer cells. The lower frequency of cancer is reflected by
(and causes) the aberrant biochemical reactions within the
cell. Put another way, the biochemical differences between
normal healthy cells and cancer cells correspond to the
differences in the electrical properties of each. The same
holds true for magnetic fields. Magnetic fields correspond
to biological activity. A change in the magnetic field means
a change in the cells, either beneficial or harmful.
Harmful Effects of EM Radiation and EM Fields
In the last century, medical doctor and stress pioneer Hans
Selye observed that when bodily tissues are subjected to
672 THE RIFE HANDBOOK
repeated, intense input—whether chemical (environmental
pollutants, adrenal “fight-or-flight” hormones) or mechanical pressure (bruising)—the body perceives it as stress. It
responds by tightening the envelope of membranous fascia
that surrounds the muscles. This, in turn, causes significant
biochemical malfunctions, not the least of which is the
disruption of the cell membrane. Other stressors that can
disrupt cell integrity include the actual puncturing of the
cell membrane, and microbial infection. Cell permeability
for the proper materials is key. If glucose, other nutrients,
and beneficial hormones cannot efficiently enter the cell,
and if wastes cannot completely exit, microbes can proliferate and degenerative disease can occur.
To Selye’s list of stressors, I would add destructive EM
radiation and EM fields. It has been known for decades that
electrical fields can damage cells. B. Blake Levitt writes:
Direct current (DC) is the steady flow of electrons in one direction. Alternating current (AC) is
an electron flow that changes strength and alters
direction within a certain cycle; the AC field collapses and reappears with its poles reversed every
time the current changes direction. . . . Direct
current creates a steady magnetic field. But with
alternating current, each time the direction of
the electrons is reversed, or flipped, a powerful
magnetic field is created that fluctuates at the
same frequency.4
Another reason these fields are dangerous is that the
waves are coherent. Although the sun constantly transmits
naturally-occurring radio frequencies, microwaves and
other EM fields, this radiation is generally diffuse, whereas
alternating current is concentrated. Concentrated radiation is not natural. For example, you need to purposely
harness, focus, augment, and direct a bombardment of
electrons to turn on a light bulb. These highly coherent,
synthetic EM fields interfere with the body’s signaling
processes. Levitt points out:
The human race has never before in its evolutionary
history been exposed to such fields on a continuous
basis, and there are serious and mounting concerns
about the effects not just on individuals but on our
entire ecosystem. Since the turn of the [20th] century . . . we have surrounded ourselves with a
veritable sea of artificially produced electromagnetic
fields, all with a presumption of safety that . . .
should never have been made.5
The harmful effects of some EM fields are many
and varied. Jacqueline Krohn and colleagues point out
numerous studies showing that
electric workers and their children have a higher
risk of brain tumors. The incidence of childhood leukemia is higher in children who live
near power lines that carry high voltage. Powerline exposure has also been associated with an
increased incidence of suicide.
These studies support the hypothesis that
ELFs [extremely low frequencies] act as a cancer
promoter. ELF fields interact with the cell membrane and can affect hormones, calcium exchange,
and tissue growth. It is postulated that the ELFs
suppress the production of melatonin, a cancer
inhibitor, by the pineal gland.6
The effects of ELF fields is more than mere “postulation,”
as other researchers have corroborated. Smith and Best cite
formal published studies linking the following maladies to
extremely low frequency, electromagnetic fields:
l
Allergies
l
Autoimmune disorders, such as lupus erythematosus
and multiple sclerosis
l
Birth defects and genetic abnormalities
l
Cancers of various types, including brain tumors and
leukemia
l
Emotion and mood changes, including higher percentages of suicides
l
Eyestrain and headaches
l
Fatigue and sleep disturbance
l
Heart attacks
l
Hormonal abnormalities
l
Infectious disease increase
l
Lowered fertility, miscarriages, and pregnancy problems, including stillborn children
l
Nervous system disorders, including confusion, convulsions, dizziness, hyperactivity, and memory loss
l
Stress increase and intolerance7
The harm from EM fields and EM radiation also
depends on the proximity of the person, animal, or plant
to the source of the energy. A milligauss is a unit of measurement of the strength of an electromagnetic field.
According to tables from the Environmental Protection
Agency reprinted in Levitt’s book, a blender from six
inches away emits between 30 and 100 milligauss; an
electric can opener six inches away emits between 500
and 1500 milligauss; a hair dryer six inches away emits
APPENDIX C: HEALING WITH ELECTROMEDICINE AND SOUND THERAPIES
between 1 and 700 milligauss; and a ceiling fan twelve
inches away emits between 3 and 50 milligauss.8 Some
sources maintain that even 2 milligauss is enough to disrupt a person’s biological function and that the maximum
emission a person can safely absorb is only 1 milligauss.
This is why there is a high rate of illness among people
living near major power lines, cell phone towers, electrical
generators, and similar disruptors.
Healing Effects of EM Radiation and EM Fields
Considering the extent that artificially created, non-beneficial EM radiation surrounds us, it’s not surprising that (aside
from the contributing factors of poor diet, pathogens, and
chemical pollutants) so many people are ill. The good news
is, if frequencies can harm, they can also be used to heal.
Cells have the ability to positively and healthfully respond
to minute electromagnetic stimulus—as long as certain
criteria are met. The stimulus must be from the correct
region of the EM spectrum. It must be further refined (if
necessary) to an exact frequency, or combination of frequencies, on that EM band. It must be the correct intensity.
It must have the correct shape wave or wave packet. It must
be administered in the correct amounts. And it must be
accurately and precisely aimed at the target.
In electronics, the term inductive coupling refers to
the transfer of energy from one component to another
through a shared magnetic field. In electromedicine, the
response of living cells to beneficial EM radiation is also
known as inductive coupling. Once the EM fields inside
a cell are exposed to EM radiation, the fields within the
cell start to move. Along with this energetic process, the
corresponding biochemical responses are activated, such as
the movement of electrolytes through the cell membrane,
excretion of wastes, and so on. Inductive coupling is being
utilized in a growing number of extremely effective electromedical devices.
Researchers are discovering that many of the beneficial effects from electromedical devices come from pulsed
magnetic fields (which, by definition, become electromagnetic radiation). Pulsing a magnetic field does more than
induce movement in the body receiving the signal. Because
pulsing, by definition, means that there is an “off” period
to the signal, it ensures that the human or animal receiving
the signal does not become resistant to its effects. A good
analogy is someone tapping your arm. At first you pay
attention; but after awhile, the body becomes impervious
to the sensation so it can focus on other stimuli. This is one
of the secrets of electromedicine devices that are effective.
Correctly employed, frequency therapies can increase
cell energy, normalize membrane conductivity, lessen
oxidative stress, reduce the amounts of inflammatory
673
chemicals in the blood, improve protein synthesis, boost
feel-good endorphin levels, restore depleted adrenal function, and enhance immune function. The restoration of
these metabolic processes lead to the regeneration of tissue
as well as resistance to disease.
“Bigger is better” and “More is better” figure prominently in the Western mindset. The unbridled use of
massive doses of many different kinds of drugs and the
routine practice of “prophylactic” invasive surgery illustrate this mentality. Another, more humane edict—“Less
is more”—reflects what the body usually needs. The
exquisite sensitivity of cells to electromagnetic fields of
all kinds explains why electromedical devices work—and
why the more gentle ones work the best. Low power energies might not be easily perceived subjectively, but they are
the most compatible with living systems precisely because
they are of lower power.
Electromedicine therapies may use many portions of
the EM spectrum: electrical current, magnetism, visible
light, far infrared (FIR), ultraviolet (UV), and heat (in
the form of specific FIR wavelengths). In the following
sections, I’ll discuss some therapies that use various
EM wavelengths. I’ll also explore one use of sound for
therapeutic purposes.
EM RADIATION: RIFE FREQUENCY THERAPY
Rife frequency therapy is named after its inventor, Royal
Raymond Rife. After this technology was enthusiastically embraced by some of the most prominent physicians
and scientists of the 1930s and part of the 1940s, it was
driven underground by the pharmaceutical interests and
the American Medical Association (AMA). Only in the
last couple of decades has rife technology emerged again
in popularity, albeit in an altered form.
Royal Rife was born in Nebraska in 1888. Educated in
the fields of optics, electronics, biology, and chemistry, he
studied at Johns Hopkins University and had two years of
training to perform eye surgery and six years of training
with optical scientist and researcher Hans Luckel (who
worked for German-based company Zeiss Optics). Rife
designed and built many medical research instruments
including spectroscopes, optical tools, micromanipulators,
and stop-motion photomicrographs. However, one of his
most famous inventions was the 200-pound, 5,682-part
Universal Microscope, which stood between two and
three feet high.
