  • Beneficial, ‘Normalizing’, and Stimulating Frequencies


    The following frequencies fall generally into the category of “Bio-Energetic or Bio-Resonance Nutrition / Balancing”, rather than the “Rifeing” approach of ‘blasting apart pathogens’. These experimental frequencies are offered as ‘balancing’ or ‘normalizing’ or ‘stimulating’ to body system functions.


    This fits with the view and understanding of the body as an energetic system, rather than as a biochemical ‘machine’. Resonance Energy is then theoretically received by the body as “Energetic Information”.

    Books by Dr. James L. Oschman, MD, [“Energy Medicine, The Scientific Basis”] and Dr. Richard Gerber, M.D. [“Vibrational Medicine For The 21st Century”], will provide further background for this viewpoint for those interested in researching this subject further.

    The potential power of the ‘intentionality’ involved in using these frequencies for these specific purposes should also not be overlooked or underestimated. Much remains to be learned and written. Feedback on the research application of these frequencies and results will be welcomed.

    Most dramatic results have been reported with some of these frequencies when used with the EM+ systems, using direct contact of the plasma tube with the selected target area desired to be affected, while also using a stainless steel grounding plate, sometimes directly opposite the area to be affected. Using two plasma tubes simultaneously may also be appropriate research technique in some instances. Use of these frequencies with Contact Pad application systems as well as with Pulsed Monochromatic Light Systems may also be suitable research approaches.

    WARNING: Direct contact with the plasma tubes should not be used with RF Carrier based radiant Plasma systems such as the Rife/Bare design based systems, due to the likelihood of producing severe RF burns. They were not designed for this mode of resonant frequency induction. Oschman’s book, as well as Robert O. Becker’s book, “Cross Currents” should be referenced for further information on possible “stress effects” and adverse reactions to exposures to RF fields.

  • SCR GATE


    SCR GATE


    This circuit will allow one to produce extremely fast gate rates for R/B devices. It may also work with EMEM type of devices. It will not work with hand held electrode devices.

    You will need two separate frequency generators to operate this device. One to set the gate rate, and the other to set the MOR. It is hoped that a small , inexpensive, frequency generator can be found that can be used to set the rate. This web page will be updated to reflect the utilization of such a frequency generator as soon as one is available.

    Some experimentation seems to indicate that best results are obtained in using a gate rate of between 58 and 72 Hz. A peak seems to be reached at about 65-66 hz.Until recently, the use of 1 to 6 hz have been used as gate rates. These do not produce the dramatic entrainment effect found at much faster gate rates, especially in the 58 to 72 Hz region. One must match the gate rate to the MOR frequency! Try Using 16 Hz from about 500 to 1000 Hz, 20 – 30 Hz from 1000 to 1500 Hz and 60 +Hz from 1500 Hz up. As more is learned about these fast gate rates , this page will be updated , and will reflect what has become the generally accepted gate rates for a particular range of MOR.

    What a fast gate rate does is to induce the effect of entrainment. Entrainment can be defined as :

    “ the tendency for two oscillating bodies to lock into phase so that they vibrate in harmony. It is also defined as a synchronization of two or more rhythmic cycles. The principle of entrainment is universal, appearing in chemistry, pharmacology, biology, medicine, psychology, sociology, astronomy, architecture and more”.

    In other words – if one targets an area of the body, or infectious organism with a frequency that they are resonant to, lacking entrainment, that frequency may be ineffective. The reason is this.; the area of the body or infectious organism has a different beat than that of the (frequency ) being generated. The two are not “dancing” ( to use an analogy) in beat to the same frequency! If the external frequencies entrainment rate lacks adequate intensity, or adequate rate, there will be no entrainment by the body or organism to that external frequency ! An analogy to this would be performing a popular dance song at too slow a beat. The song and instruments would be in tune, but the beat would be too slow to make anyone want to dance. Same would occur if the music was played at the correct tempo, but was played so softly no one could hear or “feel” the beat.

    SETUP NOTES

    The SCR should have a low gate voltage. Most SCR’s have under a 3 volt gate. That is they need three volts to operate the gate. I am presently using an NTE 5437 SCR but something similar will work fine. The two diodes in the circuit are nothing fancy, but I’d recommend they be rated at least 50 PIV @ 1 amp. All the parts save the SCR are available from Radio Shack. Radio Shack does have an SCR available on special order. There is about a 1.5 volt drop across each diode. So when you first operate the device, you will have to increase the output voltage of the MOR frequency generator to compensate. To get to operate, turn up the voltage on the gate circuit with a frequency of about 2 Hz, this will let you see if the gate is working.

    As the gate frequency is increased, you may have to increase the voltage of the gate. Increase the voltage from the MOR generator until maximum power shows on the antenna tuner dial. The gate will not work unless the voltages from the MOR and Gate frequency generators are high enough! Too much voltage from the MOR generator can over drive your CB, so use only enough voltage to produce maximum power on the antenna tuner fwd power meter.

    Expect to see power drop off about 1/3rd at a very fast pulse rate. If you device makes 150 watts continuous power output, it will make about 100 watts on the meter when gated at 60 Hz. By varying the duty cycle of the gate frequency, one may directly influence the duration of time between each gate. I like to set my gate to about a 75% duty cycle, and this seems to produce a superior effect to that of a 50% duty cycle.

    THE EFFECTS OF ENTRAINMENT CAN BE VERY INTENSE! CONSTRUCT AND USE THIS DEVICE AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION AND RISK!

    Alternating current electrical stimulation enhanced chemotherapy: a novel strategy to bypass multidrug resistance in tumor cells.

    BACKGROUND: Tumor burden can be pharmacologically controlled by inhibiting cell division and by direct, specific toxicity to the cancerous tissue. Unfortunately, tumors often develop intrinsic pharmacoresistance mediated by specialized drug extrusion mechanisms such as P-glycoprotein. As a consequence, malignant cells may become insensitive to various anti-cancer drugs. Recent studies have shown that low intensity very low frequency electrical stimulation by alternating current (AC) reduces the proliferation of different tumor cell lines by a mechanism affecting potassium channels while at intermediate frequencies interfere with cytoskeletal mechanisms of cell division. The aim of the present study is to test the hypothesis that permeability of several MDR1 over-expressing tumor cell lines to the chemotherapic agent doxorubicin is enhanced by low frequency, low intensity AC stimulation.

    METHODS: We grew human and rodent cells (C6, HT-1080, H-1299, SKOV-3 and PC-3) which over-expressed MDR1 in 24-well Petri dishes equipped with an array of stainless steel electrodes connected to a computer via a programmable I/O board. We used a dedicated program to generate and monitor the electrical stimulation protocol. Parallel cultures were exposed for 3 hours to increasing concentrations (1, 2, 4, and 8 microM) of doxorubicin following stimulation to 50 Hz AC (7.5 microA) or MDR1 inhibitor XR9576. Cell viability was assessed by determination of adenylate kinase (AK) release. The relationship between MDR1 expression and the intracellular accumulation of doxorubicin as well as the cellular distribution of MDR1 was investigated by computerized image analysis immunohistochemistry and Western blot techniques.

    RESULTS: By the use of a variety of tumor cell lines, we show that low frequency, low intensity AC stimulation enhances chemotherapeutic efficacy. This effect was due to an altered expression of intrinsic cellular drug resistance mechanisms. Immunohistochemical, Western blot and fluorescence analysis revealed that AC not only decreases MDR1 expression but also changes its cellular distribution from the plasma membrane to the cytosol. These effects synergistically contributed to the loss of drug extrusion ability and increased chemo-sensitivity.

    CONCLUSION: In the present study, we demonstrate that low frequency, low intensity alternating current electrical stimulation drastically enhances chemotherapeutic efficacy in MDR1 drug resistant malignant tumors. This effect is due to an altered expression of intrinsic cellular drug resistance mechanisms. Our data strongly support a potential clinical application of electrical stimulation to enhance the efficacy of currently available chemotherapeutic protocols.

    Multidrug resistance (MDR) is one of the major problems in osteosarcoma chemotherapy. Therefore, methods of overcoming MDR are urgently needed. In this study, we investigated the effects of pulsing electromagnetic field stimulation (PEMFs) on a MDR murine osteosarcoma cell line which strongly expresses P-glycoprotein (P-gp). To assess the reversal effects of PEMFs on doxorubicin (DOX) resistance, MTT assay was applied. Viable cells were assessed by the trypan blue exclusion test. Fluorescence intensity of DOX binding to nuclear DNA of each cell was measured using a cytofluorometer. Changes in P-gp expression in each cell were detected by the indirect immunofluorescence method using an antibody to Pgp. PEMFs increased DOX binding ability to nuclear DNA and inhibited cell growth, although it had no significant effect on P-gp expression. These findings indicated that PEMFs reversed the DOX resistance of the MOS/ADR1 cells by inhibiting P-gp function. The results suggested that PEMFs may be useful as a local treatment for MDR osteosarcoma.

    Combined action of a low intensive physical factor and a chemotherapeutic agent in ultralow doses against Lewis lung carcinoma was studied. Antitumor activity of low intensiwe electromagnetic field was expressed as inhibition of tumor growth at 60% compare to control. Ultra low doses of doxorubicin as well as its standard dose resulted in inhibition of tumor growth by 60-70% in comparison with control. Joint action of both factors leaded to increasing in the antitumor effect that reached such level of tumor growth inhibition as 85% relative to control.

    Morbidity resulting from the toxicity of chemotherapeutic drugs suggests that novel approaches are worthy of investigation. Development of the use of low intensity magnetic fields as an adjuvant to current treatment regimens to prevent metastatic disease may prove to be efficacious. Using a cell culture model, we have developed a magnetic field (MF) treatment that offers the possibility of lowering the therapeutic dose of these drugs and thereby reducing morbidity. Our studies have found that a low intensity (approximately 2 gauss) MF signal and a relatively low dose (0.1 microg/ml) of Adriamycin (ADR) inhibited proliferation of human osteosarcoma cells by 82%, whereas the MF and ADR acting individually caused only 19% and 44% inhibition, respectively.

    The resistance of tumor cells to antineoplastic agents is a major obstacle during cancer chemotherapy. Many authors have observed that some exposure protocols to pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) can alter the efficacy of anticancer drugs; nevertheless, the observations are not clear. We have evaluated whether a group of PEMF pulses (1.5 mT peak, repeated at 1 and 25 Hz) produces alterations of drug potency on a multidrug resistant human colon adenocarcinoma (HCA) cell line, HCA-2/1(cch). The experiments were performed including (a) exposures to drug and PEMF exposure for 1 h at the same time, (b) drug exposure for 1 h, and then exposure to PEMF for the next 2 days (2 h/day). Drugs used were vincristine (VCR), mitomycin C (MMC), and cisplatin. Cell viability was measured by the neutral red stain cytotoxicity test. The results obtained were: (a) The 1 Hz PEMF increased VCR cytotoxicity (P < 0.01), exhibiting 6.1% of survival at 47.5 microg/ml, the highest dose for which sham exposed groups showed a 19.8% of survival. For MMC at 47.5 microg/ml, the % of survival changed significantly from 19.2% in sham exposed groups to 5.3% using 25 Hz (P < 0.001). Cisplatin showed a significant reduction in the % of survival (44.2-39.1%, P < 0.05) at 25 Hz and 47.5 microg/ml, and (b) Minor significant alterations were observed after nonsimultaneous exposure of cells to PEMF and drug. The data indicate that PEMF can induce modulation of cytostatic agents in HCA-2/1(cch), with an increased effect when PEMF was applied at the same time as the drug. The type of drug, dose, frequency, and duration of PEMF exposure could influence this modulation. Copyright 2002 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Biological effects of PEMF (pulsing electromagnetic field): an attempt to modify cell resistance to anticancer agents.

    C.R.E.S.A.M., Pisa, Italy.

    Pulsing Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) effects lead to a modification of the multidrug resistance (MDR) of cells in vitro and in vivo. The murine leukemic doxorubicin-resistant cell line, P388/Dx, subjected to PEMF irradiation in vitro, showed a significant difference in thymidine incorporation when the concentration of doxorubicin reached a level of 1 microgram/mL, which corresponds to the inhibition dose 50 (ID50). The human lymphoblastic leukemia vinblastine-resistant cell line, CEM/VLB100, also showed a significant modification under the same experimental conditions at the in vitro ID50 corresponding to a vinblastine concentration of 100 ng/mL. BDF1 mice transplanted with P388/Dx cells also had an increase in their life span when doxorubicin was injected intraperitoneally in fractionated doses, while being subjected to PEMF irradiation.

    Static and ELF magnetic fields enhance the in vivo anti-tumor efficacy of cis-platin against lewis lung carcinoma, but not of cyclophosphamide against B16 melanotic melanoma.

    Previous works showed that exposure to static and extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic fields (MF) over 3 mT slows down the growth kinetics of human tumors engrafted s.c. in immunodeficient mice, reducing their metastatizing power and prolonging mouse survival. In the experiments reported here, immunocompetent mice bearing murine Lewis Lung carcinomas (LLCs) or B16 melanotic melanomas were exposed to MF and treated respectively with two commonly used anti-cancer drugs: cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (cis-platin) and N,N-bis (2-chloroethyl)tetra-hydro-2H-1,3,2-oxazaphosphorin-2-amine 2-oxide (cyclophosphamide). The experiment endpoint was survival time. The survival time of mice treated with cis-platin (3mg/kg i.p.) and exposed to MF was significantly (P<0.01) longer than that of mice treated only with cis-platin or only exposed to MF, superimposing that of mice treated with 10mg/kg i.p. of the drug, showing that MF act synergically with the pharmacological treatment. On the contrary, when mice treated with cyclophosphamide (50mg/kg i.p.) were exposed to MF no synergic effects were observed, the survival curve being exactly the same as that of mice treated with the drug alone. No clinical signs or toxicity were seen in any of the mice exposed to MF alone or along with cis-platin or cyclophosphamide treatment, compared to mice given only the two known drugs.A possible explanation for the synergic effect of MF being found in mice treated with cis-platin could be that the platinum ion stimulates radical production and that MF enhance active oxygen production bringing about changes in tumor cell membrane permeability, influencing positively the drug uptake. Alternatively, or in addition to this, it has been demonstrated that the rate of conversion of cis-platin to reactive species able to bind to DNA, is increased by localized production of free radicals by MF.

