Imagine a world without cancer, a world without the hundreds of diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, fungus, yeast, and parasites. Each year millions of people are dying due to disease. In the U.S. alone 8,000 people die every week from cancer. Take the example of breast cancer; it is now the leading cause of death in women between the ages of 35 and 54.

In 1971, a woman’s lifetime risk of contracting Breast Cancer was 1 in 14. Today it is I in 8. Rachel’s Environment and Health Weekly, No. 571 reports: “More American women have died of Breast Cancer in the past two decades than all the Americans killed in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War combined.”

Many now discovering the amazing discoveries of Dr. Royal Raymond Rife in the 1930s are coming to believe these deaths may have been preventable.

Did Rife Discover A Cure For Cancer?
You Be The Judge!

The story of Royal Rife began in 1913 in the city of San Diego where he is said to have met Henry Timken, the owner of Timken Bearings. Timken, a wealthy businessman, saw great promise in Rife and provided him with the opportunity to pursue one of his lifelong dreams, to build a super microscope that would make it possible to see clearly and directly into a previously unexplored world. Rife opened his first Laboratory in 1916 in San Diego. His primary goal was to discover the cause of cancer. Starting in 1920, in an attempt to see disease organisms, he built several powerful microscopes. After 20,000 unsuccessful attempts, Rife finally succeeded in isolating and identifying a virus-size organism that he named the BX virus and which he proclaimed was nothing less than the cause of cancer.

The performance of his microscopes was, indeed, astounding, yielding an optical resolution of up to 31,000X. The device, according to reliable reports published at the time, had more than five thousand moving parts and the ability to examine living viruses, living bacteria and other, as yet undiscovered living organisms, and living energy forms that no other microscope before or since could see. Rife said he had created a way to view microscopic organisms by utilizing light refraction itself as a staining agent. The use of light rather than chemicals to illuminate the target allowed him to see the organism alive and ‘with personality’. A whole range of complex organisms and structures below the size of bacteria was revealed. Many of these are still unknown to present day science, even though some of them were discussed at the time. Today, only the electron microscope furnishes such a resolution, but since it kills what it views the electron microscope will not detect the living energy forms revealed by the Rife.

Today, many ailments which are difficult to diagnose and impossible to cure are presented to physicians. Furthermore, many pathogenic agents present potential infection dangers through direct and indirect contact, while others necessitate isolation and many additional precautions. All this could have been avoided long ago, say investigators, because these ailments and pathogenic agents could be recognized at once under Rife's projection microscope, completed in 1952. Medical science, it is argued, could have jumped a century ahead. Instead, the ruthless opposition to Rife's remarkable scientific breakthrough was to become a prime example, many believe, of the suppression of breakthrough technology by the orthodox scientific establishment.

After 15 years of research Rife said he had discovered that by applying certain specific electrical frequencies, the unique electronic signature of many diseases could be modified in such a way as to destroy them. According to Rife this could be done quickly and easily without harm to human cells much in the same way a talented singer can hit a certain note and shatter a crystal wine glass. Harmonic frequency, he said, could also be used to shatter a virus or bacteria. Rife was not alone. Working with him were notable scientists such as Dr. Lee Deforest, who invented the audion tube which permitted electrons to be modulated and radio waves to be broadcast. Using Deforest’s discovery, Rife was able to produce frequencies that were deadly to microscopic organisms. His work with frequency eventually produced, it was reported, the lethal energy needed to destroy many of the worst organisms known to man.

The majority of Rife’s research was aimed at finding the cause of cancer. It was Rife’s observation, through years of research and study, that bacteria could change their form. His observation was confirmed by other responsible scientists of the day. One microscopic organism could be converted to another, merely by altering its environment and food supply. The technical term for this change is pleomorphism—an example being when a caterpillar turns into a butterfly. The two forms appear to be unrelated but in reality one evolves from the other. As Rife directly viewed such changes through his microscope he confirmed that pleomorphism was the cause of many deadly viruses. When conditions were right for the change, he said, the cancer virus evolved from otherwise harmless bacteria. It appeared that Rife had managed to isolate the virus that causes cancer, a discovery, if proven, would be of enormous importance.

Rife soon began a series of experiments to confirm his theories. First he inoculated 400 Laboratory rats with the BX virus. As each rat developed a life threatening cancer, Rife exposed them to his frequency instrument until the cancer disappeared. The experiments appeared so successful that he decided to try his approach on human cancer victims.

Rife became friends with Dr. Milbank Johnson, head of the Southern California AMA. Johnson believed Rife’s discoveries were significant. Together they organized a trial to prove the utility of frequency with deadly diseases. In 1934 Johnson, in conjunction with the University of Southern California, sponsored a medical research team to evaluate Rife’s electronic therapy on terminal cancer patients. An initial success rate of 87.5% was recorded.