During Rife’s time, specimens had to be killed and stained
in order to be seen under a microscope. Even modern electron microscopes, which produce high-resolution images,
kill the specimens being viewed, because in order to make
674 THE RIFE HANDBOOK
the specimens visible, an electron microscope bombards
them with electrons in a vacuum. However, the Universal
Microscope (completed in 1933) allowed microorganisms
(even tiny viruses) to be viewed in their live state with
crystal clarity. This held great promise in finding cures
for diseases, because if you can see how living organisms
respond to stimuli, you may find a way to destroy them.
As it turned out, the “stimuli” from Rife consisted of
frequencies produced by an EM field. If Rife exposed
a virus or bacterium to a particular frequency and the
pathogen began to vibrate—and then either grew weak
or completely broke apart—he knew that he had found
the resonant frequency (or simply frequency) of the microbe.
“Any object has a certain natural or resonant frequency,”
explains James L. Oschman:
Strike it, bump it, pluck it, or heat it, and it will
tend to vibrate at a specific frequency. This applies
to a bone, a piece of wood, a molecule, an electron, or a musical instrument. . . . In the living
body, each electron, atom, chemical bond, molecule, cell, tissue, organ (and the body as a whole)
has its own vibratory character [as well]. . . . In
terms of vibrations, the human body can be compared to a symphony orchestra. Each molecule
corresponds to a particular instrument. Each
bend, rotation, or stretch of a chemical bond
has a certain resonant frequency, and will give
off certain “notes” if it is energized. Since molecules, water, and dissolved ions are constantly
bumping into each other at body temperature,
all parts are constantly jiggling and absorbing
and emitting energy. . . . When two objects have
similar natural frequencies, they can interact
without touching; their vibrations can become
coupled or entrained. For electromagnetic interactions between molecules, the word “resonance”
is used more often than entrainment. In the older
literature you will find the term “sympathetic
vibrations.” 9
The microbe’s frequency (the number of cycles per
second at which it vibrated) was also known as its Mortal
Oscillatory Rate (MOR). An analogy explaining how
Rife’s ray tube worked was the cliché of the soprano who
shatters a glass with her pure, focused tone. If enough
power were applied, the resonant frequency killed the
microbe or debilitated it enough so that the body’s own
immune cells could then dispose of it.
Royal Rife’s ray machine (whose inspiration and fundamental operation appear to have come from Albert
Abrams’s Oscilloclast) delivered frequencies in the radio
frequency (RF) range by sending an electrical current
through a tube filled with noble gases (mostly argon and
neon). The gases would light up the tube, and the frequencies were emitted as EM radiation. It was the EM
wave, rather than the luminescence from the light, that
disabled or killed the pathogens. Rife discovered the
resonant frequencies for cancer, typhus, E. coli, and other
microorganisms. People given “terminal” diagnoses by
their doctors would often become well when exposed to
the Rife Ray. A microbial MOR frequency administered
at a low power level is harmful to a microbe, but does
not harm a larger host such as a human being or animal
because the host has a much more complex structure than
a microbe—and, hence, will barely feel the power input
that can kill a tiny microbe.
Many modern, second-generation rife machines also
contain plasma tubes filled with noble gases, although
some rife-type frequency devices utilize hand-held, tubular
metal electrodes to deliver frequencies into the body via
electrical current. Most of the tubes are freestanding; one
unit has long glass rods that are held. Due to technology
changes—and FCC regulations against devices transmitting over long distances in the RF range because they
interfere with radio broadcast signals—today’s units emit
much weaker signals in lower ranges, mostly from one to
20,000 Hz (hertz).
Rife technology devices can range from simple to
elaborate, with varying programming capabilities.
Smaller units can be the size of large loaves of bread,
while large ones equal the size of tower computers. The
user inputs the desired frequencies into the computerized machine, and a signal is sent to the noble gases in
the tube. The resulting EM field disables or kills the
microorganisms in the body, while also inputting energy
into the body’s cells.
In countries outside the United States, such as Germany
and Romania, rife technology is seriously researched and
publicized. Its legal status as a medical treatment means
that the technology is freely used in clinics and doctors’
offices. In North America, open-minded medical practitioners and health seekers have a more difficult time
finding manufacturers of rife frequency devices, because
after the 1940s, the FDA quashed this technology. About
a dozen manufacturers in North America are making rifestyle devices. In Europe, there are even more companies
making frequency devices.
Two excellent freestanding plasma light frequency
devices are especially popular in North America: the
PERL, and the P3 units (from different companies).
The PERL is a highly respected frequency device made
by Resonant Light Technology Inc., from Canada. The
18-pound, 13" x 5.5" x 17" machine is equipped with a
APPENDIX C: HEALING WITH ELECTROMEDICINE AND SOUND THERAPIES
leaded silica glass tube filled with 100% argon. When
the noble gas is lit by the transmitted RF energy, the
PERL emits frequencies (up to three signals simultaneously) over a 27 megahertz carrier. Frequency selection
is from .001 Hz to 400,000 Hz. The selectable waveform (square, sine, or sawtooth) has a range of up to
30 feet. The customer can either program frequencies
into the unit or use one of 25 banks of pre-programmed
protocols. The equipment’s management system (manufacturing quality and customer support) has received
an international standard of certification; so should the
company decide to apply for Class II Medical Device
status for the PERL, they will have met all the requirements. Resonant Light Technology Inc. cannot legally
state that the PERL is a therapeutic device for use on
humans in Canada, but the company does suggest other
applications: therapeutic use with animals, extending
the life of food in clinically controlled food storage
lockers, slowing the growth of mold and fungi in greenhouses, and reducing the parasitic count within fruit
orchards. Energizing the body is an obvious application
as well.
Pulsed Technologies, which has offices in both the
United States and Romania, makes several different
devices. The frequency outputs of this company’s units
range from .01 Hz to an impressive 1,000,000 Hz
(1 megahertz). The Precision Pulsed Plasma system (P3)
is a non-contact, radiant device that operates on principles that do not require RF. The P3 is driven by the
Precision Function Generator (PFG), into which the
user programs frequencies and various waveform shapes.
Both PFG models may also be used separately from the
plasma unit as contact (electrode) devices. The computer software, included with the machines, contains
modules suitable for laboratory, professional, group, or
individual use. Thus, many practitioners and researchers as
well as lay customers use this equipment. The company’s
emphasis on research—Pulsed Technologies sponsors the
Eastern Europe-based professional Research and Resource
Exchange Network—has been particularly welcome in
Europe, where doctors have seen great improvements in
the subjects enrolled there in clinical trials. Applications
of a Pulsed Technologies unit are similar to those of the
PERL. The uses for a freestanding plasma light unit are
limited only by the imagination of the user.
Although Rife’s technology appeals to holistically oriented health practitioners, it is simple enough to be utilized
by the layperson as well. The largest market in the United
States consists of people who want to improve their own
health, as well as the health of their family, friends, pets,
and farm animals.
675
In Rife’s era, it was proven that his frequency devices
disabled microbes that made humans and animals sick.
But we now know that selected frequencies can regenerate
tissue. Some of the frequencies that Rife used may have
done both.
ELECTRICAL CURRENT
Frequency Specific Microcurrent
Most people are familiar with the ubiquitous TENS unit,
which uses electrical current for pain control. For this
treatment, specific frequencies (generally ranging from
40 Hz to 150 Hz) are applied to the body through electrodes. But consider the mechanism by which TENS
suppresses pain: it stimulates A-beta suppressing fibers
and overwhelms the C-pain fibers in the body. The effects
are similar to that of continually rubbing a painful spot:
after a while, the pain lessens because the area becomes
numb. However, from a holistic perspective, this is not
the best way to manage pain, since the TENS unit relieves
pain not through body awareness (which allows the system
to self-correct), but through lack of awareness (which may
not allow for self-correction). This is why the effects of
TENS treatments are often temporary.
Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) treats nerve,
muscle, and fascia pain by using a wider range of frequencies (from 3 Hz to 970 Hz) to favorably alter tissue and
restore health, using minute amounts of micro-amperage
current. A TENS unit has an output of up to 100 milliamps, which can overwhelm the body with current that is
easily felt. In contrast, the output of FSM is in microamps
(millionths of an amp), which is not readily perceived
by the body even though its effects are. (An ampere is
a measure of the movement of electrons or current.)
Significantly, the output of FSM imitates the output produced naturally by the body within each cell. The amount
of FSM current is not strong enough to stimulate sensory
nerves, so the treatment usually cannot be felt and is painless, as well as safe, non-invasive, and effective.
Microcurrent can often eliminate pain entirely because
instead of simply masking symptoms, it helps to restore
cell function. A TENS unit decreases cell energy (ATP
production) by about 50%, decreases cell membrane
transport by up to 40%, and decreases protein synthesis
by 50%. However, since Microcurrent uses less than 500
microamps, cell energy (ATP production) increases (rat
studies show by 500%), as does amino acid transport into
the cell. This aids in waste product removal, and protein
synthesis. Preliminary studies also suggest that FSM helps
insulin bind with the appropriate receptor sites on the
676 THE RIFE HANDBOOK
cell membrane and that it activates fibroblasts, connective tissue cells that secrete collagen and other beneficial
substances around living cells.