    Electromagnetic augmentation of antibiotic efficacy in infection of orthopaedic implants.

    Pickering SA, Bayston R, Scammell BE.

    Academic Department of Orthopaedic and Fracture Surgery, Queen’s Medical Centre, Nottingham, England, UK.

    Infection of orthopaedic implants is a significant problem, with increased antibiotic resistance of adherent ‘biofilm’ bacteria causing difficulties in treatment. We have investigated the in vitro effect of a pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) on the efficacy of antibiotics in the treatment of infection of implants. Five-day biofilms of Staphylococcus epidermidis were grown on the tips of stainless-steel pegs.They were exposed for 12 hours to varying concentrations of gentamicin or vancomycin in microtitre trays at 37 degrees C and 5% CO2. The test group were exposed to a PEMF. The control tray was not exposed to a PEMF. After exposure to antibiotic the pegs were incubated overnight, before standard plating onto blood agar for colony counting. Exposure to a PEMF increased the effectiveness of gentamicin against the five-day biofilms of Staphylococcus epidermidis. In three of five experiments there was reduction of at least 50% in the minimum biofilm inhibitory concentration. In a fourth experiment there was a two-log difference in colony count at 160 mg/l of gentamicin. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) confirmed an effect by a PEMF on the efficacy of gentamicin which was significant at p < 0.05. There was no significant effect with vancomycin.

    Bacterial biofilms and the bioelectric effect.

    Wellman N, Fortun SM, McLeod BR.

    Engineering Research Center, Department of Electrical Engineering, Montana State University, Bozeman 59717-0378, USA.

    Bacterial biofilms are acknowledged to be a major factor in problems of ineffective sterilization often encountered in clinics, hospitals, and industrial processes. There have been indications that the addition of a relatively small direct current electric field with the sterilant used to combat the biofilm greatly increases the efficacy of the sterilization process. The results of the experiments reported in this paper support the concept of the “bioelectric effect” as reported by J.W. Costerton, B. Ellis, K. Lam, F. Johnson, and A.E. Khoury (Antimicrob. Agents Chemother, 38:2803-2809, 1994). With a current of 1 mA flowing through the chamber containing the biofilm, an increase in the killing of the bacteria of about 8 log orders was observed at the end of 24 h (compared with the control with the same amount of antibacterial agent but no current). We also confirmed that the current alone does not affect the biofilm and that there appear to be optimum levels of both the current and the sterilant that are needed to obtain the maximum effect.

    A radio frequency electric current enhances antibiotic efficacy against bacterial biofilms.

    Bacterial biofilms are notably resistant to antibiotic prophylaxis. The concentration of antibiotic necessary to significantly reduce the number of bacteria in the biofilm matrix can be several hundred times the MIC for the same bacteria in a planktonic phase. It has been observed that the addition of a weak continuous direct electric current to the liquid surrounding the biofilm can dramatically increase the efficacy of the antibiotic. This phenomenon, known as the bioelectric effect, has only been partially elucidated, and it is not certain that the electrical parameters are optimal. We confirm here the bioelectric effect for Escherichia coli biofilms treated with gentamicin and with oxytetracycline, and we report a new bioelectric effect with a radio frequency alternating electric current (10 MHz) instead of the usual direct current. None of the proposed explanations (transport of ions within the biofilm, production of additional biocides by electrolysis, etc.) of the direct current bioelectric effect are applicable to the radio frequency bioelectric effect. We suggest that this new phenomenon may be due to a specific action of the radio frequency electromagnetic field upon the polar parts of the molecules forming the biofilm matrix.

    This paper was originally written in 2004 and more published research has now been located which is not referenced in this paper. A web page has been created with the full abstracts from published research that demonstrates the synergism between pulsed EM fields and chemotherapeutic medications .

    Updated References and Abstracts

    Research into the physiologic effects of low power, pulsed electromagnetic (EM) fields, has produced a number of important discoveries. To date, with rare exception, these discoveries at best are investigational, and have not been applied in a clinical manner. Much of this research material is unknown to the general practitioner, and has not been correlated into a potentially utilizable treatment method. This paper proposes the fusion of existing cancer chemotherapy techniques with low power pulsed EM field research discoveries. Evidence is presented that the sum of these combined effects far exceeds that of each method individually. A transmitted, pulsed EM field, can be created which will safely produce whole body permeation/saturation. Such saturation can create an interaction of the pulsed EM field with chemotherapeutic medications, simultaneously, at all tumor sites throughout the body. By creating a synergism of biochemical, electrochemical , and electronic principles, the practitioner should be able to achieve a superior treatment outcome.

    Present chemotherapy regimens are fraught with many shortcomings. The worst of these is toxicity , which can include permanent damage to various vital organs including the heart, lungs and kidneys. Even without such permanent damage, short term toxicity manifests as severe nausea, repression of the hematopoietic system, alopecia, and many other types of physical unpleasantness. Other major problems with chemotherapy are development of cellular accommodation ( non responsive/refractory to treatment), patient/family mental stress, and in many cases no clear cut outcome other than temporary tumor shrinkage. Actual prolongation of patient survival post treatment is all too often a secondary consideration in the application of chemotherapy.

    The great majority of cancer research is directed not to a solution of the these problems, but rather towards a solution to cancer. For patients, the only reason they consent to such abusive treatment, is that the consequences of untreated cancer outweigh the negative repercussions of treatment. What is needed is a new chemotherapeutic medication which will selectively affect cancer cells, and has minimal side effects/toxicity. This medication would also have improved outcomes from treatment, and be highly resistant to cellular accommodation . Primary importance would be directed to improved patient survival percentages and overall length of survival. Such a medication does not now apparently exist, and next to an outright cure, could be considered as the “Holy Grail “ of cancer treatment. It is the contention of this paper that it may be possible to adapt at least a few of the presently utilized chemotherapeutic medications, to a new treatment protocol. A protocol that will produce the effects that meet this idealized vision of cancer treatment.

    This transformation of available chemotherapeutic medications and treatment is to be accomplished via a synergistic combination of the medication with a low voltage and low current, transmitted pulsed electromagnetic (EM) field. The ideal transmitted EM field is one that can couple itself energetically to the entire body. That is, the field may be used to treat the entire body at one time. This will ensure that wherever the medication can be delivered within the body, treatment congruence between the field and the medication will occur. There is considerable scientific supporting evidence for this proposal that will be discussed in the following paragraphs.

    The utilization of electrical pulses with chemotherapy medications is not new. This technique is being investigated and employed by a variety of researchers and cancer treatment specialists. The primary method utilized is some variant of what is known as electropermeabilization or as it is also known, electroporation. An ultra short time duration, but high intensity, electrical pulse , is applied to a tumor or group of cells to produce short duration and reversible pores within the plasma membrane. Pores through which various ions and molecules may be introduced into the interior of the cell. To use this technique, a tumor site is saturated with a chemotherapy drug and then pulsed through implanted electrodes with a very short and very intense electrical signal.

    An associated technique being utilized by some clinicians and researchers is known as EChT or Electro Chemical Treatment of tumors. In this method electrodes are inserted into the cancer site along with a chemotherapeutic medication. In contrast to electropermeabilization, relatively low currents and voltages are used on the tumor site. These voltages and currents may be applied for many hours at a time. The migration of charged particles in the created field is somewhat akin to electrophoresis and has produced some excellent responses to treatment.

    Many of the chemotherapeutic drugs chosen for EchT or electropermeabilization techniques belong to the class known as Alkylating agents. These compounds are electrically polarized and capable of being influenced to migrate in an electrical field vector. There are obvious and non obvious reported problems to both of these electrically based methods. These include:

    1. The techniques can only be used on specific localized tumors.

    2. The patient must endure the implantation of electrodes and direct injection of the chemotherapy medication. Often deep within the body.

    3. The effects occur primarily between the electrodes, with very large tumors needing

    multiple placement of needle electrodes. The technique cannot be utilized with

    extremely small tumors. This allows small metastatic sites to escape treatment.

    4. Some tissues do not tolerate the direct application of chemotherapeutic medications, and there may be collateral damage to healthy tissue.

    5. With EChT, there is also metallic ion migration off the electrodes into the surrounding tissues. This can create localized areas of metal toxicity.

    6. The patient must endure the bursts of electrical current into their body from either EChT or electropermeabilization. In EChT, the electricity is much akin to that delivered by a muscle stimulator. An electropermeabilization pulse is more akin to the spark derived from an automotive ignition coil. To use a more graphic example of what a patient experiences, imagine having a muscle stimulator or car ignition coil attached directly to your colon.

    In defense of electropermeabilization and EChT, both methods overcome some major problems in traditional oral or IV chemotherapy. Through direct injection into a tumor, the medication can be concentrated at the site of the tumor without creating whole body toxicity. Electropermeabilization and EChT offer a method to increase drug delivery into the cancer cells, which has brought about some very significant responses to treatment. Further, the amount of medication necessary to produce a toxic response within the cancer cells, is at times, significantly reduced.

    EChT and Electropermeabilization are not the methods to be utilized in this proposal . They have been discussed only to demonstrate that there are existing synergies between electrical fields and chemotherapeutic medications.

    Concept Discussion:

    The human body ( or for that matter any mammals body) is very complex electrically . Each cell within the body has a particular set of electrical parameters within which it functions. The cells of the body operate and maintain their homeostasis at least partially through electro chemical processes. Electrically charged particles such as ions, and proteins, accumulate on both sides of the various membrane interfaces of a cell, and create an electrical potential. Normal cells and cancer cells have many different physiologic qualities, which include those of their plasma membrane potential and electrochemistry. A normal cell has a plasma membrane potential of about 70 to 100 mv (Cone, 1970, 1975, 1985). This is equal to an electrical potential of between 10 and 20 million volts per meter ( Brown, 1999). The mitochondrial membranes of a normal cell maintain an electrical potential of almost 40 million volts per meter (Brown, 1999).

    When a cell becomes cancerous, plasma membranes degenerate and depolarize ( Marino et. al. 1994 ) .More succinctly, the electrical potential across the membrane drops drastically. The degeneration and loss of electrical potential of the plasma membrane in cancer allows it to become more permeable to water, and to certain ions such as sodium that normally are found in abundance on the outside of a normal cell. In cancer, sodium is allowed through the cells plasma membrane and accumulates within the cytosol. Meanwhile the ionic elements of potassium, magnesium , calcium, and zinc, which are normally found inside of the cell plasma membrane, tend to migrate out of the cytosol (Seeger and Wolz, 1990). As the distribution of ions shift, cancer cells tend to become very electronegative, and the tissue areas surrounding the cancer cells become quite electropositive. This electropositivity has been used for detection of cancer (Marino, et. al, 1994). The combined effects of the low plasma membrane electrical potential and ionic imbalance, assists in the conversion of a normal cells aerobic based metabolism to that of a cancer cell with an anaerobic based metabolism. Conversion to anaerobic glycolysis (fermentation) as a primary mechanism for energy production results in excessive accumulation of organic acids and acidic pH alterations in cancerous tissues (Seeger and Wolz, 1990).

    The loss of electrical potential across a cancer cells plasma membrane is the foundation upon which this proposal is based. The application of an artificially created electrical field of a few tens of millivolts at the plasma membrane of a cancer cell will create an electrochemical imbalance of the cell. An imbalance which this proposal intends to exploit.

    Ions and molecules ( chemotherapy medications) enter cells through a variety of different methods. These methods include ion gating, osmosis, and endocytosis. In a normal cell, these mechanisms are all driven by cellular energetic pathways. Ion Gating and Osmotic methods are capable of only passing small ions through the cell plasma membrane. Endocytosis, can pass large macromolecules such as sugars, and most importantly medications. These three methods of transport can be artificially mediated and elicited by the presence of an external pulsed electrical field. (Teissie and Tsong 1981, Petrov and Mircevova, 1986 , Rosemberg and Korenstein ,1997 ) When so accomplished they are known as Voltage Dependent Ion Gating, Electro Osmosis, and Electro Endocytosis. By inducing these electrically driven methods of transport, pulsed electrical fields are capable of producing disruption of the cancer cells electro chemical balance and function ( Panagopoulos, Karabarbounis and Margaritis, 2002).

    Electro endocytosis is of significant interest to this proposal. Endocytosis is a process whereby the cell plasma membrane invaginates and surrounds a large macro molecule. This piece of plasma membrane then closes off to form a vesicle which transports the molecule within the cell. The reverse process is known as exocytosis, whereby the empty vesicle is transported back to the plasma membrane. The vesicle then opens, and rejoins the plasma membrane. The process of endocytosis must be balanced to some degree with the process of exocytosis. If an extreme excess of endocytosis in relation to exocytosis occurs, a possible compromise of the cells plasma membrane may ensue.

    It is well known that at very high electrical field strengths, a process known as vesicle electroformation occurs. This process can create extremely large or macro size vesicles out of bilayer lipid membranes. A high electrical field strength dependent process is not the mechanism this proposal seeks to utilize.

