Even though he did not have a medical degree, scientific and medical journals referred to Royal Raymond Rife as “Dr. Rife.” Among such journals was the Annual Report of the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution of 1944, which described major advances in the development of “The New Microscopes”. At the time, the breakthrough technology of using electron beams instead of light to visualize microscopic objects had opened up completely new windows of observation in biology and physics. Alongside the advanced electron microscope, however, Smithsonian authors Seidel and Winter reported on R.R. Rife’s “universal microscope” whose resolution and magnifying power exceeded even the new generation of electron microscopy.
The universal microscope was a mechanical marvel containing 5280 parts and 14 lenses and prisms that allowed for the live and in-motion observation of minute cellular structures and microorganisms hitherto invisible with the optical lens. Quoting from the Smithsonian report:
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 … [I]t 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.
Using polarization filters, Rife was able to observe microorganisms and viruses in vivo, and by the use of various prisms could produce “spectrograms” of each observed microorganism that are unique to the specimen.
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.

This unique and individual resonance spectrum of each microorganism and pathogen—its electromagnetic signature—led the way to a new form of frequency therapy by identifying what Rife called the “mortal oscillation rate” of a selected germ. Just as the right resonance frequency of sound can break glass, Rife frequencies and their “coordinative resonance” will only destroy pathogens of exactly the same oscillation spectrum.
Rife’s inventions and curative achievements were reported even in the New York Times. In 1931, Dr. Milbank Johnson, professor of medicine at the University of Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles, and Dr. Arthur Kendall of Northwestern University in Chicago, a leading American bacteriologist, visited Rife’s San Diego laboratory to see the microscope and frequency treatment firsthand. Later that same year, forty-four of the most respected U.S. medical authorities gathered in Pasadena, California to honor Rife with a banquet announced as “The End to All Diseases.” In 1934, Dr. Johnson conducted a clinical trial using Royal Rife’s technique on 16 “terminally” ill cancer patients, presenting all 16 as “cured” only a few months later.
By 1938, several clinics that applied Rife frequency medicine had opened, and USC had organized a special medical research committee—headed by Dr. Johnson—to oversee Rife’s energy therapy and clinical success with various diseases such as tuberculosis, typhoid, other infectious diseases, and cancer.
However, by 1939, the American Medical Association, the American Cancer Society, and major pharmaceutical interest groups were stepping up with fury, denying and denouncing the efficacy of Rife’s techniques. At the same time, and for unknown reasons, a “mysterious” 3:00 A.M. fire destroyed the leading laboratory for electronic or energy medicine in New Jersey.
With the premature death in 1944 of Dr. Milbank Johnson, all the files relating to Rife vanished. Impoverished and denied access to medical-scientific laboratories, Royal Raymond Rife nevertheless began to develop his energy technologies anew, building various devices that came to be used for experiments and self-therapy. In 1960, the FDA and medical authorities invaded his laboratory and smashed and confiscated Rife’s frequency instruments, alleging that he had applied medical instrumentation without a license.
Royal Raymond Rife invented technologies that are still commonly used today in the fields of optics, electronics, radiochemistry, biochemistry, ballistics, and aviation, among them a heterodyning ultraviolet microscope, the very first micromanipulator, and a micro-dissector. He won 14 government awards for scientific discoveries.
Many believe that Royal Raymond Rife may have been the most brilliant, gifted, and undaunted scientist in American history.

Presentation by Steven Ross at the GlobalBEM Conference 2013
Wow, I’d heard the name but never before had I seen a concise bio, thanks for the information.
This sounds interesting. Will definitely take a look.
I’ve recently read A world without cancer by G Edward Griffen and also saw a documentary on another type of alternative treatment recently, which name I forgot now.
It really makes me question the status quo of using radiation by thé medical establishment. I’ve lost family to cancer. They all had chemotherapy and I really wonder if that didn’t make it worse instead of helping..
I watched Majid Nawaaz interviews recently on Midazolam and other heavy drugs used in the UK on patients… and wonder if the medical establishments in our western societies are actually becoming dangerous places. Not just with the whole covid drama, but with all complex diseases they are attempting to treat people on.
DANGEROUS. I had a brain stem stoke when 43 which could have been prevented with existing allopathic knowledge. I was mis-diagnosed on all of the sequela to this and suffered needlessly for 25 years afterwards, with 12 years barely able to speak or walk. I am still trying to achieve homeostasis at 70 years old. (I’m a tough old bird but thankfully also understand when it is time to surrender and beg for grace.) The only help I’ve received has been through alternative treatments. The only knowledge I’ve received and then acted upon has been through alternative reading material. I’ve since written a book under a pen name (Emily Jean Entwistle) to try to help others, and my emphasis is on prayer, meditation, journaling, EFT, a safe and natural water and food supply, etc. I tell people to be the CEO of their own health enterprise, and to hire and fire based on performance of their providers. Now, as a senior, I tell everyone to stay away from Medicare because its “standard of care” is IMHO designed to commit euthanasia without the individual or family knowing that it is occurring. Gee, that sounds familiar, doesn’t it. . .
The late Dr. James Bare, DC of Albuquerque, NM spent his life furthering Royal Rife’s work, updating his frequency generators, etc. Because the work is outlawed in the US for medical treatment (inexpensive and effective!), he gave his entire life’s research efforts to a company in Canada to pursue. That company is Resonant Light Therapies. It’s a very interesting journey for research. I knew personally three cancer victims (two with stage 4 leukemia, and 1 with terminal brain cancer) who lived successful and relatively normal lives thanks to Dr. Bare’s updates. It is a total mystery why the FDA thinks this is dangerous, particularly since I understand they have licensed known medical institutions in the US to do “research” with it to date.
It is dangerous because it makes a major contribution to ending central control
Resonant Light can ship their equipment outside of the Canadian border under the auspices of it being “for research purposes”, BTW.
Once again the Deep State destroys the life of a genius because it would interfere with their PROFIT STREAM.
With the help from John Trump, Electrical Engineer from MIT (On orders from Vanavar Bush) they did the same thing to Nicola Tesla. Vanavar formed Ratheon that then profited from the Stolen Tesla Papers!!
Anyone here ever used a Spooky2? I have been eyeing one but haven’t had the time to fully understand how it works and buy it.
I haven’t used it but have friends who do. They give it good reviews. A bit of a steep learning curve. Spooky2 has a Facebook page you can join to learn from people who are using it.
Infopathy.com also uses Rife frequencies.
The decisions come down to the (1) quality and track record of the manufacturer. BTW, Spooky2 is a data set of treatments that many providers utilize, but there are other data sets whom I’d like to think Royal Rife would have approved of in concept, as well. (2) Customer service and tech support and (3) the delivery system ie. do you want to place sticky patches on yourself and be tethered to the machine, or do you want it delivered as an energy field for perhaps 30 ft from the antenna? I’ve even seen some that claim to work through sound instead of the original Rife concept although I can’t speak to the efficacy of this. My thought is to stay as close as possible to the original Rife design, but that’s me.
Self care is the way to go now, even if you happen to be a Senior and feel you should use your Medicare insurance and work within the system. I’m convinced the system is trying to kill us, based on several decades of trying to work within it. You, too, can have a Rife machine, although one can’t really call it that as they aren’t allowed legally in the U.S. Search it out – there are ways around this and it is worth it.
WE LOVE DR. RIFE! Way to go naming him hero of the week. 😀