Microcurrent was used in the early 1900s by physicians
and osteopaths in the form of an electromedical device that
delivered DC wall current. In 1987, the device used for FSM
was developed by an engineer named Glen Smith. Eight
years later, chiropractors Carolyn McMakin and George
Douglas discovered some frequencies used in a 1920s electromedical device and began applying them in their practice.
There are several size units, ranging from the largest
(18" x 9.5" x 6.5") to the “home care” portable unit that’s
about the size of a portable Walkman and is operated
by one 9-volt battery. All come with various electrode
attachments. Although the use of frequencies is not regulated (so is neither approved nor disallowed by the FDA),
the devices that provide the current—the Precision
Microcurrent machine and the FSM Auto Care and
Sports Care unit—are permitted by the FDA to be used
in a medical setting, and by prescription. The FDA has
approved all microcurrent devices for sale in the category
of TENS devices, even though TENS devices all deliver
milli-amperage current rather than the much smaller
(and biocompatible) levels of micro-amperage current.
Candidates for this therapy have arthritis, chronic
low back pain, fibromyalgia (especially associated with
neck injury), diabetes-related and other neuropathic
pains, and myofascial pain (from trigger points in the
head, neck, face, and lower back). People with asthma,
liver dysfunction, kidney stones, shingles, endometriosis, and irritable bowel syndrome also benefit,
although Dr. McMakin reports, “Most cases of post
herpetic neuralgia improve with five to six treatments
but require the frequencies for scar tissue and inflammation in the nerves damaged by the virus.”10 Many
practitioners know how difficult it can be to manage,
let alone cure, fibromyalgia. However, those diagnosed
with fibromyalgia and treated with FSM no longer meet
the diagnostic criteria for fibromyalgia as set by the
American College of Rheumatology.
Injuries from accidents or surgeries, especially if treated
within four hours, are found to yield reduced pain and
greatly accelerated healing. Symptom relief includes
reduced inflammation, increased range of motion,
improved visceral organ function, and more manageable emotional states. There are frequencies for over 200
conditions, ranging from inflammation and scar tissue
to hard-to-document conditions such as mineral deposits
and toxicity.
“Body tissues,” says McMakin, “respond to frequencies
through the principles of biological resonance—responding
to the signals like a radio responds to frequencies from
a radio station.”11 Since there is no human or electronic
biofeedback component to this technology (just a needle
on the instrument indicating whether or not the current is
flowing), the practitioner is trained to recognize the most
common pain complaints and to diagnose and treat them.
This therapy must be administered by a health care practitioner; laypersons are not permitted to receive training or
purchase units.
The Tennant Biomodulator®
Another electromedical device that emits small amounts
of current is the hand-held biofeedback unit, the Tennant
Biomodulator ®. The Biomodulator ® has its origins in
the Russian Scenar, acronym for Self-Controlled Energo
Neuro Adaptive Regulator. The Biomodulator’s predecessor was developed by Russian scientists in the 1970s
to address an unexpected problem with their space program: the forced feeding of antibiotics to all cosmonauts,
whether they were ill or well. If one crew member got
sick and took antibiotics, all the crew members would end
up with the drug in their system, since urine was recycled
into the shared drinking water. Creating an electromedical device to treat cosmonauts in space would eliminate
the “need” to administer antibiotics. This device—about
the size of a remote control—was aptly nicknamed the
“Star Trek Device” by the press.
According to Russian clinical studies, the Scenar proved
effective in 80% of all cases. Of those, two-thirds enjoyed
full recovery, and the remainder had significant healing.
Over 50,000 successful outcomes were reported for
circulatory, endocrine, respiratory, gastrointestinal, neurological, muscular, skeletal, and genito-urinary problems.
In 2004, Texas-based Jerry Tennant, MD, developed an
easier-to-use, more effective version of the Russian invention, powered by two AA batteries, called the Tennant
Biomodulator®. Whether it is moved across the body or
resting still on a particular area, its biofeedback feature
operates by sending out a series of precisely modulated
electrical currents to the skin, measuring the body’s
response, and then emitting different signals in response
to the changes recorded by the skin. This therapy is
drug-free, non-invasive, safe, pain-free, and inexpensive
(considering the number of conditions for which it can be
used). In general, subjects not only feel positive effects
after the first session, but the effects are long-lasting.
The Biomodulator ®, equipped with newly discovered
frequencies, also has an assessment mode that allows
the user to determine the approximate voltage of the
cells. The amount of voltage, and whether that voltage is
plus or minus, helps the practitioner or user determine
whether the tissue is mildly or severely inflamed or
APPENDIX C: HEALING WITH ELECTROMEDICINE AND SOUND THERAPIES
mildly or severely degenerated. Based on the readings,
the practitioner then knows which therapy mode to
employ. The device also has a setting for “automatic,”
which is a combined biofeedback and signal input mode.
Dr. Tennant points out that trauma, pain, real or
imagined danger, constant fear, an unbalanced pH, and
food allergies turn on the sympathetic (fight-or-flight)
nervous system and keep it turned on, so the parasympathetic nervous system, which regulates digestion,
sleep, hormone secretion, immune function, and so
on, no longer works properly. Being “sympathetic-on
24 hours a day, seven days a week” creates conditions
of “typical chronic disease and chronic fatigue,” he
says.12 Once the body starts to malfunction, it gets used
to being in a pathological state, a trend that can be difficult to reverse. However, the Biomodulator ® stimulates
the healing process by normalizing the sympathetic
and the parasympathetic nervous systems. People have
reported relief from swelling and inflammation, as
well as faster and more complete healing of wounds,
improvement in circulation and other functions, rapid
pain relief, and easier recovery from infections. The
device is most commonly used for treatment of muscle
pain and injuries, but it is also being clinically studied
for the improvement or complete elimination of symptoms of arthritis, tendonitis, hypertension, hearing
loss, and asthma.
The Biomodulator® works primarily by stimulating the
C-fibers. C-fibers, which comprise 85% of all nerves in
the body, produce healing neuropeptides and other regulatory peptides that, in turn, reestablish the body’s normal
physiology and propel it to heal itself. Since the peptides
last for several hours, the healing process continues after
the treatment is over. “Once we balance the autonomic
system,” writes Tennant, “the gut will start absorbing
nutrients, the endocrine glands will rest and recover, [and]
the immune system will recover.”13
A key to the success of these units is the restoration of
voltage to the cells. A malfunctioning cell cannot metabolize properly. Once the voltage to organs and other bodily
tissues is normalized, cellular toxins can be eliminated and
water imbalances can be corrected.
To treat, the practitioner first asks the subject the location of the pain, discomfort or dysfunction. If there is clear
symptomatology, the practitioner goes to the problem
area. However, the spine and abdomen are also key areas
to address, even though they might not seem to directly
relate to the stated symptoms. Problem areas are perceived
by the practitioner as a difference in the sound emitted by
the device and by a feeling of “stickiness,” a magnetic-like
pull that prevents the unit from easily moving across the
area. The session is over when the “drag” is eliminated and
677
the client relaxes. Often, the skin around the treated area
reddens, due to increased circulation.
The Biomodulator ® comes with optional attachments
that can treat through hair and on smaller skin areas.
The Biomodulator ® is a FDA-cleared Class II device for
symptomatic relief and management of chronic, intractable pain, and adjunctive treatment in the management
of post-surgical and post-traumatic pain. Licensed health
care practitioners can use it in their practice. However,
it’s not necessary to see a professional if you need treatment. Laypersons who want a device for their own use
can obtain a prescription from their physician or from
Dr. Tennant.
OSCILLATING MAGNETIC FIELDS: DR. HENRY
LAI’S MALARIA TREATMENT
Within the last decade, some exciting research emerged
from the University of Washington. Bioengineering professor Henry Lai, along with three colleagues, discovered
a way to eliminate malaria using very weak magnetic
fields. This has enormous significance, since in addition
to symptoms of fever, head and joint aches, and shivering,
malaria often causes seizures and death (if infected blood
cells block the blood vessels leading to the brain). The
World Health Organization estimates that up to 2.7 million people die of malaria every year, one million of whom
are children. In the last two decades, the Plasmodium
parasite that causes malaria has become increasingly resistant to pharmaceuticals, so they are no longer effective in
eradicating the disease.
Dr. Lai’s treatment is simple and elegant: the
Plasmodium parasite becomes weak and dies when exposed
to weak alternating—oscillating—magnetic fields. While
the death throes of Plasmodium may sound similar to what
happens to microbes when exposed to frequencies emitted
by rife-style frequency devices, in this case, the magnetic
field does not emit variable frequencies.