    Rosemberg and Korenstein ( 1997) have shown that the process of electro endocytosis can occur at very low field strengths. They found it possible to incorporate molecules in the 1-2000 kD range into 85% of the cells used in their test. Other researches have supported this finding. The necessary field strength can be as low as 20 V/cm or a transmembrane potential of 6mv ( Teissie & Tsong, 1981). Electrically polar and nonpolar chemotherapeutic molecules have been utilized with very low electrical field strengths to produce highly significant positive treatment outcomes. Entin, et. al. (2003) , used fields of 40V/cm (12 mv added transmembrane potential ) with Bleomycin, Taxol , and Cisplatin in treatment of mice inoculated with melanoma cells. A low voltage enhancement was also reported by Miyazaki, et. al. (2003). Mice inoculated with Colon cancer cells were given intratumor injections of Bleomycin and exposed to fields of from 50 to 150V/cm . The use of chemotherapeutic medications with electrical fields can result in enhanced cellular sensitivity to the medication. Gray , et. al. (2000) found severe over dosage reactions to Adriamycin (ADM) occurred when ADM was administered to animals kept in a static but very intense electrical field .

    Cisplatin and it’s immediate family of molecules acts directly upon DNA. It has been used successfully in the combined treatment of B-16 melanoma bearing mice with low ( 20-100V/cm) field strength ( Entin et. al., 2003). It seems apparent that not only will the presence of cis-platinum type molecules within a cancer cell be advantageous, but so would a simultaneous stimulation of the activity level of the cells DNA. Cancer cells go through periods of rest and activity and most chemotherapeutic drugs are primarily effective against rapidly dividing cells. Application of chemotherapeutic medications is often timed to a perceived interval of genetic/cellular activity. The usage of low voltage pulsed fields seems to create an artificial “window” of activity. Low voltage pulsed electrical fields act not just upon the ability of a cell to aid molecular & ionic transport, they also act upon the cells DNA. Binderman, et. al.(1985) found that at between 13 to 50 V/cm , cell cultures of skeletal origin would immediately show changes in cyclic AMP levels and enhanced DNA synthesis . Blank and Soo ( 1997 ) reported a frequency dependent effect on Na, K-ATPase enzyme activation in fields of from 3- 3000 Hz. Pulsed EM fields have been linked not just to enzyme reactions but also to increased transcription rates for specific genes. Pulsed EM fields act directly on signal transduction pathways and with electrons in DNA to stimulate biosynthesis ( Goodman and Blank 2002).

    Chemotherapy cellular resistance is the most common cause of treatment failure and has several different etiologies. The most ubiquitous method of resistance to treatment is that of activation and expression of energy dependent transporters that literally remove the medications from the cells ( Gottesman 2002). The medication, due to the action of transporters, is not allowed to accumulate to a toxic level and cannot perform it’s assigned task. Even though small amounts of chemotherapeutic drugs do enter resistant cancer cells, the drugs biochemical action is thwarted. It is thought that the primary action of chemotherapeutic drugs is the initiation of apoptosis. Apoptosis is at least partially mediated by the behavior and chemical signals produced by the mitochondria. The mitochondria of malignant cells are electrochemically different from those of normal cells. This electrochemical difference acts to block mitochondrial response to the medication, and thwarts the apoptotic cascade.

    The plasma membrane potential of mitochondria in cancers cells has been found to be elevated, in one case it was approximately 60 mv higher than that of control epithelial cells ( Modica-Napolitano and Aprille 1987 ). Elevated mitochondrial membrane potential coincides with Cisplatin resistance in some cancer cell lines ( Dorward and Singh 1996). The high transmembrane potentials of mitochondria are created by a relative electropositivity of the outer membrane and a high negativity of the inner membrane ( Johnson , et. al. 1981). Mitochondrial based apoptotic mechanisms require that the plasma membranes of mitochondria depolarize, resulting in diminution of the transmembrane potential ( Mayer and Oberbauer 2003). Due to their elevated electropotential, mitochondria of cancer cells are going to have to undergo a much greater fall in electrical potential than a normal cell to initiate apoptosis. Further, formation of mitochondrial permeability transition pores ( a key factor in the initiation of mitochondrial based apoptosis) is inhibited as pH decreases (Nicolli , et. al. 1994).

    There are other inhibitors of treatment response within cancer cells. The majority of solid tumors show some if not total resistance to chemotherapy. This resistance is mediated by a local stress response to the microenvironment. When solid tumors are subjected to local conditions of hypoxia, acidic pH and low levels of glucose they react by stopping division. When cell division is arrested in this manner, chemotherapeutic medications become ineffective, that is they fail to induce apoptosis. ( Tomida and Tsuruo 1999 ). In summary, cancer cells are at least partially self protected against chemotherapy initiation of apoptosis through their electrochemistry.

    Pulsed Field Correction of Drug Resistance:

    Correction of cellular stress factors, inhibition of intercellular drug transporter mechanisms, excess acid production, and excess mitochondrial membrane potentials, may be possible through the application of external pulsed EM fields.

    Rosemberg and Korenstein ( 1997 ) found that low voltage induced electro endocytosis could be used to incorporate polysaccharides and – galactosides into cells. A confirmation of this effect was presented by Rols, et. al.( 1995) . When stressed by hypoxic conditions, cancer cells produce compounds that create neoangiogenesis. They also produce more hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF1) , increase expression of hypoxia regulated genes , and metabolically shift to utilize the oxidizing ability within the fatty acid synthesis pathway ( Hochachka, et. al. 2002 ) . Angiogenic responses to hypoxia can lead to increased tumor growth , increased metastasis and poor treatment outcomes ( Duffy, et. al. 2003). Through the application of pulsed EM fields it may be possible to circumvent these stress responses to hypoxia. Di Carlo, et.al. ( 2000), found that EM field exposures protected chick embryo’s from hypoxic insult. More definitively it was found that EM fields could be used to induce increased heat shock protein 70 (hsp70) levels ( Han,et. al. 1998, Carmody, et. al. 2000 ). Hsp70 plays an important part in the protection of tissues to hypoxia ( Rafiee, et. al. 2003 ). Overproduction of hsp70 has been found to protect cancer cells from apoptosis following irradiation and chemotherapy (Witkin, 2001). This must be judged against the consequences of a hypoxic response. The expression of hsp 70 is key to preventing some of the sequences that lead to hypoxic response. More importantly, hsp70 has been linked to anti cancer immune system responses. Apoptosis can result in an immunogenic or non immunogenic response. The immunogenic response is dependent upon the presence of hsp70. Stressed cancer cells express hsp 70 on their plasma membranes , and can initiate an antitumor response by the immune system ( Feng, et. al. 2003). This response can be significant. Mice were inoculated with Colon 26 cells and then treated with EChT and Bleomycin. An 80 to 100 % response rate occurred. When the same mice were reinoculated with Colon 26 cells, the mice rejected the cells and no tumor growth was noted. Injection of a different cancer produced tumors in these same mice (Miyazaki et. al. 2003 ). It has been found that immunogenic response to necrotic and apoptotic tumor cells can be equivalent (Kotera et. al. 2001)

    To clarify, the presence of pulsed EM fields may inhibit many of the undesirable cellular metabolic responses of cancer cells to hypoxia. These responses include; generation of hsp70, inhibition of expression of HIF1, diminish the production of angiogenic proteins, initiation of an anti cancer immune response, and possibly inhibit the activity of the FAS to reduce cellular growth rates. This proposed outcome from the use of pulsed EM fields to inhibit angiogenesis and tumor growth is supported in the literature. Pulsed EM fields were found to inhibit tumor growth with a reduction in the extent of vascularization and increased areas of tumor necrosis compared to controls ( Williams, et. al. 2001).

    In a cancer cell, Na+ ions accumulate inside the cell and K+ ions accumulate outside the cell. Modification and reversal of the local ionic concentrations and can be created by an external AC field. ( Teissie and Tsong 1981). Further , elevated pHi will increase the delta pH across the plasma membrane. It has been found that as a Multi Drug Resistant (MDR) protein is expressed, the delta psi or plasma membrane potential decreases ( Roepe, et. al. 1993). The presence of a pulsed field will circumvent the fall in plasma membrane potential. The energy within a pulsed EM field is capable of being absorbed by plasma membranes at least partially through the process of electro conformational coupling (Tsong,, et. al.,1989) Once absorbed, this energy may be converted to the chemical bond energy of ATP or to the potential energy of concentration gradients ( Tsong, et. al., 1989, Timashev 1981) . EM pulse responses of cellular membrane systems are frequency dependent. This response has been shown in several membrane enzyme systems ( Markin and Tsong 1991, Luchian, et. al., 2002, Ruiz-Gomez, et.al., 2002, Gluck et.al. 2001). Frequencies can also be utilized to affect cell division and growth. Kirson et al.,2004 ,found that low intensity frequencies in the 100 KHz to 300 KHz produced an inhibitory effect on a variety of human and rodent cell tumor lines. This effect was non thermal, and acted through both arrest of cell division and destruction of cells undergoing division.

    Movement of ions and molecules across the mitochondrial membranes is normally accomplished by a chemiosmotic mechanism that is free electron dependent. It is possible that the presence of a pulsed field could supplement, drive, or supplant this mechanism and affect the electropotential gradient of mitochondria. This may result in a diminution of the outer membranes electropositivity, allowing the Voltage Dependent Anion Channels ( VDAC) to open. As the electropotential of the mitochondrial membranes become depolarized the probability of Mitochondrial Permeability Transition Pore ( MPTP ) formation increases. (Petronilli, et. al., 1994). Formation of MPTP’s is a necessary precursor to the initiation of mitochondrial based apoptotic mechanisms. Similar pulsed fields gradients should act to inhibit the expulsion of drug molecules from the cell. The transporters will have to work against an artificially created concentration gradient that seeks to actively bring ions and molecules into the cell.

    Pulsed EM Field Generation:

    From a practitioners viewpoint any instrument that might generate a pulsed EM field must conform to several criteria. Primarily, the device must be safe for the patient, and application must be consistent from patient to patient. Secondarily the device must be easy for the practitioner to utilize. Presently, there is not such a clinical device approved for use by the US FDA. Countries such as Canada have approved pulsed EM field devices that meet this criteria. Below is a picture of a type of device that will produce the necessary non thermal pulsed EM field. A variant of this instrument is presently approved by Health Canada as a transmitted field TENS device for the control of pain. Effective range is approximately 6 meters, typical treatment distance of the patient from the device is 2 meters.

    300 Watt PEP pulsed field transmitter. 27.125 MHz carrier frequency. Pulse rate capability 225 KHz.

    Transmitted Pulse. 10 KHz pulse rate ( 10,000 pulses per second )

    Summary :

    The application of a transmitted pulsed EM field of low potential makes it possible to modify the electrochemistry and physiology of cancer cells. Cellular membrane systems and cellular mitosis are frequency responsive, and can be influenced by pulsed EM fields of varying frequency sequences and duration. Frequency sequences can be created to selectively encourage different metabolic responses. The presence of the external field will produce a change in transmembrane potentials . This change in potentials will create osmotic, ion gating, and endocytotic effects at the cells plasma membranes. Internal and external actions of the field will result in ion/molecular transport, reversal of cellular stress factors, interfere with angioneogeneis, increase DNA transcription rates, produce an immune response, and cause inhibition of drug resistance mechanisms

    It is the hypothesis of this paper that the totality of these effects will be enhanced transport of chemotherapeutic medications into the cells, retention of the medications to achieve high concentration levels, and increased responsiveness to the utilized medication . As the concentration of the medication increases in conjunction with the pulsed field altered cancer cell metabolism, apoptotic effects should become predominant. Transmitted pulsed EM fields when used in conjunction with chemotherapeutic medications will; decrease the treatment dosage substantially, produce an enhanced response to treatment, and have minimal to no toxic side effects.

    For those looking for a book on the use of frequency instruments for therapeutic purposes,  The Rife Handbook of Frequency Therapy  by Dr. Nenah Sylver is the premiere source of information.

     This web site will remain as an information source for those interested in frequency devices.  The authors research and developments have been oriented towards improvement of a frequency device first created and tested in the 1930’s by Dr. Royal Rife, and then lost to humanity for the next 65 years. This web site references a lot of material and data that the author has collected over the years. Much of this is from disconnected sources, each source has revealed and contributed a small amount of information. As a summation, the information  thus available becomes one of the foundation of a new science.   It is the authors intent that this web site may help  provide an insight to the discovery of answers as yet unknown.


    The Rife/Bare instrument utilizes patented methods and techniques to produce a modern day recreation of a relatively unknown therapy device. A device first created and tested in the 1930’s by Dr. Royal Rife, and then lost to humanity for the next 65 years. Most readers have arrived at this web site looking for information relating to health. There is much more to frequency devices than this singular application.

    It is the authors belief that the  future of frequency devices does not lie merely in the manipulation of human physiologic processes.   The worlds human population continues to expand at a rate which is swamping  carrying capacity . Overpopulation has resulted in the destruction of habitats and extinction of  other life forms that share our  fragile home. Frequency devices offer the potential of ; increasing the productivity of existing lands by significantly increasing crop yields , the widening of growing seasons so that extra crops or more varied crops can be grown ,  increasing the production of natural fibers used for clothing, the protection of stored crops from spoilage, improvement in the living conditions of  penned livestock  within their barns, increased production of foods made from molds and bacteria, increased fermentation rates, increased production of antibiotics, and  increased production rates of biofuels just to name some of the more prominent potential uses. Water treatment and purification is yet another use for frequency devices.  By combining the correct frequency, field strength, and field emissions, one can significantly affect the future of our planet. There is a wealth of published papers detailing the effects of pulsed EM fields on these processes.  As an  example – by using a high power Rife/Bare instrument with an ozone and UV producing plasma tube,  one can effectively treat mold infestations and purify  water. Water treatment with UV is not new, but use of UV and ozone emitting tubes that are driven at hundreds,  if not thousands of watts of power offer is new , and offers an untapped potential.  

    To return to Rife. Clinical applications and success with Dr. Rife’s machine extended through the 1930’s, with treatment of a wide variety of micro organism based diseases. The late 1930’s witnessed the founding of the Beam Ray Company to commercially produce the “Rife Ray” device. By the mid 1940’s, the technology behind Dr. Rife’s device was essentially lost. The Beam Ray Company had self destructed, and the scientific accomplishments of Dr. Rife became more urban legend than fact. Dr. Rife’s legacy exists in the estimated 400,000 frequency devices that are presently in use here in the USA. Some of these instruments are very effective with a wide range of applications, others have very  limited capabilities .

