Rife Research Royal Raymond Rife was a scientist born in 1888 in Elkhorn, Nebraska USA. From the 1920's through to his death in 1971 he lived and worked in San Diego, California, USA. Rife mainly became famous for two specific inventions (although he had many others). One was a super microscope allegedly capable of resolving objects below the Abbe limit, and with magnification claimed to be as high as 250,000 times. The second invention was an electromagnetic therapy device consisting of some sort of radio transmitter feeding a plasma tube which was claimed to kill specific pathogenic microorganisms at specific frequencies. It was claimed that in 1932 Rife succeeded in isolating a "filter-passing" microorganism (later referred to as a virus) that was the cause of cancer. And in 1934 it was further claimed that Rife succeeded in curing 16 cases of cancer in real patients by targetting this microorganism (which he called "BX") with his ray machine. The Rife technology was dismissed by the American Medical Association as quackery and was suppressed by various organisations and American federal agencies. Even today it is largely outlawed in the United States, and is frowned upon by authorities in some other countries. Despite this, many people have tried to duplicate Rife's work with modern machines. Rife's spectacular claimed successes have never been duplicated but modern researchers have established that machines built along similar lines to Rife's do have some sort of bioactive effect, and that in many cases, people who have used them in cases of serious illness do seem to have experienced improvements in their conditions. Despite the latter, it is too early in my opinion to claim that these machines are fully safe and effective. Not enough proper research has been done into them (mainly due to lack of resources by interested parties) and because there is still active opposition from the medical establishment and various organisations and agencies. At the same time I am personally convinced based on my own experience, that there is some benefit to these devices and that the "Rife Effect" as I have chosen to call it, does exist. As such I am conducting my own research into the issue. Note that I do not specifically recommend any form of electrotherapy and all information on here is for experimental and research purposes only - it is not intended as any form of medical treatment guide. Below is a link to various papers I have written about the Rife Effect. Please take note that some of these are out of date and some will be re-written soon, but I present them here as a matter of interest and as a snapshot of my specific opinions at certain points in time. Please do not take anything in these papers as being factual without checking it out yourself, these are just opinions. I have managed to obtain information about various early Rife and Hoyland / Beam Rays Machines. I can now publicly release some of that information for the first time. The following link is to pages with information about a possible candidate for Rife's original 1931 machine, a 1936 Hoyland machine as used by Milbank Johnson MD, and Dr O.C. Gruner of Canada, and finally a 1937 vintage Hoyland machine. Early Rife Machines (NEW!) UK Rife Research Group managed to gain access to an original 1939 Beam Rays Machine. I reverse engineered that machine and the results of our findings were presented at the International Rife Conference in Las Vegas this year (2002). Below, for the first time we are making information about this machine available to the general public. I will add material periodically as I get time to sort it all out. Click on the link below to see it. Other Early Rife Machines In the course of my on-going research into Rife, I have been given a lot of information by other researchers. Amongst that information is more technical data on early Rife machines. I also have copies of original Rife lab notes that have never been released before, I intend to do so, as soon as practically possible. The sheer amount of data I have at present is far more than the capacity of my web site. I am committed to finding original, quality data about Rife's work and in particular the machines. On this page I publicly present for the first time, information about other early Rife and Hoyland machines.