The principle behind Lai’s magnetic device is based on
the parasite’s unique metabolism. After the person is bitten
by the mosquito carrying Plasmodium, the parasite first
penetrates the liver and then re-enters the bloodstream to
feed off the hemoglobin in red blood cells. Plasmodium
eats the globin portion of the hemoglobin molecule,
but it lacks the enzyme needed to break down the ironcontaining heme in the hemoglobin. Since free heme
molecules can cause membrane damage, Plasmodium
protects itself by arranging the heme molecules into long
stacks—like “tiny bar magnets.”14 Lai believes that the
oscillating magnetic field affects the parasite in two possible ways. Either the heme molecules cannot form stacks
678 THE RIFE HANDBOOK
and are free to move in the parasite and cause harm.
Or, the stacks spin as a result of the magnetic field and
mechanically injure the parasite. Both scenarios cause
damage and death to the parasite. Although there is only
a minute amount of iron in a heme stack, it is enough to
be affected by magnetic fields.
Experiments show 33% to 70% fewer parasites in
exposed than unexposed samples. According to Lai, this
indicates a significant slowing of the parasite’s metabolic functions—sufficient to manage the disease. The
researcher says it is unlikely that Plasmodium would
develop a resistance to magnetic fields. Lai also believes
this treatment will not harm the human host: “It’s a very
weak magnetic field, just a little stronger than the Earth’s.
The difference is that it is oscillating.”15 “I think,” he adds,
“it should be safe for short-term (hours) exposure.”16
This modality is in the experimental stage, as there is
still more research to be done.
PULSED ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS:
THE ONDAMED®
Whereas Dr. Lai’s technology utilizes a generalized
weak magnetic field that oscillates, or travels back and
forth, other devices use a pulsed electromagnetic field
that also conveys frequencies. One such device is the
ONDAMED® System, which was developed by German
electronics engineer Rolf Binder. The machine consists
of the base unit (18.5" x 14" x 4"), which weighs about
25 pounds in its heavy-duty case, and various applicators that are placed on the body (spine, abdomen, neck,
foot, etc.) or held. The software includes three operating modules that introduce various frequency patterns,
times and intensities, and one module of 173 preset programs. Frequencies range from 0.1 Hz to 32,000 Hz.
The pulsed magnetic field emitted by the unit covers a
small but focused area.
At the start of the session, the practitioner hangs an
applicator around the client’s neck. Then the practitioner
holds the subject’s wrist while simultaneously scrolling
the machine through a range of rapidly and sequentially
emitted programs. When a frequency is emitted that the
body may need, a sudden change in the radial (circulatory)
pulse occurs. The change in the subject’s pulse can feel like
excitation (jumping or throbbing), or weakening (slower,
less obvious). (This physiological response, known as the
Vascular Autonomic Signal or VAS, was discovered by
medical doctor Paul Nogier in 1966.) Thus, the “biofeedback” aspect of the ONDAMED® is the person’s bodily
response, as perceived by the practitioner, to the unit’s
EM radiation emissions.
The practitioner enters into the machine’s memory
those frequencies that elicit a response. Then the
practitioner scrolls through the frequencies that had been
entered, choosing the top two frequency patterns that
caused the strongest reaction—and which therefore will
have the greatest therapeutic value. The frequencies best
suited to the client at that moment are induced through
the neck applicator (worn by the subject) as the practitioner scans the body with the hand-held applicator,
feeling the person’s pulse for the strongest response.
The body area causing the strongest response is the site
of application.
Not everyone’s pulse completely normalizes for the
duration of treatment; Binder says that the client undergoes a period of integration. The next time the client is
tested, other areas (and other frequency patterns) may
prove more useful. During therapy, not more than two
frequencies are administered at one time to ensure that
the communication pathways in the body are clear.
While the company is not allowed to make medical
claims for the device, the biofeedback has worked well
for pain management, stress relief, detoxification (waste
elimination and nutrient absorption), reduction of addictive patterns (such as smoking), and weight management.
People suffering from allergies, arthritis, inflammation,
lymphatic and hormonal problems, infections, and pain
report that their symptoms subside or are completely
eliminated through use of the device. The ONDAMED® is
rapidly becoming very popular with smokers to stop nicotine addiction, as it shows a 95% effectiveness rate, with an
average of one to three sessions to achieve results. Those
with other health conditions generally notice improvement
in five sessions, although some people require more. The
range is generally one to 20 sessions.
One can only speculate at this time as to how it works.
To this end, medical doctor Wolf-Dieter Kessler recounts
discussions about ONDAMED® with physics professor
J.B. Sharma:
Each organ has specific natural frequencies
corresponding to its healthy state, to which it
resonates if driven by an appropriate external
frequency. . . . One way to visualize the underlying mechanism of ONDAMED® is to look at
the body and its constituent parts as oscillators.
In a healthy body, the ensemble of the oscillators “vibrate” in harmony with each other.
. . . Under this model, disease may then be
understood as a departure from a healthy synchronous vibration. The [diseased] parts of the
body . . . display a lower energy or a chaotic,
asynchronous vibration. The difference between
APPENDIX C: HEALING WITH ELECTROMEDICINE AND SOUND THERAPIES
an optimally functioning state and a diseased
state in the human body is detectable by Nogier’s
pulse feedback method . . . [during which] a
very small shock is created to the cardiovascular system when a specific frequency hits a
diseased site, which then evokes a tempering or
“tuning” of the oscillating components through
resonance. . . . The asynchronously vibrating
components of the diseased body will resonate
harmoniously for a brief moment when hit by the
proper frequency. . . . Further treatment with
the appropriate frequencies would then bring
all components back into synchronous vibration with the tendency to maintain that state of
higher order.17
Continuing what W.D. Kessler states is a hypothesis:
Deviations from the frequencies of healthy tissue indicate
energy blockages that can then lead to health problems.
On the biochemical level, blockage of an area is synonymous with a static field, characterized by accumulated
acids or excess hydrogen ions (H+), which block the
transfer of the magnetic impulses the body needs for the
smooth flow of information. The ONDAMED®’s function may be based, in part, on Maxwell’s finding that
superimposing one magnetic field on another induces the
flow of electrons.
“We don’t want to assume that we know why the
body responds to the ONDAMED ® in the way it does,”
says Binder. “There are physical, emotional, biological,
physiological, and energetic responses. We know there
is lots of information flowing back and forth. But how
the body is processing that information—and why it
changes in response to one stimulus and not another—is
something we cannot answer right now. The body and
its functions are simply too complex. What we do know,
is that the therapy works.” 18
What we can say with certainty, is that the
ONDAMED ® introduces specific electromagnetic
impulses into the body, which in turn “jump start” the
movement of electrons to the organs, glands, muscles,
vessels, bones, nerves, or other tissues that require a more
efficient flow of information.
The ONDAMED® is approved by the Institutional
Review Board as a non-invasive secondary therapeutic
device for the alleviation of pain, discomfort, and general
malaise in the treatment of various disorders. The device
can be used by both physicians and laypeople, although
it’s difficult to use to self-treat. The inventor, though
naturally pleased by the reports of success, is circumspect. “It’s very important to get the body working by
679
itself,” he emphasizes. “You don’t want to get the body
dependent on a drug, or the machine, for that matter.” 19
MONOCHROMATIC VISIBLE LIGHT:
LASER AND LED
To the uneducated general public, the word “laser” evokes
a dangerous beam, usually red, that is used in restricted
industrial and medical situations. But safe laser therapy
has been used by health practitioners all over the world for
almost 30 years. Most of the early research and published
data, which spanned the late 1970s to early 1980s, was
from Russia. Later, as more medical studies and research
papers continued to be published, various medical organizations and government agencies all over the world (including
the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in the
United States) began using this modality as well.
Lasers and LEDs (short for Light Emitting Diodes) can
be made to produce any color wavelength. The emission of the light (whether it’s a red, green, blue, or other
color) is due not to glass, paint, or pigment—it is solely
the wavelength of the light itself that gives the beam its
characteristic color. Since the wavelength is always a
single frequency, the color is known as monochromatic.
Although some types of lasers include mechanisms that
emit heat in the form of invisible infrared radiation, for
this discussion we are interested in lasers (and LEDS) that
utilize single-wavelength (monochromatic), visible light for
phototherapy, in the red spectrum.
Laser and LED therapies differ in some important ways,
but they also share similarities. Both light technologies are
based on the energetic behavior of electrons. Normally,
electrons occupy a fixed place in one or more orbital rings
that sequentially surround the atom’s nucleus. When
they become excited, electrons move faster and jump
to higher orbits. When they relax and return to their
original position, electrons release energy in the form of
light, or photon units. The wavelength of a photon—in
other words, its color—is determined by the amount of
energy released when the electron drops to a lower orbit.
It is this emitted light that is harnessed in visible light laser
and LED technology.
Although light lasers and LEDs occupy a certain range
of frequencies (frequency band) in the EM spectrum,
the frequency being used is almost always identified by
the length of the wave, rather than the actual frequency
itself as described in hertz. In the band of visible light,
wavelengths are measured in nanometers (nm). One nanometer, the length of one complete wave, is one billionth of
a meter and roughly about the size of a human cell.