    The many intervening decades from Dr. Rife’s time to our present day has seen the discovery of many new cellular physiologic mechanisms. It was not possible until the past few years to explain how Dr. Rife’s instrument functioned and produced physiologic effects. Some people claim that Dr. Rife was able to “blow up” or explode cells and micro organisms. This concept of mechanical resonance – “shake it till it breaks” is highly limited and the actual mechanisms behind the effects of frequency devices are quite biologically complex. This knowledge has led the author to improve upon the original device, and to obtain patents. Patents which protect the unique methods, electrical concepts, and abilities to create  cellular physiologic manipulation, of the modern day Rife/Bare device.

    Dr. Rife’s Device or as some call it, a ” Rife Machine ” is a highly misunderstood instrument. This misunderstanding has arisen in part due to what people expect of the electronics, and the reality of how the device operates . Another set of misunderstandings have arisen from Dr. Rife’s intentions for his device.  Dr. Rife  focused upon the destruction of micro organisms and viruses. The concept of physiologic manipulation using frequencies to affect disease processes was not Dr. Rife’s focus or intent.  The original Rife Instruments  used a  radio transmitter to excite a gas plasma formed within a glass tube.    The emissions from the plasma inside the tube were what produced the devices capabilities.  In other words there are two important aspects to the device. First,  there is the driving electronics, and secondarily, yet most important , the plasma tube. Both the plasma tube and the electronics play a crucial role in the ability of the device to create physiologic effects .

    Rife RF Plasma Instruments have been in production, and introduced into Interstate Commerce since the mid 1930’s. Several different versions were produced in the mid 1930’s through the late 1940’s. These units saw use within medical offices and clinics  in several different states. The latest discovery, a unit  made in 1938, was found in an attic in 2008.   Only a small number of pictures , and an even smaller number of machines have survived to this modern date.  You can see these units here:     Rife Units In Interstate Commerce


    Evidence based medicine is a developing science. If the reader has a biological background, and wonders how to integrate frequency devices into existing practice, they may find this hypothesis of interest. Pulsed Field Assisted Chemotherapy


    As a society, we are primarily oriented towards a chemical explanation of biological processes. Various theories, and applications of those theories, have been applied to the explanation of life, health, and disease. The use of biochemical solutions to disease has served us well. Many people ( including the author!) owe our lives and well being to the use of medications developed using the biochemical model. In spite of successes, the biochemical model is fraught with philosophic traps which have lead to treatment dead ends, and all to often,  toxic side effects for the patient. Something very important has been forgotten in our present biochemical health delivery model . That is, the idea that  treatment should promote a cure. Instead of a cure, treatment is directed towards  long term symptom palliation and case management . It is possible that  the solution to this conundrum may be found in the study of BioElectroChemistry.

    On a fundamental level, all biochemical reactions are Electro Magnetic. Atoms and molecules are composed of charged particles which are in constant motion and vibration. Atomic, Molecular, and bond orbitals are just a way of saying that electrical charges are moving about an axis, within certain distance parameters set by the energetics of the system. Increases of energy within the system produces a corresponding increase of bond vibrational rates and can institute a variety of what are known as chemical reactions. Overlooked, is that charged particles are actually interacting, and charged particles, through the laws of electromagnetism, can easily be manipulated. The energies emitted via the interaction of ” Chemical Bonds ” are emitted as forms of electromagnetism. Heat, light, explosive energies, and so on are all forms of electromagnetism. Recognition of these laws, and their application within our bodies can, and already have, yielded new theories, new medications, and new treatments of human illness.

    As an introduction, the author is going to discuss a few principles of electricity. When read, please begin thinking in terms of the body. Our bodies are a complex matrix of various electrical components. These components include; conductors, semiconductors, resistors, capacitors, inductors, and charge carriers. Charge carriers in our bodies are  ions, proteins, colloids, and crystals. All charges depend upon some sort of conduction system in order for the charges to move. In our bodies, charged particle flow may occur in association with cells, blood vessels, lymphatic ducts, inter and extracellular fluids, or any other biological analog of what might be considered a wire. When one discusses electricity, what one is really talking about is the movement of electrons. Electrons can be gained or lost from an object leaving the object with a net negative or positive charge. These charges can be relative. That is, an object may be negative due to a loss of electrons, but considered as positive in relation to the overall negative charge of it’s surroundings. By gaining or loosing electrons, our bodies utilize many different charge carriers. For example, metallic ions such as K, Na, Mg, and Hyrodgen act as positive charge carriers. Negative charge carriers would be Cl, hydroxal ions, phosphates, sulphates, and electrons to name few.

    When electrons or any charged particles flow along a conductor, an electrical current is produced. This electrical current gives rise to what is known as an electrical field. The higher the number of charges flowing in the conductor, the higher the current. As these charges move in the conductor, a magnetic field is also produced. In short, a charged particle that moves creates both an electrical and magnetic field. The force or push behind the charges moving in the conductor is known as the potential, or as it is more commonly called, the voltage. The higher the voltage, the higher the push or force on the charges. In summation, high voltages give rise to high electrical fields, and high currents give rise to high magnetic fields. The reverse is also true, a high magnetic field can create a large current in a conductor, and a high electrical field can create a high voltage in a conductor.

    On an atomic level, the basis of understanding of biochemical reactions lies in an understanding of electrons. Electrons are of primary importance in the establishment of a particular atoms or compound’s chemical properties. These properties are often expressed as the ionization potential and electron affinity. That is, how easily an atom will gain or lose electrons. In context of this discussion, the application of an external electrical or magnetic field to the body will directly effect all the electrical properties and electrical component (semiconductors resistors, capacitors etc. ) analogs of the body. The end result will be an effect upon the bodies chemical, and thus physiologic activities.

    Well established Scientific methods known as Electrokinetics, utilize the electrical properties of various compounds and charged ions to manipulate and analyze them. A few well known methods are Zeta Potential, pH, Isokinetics, Isoelectrics, Electrophoresis, Dielectrophoresis, Dynamic Eletrophoretic Mobility, Magnetophoresis, Electroacoustics, Magnetoacoustics, Streaming Potential, Sedimentation Potential, Electrostatics, Dynamic Mobility, Entrainment, Coherence, and Resonance ( Magnetic, acoustic, electrical, mechanical ) . There are several electrokinetic methods which are of significant importance to the use of frequency type devices. Some of these are  Electro-Osmosis , Electroendocytosis , Electronic Sonic Amplitude , Electro Conformational Coupling, , Ion Vibration Potential, Colloid Vibration Potential, and Electrostatics.

    The scientific foundation for the utilization, application, understanding, and further development of Electrical, Magnetic, Electro-Magnetic, and Acoustic based frequency devices is very solid.   A large wealth of published papers exists on the ability of externally applied EM fields to manipulate body and cellular physiology. A review of some of the papers found  on the  EMF-PORTAL will certainly be a good way to read more about EMF effects. Application of these known principles to treatment has yielded empirical outcomes and results which are so common as to make the use of frequency devices a growing world wide phenomenon. A phenomena with an estimated 400,000 frequency devices and another 600,000 electrical therapeutic devices in usage just here in the USA. Usage that for the most part, is entirely outside the mainstream medical/pharmaceutical system.

    So what was Dr. Rife’s Device , or as some call it, a ” Rife Machine ” ? Dr. Rife’s device used a radio transmitter with either a fixed or it is thought in some units, a variable carrier frequency , that output a pulsed transmission.  There are several important methods that are utilized to achieve energetic coupling. One technique Dr. Rife used to make the wave of his machine couple to the body was through the use of a special antenna. Instead of using a metal antenna, Dr. Rife’s instrument coupled the pulsed output from the radio transmitter to a gas filled, glass tube with closely opposed electrodes. This special tube is technically known as a Phanotron Diode. The pulsed output energy from the radio transmitter ( the RF wave ) caused the gas to form a plasma and then glow when in operation. The close spacing of the electrodes, coupled with a gas at high pressures results in a phanotron tube being useful for pulse rates well into the MHz regions. One should think of a neon sign tube that is turned on and off, many thousands or millions of times a second for a comparison. The Phanotron Diode was filled with an inert gas ( typically Helium), or mixture of gasses such as argon, neon, and helium. Different gasses give off different colors or spectra. For example, Neon is orange, Argon is purple mauve, and Helium is pinkish white-gray.

    For treatment purposes, Dr. Rife separated the phanotron tube from the rest of the devices equipment, and placed it about 8 to 12 inches from the patient. One of Dr. Rife’s discoveries was that the Phanotron tube was made part of the carrier frequency oscillator circuit. By placing the tube close to the patient, a resonant coupling would occur, and the oscillation frequency of the devices carrier wave would adjust to the electrical properties of the patient.

    Modern Phanotron tube, made in the Ukraine by  Econika , for use with the device.

    The authors patented  instrument, like Dr. Rife’s, utilizes a radio energy excited gas plasma tube as an antenna. A few of the manufacturers web sites making plasma tubes for the device can be found on the Links page. Dr. Rife’s device was a near field instrument, that is, the tube had to be placed within 8 to 12 inches of the patient. The authors patented discoveries have created a device which is a far field instrument, the tube is generally used about 6 feet( two meters ) from the patient. There is evidence, that the wave emitted from the plasma tube of the authors device, if un-impeded by walls, has an effective radius in excess of 30 feet.

    The effective field of up to 30 feet ( 9 meters) , makes the device usable for simultaneous exposures of all objects within the effective field area.  This is the only device in the world capable of such large area exposures. Dr. Rife’s commercial machines, being near field instruments,  were capable of only treating one person at a time.

    The effects of the authors device are entirely non thermal in nature. That is, no heating of tissue occurs in normal operation. As to safety considerations, a well made device easily meets FCC requirements for RF emission safety levels.

    There is a lot of misunderstanding about the plasma tubes used in a Rife/Bare device !! Gas plasma tubes are not primarily RF antennas ! Gas plasma tubes as used in a Rife/Bare device are RF energy converters. A plasma tube converts pulsed RF into other forms of pulsed  energy radiation. This energy is expressed in many different  forms. These forms include; acoustic waves that can extend into the ultrasound regions, light – from near Ultra Violet to well into  the Far Infra Red regions and the generation of heat. It has been posited  that the plasma tube is a very strong emitter of Terrahertz radiation.  Some tubes are created specifically to create ozone, and if mercury is added to a quartz envelope tube, UV radiation may be created. The amount of RF emitted  from a well made device is less than 1 % of the input power to the tube ! A 150 watt transmitter may create less than 1/2 watt of RF emission.  Most of this RF is very broad band extending well into the microwave region, and thus, as in the 150 watt device example, the RF energy in any one harmonic is very minimal. This device is used at a distance of 6 feet, where the measured RF field is almost non detectable.

    In order to understand how the device works it is necessary to discuss a few laws of physics and chemistry. There are multiple manners that the energy emitted from the plasma tube can be absorbed by the body. It must be remembered that the emissions from a plasma tube are very complex and broadband.  The plasma tube is not primarily an RF antenna.  The concept of RF wavelength matching between a radiative source and some absorber of that source emission as the only method of energy transfer or physiologic influence is antiquated.   Those that might dismiss the ability of a Rife/Bare device to produce physiologic effects using solely an RF wavelength method,  are making a simplistic error, for as has been pointed out, almost all RF energy that is input to a plasma tube, is converted into other forms of EM radiation.

    There are several methods of energy transfer that occur with a Rife/Bare device. When energy is emitted from some the plasma tube antenna, it can be absorbed by an object when impedances match. Impedance is a measure of resistance – so when the impedance of the wave emitted from the plasma tube, and that of some part of the body match, energy is transferred or coupled. Impedance is a function that is related to frequency. The device produces not one frequency, but through the phenomena of harmonics, creates many thousands of frequencies simultaneously. Thus, energy transfers easily into a person, and does so through user defined selectivity. That is, by choosing different fundamental operational ( modulation) frequencies, the user chooses and creates different impedances.

    There is a substantial E field around a plasma tube used in a Rife/Bare device .  As previously mentioned, when  a quartz plasma tube is utilized, this e field  is powerful enough to generate ozone.  The pulsed fields emitted from the  plasma tube used in a Rife/Bare device  are emitted as evanescent waves. Evanescent wave coupling can occur between two resonant circuits that are tuned to a fraction of each others wavelength. Closely allied to quantum tunneling, closely coupled resonators are being utilized to transfer power between a transmitter and receiver by inducing standing waves in the an inductor found within the receiver. As discussed earlier, cells, and the human body have electrical component qualities to them, and one of these qualities is that of inductance.  Shifts in the transmitters pulse output rate ( the modulation frequency) can create selective oscillations and standing waves within resonant objects within the body. This effect is often felt physically by the person undergoing exposure to the device. People often will respond that they can feel a particular frequency in an area of their body where there is some sort of difficulty. Only specific frequencies produce this response.

    There is more to the transfer of energy between coupled oscillators, this involves the process of Entrainment.  Entrainment is a Law of Physics, and can be produced through gating the audio frequency of the device. What a fast gate rate does is to induce the effect of entrainment. Entrainment can be defined as :
    “ The tendency for two oscillating bodies to lock into phase so that they vibrate in harmony. It is also defined as a synchronization of two or more rhythmic cycles. The principle of entrainment is universal, appearing in chemistry, pharmacology, biology, medicine, psychology, sociology, astronomy, architecture and more”.