Original 1931 Rife Ray Machine On this page I will introduce information about two machines which I think are vitally important to Rife research. The first is information on a US Naval Transmitter from the early 1930's of a class known as a "MOPA", which is short for "Master Oscillator Power Amplifier". One of the researchers I work with, Robert Harrison, who is an expert on early radio technology came to the conclusion some time ago that Rife's original machine and the Beam Rays machines were probably examples of MOPA's. This idea was fully confirmed when the British Rife Group managed to obtain an original Beam Rays machine which was indeed a classic MOPA design. Bob Harrison researched his theory further and found information about a particular US Naval Radio Transmitter that appeared to match Rife's description of his original machine extremely well. Bob also found schematics of this device and for the first time I am very pleased to be able to make this data publicly available. Please note that all opinions, errors etc., are mine, but the data itself and the real credit for this work belongs to Bob Harrison. In the absence of any other information I am personally of the opinion that this schematic and machine is very probably the basic schematic of the early 1931 Rife Ray that was used at the Scripps Ranch clinical trial in 1934, and the one that Phillip Hoyland based his later designs upon. The information can be found via the link below:
A 1936 Hoyland Machine A second piece of information also came to light recently. I was aware of a story about an original Rife machine schematic which had something to do with Dr O.C. Gruner of Canada who worked with Rife throughout the 1930's on isolating a fungal form of Rife's cancer microbe 'BX". This latter form was given the name "Cryptomyces Pleomorphia". Dr Milbank Johnson was anxious to find an MOR for this form of cancer as he believed that much better results in cancer cases could be achieved if they could kill Cryptomyces with the Rife Ray. Johnson hassled Rife constantly for 2 or 3 years to find the MOR of Cryptomyces, however no record exists to show if Rife ever did find it, and the apparent difficulty he was having, as evidenced in various letters by Dr Johnson seems to indicate that he never did find it. Milbank Johnson ran several clinics in and around Los Angeles in the late 1930's, giving treatments with the Rife Ray. At first he used the original Rife Ray No 4 machine, but later he used another machine, details of which were not apparent from his letters. It appears it was a prototype machine of some description from around 1936 and built by Phillip Hoyland. Eventually, in an attempt to find the MOR of Cryptomyces, Johnson apparently shipped this machine to Dr O.C. Gruner in Canada, so Gruner himself could try to find the MOR. There is no clear record of what happened after this. I am aware of an anecdote that says that Gruner got scared of offending the Canadian medical establishment and never actually used the machine. It was said that he eventually gave the machine to a friend of his, a priest, who cannibalised the machine for his ham radio hobby. However, there was also a story that somehow Gruner had produced a schematic of this machine and had sent it to John Crane in the early 1950's, but nobody I was aware of had seen this schematic. About 8 months ago my colleague and fellow UK researcher, Stuart Andrew came across an original document which was a confidential report by John Crane, for internal circulation only within the Rife labs. In that report (on page 6) Crane tells the story in more detail. In particular he says: "In 1950, John Crane met Roy Rife. After learning how Rife had cured cancer in the
1930's but had seen his cure suppressed by the AMA, Crane decided to commit his energy,
will and electronic and mechanical knowledge to bringing the cure for cancer to the
public. Dr Gruner of Canada, who worked with Rife in the '30's provided Crane with one of
the original circuit designs for the Rife Ray Tube. Crane also hired Verne Thompson, an
electronics expert with the San Diego police force, to help construct the new Frequency
Instruments. We immediately started attempts to locate this schematic, without any success until purely by luck, Jeff Garff managed to obtain photographs of the original schematic. Jeff sent them to me and I sent copies to Bob Harrison for analysis. With Bob's help I redrew the schematic (as did Bob himself) with a few minor corrections. Crane had redrawn Gruner's papers and made some mistakes in the process (or maybe they were Gruner's mistakes) but in any event they were minor and obvious. Those schematics and associated data are linked below. I would like to extend my thanks to Jeff Garff, Bob Harrison and Stuart Andrew for their help in obtaining this, the credit belongs to them, not me.
A 1937 Hoyland / Beam Rays Machine Below I present a photograph of the inside of an early Hoyland / Beam Rays machine, suspected to be around 1937 vintage. The similarities to the 1939 Beam Ray are obvious. The only major difference appears to be in the oscillator section which confirms my findings about the 1939 machine.
The 1939 Beam Ray Machine
The Beam Ray Corporation produced a number of machines. I'm not sure of the exact number as I have seen varying accounts, but I believe that about 17 machines were produced and shipped to MD's in California. Another two machines were shipped to England to Dr B. Winter Gonin of the London School of Tropical Medicine. There was some argument between Rife and Hoyland over these machines and their operating principle, however various MD's including James Couche used ones of these machines for many successful treatments of patients for many years. The U.K. Rife Research Group managed to get access to one of the machines believed to be one of the originals that were shipped to California in the late 1930's. I reverse engineered that machine and present the results below. I have a lot of data on this machine of which this is only part, I will add things as I get time as much of the data needs to be organised properly. The exact date of the machine is unknown - we know that it was built sometime between the autumn of 1938 and the early part of 1939 - so it may actually be a 1938 machine. I would like to express my thanks to Robert Harrison, an expert valve/tube engineer (I'm not a valve/tube expert) who gave me massive help and support during the reverse engineering process and who corrected numerous silly mistakes that I made! My thanks also to Stuart Andrew and Bob Haining for their help and support in this effort. Report of British Rife group is in PDF format!!! |