680 THE RIFE HANDBOOK
The lasers and LEDs that emit a red color range
from about 630 nm to 670 nm. Some clinicians prefer
a 660-nm wavelength, asserting that this length wave is
overall easiest for the tissues to absorb. Others prefer a
ruby red 630- or 635-nm wave, based on research published in the Journal of Clinical Laser Medicine & Surgery
stating that a 630-nm wavelength appears “to be most
commonly associated with bacterial inhibition. The findings of this study might be useful as a basis for selecting
LLLT [low level laser therapy] for infected wounds.” 20 In
this case, “bacterial inhibition” consists of the retardation of the growth and functioning of pathogens. ”What
is good for the body is usually bad for pathogens,” says
chiropractor and laser therapist Gerry (pronounced
“Gary”) Graham. “For example, the right pH for the
body is the wrong pH for pathogens. Similarly, 635 nm is
the worst wavelength for most pathogens but is beneficial
for human tissue.” 21
Regardless of the specific favored wavelength,
researchers and practitioners who use red light find that
it works on the principle of bio-modulation —turning a
cell’s function on or off through physiological means.
Monochromatic red light stimulates blood circulation,
increases lymphatic drainage, and promotes cell metabolism by stimulating photoreceptors in the mitochondria
living within the cell. (Mitochondria are tiny living organelles with their own DNA and reproduction cycles, which
live in symbiotic harmony with the cell, and control many
important cellular processes including energy production.) Except on the eyes in the case of a laser (explained
in a moment), the light can be applied to every part of
the body: skin, soft tissue, muscle, bone, brain, organs,
lymphatic fluid, glands, and blood. Used over an artery,
the light can improve the condition of immune cells—
leukocytes, T-cells, and B-cells within the bloodstream—
so they can more efficiently disable pathogens.
Dr. Tiina Karu, professor of Laser Biology and Medicine
in Russia, is reported to have discovered the following:
There are photoreceptors at the molecularcellular level which, when triggered, activate a
number of biological reactions: DNA/RNA synthesis, increased cAMP levels [cyclic adenosine
monophosphate, a molecule involved in many biological processes], protein and collagen synthesis,
and cellular proliferation. The result is rapid
regeneration, normalization, and healing of damaged cellular tissue. In essence, light is a trigger
for the rearrangement of cellular metabolism.22
Single-wavelength light maintains its integrity while
radiating. Its ability to travel along the meridians of the
body without being dispersed into the surrounding tissues
makes it useful for Chinese medicine treatments. A phototherapy device can be built to house a single light or many,
but only one wavelength at a time should be shone on the
body. Only monochromatic light affects the photoreceptors. If different wavelengths are simultaneously applied to
the tissue, the cell receives conflicting signals and cannot
respond properly.
LEDs and lasers can also be pulsed so that for a duration
of time at regular intervals, the beam is on, off, on, off,
etc. Pulsing the light stimulates healing. A continuous,
steady emission (no pulse) sedates pain.
LazrPulsr® 4X LLLT Laser
Laser is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated
Emission of Radiation. To produce light, a laser diode can
contain argon, helium, neon, or krypton.
The monochromatic light emitted by the lasers under
discussion is coherent. This means, from a physics standpoint, that all the peaks and valleys of the waves line up.
The waves are high at the same time, and low at the same
time (Figure 9). In practical terms, this means that the
light is directional and focused—or collimated—instead of
scattered. This optical arrangement provides the intensity
and precision of the beam and is probably the most expensive component of a laser diode assembly.
Figure 9: Coherent Waves (In Phase with Each Other),
an Alignment Found in Lasers
Not all lasers utilizing red light have the same effects.
Most people are familiar with the high-intensity, highpower “hard” lasers that are used by industry (to cut
through steel and other metals) or by doctors (used
during surgery to make clean cuts into the body, cauterize
wounds, and remove unwanted tissue). These high-intensity lasers are legally restricted devices because of the
damage they can cause and are not the most therapeutic.
Genuine low-intensity, low-power lasers—also called
“soft” or “cold” lasers—emit far less power than their
restricted high-intensity counterparts. Their use for
healing is also known as Low-Intensity Laser Therapy
APPENDIX C: HEALING WITH ELECTROMEDICINE AND SOUND THERAPIES
(LILT) or Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT). The legal
standard for what constitutes a low level laser can be
confusing, however, because in some countries, a device
legally classified as a LLL has enough power to heat tissue.
Some laser therapists maintain that devices affecting cells
through bio-modulation should not be categorized with
devices that heat tissue. Australian laser experts Kerry
Tume and Sean Tume suggest the following standard:
“the energy output is low enough so that the treated tissue
does not rise above . . . normal body temperature.” 23
Similarly, Dr. Graham allows “up to only a 0.1 degree
Fahrenheit increase in temperature, because otherwise
it is a hot laser with different, and less desirable, effects.”
Here is an instance, Graham points out, where “less can
be more. Most people still fall for the idea that if 10 mW
[milliwatts] will do a job in ten minutes, then 100 mW
will do the same job in one minute, and 1000 mW will
do the same job in one-tenth of a minute. But this isn’t
true. The majority of lasers used for meridian therapy use
[excessively high-powered, tissue-heating] infrared lasers.
With these instruments, you can damage the meridians
and over-stimulate tissues.” 24
With these parameters in mind, Graham developed the
rechargeable hand-held LazrPulsr® 4X. His device emits a
635-nm beam, which as stated earlier is reported as antimicrobial. The LazrPulsr ® 4X contains ten channels that
can be programmed by the user, in addition to over 40
channels that emit pulses consistently shown to restore
different tissues and bodily functions.
Pulse refers to the number of times the beam of light is
turned on and off in one second. The pulse rates can be as
low as one, or as high as 1,000,000, in which the light is
being turned on one million times and then turned off one
million times each second. “Even though the eye cannot
detect movement above 45 Hz or so,” Graham explains,
“the body’s tissue can clearly detect and recognize these
pulse rates in the tens of billions per second.” 25 Numbers
commonly used as rife technology frequencies are often
applied as laser pulse rates, and the effects are similar.
One success story of many that Dr. Graham recounts
involves a man whose ability to climb stairs improved
dramatically (assessed with a radial pulse test) after laser
treatment because the oxygen-carrying capacity of the
hemoglobin increased by 400%. The Tumes agree with
Graham that laser therapy works on all manner of conditions. These include injuries to ligaments, tendons,
nerves, and other tissue; skin conditions; bone problems
(such as osteoarthritis); first, second, and third degree
burns; dental problems; infections including herpes; and,
of course, chronic pain.
The laser beam can be applied without risk to almost
any part of the body (including trigger points and fascia).
681
However, due to the precision of the beam, care must be
taken to avoid shining the device directly into the eyes or
even on the closed eyelid, because this can cause tissue
damage and even blindness. “It would take several seconds of continuous direct exposure, shining directly into
the eye, to cause significant permanent damage,” Graham
points out. “This is virtually impossible for any adult to
do accidentally.” 26 The FDA, which has classified the
LazrPulsr® 4X as a IIIa device, has not determined that
the device causes significant risk to the eye, so protective
eyewear is not required.
Safety features for the LazrPulsr® 4X include a laser
cover to protect the user from accidentally shining the
unit into the eyes, and a low enough power density (five
milliwatts) to ensure additional protection. There is also a
digital lock that ensures against accidental use by children
and inexperienced users. Finally, the unit is designed so
that the user can program and operate it with one hand,
while maintaining control of the direction of illumination
with the other.
Dr. Graham’s LazrPulsr ® is available for sale by prescription only. With a little practice and training, it can be
employed safely and effectively for healing by practitioners
and knowledgeable laypersons.
LED Devices from Light Energy Company
LED is an acronym for Light Emitting Diode. It is sometimes
erroneously called a soft laser or laser, but it is not—the
monochromatic light emitted by LEDs is incoherent. This
means, from a physics standpoint, that the waves are
emitted at random intervals because the peaks and valleys
of the waves do not line up (Figure 10). In practical terms,
this means that the light is multi-directional and diffuse, not
directional and focused (collimated).
The lack of beam coherence and precision makes LED
therapy safe enough to be used even by children—and
difficult to abuse. The advantage of LEDs over lasers is
their ability to be used directly on the eyelid to regenerate injured eye tissue. Also, an LED array is much less
Figure 10: Incoherent Wave (Out of Phase with Each
Other), an Alignment Found in LEDs
682 THE RIFE HANDBOOK
expensive than a soft laser. It too has widespread applications. “In Israel,” report Cocilovo and Rosen, “medical
doctors utilize incoherent light transmitted by light emitting diodes (LEDs) in the practice of neurology, dentistry,
dermatology, physiotherapy, and in cosmetic applications
to promote collagen and elastin formation.” 27
Although LEDs are fairly common and easy to obtain,
some unique products were developed by Dave Olszewski
of Light Energy Company. He has some very powerful
multiple-diode LED products that, due to the pattern and
spacing of the lights, have enhanced effects because the
penetration is deeper than what would be achieved with
a single light. The 17-LED Light Disc, a plastic 8" x 5"
paddle with detachable 12-inch handle, has a penetration
range of 8 inches, from up to 15 inches away, and the
beam can travel through clothes. (An attachable handle
allows easy application of the light on hard-to-reach areas
of the body such as feet, ankles, and back.) The 23-LED
Light Pad, which is like a stiff, flexible, wide belt with tiestrings, can be strapped onto the body or draped during
sleep. Penetration ranges from 8 inches to 15 inches, and
this beam can also travel through clothes.