    Entrainment is associated with the phase of oscillation of an object. That is to simplistically say, as an object oscillates,  it is moving up and down at some particular rate. At a particular point in time, the object can be up, down, or or somewhere in between. Entrainment forces two objects to be in phase so that they move in synchrony. That is, they are up at the same time and down at the same time. When the phase of two resonant oscillations match ( in phase ), energy will transfer and summate to the resonant receiver of the transmitted energy. If the phases do not match, ( are out of phase ) the energies of the transmitter and receiver will cancel each other out! Even though they are resonant.

    In other words – if one targets an area of the body, or infectious organism with a frequency that they are resonant to, lacking entrainment, that frequency may be ineffective. The reason is this.; the area of the body or infectious organism has a different phase of oscillation than that of the (frequency ) being generated. The two are not “dancing” ( to use an analogy) in beat to the same frequency! If the external frequencies entrainment rate lacks adequate intensity, or adequate rate, there will be no entrainment by the body or organism to that external frequency ! Recent experiments by the author with entrainment have shown this to be a very powerful effect. Entrainment is often linked with another type of resonance known as Stochastic Resonance.

    Another term has been coined to explain the electromagnetic waves emitted from an RF pulsed plasma tube  . This wave is called a “pseudo sonorous” wave. A soliton wave produced from the ionic discharge of the tube.

    When one uses frequencies to produce physiologic manipulation, the output sequence of the frequencies is important. One must be careful of creating a damping effect by starting at a high frequency and trying to work downwards to lower frequencies. One can “force” a resonant response with enough energy, and then maintain the energy delivered by using a higher Hz frequency to continue forcing effects. Forced resonance is not a true resonance, but rather a response based upon the application of enough energy to set the oscillator in motion.  Think of a child on a swing, one may push faster and faster to force the swing to oscillate higher and at a faster rate. But if the swing is moving very fast and then all you do is push slower, and then slower yet, the  swing will  be damped in it’s range and height of oscillation.

    A Rife/Bare device creates  many thousands of different frequencies through the use of an AM type radio transmitter that is severely overmodulated. That is to say excessive amounts of audio are put onto the carrier wave. Normally such excessive audio, when demodulated would create distortion. By modulating a square audio wave, no demodulation distortion will occur. The demodulated wave form will be identical to the modulated wave form. Overmodulation creates a pulse of RF energy which is electrically shaped so that the rise and fall time of the pulse is very fast ( 1 millionth of a second in the OM-1 transmitter! ).  The plasma tube acts like an electrical mixer which creates harmonics, overtones, and heterodyne products . In a manner, a plasma tube is very much akin to a musical instrument. A string can be set to vibrate at a certain note, but how that note sounds is dependent upon the instrument the string is attached to. The string could be in a piano, a violin, or a guitar and all will sound different even though they play the same note. This difference between the instruments is due to the generation of frequencies( harmonic – overtone – heterodyne ) different from that of the fundamental note.

    Patent Pending Transmitter Output – Rise and Fall Times = 25ns ( billionths of a second )

    Although RF energy is a very minor emission of a plasma tube. Something very special occurs to that RF energy. Due to the shape of the plasma tube -i.e. a cylndrical or round radiator, the traditional hertzian RF wave radiated by a metal antenna, is converted into what is known as a Zenneck Wave. A Zenneck wave is a non hertzian RF wave whose field strength typically drops off as the square root of distance from the tube ( antenna). Published research has shown that the Zennick wave emitted from the tube exists as a non dispersive soliton. Energy is transferred more as a conductance and does not adhere to the inverse square law. This may have effects related to energy transfer via closely coupled oscillators. 

    You can read more about Zenneck waves at these web sites.

    Zenneck Waves

    Electromagnetic Surface Waves

    Once a Zenneck wave has coupled to the body, the audio energy in the wave can be demodulated or stripped off the carrier wave. Think of tuning a radio to 100 on the AM dial, to listen to music. The radio recieves the 1 MHz signal, then demodulates the music. This is what happens in the body. Demodulation can occur at several different places in the body, such as at cell or organelle membranes, interstitial spaces, areas of adjacent but different impedances, and so on. What is important is that the demodulated audio will produce an electrical signal ( voltage ) local to the point of demodulation! If the point of demodulation is a cell membrane, then the electrical charge will occur across the cell membrane. Exposure times at each modulated audio frequency are in minutes. Thus the demodulated voltage is present for at the site of demodulation for minutes at a time! The physiologic consequences of an externally induced electrical charge at the cell membrane can be significant, and is an area of current main stream research.

    The authors  device, as did Dr. Rifes’, relies upon the phenomena of resonance in order to produce many of it’s physiologic effects. Most people think of resonance in terms of a glass breaking when exposed to an audio frequency. A resonant response by an object does not have to be just from stimulation with acoustic frequencies. There are many other types of resonances that can occur. There are resonances to light, radio waves, magnetic waves ( such as used in MRI ), X-Rays and other forms of ionizing radiation. The fundamental physical law that relates to the operation of the device is known as Kirchoff’s Principle. Kirchoff’s principle states: ” The frequency of energy absorbed by a molecule is equal to the frequency of the energy emitted by the molecule “. Kirchoff’s principle is the basis of spectrographic analysis. Spectrographic analysis is used to show the resonant response of chemicals, bacteria, viruses, and objects to a frequency range of vibration. For example, how a molecule or object responds to a range of audio frequencies is known as an acoustic spectrograph. A spectrograph can be made using frequencies from those of the audio region through those of frequencies associated with Radio waves, light, and up through ionizing radiation ( X-Rays, etc. ). Once the energy of the wave emitted from the plasma tube is in the body, it can create physiologic effects by matching the spectral absorption/emission frequencies that the molecules and tissues of the body produce.

    The significance of Kirchoff’s Principle is that the wave emitted from the plasma tube of the device produces spectra that includes those of electrical and magnetic fields, acoustic, RF and light. Simply by changing tubes, gasses, RF carriers, pulse rates and other variables, it is possible to tailor the spectral output of the device to a cell or tissues specific specific spectral resonant point. As a practical application, the system utilizes tubes and RF emission that create extremely wide bandwidths of frequencies. Only the audio modulation frequency is varied. One may thus simultaneously influence multiple resonance frequencies of a cell or organism across many different bands of frequencies!

    Spectral output of a portion of one sideband generated by the plasma tube. In this picture are hundreds of vertical lines, each single vertical line is an individual frequency. All of these hundreds of frequencies are generated simultaneously, and each frequency is harmonically related. Each of these frequencies has a unique phase angle and impedance value within the side band. Changes in the audio frequency will create an entirely different set of frequencies.

    The pulsed energy radiated by the plasma tube, and resultant demodulated electrical/audio pulse is produced by applying different square wave audio frequencies to the transmitter. Audio frequencies are those frequencies that are in the range of our hearing. In fact, the device, although it lacks a loudspeaker, actually sings and audibly emits the audio tone that is being input to it.

    Demodulation can occur at several different places in the body, such as at cell or organelle membranes, interstitial spaces, areas of adjacent but different impedances, and so on. What is important is that the demodulated audio will produce an electrical signal ( voltage ) local to the point of demodulation! If the point of demodulation is a cell membrane, then the electrical charge will occur across the cell membrane. Exposure times at each modulated audio frequency are in minutes. Thus the demodulated voltage is present for at the site of demodulation for minutes at a time! The physiologic consequences of an externally induced electrical charge at the cell membrane can be significant, and is an area of current main stream research.

    The demodulated  wave from the device can produce an acoustic wave, and thus mechanical resonance effects! The various membranes ( plasma, nuclear, mitochondrial, etc. ) of the cell are analogous to a capacitor and will collect electrical charges. A voltage applied across a cell membrane will change the tension and thus curvature of that membrane. A pulsed voltage at a specific frequency will cause the membrane to oscillate as it contracts and relaxes between each electrical pulse. The outer plasma membrane will collect electrical charges that are no shorter than 1 microsecond in length. The intra cellular membranes of the various organelles will continue to collect electrical charges into the low nanosecond range. The pulses produced by the device are generally in the millisecond range, thus ensuring that electrical charges accumulate both on the exterior and interior of the cell.

    The outer membrane of the cell is connected to the cells interior through a tensegrity matrix which is akin to the wires that hold up a suspension bridge. In this case the ” wires ” support the internal components of the cell. Oscillation of the outer membrane will cause internal oscillation of the cell via the tensegrity matrix . Thus, pulsed electrical signals can produce a mechanical resonance effect. Mechanical resonance is created when a small periodic stimulus of the same natural vibration period of a cell, tissue, or even a molecule, is used to produce a large amplitude vibration of the cell,tissue, or molecule. If the induced resonant vibration is intense enough, the cell, tissue, or molecule will be shattered.

    Mechanical stimulation and resonance effects on the interior of cells should have a direct action upon the many different enzymes found within cells. Enzymes rely upon an activation energy in order to initiate catalytic reactions. This activation energy is kinetically based, and may be enhanced through mechanical stimulation of the cell. The rates of enzymatic cellular reactions depend upon the frequency with which an enzyme collides with its substrate. Mechanical stimulation of a cell will produce a mixing of the molecules within a cell and thus increase the number of molecular collisions per unit time. It is also possible that mechanical stimulation may have a ” detangling ” effect on the folded conformation of proteins.

    Plasma Membranes maintain an electrical charge, which is important when discussing infectious disease. Disruption of the normal plasma membrane potentials can lead to upregulation of virulence genes in bacteria, increased susceptibility to infection in the host cells, replication of viruses inside of host cells, activation of dormant viruses, and even reaction/susceptibility to bacterial toxins by host cells. The charging of plasma membranes by an externally applied field may be one of the key aspects of understanding how the Rife/Bare device produces physiologic effects. This is a hypothesis which can be easily evaluated. One could easily test for pre and post exposure membrane potentials, decrease of any increased potential over time, frequency response effects, susceptibility to infection, up and down regulation of virulence genes in pathogenic organisms and so on.

    Present development of the authors device allows for the passage of frequencies over 200,000 Hz! Frequencies above 20,000 Hz are known as ultrasonic. It is possible some dynamic physiologic effects may be found through use of the device in the ultrasound regions.

    So similar is the authors patented device to the operation of Dr. Rife’s machine, that those who have used it, have given the name of the Rife/Bare or R/B device. The author did not name the device such. This name has grown out the respect and benefit the many tens, if not hundreds of thousands of people worldwide, have had from exposure to the device.

    Frequencies for the device come from a variety of sources. Many are empirically derived. That is, from observed responses based on application. A series of spread sheets has been developed that allow one to calculate frequencies using known principles of physics. Please see this link for the free downloads.

    Spread Sheet Calculators

    Other frequencies come from a patent pending theorem discovered by Charlene Boehm. There have been significant positive responses to the utilization of Ms. Boehm’s theorem with the Rife/Bare device. Ms. Boehm has written short explanation of her theorem for the public.

    DNA-RNA Based Frequency Theorem

     One of the methods via which the device produces effects is called electroendocytosis. Electroendocytosis is the electrical enhancement of endocytosis through the application of very weak electrical fields. This process occurs with very weak field strengths of  only 20 to 70 volts per centimeter!  What this means, is that a local electrical field of only a few tens of millivolts needs to be applied across cell membranes to cause effects. Endocytosis is the process whereby cells fold a piece of their outer plasma membrane forming a vesicle around molecules that are too large to be transported across or through the membrane to thus bring the molecule inside the cell.   Exocytosis is the process whereby the vesicle once it has released it’s enclosed molecule returns to and reforms with the plasma membrane. If the process of endocytosis far exceeds the process of exocytosis, the cell will run out of enough plasma membrane to support itself and fail/die.

    Electro-osmosis is the electrical field enhanced action of osmosis. One should think of this as related to active transport of charged ions across the cell plasma membranes. Excessive voltage at the cell plasma membrane will tend to create a reorganization of of the charges that are normally present and cause a flow of ions into or out of the cell. Cells normally maintain a 60 to 100 mv voltage potential between the inner and outer plasma membrane. A cancer cell has only a potential gradient of from only 20 to 30 mv! By adding charges to the cell membrane, the abnormal physiology that cancer cells need to exist and function will become disrupted.

    Electro-osmosis and electroendocytosis seem to be responsible for the reports of enhanced effects from the use of the device concomitantly with chemotherapeutic regimens. There have been very consistent positive reports of the use of the device with low dosage chemotherapy. This is a subject worthy of extensive clinical investigation.

    Traditionally, when the physiologic effects of RF are determined, the scientific community thinks mainly in terms of the field strengths of the electrical and magnetic waves produced by the RF transmitter. RF waves are actually motional magnetic and electrical waves. Each wave ( E & M ) creates a line of force, this line ( an axis ) of force is known as a vector. The combination of the vectors created by EM fields is known as the Poynting vector. Only a few within the scientific community have considered the effects of demodulation of EM waves and their vector resultant at a local ( cellular) level . The Poynting Vector is analogous to what is known as the Lorentz Force. Cells are filled with charged particles, which, as previously mentioned, can be set in motion through mechanical stimulation of the cell membrane. A charged particle, when in motion produces a magnetic field that rotates around the axis of displacement of the particle . The Lorentz force, is the force exerted on a charged particle moving with a certain velocity within an Electro Magnetic field.

    The Poynting vector ( Lorentz Force ) may result in an effect known as Fluctuation Driven Transport (FDT). FDT is a process whereby an external oscillating or fluctuating/pulsed electric field, substitutes for the energy derived by ATP hydrolysis in cells. Inside a cell, FDT can result in actuation of the vectoral transport mechanisms of molecular motors and ion pumps.The use of extreme overmodulation by the transmitter of the device produces a very intense demodulated signal. This intense demodulated signal is the basis of the authors patents, and the method which produces physiologic effects.

    As the resonance targeted micro organisms or abnormal tissue cells are exposed to the minutes long effects of the demodulated wave, they can break apart and create a debris. This debris can often be noticed as a discolored or highly odorous urine. One may also notice a difference in the color and smell of ones stools as the body detoxes. It is thought that this cellular debris acts as a stimulant to the immune system. The debris may act as an antigen causing the production of antibodies. In effect, a form of immunization against the disease may occur.

