In 1931 some of America's most respected medical professionals honoured Royal Raymond Rife with a banquet billed as The End to all Diseases.

Rife was a brilliant scientist who developed technology still used today in the fields of optics, electronics, radiochemistry, ballistics and aviation. His greatest contribution can be seen in bioelectric medicine where he developed a technique not only to identify viruses and bacteria but to selectively destroy them by tuning to their specific vibrational frequency.

After inventing a revolutionary microscope that was able to amplify specimens up to 60 000 power, Rife advanced the idea of pleomorphism by watching bacteria change to a virus and then to another form.

He used the same principle, resonance, that made them visible to kill them. By increasing the intensity of a frequency that resonated naturally with these microbes, Rife increased their natural oscillations until they disintegrated from structural stresses. He called this frequency the mortal oscillatory rate.

The same principle can be illustrated by using an intense musical note to shatter a wine glass the molecules of the glass are already oscillating at some harmonic of that musical note and because everything else has a different resonant frequency nothing but the glass is destroyed.

Rife thereby discovered a process of selective destruction of bacteria similar to ultrasonic cleaning. He could select microscopic targets and actually watch them explode. He then studied the frequencies that destroy specific organisms such as herpes, spinal meningitis, tetanus, cancer and TB.

Although Rife's bioelectric medical research was meticulously documented on film and stop-motion photographs he was silenced by the medical-pharmaceutical cartel of his day, who destroyed 50 years of research and discredited doctors who were using Rife technology.

Rife's simple but remarkable frequency instruments again became public in 1986 with the publication of The Cancer Cure that Worked by Barry Lynes, which was published alongside other material about the scientist's monumental work.

The Rife Machine is being used by more than 100 doctors in South Africa today. One such practitioner is Frans Kromhout, of the Chiropractic Centre in Sea Point, who was one of the first local healers interested in what it had to offer.

"When it comes to sub-clinical health syndromes such as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and glandular fever, I've seen time and again results that are absolutely dramatic," he said. "It works best when you categorically know what the disease is; especially for targeting bacterial infections in the gums, pneumonia, chest infections, candida or shingles. With cancer we are still waiting for our first miracle. However, I have many cancer patients who are feeling better. My whole goal is working to find what really works in alternative healing. I don't like machines. To be honest, I prefer working with energy, but I rate the Rife frequency instrument in the top two of all the leading modalities I've researched the other being ozone therapy, where you draw blood from the body and mix it with a high form of oxygen and return it to the body. Viruses and parasites don't exist well in the presence of oxygen so you can get amazing results if you oxygenate.

"For syndromes such as CFS, brucellosis and rickettsia, which can reduce you to a total state of fatigue, conventional medicine doesn't have much to offer and the frequency instrument is more successful.

"Rife realised that at the smallest level we are beings of energy and therefore we can be influenced by energy. He discovered that every disease organism has its own electromagnetic signature, a fingerprint which holds the key to eliminate that disease."

The simple process entails patients holding hand-held electrodes for about 40 minutes, with variable follow-up visits. "Normally people have no more than 12 treatments," Kromhout said. "The best case I have ever seen was someone who was bedridden for six years who I put on the machine for 20 minutes who later came 100% back to normal."

Rife was born in 1888 and died in 1971. He received 14 major awards and honours and was given an honorary doctorate by the University of Heidelburg for his work. During the 66 years he spent designing and building medical instruments he worked for the US government, Zeiss Optics and most notably millionaire Henry Timkin. After constructing the incredibly complex universal microscope Rife became the first person to see a live virus and went on painstakingly to identify the spectroscopic signature of certain microbes.

The pioneer survived theft, sabotage and arson which destroyed the multi-million dollar Burnett Lab in New Jersey just as scientists were preparing to announce confirmation of his work. Milbank Johnson, an associate of Rife's, was poisoned just before a press conference announcing results from Rife's medical tests and Rife himself was killed by an "accidental" lethal dose of valium and alcohol at Grossmont Hospital.

Today, doctors have reconstructed his frequency instruments, keeping his genius alive.