Other items include the 3-LED Tri-Light, which is
safe to be used for skin conditions, cosmetic facial treatments (such as wrinkle removal), or even eye injuries.
This device can run either on a 9-volt battery or an AC/
DC adapter, is about the size of a Sony Walkman®, and
has a penetration range of two inches. The simplest
device is the single-diode Light Shaker that runs on a
9-volt battery.
Until the 1980s, low-level lasers were used almost
exclusively for phototherapy because researchers
thought that the light needed to be coherent, and prior
promising research with incoherent light was nearly forgotten. Subsequently, some clinicians determined that
coherency did not make a huge difference. “Dr. Karu,”
write Cocilovo and Rosen, “contends that coherent light
is not necessary, that incoherent light is equally effective
at producing clinical results. Furthermore, she found
that coherent light is converted to incoherent light in
the body. The exact effect depends on the wavelength,
dose, and intensity.” 28 There is a question as to whether
these conclusions were based on in vitro or in vivo
research; the effects of light can be different in a culture
than a living body. Nevertheless, enough users report
benefits with LEDs to warrant its further investigation
as a serious therapy. There is one anecdotal report that
cannot be contested: This author successfully treated a
scratch on the cornea with the Light Shaker after a piece
of plastic fell into her eye. After one hour of holding
the light onto the closed, tearing eyelid, the pain and
tearing were gone, vision was unaffected, and no more
problems occurred.
LED Devices from Good Energy Products
Two very interesting portable LED devices from Good
Energy Products use incoherent light, but for a secondary function: they are carriers of frequencies that
are imprinted in water. Slightly larger than a fountain
pen and smaller than a flashlight, both the Chi Pen® and
the Advanced Chi Stimulator® contain water cartridges
through which the light shines. When applied to the
body, the energy produces different results, depending on
what frequencies have been programmed into the fluid.
The frequencies in both devices are geared more to
balancing the body than they are to microbe destruction: most of the energy in the water is from either
homeopathic remedies, or frequencies that researchers
have established are emitted by healthy tissue. The
inventor, Bill Wolfe—a naturopath as well as dentist—
has seen major positive changes occur with his clients
who use the devices.
The simpler piece of equipment, the 5½-inch Chi
Pen®, operates on two AAA batteries. Embedded in
the casing is a vial of water that has been imprinted
with the frequencies emitted by healthy organs, glands
and bodily tissues. A 625-nm red light (at 900 milliwatts power) passes through the water to the tip of the
penlight, carrying regenerative frequencies designed
to restore and balance the body’s energy meridians.
Although “balancing meridians” is a broad term, the
implications are profound, as blockages in the meridians
can cause unlimited symptoms and conditions, ranging
from inflammation and pain to organ and gland malfunction. This easy-to-use instrument is intended for
people to use at home for self treatment.
The 10½-inch-long Advanced Chi Stimulator ®,
which operates on two AA batteries, contains three
light emitters. These lights are in the infrared spectrum (950 nm at 450 mW power), which promotes
deeper penetration into the tissue than does visible
light. (When the instrument is turned on, it emits
a blue color so the user can direct the wave to the
targeted area, and avoid shining the invisible IR light
into the eyes.) A major advantage of the Advanced Chi
Stimulator ® is that instead of a permanent cartridge in
the casing that contains only one program, this unit is
equipped with eleven interchangeable, programmed,
water-filled lenses. These discs are screwed onto the
tip of the device, allowing the user to select from a
range of frequency formulas—not only Chi Energy,
but also Detox, Infection, Inflammation, Lymphatic,
APPENDIX C: HEALING WITH ELECTROMEDICINE AND SOUND THERAPIES
Root Canal, Sinus, Stimulation, Toothache, Trauma,
and Relaxation.
The LEDs from Good Energy Products are specifically designed to stimulate acupuncture and muscle
trigger points, and to assist with pain management,
skin conditions, wound healing and dental problems.
The devices don’t have to be used over long periods, as
results are rapidly seen. To stimulate points, the user is
instructed to place the laser against the skin for about
one minute per point. For local pain and swelling, the
laser is placed for 3 minutes on the area with the most
intense symptoms, and then for a minute each on spots
surrounding the main area. For skin conditions such as
acne, burns, insect bites and cold sores, two or three
times a day the light is held about ¼ inch above the
target area and moved very slowly back and forth for a
few minutes.
Dental pain management is one of Dr. Wolfe’s specialties. For 3 minutes, the user places the light against
the skin over the most painful region. Less painful areas
are treated for only a minute each. For gum conditions,
Wolfe advises, pull the lip back and hold the light for
3 minutes about ¼ inch from the target area. Although
Wolfe recommends doing this two to three times a day,
often relief can be felt immediately. If the subject experiences pain directly after applying the frequencies, this is
a good sign: it signifies a desirable improvement in blood
flow and increased waste removal. Relief is usually felt
the next day. To help minimize post-operative discomfort and pain, Dr. Wolfe tells his clients to use the LEDs
about a half hour before the dental work. The laser will
not numb the area, but help with healing afterward.
These instruments can be used for animals as well as
humans. Dr. Wolfe explains that photonic light accelerates healing partly due to its stimulation of endorphins,
critical in pain management. He emphasizes that his
instruments do not replace proper medical or dental
treatment.
In addition to lasers and LEDs (which come with a
generous warranty), Dr. Wolfe has produced an impressive line of highly effective, frequency-infused dental
products and skin creams, including toothpaste, mouthwash, and anti-aging and analgesic preparations. There
are also MSM supplement crystals infused with neurotransmitter frequencies for mental clarity, to be taken
during the day, and frequencies to help with sleep, to
be taken before bedtime.
Although the personal care products are made with
natural (not synthetic) ingredients, Wolfe feels that the
benefits from the botanicals, herbs, essential oils, and
other materials are secondary compared to their main
purpose: as carriers of frequencies into the body. For
683
those disinclined to use high-tech devices, the skin and
dental health products are a wonderful way to administer frequency healing. And those who are comfortable
with, and employ, electromedical devices, find that
these personal care products augment the effects of
whatever else they’re using.
FAR INFRARED HEAT THERAPY
Heat therapy is thousands of years old. Whether the heat
source was a dry sauna, steam bath, or hot water bath,
the ancients understood that when people perspire, they
feel better. We know today that sweating is one of the
body’s chief methods of eliminating waste, whether exogenous (from outside the body) or endogenous (from inside
the body). Poisonous chemicals, heavy metals, and metabolic wastes are routinely trapped by the body’s tissues,
especially the fat cells—which encapsulate the toxins to
protect the bloodstream. These toxins not only exacerbate
illness; in many instances, they cause illness.
The chemical load we carry was dramatically illustrated during a Spring 2001 Public Broadcasting System
(PBS) special about the chemical industry’s suppression
of evidence that their own products cause cancer. When
newsman Bill Moyers had his blood drawn and analyzed,
his blood sample contained over eighty common industrial chemicals, including alcohols, solvents, pesticides,
petroleum-based synthetics, PCBs, and Persistent Organic
Pollutants (POPs). Given this eclectic and horrifying
sample, it’s easy to see why so many people today are ill.
During sweating, the fatty tissue vibrates faster,
dumping its toxic load into the interstitial fluid (outside
and between the cells). These interstitial wastes—which
normally would have to be processed by the lymph system,
urinary tract, and/or liver—are released through the
pores of the skin. This lightens the elimination burden of
these other systems, giving them a chance to rest.
Sweating does more than eliminate toxins. It raises
the pH of some portions of the body to a more alkaline
state because chemical wastes and the products of cell
metabolism are generally acidic. Although sweat therapy
is not identical to having a fever, there are similarities
between the two. When infected, the body produces a
fever to “cook” microbes, most of which cannot survive in
temperatures of over 103°F or 104°F (39.4°C or 40°C).
Sauna therapy can also make it too hot for microbes to
survive if the core temperature is raised enough. During
fever, more endorphins (natural pain killers) are produced
by the body. This, too, occurs during sauna therapy, which
accounts for its pain-relieving benefits. During fever, the
body produces more enzymes, which the white blood
684 THE RIFE HANDBOOK
cells need to destroy pathogens. This occurs during sauna
therapy as well. In a sauna, the heating of the body alone
helps to relax the nerves and tissue fibers.