    Another important method through which the device functions is known as Voltage Dependent Ion Gating ( VDIG ). The ion channels in many types of cells,( especially nerves and muscles ) can be opened through the presence of an external voltage . The author  presently believe this is the primary manner in which the device produces many of the observed physiologic effects on the nervous system. By creating a charge differential on the cell plasma membranes, the device has been able cause pain relief.  VDIG occurs in an electrical field of only 1/10 the intensity necessary to produce electroporation.

    The voltage differential created by the device is thought to produce a gradient flow of ions, primarily calcium, potassium, and sodium, across the cell wall. This results in an imbalanced osmotic pressure which may cause the cell to slowly swell and finally shatter . Shatter just like the picture of the paramecium found at the top of this page.

    Voltage Dependent Ion Gating is frequency dependent, and closely allied with the cells Zeta potential and pH. pH may be manipulated electrically through the process known as EChT or ElectroChemical Treatment. EChT is used to treat tumors through the insertion of needle electrodes into the tumor. A migration of ions ensues, with disruption of cellular membrane potentials, and changes in local pH. This causes the cell to necrose or undergo apoptosis.

    Very fast pulse  Rise and Fall times impacts the resonant cells in a more effective manner. This is because of Faradays Law. An RF wave is a transmitted oscillating magnetic and electrical field. Faradays law states that the induced voltage in an inductor is proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic field. The faster the magnetic field turns on and off ( rise and fall times ) the greater will be the induced voltage.

    Pulse rate of 3000 Hz. Rise/Fall times 1 microsecond. Leading edge spike of less than 4 microseconds duration, and trailing edge spike measured at less than 3 microseconds duration.

    Other methods via which the device produces effects can be found in various published scientific papers relating to the effects of sonic resonances on cells, and the non thermal effects of RF fields on bacteria cultures. Some areas of present interest are magneto- strictive and Widemann effects upon cells. There are numerous research papers and patents involving the use of pulsed electrical, magnetic, and RF fields on micro organisms and tumors which help to explain the devices effects. An interesting patented, clinically tested, and FDA approved product that utilizes specific radio frequencies to up regulate specific genes is the Regensis Device . The Regenesis device will decrease wound healing time by 70% through manipulation of gene expression.

    To review some of these patents and research papers on pulsed fields, go to the Electro-Plasma Digest website. This web site also contains a large number of original letters, pictures, and published articles about Dr. Rife and his machine.

    The author has created a new term for the use of resonant energies to create physiologic effects. This is an acronym of Dr. Rife’s name.

    Resonance Initiated Field Effects

    Electrical Frequency Devices are not new, and are in fact in widespread current usage in Traditional Medical Practice. It is just that few tend to think of these as frequency instruments. The following are just a few of the electrical frequency instruments in present therapeutic medical use.

    Muscle stimulators which relieve pain, reduce spasms and edema, tonify weak muscles, and assist the healing process, run at from 1 to 130 Hz. TENS units are used to block pain run at about 80 to 100 Hz. Interferential Therapy units are a type of muscle stimulator run at 3000 to 4000 Hz. Bio Feedback instruments used to modify behavior and retrain the nervous and muscular systems, run from below 1Hz to about 40 Hz. Bone Growth Stimulators, used to heal broken bones run at frequencies from about 40 to 80 Hz. Deep Brain Stimulators – use implanted electrodes to impart electrical pulses from between 120 and 160 Hz directly to the brain to control involuntary muscular tremors in Parkinson’s disease. Heart Pacemakers use an electrical impulse to regulate the hearts rhythm. These are just a few of the current electrical frequency devices in use.

    The use of the device on disease in humans is worthy of further investigation in a more appropriate clinical manner. Anecdotal reports from constructor – users of the device has shown rather dramatic effects on Herpes Virus outbreaks, Lyme disease, and an assortment of different bacterial infections. Please be aware these reports are anecdotal, and are not claims claims for the devices efficacy. The intent is to encourage the need for further clinical investigation.

    It is time to discuss the effects of frequency devices on cancer. Dr. Rife is associated with a so called “clinical trial” in 1934 wherein his device was used on 16 people with cancer and all recovered. This story is full of holes and questions, for no real documentation exists as to the outcome. Supporting documents exist to the fact Rife’s machine was used, but the protocols and actual treatments are unknown. It is known that at least one person that participated in the use of the device relapsed and was sent by one of key Dr.’s in the machine  trial for surgery. As to “why not use the machine again?”, there remain many questions. One must not forget that in 1934, the diagnosis of cancer was what would be considered as crude by today’s standards. No scans ( MRI, PET, CAT, ) were available. Highly sensitive lab tests did not exist and treatment options were few. Physical diagnosis, a few simple lab tests, and an X-ray were used to confirm the presence or absence of cancer. Treatment was surgery, some supporting medications, and radiation. Being pronounced “cured” in 1934 could be a very different pronouncement in 2009. It seems obvious Rife’s machine was used on the patients, but did the patients also undergo conventional treatment , the machine being merely an adjunct to the patients overall treatment ? Such seems reasonable to the author. Why would a physician give up known conventional treatment to utilize a method they have no familiarity with, and failure of the new treatment would result in a worsening of the patients condition ?  Would a conscientious physician not wish to do the best they could for their patients ?

    All that being said, the devices’ effects, on Cancer needs further investigation. The Rife/Bare device is presently not an actual cure for cancer. Nor is the author aware of any frequency device , regardless of it’s principles of operation that are. If someone with cancer responds to any frequency device, that is ,their tumors may shrink and their lab tests normalize, they must continue exposures. Without continuing exposures, the cancer will return. Even with exposures, sometimes the cancer adapts, and can become non responsive.

    Even though the device is not a cure for cancer, there are people who have significantly exceeded predicted survival times. These people had a terminal prognosis, with so certain an outcome that their Dr. was able to estimate their remaining lifetime. Many who have used the device, are still here, some are now working as productive members of society, in spite of their predicted demise. It is the authors fondest desire for true clinical investigation be undertaken to evaluate level of effectiveness of the device.  From the reports of users, which are no more than anecdotal and certainly not claims of true effectiveness,  the device presently has provided a viable treatment that has both significantly prolonged survival times and increased the quality of life in some, but most certainly, not all, people.

    Please be aware that if a person has a prognosis of only a few weeks to live, and tries a frequency device, the results have been universally poor. The degree of response to frequency devices seems to be directly related to the overall ability of a persons body to respond and rebuild. If there is massive cancerous invasion of various organ systems with associated failure of the organs, the results of exposure are very meager.   There have been anecdotal reports of people responding with multiple metastatic sites where the damage done by the cancer was not severe enough to be immediately life threatening.

     Our bodies often heal sites of prior tumors with scar tissue. Meaning that an organ damaged by cancer may still shows signs of impaired function after the tumor is destroyed.

    For the technically versed, the transmitter should be thought of as an amplitude modulated, diminished carrier , dual side band type.

    The transmitter is not a square wave modulated Continuous Wave ( CW) transmitter! Such transmitters only provide about 25% of their available energy to what are known as sidebands. It is the sidebands that undergo demodulation, and produce the local electrical field. Thus, in a square wave modulated CW transmitter, for every 100 watts of transmitter power, only 25 watts will be available for demodulation.  By using over modulation – one moves the majority of the transmitters power to the side bands, leaving very little carrier power.

     Besides the conversion of the input RF wave into  complex EM emissions  with many individual harmonics, the plasma tube acts like a fast switch. That is, the tube turns on and off at the applied audio frequency. Thus pulse modulating the all the tubes emissions .

    Another way to consider the effects of the R/B device is by a variation in Faraday’s Law. Basically the current induced in an inductor ( our bodies have inductance )can be expressed by this equation.

    Current Induced= Frequency X Length of the Body X Field Strength.

    This equation is important for it means the the power absorbed and generated by the wave within the body is proportional to the size i.e. length of the body. To state this more clearly, the device automatically compensates for a small animal, child, or an adult! One can put a small animal in the field produced by a 200 watt device and not have to worry about over exposure due to the strength of the field!

     Different gasses within the plasma tube produce different spectra, and thus will produce different resonant/physiologic effects. Neon for example is vitalizing, sedating, warming ( due to its Infra Red output), muscle relaxing, and pain relieving. Argon has a very wide spectral emission, and thus is the preferred gas that is used with the device. It is vitalizing, cooling, sedating or stimulating depending on the applied audio frequency. Argon can also be pain relieving, and most importantly ,it has intense devitalizing and in some cases destructive effects on micro organisms.

     A discussion about the device, written by an engineer can be found at this web site.

    This introduction reviews a book which one may use to construct their own functional Rife/Bare instrument. This instrument utilizes patented methods and techniques to produce a modern day recreation of a relatively unknown therapy device. A device first created and tested in the 1930’s by Dr. Royal Rife, and then lost to humanity for the next 65 years.

    Clinical applications and success with Dr. Rife’s machine extended through the 1930’s, with treatment of a wide variety of diseases. The late 1930’s witnessed the founding of the Beam Ray Company to commercially produce the device. By the mid 1940’s, the technology behind Dr. Rife’s device was essentially lost. The Beam Ray Company had self destructed, and the scientific accomplishments of Dr. Rife became more urban legend than fact. Dr. Rife’s legacy exists in the estimated 400,000 frequency devices that are presently in use here in the USA. Some of these instruments are very effective, others have limited capabilities . This book is not the story of how the technological discoveries of Dr. Rife were lost, rather this book – manual is about how you can easily recreate a device that is similar, and in many ways superior to, Dr. Rife’s, yourself.

    The many intervening decades from Dr. Rifes’ time to our present day has seen the discovery of many new electronic theories and technologies. What follows, is an explanation of Dr. Rifes’ instrument that has been learned through research, and the tying together of theories from many different avenues of science. This knowledge has led the author to improve on the device, and to obtain patents which protect the unique methods and electrical concepts that make the device work.


    Evidence based medicine is a developing science. If the reader has a biological background, and wonders how to integrate frequency devices into existing practice, they may find this hypothesis of interest. Pulsed Field Assisted Chemotherapy


    As a society, we are primarily oriented towards a chemical explanation of biological processes. Various theories, and applications of those theories, have been applied to the explanation of life, health, and disease. The use of biochemical solutions to disease has served us well. Many people ( including the author!) owe our lives and well being to the use of medications developed using the biochemical model. In spite of successes, the biochemical model is fraught with philosophic traps. What appears to work well on paper, often does not in application. A medication that should be safe and effective, may only be effective, while also being highly toxic. All too often a newly synthesized compound when tested, is both ineffective and toxic. Something very important has been overlooked in our present biochemical model. The solution is found in the study of BioElectroChemistry.

    On a fundamental level, all biochemical reactions are Electro Magnetic. Atoms and molecules are composed of charged particles which are in constant motion and vibration. Atomic, Molecular, and bond orbitals are just a way of saying that electrical charges are moving about an axis, within certain distance parameters set by the energetics of the system. Increases of energy within the system produces a corresponding increase of bond vibrational rates and can institute a variety of what are known as chemical reactions. Overlooked, is that charged particles are actually interacting, and charged particles, through the laws of electromagnetism, can easily be manipulated.The energies emitted via the interaction of ” Chemical Bonds ” are emitted as forms of electromagnetism. Heat, light, explosive energies and so on are all forms of electromagnetism. Recognition of these laws, and their application within our bodies can, and already have, yielded new theories, new medications, and new treatments of human illness.

    As an introduction, the author is going to discuss a few principles of electricity. When read, please begin thinking in terms of the body. Our bodies are a complex matrix of various electrical components. These components include; conductors, semiconductors, resistors, capacitors, inductors, and charge carriers such as ions, proteins,colloids, and crystals. All charges depend upon some sort of conduction system in order for the charges to move. In our bodies, charged particle flow may occur in association with cells, blood vessels, lymphatic ducts, inter and extracellular fluids, or any other biological analog of what might be considered a wire. When one discusses electricity, what one is really talking about is the movement of electrons. Electrons can be gained or lost from an object leaving the object with a net negative or positive charge. These charges can be relative. That is, an object may be negative due to a loss of electrons, but considered as positive in relation to the overall negative charge of it’s surroundings. By gaining or loosing electrons, our bodies utilize many different charge carriers. For example, metallic ions such as K, Na, Mg, and Hydrogen act as positive charge carriers. Negative charge carriers would be Cl, hydroxyl ions, phosphates, sulphates, and electrons to name few.

    When electrons or any charged particles flow along a conductor, an electrical current is produced. This electrical current gives rise to what is known as an electrical field. The higher the number of charges flowing in the conductor, the higher the current. As these charges move in the conductor, a magnetic field is also produced. In short, a charged particle that moves creates both an electrical and magnetic field. The force or push behind the charges moving in the conductor is known as the potential, or as it is more commonly called, the voltage. The higher the voltage, the higher the push or force on the charges. In summation, high voltages give rise to high electrical fields, and high currents give rise to high magnetic fields. The reverse is also true, a high magnetic field can create a large current in a conductor, and a high electrical field can create a high voltage in a conductor.

    On an atomic level, the basis of understanding of biochemical reactions lies in an understanding of electrons. Electrons are of primary importance in the establishment of a particular atoms or compound’s chemical properties. These properties are often expressed as the ionization potential and electron affinity. That is, how easily an atom will gain or lose electrons. In context of this discussion, the application of an external electrical or magnetic field to the body will directly effect all the electrical properties and electrical component (semiconductors resistors, capacitors etc. ) analogs of the body. The end result will be an effect upon the bodies chemical and thus physiologic activities.

