Royal Rife and The Rife Frequencies

Royal Rife

Royal Rife, an American inventor and researcher, claimed to have developed a machine known as the "Rife Machine" or the "Beam Ray machine" in the 1930s. According to Rife's claims, this machine could generate specific frequencies that could destroy harmful microorganisms, including viruses and bacteria, and thereby cure diseases.

Rife and Resonant Frequencies

According to Rife's theories, each microorganism had a resonant frequency at which it could be destroyed. He believed that by using a device emitting electromagnetic frequencies matching the resonant frequency of a particular microorganism, it could be destroyed without harming the surrounding tissues.

The Rife Machine

The Rife machine consisted of a microscope to observe the microorganisms, a frequency generator to produce specific frequencies, and a plasma tube or other electrode to transmit the frequencies to the patient. Rife claimed that by tuning the machine to the resonant frequency of a specific microorganism, the pathogens would be destroyed, leading to the cure of the associated disease.

Royal Rife's List of Frequencies

Rife's claims and the effectiveness of his machine were highly controversial and were not widely accepted by the scientific community. With caveats in mind, Royal Rife's frequency list, also known as the Rife Frequency List or the Rife-Bare Frequency List, is a compilation of specific frequencies that Rife claimed could target and destroy various microorganisms and pathogens, and part of it is, purportedly, as follows. (The validity of these frequencies and their effectiveness in treating diseases has not been scientifically proven. Nonetheless, here is a selection of frequencies often associated with Rife.)

*Rife's Universal Microscope Frequency refers to the specific frequency of 139,000 Hertz (or 139 kHz) that Royal Rife claimed to have discovered as a key resonance frequency for observing microorganisms through his microscope. According to Rife, this frequency allowed him to visualize and study microorganisms with exceptional detail and clarity. Rife believed that by using this Universal Microscope Frequency, he could identify specific frequencies that would resonate with and destroy the microorganisms he observed. He claimed that each microorganism had its own unique resonance frequency, and by exposing it to that frequency, he could eliminate the microorganism without harming surrounding tissues or cells.

Waveforms and the Schumann Frequency

Royal Rife's work involved the use of various types of waveforms, including square waves, sine waves, and the Schumann frequency. Here's a brief explanation of each:

Square Wave:

Rife believed that using square waveforms as electrical frequencies could be more effective in destroying microorganisms. Square waves consist of rapid transitions between high and low voltage levels, creating a square-like waveform. Rife theorized that this sharp change in voltage could resonate with and disrupt the target microorganisms.

Sine Wave:

Sine waves are smooth and continuous oscillations that resemble the natural waveforms found in nature. Rife also utilized sine waves in his research. They are characterized by their repetitive pattern of high and low voltage levels, which are more gentle compared to square waves.

Schumann Frequency:

The Schumann resonance refers to the electromagnetic resonant frequency of the Earth's ionospheric cavity. It is approximately 7.83 Hz and is often associated with natural electromagnetic fields. Some proponents of Rife's work have suggested that incorporating the Schumann frequency into treatments could enhance the effectiveness of Rife machines.

What Happened to Royal Rife and Rife Machines?

Royal Rife faced challenges and even controversies. Despite having some supporters and individuals who reported positive outcomes, Rife's work and machines were met with skepticism from the medical and scientific community. Ultimately, Rife's methods were considered pseudoscientific. Rife's machines and research were subject to legal and financial difficulties, and he faced legal battles and patent disputes. 

Still, his beliefs and methods have transcended time, so much so that Rife machines are available for purchase today from an array of manufacturers, mostly mom-and-pop-type stores. The effectiveness and safety of these machines for medical purposes are highly debated and not supported by scientific evidence, though some alternative health aficionados as well as historians and scientists look upon the machines with curiosity and even reverence. The mainstream medical community does not recognize Rife machines as valid treatments for diseases.

If you are considering purchasing a Rife machine or any similar device, keep in mind that these machines are often marketed as wellness or complementary health devices rather than medical treatments. Consult with healthcare professionals or experts in the field to obtain reliable and evidence-based information before making any decisions.

Rife's theories and use of different frequencies and waveforms were part of his approach to targeting specific microbes and ailments. But, alas and again, Rife's claims and his Universal Microscope Frequency have not been scientifically validated or accepted by the mainstream scientific community.