Modern scientists have discovered that the source of
heat used to make us sweat can make a difference between
highly effective and less satisfactory detoxification.
Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, famous for creating breakfast
cereal, is less known for having invented the electric
light bath that preceded today’s far infrared (FIR) sauna
cabinet. Even less publicized are the sophisticated tests
he conducted in the early part of the twentieth century.
Using devices he invented, Kellogg measured the toxins
in the urine and sweat of healthy volunteers who took
Russian baths, Turkish baths, and sessions in the doctor’s
own electric light cabinets. The light bath encouraged the
release of more toxins than did the steam cabinets. And
the test subjects also became hotter, faster, because the
heat waves from the light bulbs in Dr. Kellogg’s sauna were
in a particular far infrared range. Far infrared contains
among the most beneficial EM frequencies that the body
requires for growth, repair, and health.
The amount of FIR emitted by a body or object is part
of its electromagnetic signature. The movements of atoms
and their constituent particles—as well as the movements
of the chemical bonds between molecules—change direction, rotation, and orbit, depending on their frequency.
These changes also correspond to alterations in the electrical and magnetic fields that they emit.
Far infrared wavelengths range from about 5.6 to 1000
microns. For healing purposes, we are interested in only
a tiny portion of the FIR spectrum that ranges from
about 5.6 microns to 9 microns in length, radiating heat
from, respectively, about 470°F to 120°F (243.3°C to
48.9°C). (The shorter wavelengths are hotter.) A heat
source that emits a particular, narrow band of FIR is the
most effective for sauna therapy. Not surprisingly, a wavelength of about 9.35 microns corresponds to a temperature
of 98.6°F (37°C).
Water molecules are very efficient absorbers and emitters of far infrared radiation that’s about 9 microns in
length. This wavelength also causes water clusters to
become smaller, more motile, and more easily absorbed
into the tissues. Put another way, water intrinsically resonates within these particular wavelengths. Whereas other
EM spectrum wavelengths (such as the much longer radio
waves) pass through water, a 9.4 micron far infrared wavelength will be absorbed by the water itself and cause its
temperature to rise. People’s ability to absorb and emit
FIR is related to the ability of water to absorb and emit
FIR. The human body is comprised of nearly 70% water,
which helps to explain why people respond in such a positive way to FIR.
For the vast majority of people, FIR is the most effective
means of inducing a sweat. There are many FIR saunas
on the market today. One sauna cabinet manufacturer,
Saunex™, not only uses heaters that selectively emit only
the most beneficial FIR wavelengths, the company also has
almost completely eliminated the harmful EM field that
normally accompanies electrical wiring.
SOUND
Although electromedicine is the name of a class of various
therapeutic devices that utilize selected EM frequencies,
during the educational seminars I give on rife therapy
and electromedicine, people often ask me if tones can be
substituted therapeutically for various EM frequencies.
The answer is “Yes, under certain conditions.”
Sound is commonly defined as existing only if there is
a medium (such as air and water) to carry the vibrations,
as sound cannot be heard in a vacuum. But all frequencies
in the electromagnetic spectrum—whether in the form of
visible light, radio waves, gamma waves, etc.—have a corresponding sound or tone, even if it does not transmit through
air or water and even if we are not capable of hearing it.
(This is probably the origin of the phrase, “music of the
spheres.”) Since sound and EM radiation are mathematically related, theoretically, all electromagnetic waves can
be translated into audible sound, and the two modalities
might be interchangeable for healing purposes.
Sound and music therapies (as with heat therapies) have
existed for centuries. But in the last several decades, sound
healing has enjoyed a renaissance. Tuning forks, crystal
and metal bowls, classical music from certain composers,
and sounds from nature (cricket and bird songs, waterfalls)
have become popular for soothing the soul and emotions,
if not outright physical healing.
The scientific precision of our modern age demands a
different focus. We already know that every organ, gland,
and tissue in the body emits EM radiation, and that this
radiation corresponds to tones. New systems are based
on this knowledge. For instance, biologist David Deamer
decoded and translated some of the vibrational frequencies
from select portions of DNA into audible tones, and musician Susan Alexjander later added voice and instruments to
these tones on a CD. Also, scientists are using acoustically
translated DNA in a number of novel experiments (the
tones emitted by live and dying yeast cells occupy many
Internet websites). However, a unique use of sound, called
VoiceBio™©, was first developed in 1995 by naturopath
Kae Thompson-Liu.
VoiceBio™© is a non-invasive way of analyzing the
function of organs, glands, and various body systems,
APPENDIX C: HEALING WITH ELECTROMEDICINE AND SOUND THERAPIES
based on the tones (EM radiation) they emit. If we
could hear the symphony expressed by a living body, we
would hear the liver vibrating to the note of G, the heart
vibrating to the note of A#, and so on. Thompson-Liu
discovered that the body’s frequencies are reflected in
the voice, no matter which octave the person uses when
speaking or singing.
In an ideal world, each of the 12 notes of a scale would
be represented on a graph of the voice (called a voiceprint). But due to poor diet, trauma, injury, infection,
chemical poisoning, faulty genetics, or a combination
of these conditions, most voiceprints show unequally
represented notes that have huge variations beyond the
normal, expected, uneven “bell curve.” The notes can all
be present (thus falling within the range of good health)
or be overemphasized, weak, or missing entirely from
the voice (thus falling within the range of compromised
health). Assessing the heavy, normal, and weak areas of a
voiceprint can help pinpoint which body parts or systems
are off-balance.
For the VoiceBio™© assessment, the client records
a voice sample into a sensitive microphone connected
to a small Walkman-size piece of proprietary equipment called VIBE (an acronym for Visual Image of Body
Energy). Then VIBE sorts, translates, and graphs the
tones (ignoring word content) onto a voiceprint that
quantifies the frequencies. The graph is displayed on
a computer screen connected to the VIBE. VIBE was
developed because Thompson-Liu found that the sound
cards in computers are unreliable, sometimes varying as
much as two tones in accuracy. The actual voice sampling
takes five minutes or less.
There are several ways to supply the body with the
balancing frequencies. The client can listen, through
stereo headphones, to a palm-size tone box (called a “sonic
balancer”) encoded with personalized sound formulas.
Derived by Thompson-Liu using complex mathematical
computations, the sound formulas are different for every
person—even those who need the same notes—since
they are based on how the client’s brain is fundamentally
organized. Although the VoiceBio™© sound formulas are
subjectively experienced by the conscious ear more as
white noise than patterned pitches, the effects are like
healing music rather than disorganized noise, in part
because the notes are in the very low range of human
hearing. Most important, the tone boxes can be programmed so that the brain learns to produce the weak
or missing notes on its own. This brings VoiceBio™©
therapy into the realm of holistic self-regulation, rather
than allopathic substitution. The client can also listen
to the missing notes as either straight musical tones or
music in that key. In the case of overemphasized notes,
685
the VoiceBio™© practitioner suggests detoxification and
cleansing of the corresponding organs and systems.
The most powerful effect of all, however, occurs when
the clients themselves generate the needed tones by singing
or humming. (It also makes the therapy cost-effective
for the client.) One might think that a highly depleted or
stressed individual cannot muster enough energy to hum,
and that the very ill need a “jump-start” from an external
source, such as the sonic balancer. However, the reality
is “quite the opposite,” Dr. Thompson-Liu states. “The
very ill see the fastest results by even humming the note
for just a brief period a day. I have never found a client
who could not hum something. Trials conducted in the
past year in four states show that having the clients do it
themselves is more effective than the sonic balancers by
over 200 percent.” 29
Usually, after a month, the client is retested to see if the
same formula is needed, if a different formula is needed,
or if the client needs to continue at all. Although results
to sound therapy can be felt within days or even hours, the
listening or humming continues over a period of weeks
and even months, depending on the severity of the condition and the person’s ability to respond.
Thompson-Liu’s discovery that all notes correspond to
specific nutrients and drugs (as well as body parts and systems) brings another level of specificity to VoiceBio™©. A
voiceprint helps the practitioner pinpoint which nutrients
are most needed by the client. (The nutrients may have an
obvious relationship to the organs or glands whose notes
they share; but sometimes they do not. Nevertheless, the
system works.) Thus, nutritional support in the form of
vitamin, mineral and herbal supplementation is integrated
with the VoiceBio™© therapy.
The voiceprint can also show which pharmaceuticals
might be useful. If the client is taking a drug whose frequency matches a note that is already too high, continuing
to take the drug can further stress the note. However, the
voiceprint can help determine the drug that may be better
suited to the client, if there is another drug that produces
the same (desired) effect but resonates in a note that’s too
low (or at least not as high).
It is important to emphasize that there are many
nutrients that resonate in any given note (C, C#, D,
etc.), because each note has a range of cycles per second.
(Historically, what precisely constituted middle C and
the rest of the scale depended on the country and era.)