Rife went on to make improvements in the treatments and was soon to report that all 16 in this study recovered from their cancer within 130 days, without harmful side effects of any kind. This was the first human trial to prove the positive effect electrical frequency could have in fighting disease. Frequency is one of the very few approaches known to be free of harmful side effects—in marked contrast to synthetic drugs, which often produce such damaging side effects as impotence, high blood pressure, hair loss, migraine and damage to the heart, liver, kidneys, immune system and much more.

Starting in 1935 Rife’s electronic principles were incorporated into a new instrument built under the direction of Phillip Hoyland of Pasadena, California. Together they created an instrument that operated on standard household current and produced an output of 500 watts. It was to be distributed for testing to doctors around the world. Dr. Johnson sponsored several more clinics in 1935 and 1938 to test Rife’s device. Very excited about the new instrument, Johnson declared that the machine worked. For years to come, Rife worked with some of the most prestigious doctors and scientists in the world. His findings were becoming very well known in medical circles, but his discoveries apparently also began to threaten practitioners of more conventional disease treatments.

The work of Rife and Johnson eventually caught the attention of Morris Fishbein, president of the national American Medical Association. Fishbein approached Rife with an offer to purchase a large portion of his company. Rife refused the offer and soon began to experience mysterious problems. Doctors were being told that if they associated with Rife and his instruments, they would lose their license. A political Conspiracy seemed to be rearing its ugly head as doctors who had previously associated with Rife, and had actually been photographed with him, denied ever meeting him. Rife’s prospects plummeted.

Soon arsonists would destroy the Burnett Lab in New Jersey, which was validating his work. Then, someone fatally poisoned Dr. Milbank Johnson who died just hours before a scheduled press conference in which he was to announce that Rife’s electronic therapy cured every terminal cancer patient in a study he had supervised. Johnson’s written speech and the documents of his study were stolen at the time of his death. First thought to be an accident, investigators later discovered the death was caused by poison. Dr. Nemes, who duplicated some of Rife’s work, was also killed in a mysterious fire, which destroyed his lab just 40 miles away.

In 1951, Rife engaged the services of John F. Crane, a tool and die maker. Crane became interested in Rife’s discoveries and encouraged him to renew his research. As partners, the two worked for the next 21 years trying to move the frequency technology forward. A new company for the purpose of producing Rife’s frequency instruments was formed, and six of the old beam-ray-style instruments were produced. The new devices proved costly to maintain, however, as well as highly technical for most users. A newer more forgiving design was desperately needed, so a small electrode type unit was soon designed and produced. Reasonably priced and simple to operate, the new device soon became popular and was distributed to several loyal doctors. Reports of successes soon began to pile up.

The attack on Rife was not over, however. John Crane was accused of crimes involving Rife technology and was convicted. He spent several years in prison until he was released on appeal. During this time government agents acting on dubious authority seized the work and equipment of Rife and Crane. Crane responded with a crusade against what he called the “corrupt medical monopoly.” The laws of the United States, he commented, allow only for the treatment of cancer with radiation, surgery and drugs and by no other method. He believed this to be unconstitutional and in violation of the 14th Amendment, equal opportunity and the right to free enterprise. He believed these constitutionally guaranteed freedoms had been swept under the rug by the Public Health Department and the courts of the State and Federal judiciary. Doctors are told what to prescribe by drug salesmen, he complained. To a doctor’s training, mind and experiences, drugs are the only treatments for disease. Any doctor who violates this doctrine faces the loss of his license. Several doctors were supportive of Rife’s work and eventually punished for their loyalty.

Royal Rife died in 1971. As John Crane later said, “Rife was a great researcher and not a fighter. To cover up his sorrow at the monopoly control, he turned to alcohol in his later years, and failed to cope with the reality that his work could not be acknowledged or accepted.”

John Crane continued with the work, though, even after Rife's death. Crane is responsible for compiling many of Rife’s discoveries into a 1,000 page manual that he provided along with a more modern electronic frequency instrument. In 1987 Crane convinced author Barry Lynes to write a book on the work and history of Royal Rife. The book “The Cancer Cure that Worked, Fifty Years of Suppression” documented in great detail the miraculous discoveries of the inventor. Lynes' book has launched a modern revival of intense interest in Royal Rife. John Crane died in 1995. Today, many worry that as time passes and those who lived with Rife and Crane pass on, their discoveries will become ever more difficult to reconstruct and the world will be denied the fruit of his labors.

Royal Rife was one of those rare individuals whose work could ultimately benefit all of mankind and the loss of his legacy could prove a tragedy of immense proportions.