    Well established Scientific methods known as Electrokinetics, utilize the electrical properties of various compounds and charged ions to manipulate and analyze them. A few well known methods are Zeta Potential, pH, Isokinetics,Isoelectrics, Electrophoresis, Dielectrophoresis, Magnetophoresis, Electroacoustics, Magnetoacoustics, Streaming Potential, Sedimentation Potential, Electrostatics, Dynamic Mobility, Entrainment,Coherence, and Resonance ( Magnetic, acoustic, electrical, mechanical ) . There are two electrokinetic methods known as Electro-Osmosis and Electro endocytosis respectively, which are of significant importance to the use of frequency type devices. Some of these terms will be discussed more thoroughly a little farther down in this web page.

    The scientific foundation for the utilization, application, understanding, and further development of Electrical, Magnetic, Electro-Magnetic, and Acoustic based frequency devices is very solid. What is lacking is research. Application of these known principles to treatment has yielded empirical outcomes and results which are so common as to make the use of frequency devices a growing world wide phenomenon. A phenomena with an estimated 400,000 frequency devices and another 600,000 electrical therapeutic devices in usage just here in the USA. Usage that for the most part, is entirely outside the mainstream medical/pharmaceutical system. A shock to many within the mainstream model is that 25% of the United States health care professionals are not medical. Members of the Natural Health Care professions care total nearly 250,000 and care for an approximate 60 to 70 million Americans yearly, and it is these same Americans ( taxpayers & voters) who primarily own and utilize these devices.

    The application of pulsed fields for therapeutic usage relies upon the ability of the body to absorb the field. If you are thinking of purchasing an electrode frequency device of some type, please go to this link. Electrode type frequency instruments are reviewed there.

    Dr. Rife’s Device or as some call it, a ” Rife Machine ” used a variable carrier frequency, pulsed radio transmitter to produce a special wave that was capable of coupling its energy to the human body. There are several important methods that are utilized to achieve energetic coupling. One technique Dr. Rife used to make the wave of his machine couple to the body was through the use of a special antenna. Instead of using a metal antenna, Dr. Rife’s instrument coupled the pulsed output from the radio transmitter to a gas filled, glass tube with closely opposed electrodes. This special tube is technically known as a Phaontron Diode. The pulsed output energy from the radio transmitter ( the RF wave ) caused the gas to form a plasma and then glow when in operation. The close spacing of the electrodes, coupled with a gas at high pressures results in a phanotron tube being useful for pulse rates well into the MHz regions.One should think of a neon sign tube that is turned on and off, many thousands or millions of times a second for a comparison. The Phanotron Diode was filled with an inert gas ( typically Helium), or mixture of gasses such as argon, neon, and helium. Different gasses give off different colors or spectra. For example, Neon is orange, Argon is purple mauve, and Helium is pinkish white-gray.

    For treatment purposes, Dr. Rife separated the phanotron tube from the rest of the devices equipment, and placed it about 8 to 12 inches from the patient. One of Dr. Rife’s discoveries was that the Phanotron tube was made part of the carrier frequency oscillator circuit. By placing the tube close to the patient, a resonant coupling would occur, and the oscillation frequency of the devices carrier wave would adjust to the electrical properties of the patient.

    Modern Phanotron tube, made in the Ukraine by Econika, for use with the device.

    The authors patented, and easily constructed instrument, like Dr. Rife’s, utilizes a radio energy excited gas plasma tube as an antenna. A few of the manufacturers web sites making plasma tubes for the device can be found on the Links page. Dr. Rife’s device was a near field instrument, that is, the tube had to be placed within 8 to 12 inches of the patient. The authors patented discoveries have created a device which is a far field instrument, the tube is generally used about 6 feet( two meters ) from the patient. There is evidence, that the wave emitted from the plasma tube of the authors device, if un-impeeded by walls, has an effective radius in excess of 30 feet.

    Unlike the authors device, the majority of commercial frequency devices now available to the public utilize electrical principles which have no relationship whatsoever to Dr. Rife’s original plasma tube device. Yes, they do work to some degree, but have a limited capability to manipulate the charges and physiology of the body.The manufacturers of many frequency instruments often rely upon the phenomena of ” Credibility Through Association “. That is, they call their devices a ” Rife Machine “, or a ” Rife ” this or that.If considering the purchase of a machine it is paramount to understand what it is you are purchasing. Are you buying a machine which bases it’s claims of effectiveness solely upon name association with a deceased individual? Or are you purchasing a machine which is based upon research, scientific understanding, international patents, and government approval? The technical content of this introduction stands as testament to the scientific principles whereby the authors device produces physiologic effects.

    The effective field of up to 30 feet ( 9 meters) , makes the device usable for simultaneous exposures of groups of people. Exposure of groups in excess of 100 or more people is possible. This is the only device in the world capable of such large group exposures. Dr. Rife’s commercial machines were capable of only treating one person at a time.

    The authors device is simple to construct, one merely follows the directions like baking a cake. For those that might be daunted with construction, Completed Devices are available from licensed suppliers. By using off the shelf components, the instrument goes together easily. One doesn’t have to understand the chemistry behind a cake to make one. The directions are simple and straightforward. Most of the separate parts of equipment that compose the device, simply connect together. In fact, nearly 1/2 of the 5000 plus devices now in existence were self constructed.

    The popularity and effectiveness of the authors device has created a small but growing world wide industry. An industry that is dedicated to both the production of parts and completed devices. Be assured that all parts that are listed in the book have been tested by the author for both reliability and effectiveness. Please see the Links Page for some of the businesses that supply the demand for parts . The book has a full listing of all presently known parts suppliers.

    A better understanding of the Rife Machines’ history and how it came to be lost to humanity can be found in the book by Barry Lynes entitled ” The Rife Report, The Cancer Cure That Worked, Fifty Years of Suppression “. One source for the book is found at this link.

    The Cancer Cure That Worked – link gone

    The effects of the authors device are entirely non thermal in nature. That is, no heating of tissue occurs in normal operation. As to safety considerations, a well made device easily meets FCC requirements for RF emission safety levels.The amount of RF emitted from a well made device travels significantly less distance than the RF wave of a cell phone. Cell phones are placed right next to a persons head. This device is used at a distance of 6 feet, where the measured RF field is almost non detectable.

    In order to understand how the device works it is necessary to discuss a few laws of physics and chemistry. When RF energy is emitted from some source (an antenna), it can be absorbed by an object when impedances match. Impedance is a measure of resistance – so when the impedance of the wave emitted from the plasma tube, and that of some part of the body match, energy is transferred or coupled. Impedance is a function that is related to frequency. The device produces not one frequency, but through the phenomena of harmonics, creates many thousands of frequencies simultaneously. Thus, energy transfers easily into a person, and does so through user defined selectivity. That is, by choosing different fundamental operational ( modulation) frequencies, the user chooses and creates different impedances.

    The creation of many thousands of different frequencies occurs through the use of an AM type radio transmitter that is severely overmodulated. That is to say excessive amounts of audio are put onto the carrier wave. Normally such excessive audio, when demodulated would create distortion. By modulating a square audio wave, no demodulation distortion will occur. The demodulated wave form will be identical to the modulated wave form. Overmodulation creates a pulse of RF energy which is electrically shaped so that the rise and fall time of the pulse is very fast ( 1 millionth of a second in the OM-1 transmitter! ). Rise time is how fast the pulse is formed, and the fall time is how fast the pulse is cut off. The plasma tube acts like an electrical mixer which creates harmonics, overtones, and heterodyne products . Very much akin to a musical instrument. A string can be set to vibrate at a certain note, but how that note sounds is dependent upon the instrument the string is attached to. The string could be in a piano, a violin, or a guitar and all will sound different even though they play the same note. This difference between the instruments is due to the generation of frequencies( harmonic – overtone – heterodyne ) different from that of the fundamental note.

    Something very special occurs to the RF energy emitted by the transmitter within the plasma tube. Due to the shape of the plasma tube -i.e. a cylindrical or round radiator,the traditional hertzian RF wave radiated by a metal antenna, is converted into what is known as a Zenneck Wave. A Zenneck wave is a non hertzian RF wave whose field strength typically drops off as the square root of distance from the tube ( antenna). Published research has shown that the Zennick wave emitted from the tube exists as a non dispersive solution. Energy is transferred more as a conductance and does not adhere to the inverse square law. Different audio frequencies are input to the RF pulse transmitter, and used to produce different physiologic effects. Changes in the square wave audio frequency applied to the transmitter, will produce a corresponding change in impedance values of the Zenneck wave.

    You can read more about Zenneck waves at these web sites.

    Zenneck Waves gone

    Electromagnetic Surface Waves

    Once the Zenneck wave has coupled to the body, the audio energy in the wave can be demodulated or stripped off the carrier wave. Think of tuning a radio to 100 on the AM dial, to listen to music. The radio receives the 1 MHz signal, then demodulates the music. This is what happens in the body. Demodulation can occur at several different places in the body, such as at cell or organelle membranes, interstitial spaces, areas of adjacent but different impedances, and so on. What is important is that the demodulated audio will produce an electrical signal ( voltage ) local to the point of demodulation! If the point of demodulation is a cell membrane, then the electrical charge will occur across the cell membrane. Exposure times at each modulated audio frequency are in minutes. Thus the demodulated voltage is present for at the site of demodulation for minutes at a time! The physiologic consequences of an externally induced electrical charge at the cell membrane can be significant, and is an area of current mainstream research.

    The authods device, as did Dr. Rifes’, relies upon the phenomena of resonance in order to produce many of it’s physiologic effects. Most people think of resonance in terms of a glass breaking when exposed to an audio frequency. A resonant response by an object does not have to be just from stimulation with acoustic frequencies. There are many other types of resonances that can occur. There are resonances to light, radio waves, magnetic waves ( such as used in MRI ), X-Rays and other forms of ionizing radiation. The fundamental physical law that relates to the operation of the device is known as Kirchoff’s Principle. Kirchoff’s principle states: ” The frequency of energy absorbed by a molecule is equal to the frequency of the energy emitted by the molecule “. Kirchoff’s principle is the basis of spectrographic analysis. Spectrographic analysis is used to show the resonant response of chemicals, bacteria, viruses, and objects to a frequency range of vibration. For example, how a molecule or object responds to a range of audio frequencies is known as an acoustic spectrograph. A spectrograph can be made using frequencies from those of the audio region through those of frequencies associated with Radio waves, light, and up through ionizing radiation ( X-Rays, etc. ). Once the energy of the wave emitted from the plasma tube is in the body, it can create physiologic effects by matching the spectral absorption/emission frequencies that the molecules and tissues of the body produce.

    The significance of Kirchoff’s Principle is that the wave emitted from the plasma tube of the device produces spectra that includes those of electrical and magnetic fields, acoustic, RF and light. Simply by changing tubes, gasses, RF carriers, pulse rates and other variables, it is possible to tailor the spectral output of the device to a cell or tissues specific specific spectral resonant point. As a practical application, the system utilizes tubes and RF emission that create extremely wide bandwidths of frequencies. Only the audio modulation frequency is varied. One may thus simultaneously influence multiple resonance frequencies of a cell or organism across many different bands of frequencies!

    Entrainment, is a Law of Physics, and can be produced through gating the audio frequency of the device. Recent experiments with entrainment have shown this to be a very powerful effect. Entrainment is often linked with another type of resonance known as Stochastic Resonance. I have developed a high speed gate for use with the device, which is capable of gate rates in excess of several hundred times per second. You can read more about entrainment and how to construct the gate through this link:

    Entrainment

    Entrainment is associated with the phase of oscillation of an object. That is to simplistically say, as an object oscillates it is moving up and down at some particular rate. At a particular point in time, the object can be up, down, or or somewhere in between. Entrainment forces two objects to be in phase so that they move in synchrony. That is, they are up at the same time and down at the same time. When the phase of two resonant oscillations match ( in phase ), energy will transfer and summate to the resonant receiver of the transmitted energy. If the phases do not match, ( are out of phase ) the energies of the transmitter and receiver will cancel each other out! Even though they are resonant.

    A phase relationship also exists at the RF level. This is found in the sidebands of the RF transmission from the device. The side bands emitted from the device contain harmonic frequencies which are generated at many different phases within the bandwidth of each sideband. Energy thus transfers in phase from the device even without entrainment. Entrainment does intensify the efficiency of the energy transfer! You can see the harmonics in the sidebands of the device on this web page showing Spectral Analyzer Pictures.

    The intensity of the demodulated wave in the authors device on a watt per watt basis, exceeds that of Dr. Rife’s by a factor of almost FOUR TIMES! Dr. Rife’s instrument used a form of modulation wherein the active audio signal component ( energy in the sidebands ) was only about 25% of the total power of the transmitter. Through the process of extreme overmodulation, the device transfers nearly all it’s power into the active part of the RF wave. Thus a 100 watt version of the authors device would take nearly 400 watts from Dr. Rife’s instrument to equal the same demodulated signal strength .

     

    Spectral output of a portion of one sideband generated by the plasma tube. In this picture are hundreds of vertical lines, each single vertical line is an individual freqency. All of these hundreds of frequencies are generated simultaneously, and each frequency is harmonically related. Each of these frequencies has a unique phase angle and impedance value within the side band. Changes in the audio frequency will create an entirely different set of frequencies.

    The Zenneck pulse radiated by the plasma tube, and resultant demodulated electrical/audio pulse is produced by applying different square wave audio frequencies to the transmitter. Audio frequencies are those frequencies that are in the range of our hearing. In fact, the device, although it lacks a loudspeaker, actually sings and audibly emits the audio tone that is being input to it.

    The demodulated Zenneck wave from the device can produce an acoustic wave, and thus mechanical resonance effects! The various membranes ( plasma, nuclear, mitochondrial, etc. ) of the cell are analogous to a capacitor and will collect electrical charges. A voltage applied across a cell membrane will change the tension and thus curvature of that membrane. A pulsed voltage at a specific frequency will cause the membrane to oscillate as it contracts and relaxes between each electrical pulse. The outer plasma membrane will collect electrical charges that are no shorter than 1 microsecond in length. The intra cellular mebranes of the various organelles will continue to collect electrical charges into the low nanosecond range. The pulses produced by the device are generally in the milisecond range, thus ensuring that electrical charges accumulate both on the exterior and interior of the cell.