However, the frequency of each nutrient is extremely
precise, which is why any transmission device must be
accurate to the second decimal point. Thompson-Liu
devoted many years of research (and expensive laboratory tests) to find the frequencies of nutrients (vitamins,
minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, etc.) as well as toxins
686 THE RIFE HANDBOOK
and drugs. Some sound treatment systems have posted
nutrient frequencies on the Internet that are incorrect,
because they compute frequency based on the molecular
weight of the elements that comprise the nutrients, rather
than on the wavelengths themselves. (Weight measures
how heavy something is, and has nothing to do with
oscillation or frequency.) As with most electromedical
therapies, sound protocols obtain the best results with
the exact frequencies.
Healing with sound will become imperative if global
government restrictions to supplements become more
severe. People could assimilate the frequencies of their
chosen supplements via headphones, or even sound recordings. Since this user-friendly modality does not make
medical claims, it can be implemented by laypeople as well
as health practitioners.
SUMMARY
The body is comprised of EM radiation. It emits EM waves
and responds to EM waves. All biological functions correspond to electromagnetic phenomena. The electromagnetic
energies that exist in living tissue are extremely potent.
When you target a living cell with the precise frequency
that it needs, it will respond favorably, and health can be
restored in an amazingly short period of time.
Electromedicine covers a vast territory of different
energies. The therapies reviewed here—EM radiation,
electrical current, oscillating and pulsed magnetic fields,
visible red light, and FIR (perceived as heat)—are only
a few samples. Other frequency therapies not covered
include radio waves and microwaves on the benign portion of the EM spectrum, and bands of visible light
besides red. Conventional physics does not regard sound
as part of the EM spectrum per se. However, every frequency in the EM spectrum has a corresponding sound,
even if we cannot hear it. Thus, audible sound has an
intricate relationship to EM frequencies and can also be
utilized for healing.
The health restoration effects of correctly applied
energetics cannot be underestimated. As with any
modality, one must be careful when using frequencies,
be they disseminated by electromedical equipment or
sound. However, as those who have benefited from
electromedical therapies can attest, the correct energies,
properly used, can be an integral part of one’s wellness
protocol. Electromedicine and sound are the healing of
the future. Whether you are a health care professional
or a seeker of health, these therapies are well worth
exploring.

APPENDIX D
Selected Published Studies in Electromedicine
Don’t worry about people stealing an idea.
If it’s original, you will have to ram it down their throats.
—HOWARD A IKEN, A MERICAN COMPUTER PIONEER AND PHYSICIST (1900–1973)
There are thousands of articles in medical and scientific
journals on the use of electromagnetic (EM) fields, electric fields, electrical current, static magnetic fields, pulsed
magnetic fields, frequency-induced diathermy (heat), and
more, to treat all kinds of conditions—ranging from bone
fractures and muscle sprains to Parkinson’s and cancer.
Of special significance is the mention of hyperthermia
to treat cancer. During hyperthermia, most of the body
or selected areas are safely subjected to high temperatures.
The cancerous tissue is either killed directly by the high
heat, or it becomes so permeable that only minute amounts
of locally injected chemicals are needed to destroy it (thus
avoiding the chemical poisoning of the entire system). The
clinical use of hyperthermia is not new. The modality was
routinely employed seven thousand years ago in Egypt,
and it has been used by the Western medical comunity for
about 200 years. Yet despite the article “Hyperthermia,
still experimental, may win place in cancer therapy”—
which appeared in a 1981 issue of the Journal of the
American Medical Association —few people with cancer
today are given the option of receiving heat treatments.
Apparently, their doctors are ignorant of its simplicity,
safety and effectiveness.
The articles listed below range from the 1960s to
the present, beginning with the most recent (although
studies on electromedical modalities have been in print
for over a hundred years). In my very small sample, I
include only those journal articles that are peer reviewed
and are (except for one) in English. I also focus on the
therapeutic rather than harmful effects of various EM
fields. For instance, documentation on the dangers of cell
phone radiation was not included, as my purpose here is
to cite articles examining the healing potential of selected
frequency therapies. The majority of authors write about
the practical applications of frequencies to treat disease
conditions that include bone breaks, cancer, neurological
degeneration, and infections. Other authors discuss how
to evaluate or improve the equipment used to disseminate
the therapies, while still others address the effects of different frequencies on specific biological functions, such as
enzyme and immune cell production. In a few instances, I
mention which frequencies were used in the clinical trials.
Worth noting is one 2009 paper, “Amplitudemodulated electromagnetic fields for the treatment of
cancer: Discovery of tumor-specific frequencies and
assessment of a novel therapeutic approach,” which discusses the application of Rife’s technology without using
his name or referring to his research or clinical trials.
The abstract states in part: “Because in vitro studies suggest that low levels of electromagnetic fields may modify
cancer cell growth, we hypothesized that systemic delivery
of a combination of tumor-specific frequencies may have
a therapeutic effect. We undertook this study to identify tumor-specific frequencies and test the feasibility of
administering such frequencies to patients with advanced
cancer. . . . Cancer-related frequencies appear to be
689
690 THE RIFE HANDBOOK
tumor-specific and treatment with tumor-specific frequencies is feasible, well tolerated and may have biological
efficacy in patients with advanced cancer.” The article
also mentions that two of the authors have filed a patent
on the use of electromagnetic fields for the diagnosis and
treatment of cancer—in other words, Rife’s technology!
A note about the article on allergic rhinitis: the successful use of 465 Hz is not surprising, as that frequency
is used to successfully target Candida albicans, and most
sinus infections have been found to be fungal rather than
bacterial in nature.

About The Author
Photo courtesy of Paul Silverfox
Writer, educator, artist and musician, Nenah Sylver has
devoted her life to the exploration of healing on mental,
emotional, physical and spiritual levels. Her early training
in music led to subsequent studies in spirituality and
physics—all complementary paths to her lifelong passion,
the science of frequency.
Starting as a young adult, Nenah worked for two
decades as a singer-songwriter, playing piano and guitar.
She performed in New York City clubs and coffeehouses,
traveled for revues, wrote lyrics and music for two offBroadway plays, and won five songwriting awards. During
that time, Nenah also performed for Hospital Audiences,
Inc., an organization that specializes in bringing music
to adults and children in hospitals, residential treatment
centers and nursing homes.
For fifteen years, Nenah had a private practice in
body-mind psychotherapy based on the principles of physician and natural scientist Wilhelm Reich. In 1996, she
received her PhD from the Union Institute & University in
Transformational Psychology, a multi-disciplinary program
of holistic health, psychology and gender studies. Then, in
what began as a quest for help with her own health issues,
Nenah started researching Royal Rife and his inventions
along with other electromedicine therapies. Her extensive
knowledge of effective and safe holistic protocols eventually coalesced into The Rife Handbook.
Among other publications, Nenah’s writing credits on
psychology, feminism, health and social change include
The New Internationalist, Off Our Backs, Beiträge zum Werk
von Wilhelm Reich (Contributions to the Work of Wilhelm
Reich), and the anthologies Journeys of the Heart: Perspectives
on Intimacy in America (Bruner-Mazel), Glibquips: Funny
Words by Funny Women (Crossing Press), Closer To Home:
Bisexuality and Feminism (Seal Press), An Introduction to
Women’s Studies (Simon & Schuster), Transforming a Rape
Culture (Milkweed Editions), Women, Culture, and Society:
Readings in Women’s Studies (Simon & Schuster), and the
forthcoming anthologies Bullying: Beyond the Schoolyard
(Teatro V!da, 2011) and The Rebirth of Prometheus (Inner
Traditions, 2012). Her volume of poetry, Birthing, was
published in 1996 by Woman in the Moon Publications. She
has been cited in Utne Reader and The New Yorker, and her
artwork was used to illustrate an anthology of short stories,
to which she also contributed narrative.
Perhaps Nenah is best known for her writing in the
health field. In addition to articles in Natural Living
Today and Natural Food & Farming, “Toxic Products,
Deceptive Labels” appeared in Nexus in 2000. Dr. Sylver’s
comprehensive book, The Holistic Handbook of Sauna
Therapy, was published in 2004. In 2008, the two-part
“Healing with Electromedicine and Sound Therapies”
and “Hypothyroidism Type 2: a new way of looking at an
old problem” appeared in Townsend Letter. Excerpts from
The Rife Handbook have been translated into German
and Korean, and the entire book is being translated into
Spanish and German.
The author has appeared on the Pacifica radio station
WBAI-FM and on NBC-TV to discuss lifestyle choices.
Additional radio interviews have featured health, electromedicine, and alternatives to toxic chemicals in the home.
She is also an interviewee in the upcoming feature-length
documentary, “Back From The Edge,” in which leading
figures in the complementary health field discuss solutions
to failed medical care in the US.
Nenah conducts educational seminars on holistic health
and electromedicine, and is a featured speaker at Rife
conferences all over the world. She lives with her lifetime
companion and their dogs.