    The outer membrane of the cell is connected to the cells interior through a tensegrity matrix which is akin to the wires that hold up a suspension bridge. In this case the ” wires ” support the internal components of the cell. Oscillation of the outer membrane will cause internal oscillation of the cell via the tensegrity matrix . Thus, pulsed electrical signals can produce a mechanical resonance effect. Mechanical resonance is created when a small periodic stimulus of the same natural vibration period of a cell, tissue, or even a molecule, is used to produce a large amplitude vibration of the cell,tissue, or molecule. If the induced resonant vibration is intense enough, the cell, tissue, or molecule will be shattered.

    Mechanical stimulation and resonance effects on the interior of cells should have a direct action upon the many different enzymes found within cells. Enzymes rely upon an activation energy in order to initiate catalytic reactions. This activation energy is kinetically based, and may be enhanced through mechanical stimulation of the cell. The rates of enzymatic cellular reactions depend upon the frequency with which an enzyme collides with its substrate. Mechanical stimulation of a cell will produce a mixing of the molecules within a cell and thus increase the number of molecular collisions per unit time. It is also possible that mechanical stimulation may have a ” detangling ” effect on the folded conformation of proteins.

    Plasma Membranes maintain an electrical charge, which is important when discussing infectious disease. Disruption of the normal plasma membrane potentials can lead to upregulation of virulence genes in bacteria, increased susceptibility to infection in the host cells, replication of viruses inside of host cells, activation of dormant viruses, and even reaction/susceptability to bacterial toxins by host cells. The charging of plasma membranes by an externally applied field may be one of the key aspects of understanding how the Rife/Bare device produces physiologic effects. This is a hypothesis which can be easily evaluated. One could easily test for pre and post exposure membrane potentials, decrease of any increased potential over time, frequency response effects, susceptability to infection, up and down regulation of virulence genes in pathogenic organisms and so on.

    Present development of the authors device allows for the passage of frequencies over 200,000 Hz! Frequencies above 20,000 Hz are known as ultrasonic. It is possible some dynamic physiologic effects may be found through use of the device in the ultrasound regions.

    So similar is the authors patented device to the operation of Dr. Rife’s machine, that those who have used it, have given the name of the Rife/Bare or R/B device. The author did not name the device such. This name has grown out the respect and benefit the many tens, if not hundreds of thousands of people worldwide, have had from exposure to the device.

    Frequencies for the device come from a variety of sources. Many are empirically derived. That is, from observed responses based on application. A series of spread sheets has been developed that allow one to calculate frequencies using known principles of physics. Please see this link for the free downloads.

    Spread Sheet Calculators

    Other frequencies come from a patent pending theorem discovered by Charlene Boehm. There have been significant positive responses to the utilization of Ms. Boehm’s theorem with the Rife/Bare device. Ms. Boehm has written short explanation of her theorem for the public.

    DNA-RNA Based Frequency Theorem

    The electrical signal that is generated from the demodulated wave of the authors device occurs local to the point of demodulation! This electrical signal/pulse is present for minutes at a time. What this means, is that a local electrical field of only a few tens of millivolts needs to be applied across cell membranes to cause effects. One of the methods via which the device produces effects is called electro endocytosis. Electro endocytosis is the electrical enhancement of endocytosis through the application of very weak electrical fields. This process occurs with field strengths of from 20 to 70 volts per centimeter! Endocytosis is the process whereby cells fold a piece of their outer plasma membrane around molecules that are too large to be transported across or through the membrane. A small vesicle is formed around the molecule. Exocytosis is the process whereby the vesicle once it has released it’s enclosed molecule returns to and reforms with the plasma membrane. If the process of endocytosis far exceeds the process of exocytosis, the cell will run out of enough plasma membrane to support itself and fail/die.

    Electro-osmosis is the electrical field enhanced action of osmosis. One should think of this as related to active transport of charged ions across the cell plasma membranes. Excessive voltage at the cell plasma membrane will tend to create a reorganization of of the charges that are normally present and cause a flow of ions into or out of the cell. Cells normally maintain a 60 to 100 mv voltage potential between the inner and outer plasma membrane. A cancer cell has only a potential gradient of from only 20 to 30 mv! By adding charges to the cell membrane, the abnormal physiology that cancer cells need to exist and function will become disrupted.

    Electro-osmosis and electroendocytosis seem to be responsible for the reports of enhanced effects from the use of the device concomitantly with chemotherapeutic regimines. There have been very consistent positive reports of the use of the device with low dosage chemotherapy. This is a subject worthy of extensive clinical investigation.

    Traditionally, when the physiologic effects of RF are determined, the scientific community thinks mainly in terms of the field strengths of the electrical and magnetic waves produced by the RF transmitter. RF waves are actually motional magnetic and electrical waves. Each wave ( E & M ) creates a line of force, this line ( an axis ) of force is known as a vector. The combination of the vectors created by EM fields is known as the Poynting vector. Only a few within the scientific community have considered the effects of demodulation of EM waves and their vector resultant at a local ( cellular) level . The Poynting Vector is analgous to what is known as the Lorentz Force. Cells are filled with charged particles, which, as previously mentioned, can be set in motion through mechanical stimulation of the cell membrane. A charged particle, when in motion produces a magnetic field that rotates around the axis of displacement of the particle . The Lorentz force, is the force exerted on a charged particle moving with a certain velocity within an Electro Magnetic field.

    The Poynting vector ( Lorentz Force ) may result in an effect known as Fluctuation Driven Transport (FDT). FDT is a process whereby an external oscillating or fluctuating/pulsed electric field, substitutes for the energy derived by ATP hydrolysis in cells. Inside a cell, FDT can result in actuation of the vectoral transport mechanisms of molecular motors and ion pumps.The use of extreme overmodulation by the transmitter of the device produces a very intense demodulated signal. This intense demodulated signal is the basis of the authors patents, and the method which produces physiologic effects.

    As the resonance targeted micro organisms or abnormal tissue cells are exposed to the minutes long effects of the demodulated wave, they can break apart and create a debris. This debris can often be noticed as a discolored or highly odorous urine. One may also notice a difference in the color and smell of ones stools as the body detoxes. It is thought that this cellular debris acts as a stimulant to the immune system. The debris may act as an antigen causing the production of antibodies. In effect, a form of immunization against the disease may occur.

    Another important method through which the device functions is known as Voltage Dependent Ion Gating ( VDIG ). The ion channels in many types of cells,( especially nerves and muscles ) can be opened through the presence of an external voltage . I presently believe this is the primary manner in which the device produces many of the observed physiologic effects on the nervous system. By creating a charge differential on the cell plasma membranes, the device has been able cause pain relief, for which it is now certified for use by Health Canada. VDG occurs in an electrical field of only 1/10 the intensity necessary to produce electroporation.

    When the demodulated voltage affects the membranes of other types of cells that are subject to VDIG, then some very dramatic physiologic effects become possible. The voltage differential created by demodulation is thought to produce a gradient flow of ions, primarily calcium, potassium, and sodium, across the cell wall. This results in an imbalanced osmotic pressure which may cause the cell to slowly swell and finally shatter . Shatter just like the picture of the paramecium found at the top of this page.

    Voltage Dependent Ion Gating is frequency dependent, and closely allied with the cells Zeta potential and pH. pH may be manipulated electrically through the process known as EChT or ElectroChemical Treatment. EChT is used to treat tumors through the insertion of needle electrodes into the tumor. A migration of ions ensues, with disruption of cellular membrane potentials, and changes in local pH. This causes the cell to necrose or undergo apotosis.

    Below is an oscilloscope picture taken of the output wave from the device. The wave was generated by a plasma tube excited by a 300 watt radio transmitter, operating at 3000 pulses per second. The pulse envelope, has both leading and trailing edge electrical spikes of less than 4 micro (millionths!) seconds in width. Modifications which are listed in the book produce extremely fast rise and fall times of the pulse envelope. Rise and Fall times under 3 microseconds (millionths of a second ! ) are typical. Such fast rise/fall times create a stronger wave that impacts the resonant cells in a more effective manner. This is because of Faradays Law. An RF wave is a transmitted oscillating magnetic and electrical field. Faradays law states that the induced voltage in an inductor is proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic field. The faster the magnetic field turns on and off ( rise and fall times ) the greater will be the induced voltage. Another factor is presently hypothesized from Newton’s second law of motion. This will not be discussed here, but the pulse envelope shape may have much to do with the ability to impart force ( a shock wave?) or energy into a cell or tissue.

     

    Pulse rate of 3000 Hz. Rise/Fall times 1 microsecond. Leading edge spike of less than 4 microseconds duration, and trailing edge spike measured at less than 3 microseconds duration.

    Other methods via which the device produces effects can be found in various published scientific papers relating to the effects of sonic resonances on cells, and the non thermal effects of RF fields on bacteria cultures. Some areas of present interest are magneto- strictive and Widemann effects upon cells. There are numerous research papers and patents involving the use of pulsed electrical, magnetic,and RF fields on micro organisms and tumors which help to explain the devices effects. An interesting patented, clincally tested, and FDA approved product that utilizes specific radio frequencies to up regulate specific genes is the Regensis Device . The Regenesis device will decrease wound healing time by 70% through manipulation of gene expression.

    To review some of these patents and research papers on pulsed fields, go to the Electro-Plasma Digest website. This web site also contains a large number of original letters, pictures, and published articles about Dr. Rife and his machine.

    Electro-Plasma Digest

    The author has created a new term for the use of resonant energies to create physiologic effects. This is an acronym of Dr. Rife’s name.

    Resonance Initiated Field Effects

    Electrical Frequency Devices are not new, and are in fact in widespread current usage in Traditional Medical Practice. It is just that few tend to think of these as frequency instruments. The following are just a few of the electrical frequency instruments in present therapeutic medical use.

    Muscle stimulators which relieve pain, reduce spasms and edema, tonify weak muscles, and assist the healing process, run at from 1 to 130 Hz. TENS units are used to block pain run at about 80 to 100 Hz. Interferential Therapy units are a type of muscle stimulator run at 3000 to 4000 Hz. Bio Feedback instruments used to modify behavior and retrain the nervous and muscular systems, run from below 1Hz to about 40 Hz. Bone Growth Stimulators, used to heal broken bones run at frequencies from about 40 to 80 Hz. Deep Brain Stimulators – use implanted electrodes to impart electrical pulses from between 120 and 160 Hz directly to the brain to control involuntary muscular tremors in Parkinson’s disease. Heart Pacemakers use an electrical impulse to regulate the hearts rhythm. These are just a few of the current electrical frequency devices in use.

    The authors device has demonstrated many different physiologic effects from it’s usage. Using known frequencies, exposure often causes the subject to fall to sleep, especially if the subject is extremely ill, or is emotionally distraught. Another aspect of the device is its ability to produce an extreme vitalizing effect, which i believed related to the influence of extra charges within the body. This is somewhat related to the concept of Acupuncture wherein body energies are moved about to establish a balanced state.

    There have consistently been very encouraging reports of the devices effects on the symptom’s of people suffering with Fibromyalgia. These informational reports from users are not claiming proved efficacy. There have been very encouraging reports with both Osteo and Rheumatoid arthritis. The device does not reverse the destructive effects of these diseases. Rather it seems to relieve the pain, inflammation, stiffness, and to some degree the lack of mobility associated with the damaged joints. Effects from a single exposure can last from several hours to a few weeks. Daily exposures produce optimal effects in these conditions. From user reports, frequent exposure has a cumulative effect and has contributed significantly to the afflicted’s quality of life.

    The author has had seasonal viral infections just like most of us. The difference is that he has been consistently able to clear most of these within 12 hours after an exposure. The author is not making claims here about the treatment of virally based human disease. What is being said, is that instead of suffering for two to three weeks, the author recovered significantly faster .

    The use of the device on disease in humans is worthy of further investigation in a more appropriate clinical manner. Anecdotal reports from constructor – users of the device has shown rather dramatic effects on Herpes Virus outbreaks, Lyme disease, and an assortment of different bacterial infections. Please be aware these reports are anecdotal, and are not claims claims for the devices efficacy. The intent is to encourage the need for further clinical investigation.

    The devices’ effects, on Cancer needs further investigation. This device is presently not an actual cure for cancer. Nor is the author aware of any frequency device , regardless of it’s principles of operation that are. If someone with cancer responds to any frequency device, that is ,their tumors may shrink and their lab tests normalize, they must continue exposures. Without continuing exposures, the cancer will return. There seems to be a residual type of pre-cancer cell that once one stops exposures, allows the cancer to come back.

    Even though the device is not a cure for cancer, there are people who have significantly exceeded predicted survival times. These people had a terminal prognosis, with so certain an outcome that their Dr. was able to estimate their remaining lifetime. Many who have used the device, are still here, some are now working as productive members of society, in spite of their predicted demise. From the reports of users, the device presently seems to provide a viable treatment that has both significantly prolonged survival times and increased the quality of life in some, but most certainly,not all, people.

    Please be aware that if a person has a prognosis of only a few weeks to live, and tries a frequency device, the results have been universally poor. The degree of response to frequency devices seems to be directly related to the overall ability of a persons body to respond and rebuild.If there is massive cancerous invasion of various organ systems with associated failure of the organs, the results of exposure are very meager. But there have been reports from people with multiple metastatic sites that have responded well to the device.These people responded, as the damage done by the cancer was not severe enough to be immediately life threatening. Further our bodies seem to heal sites of prior tumors with scar tissue. Meaning that an organ damaged by cancer may still shows signs of impaired function after the tumor is destroyed. It must pointed out, that treatment protocol is not fully developed for cancer, and any use of the device is done at the users own risk.

    The book, along with the contents of this web page, contains all that the authors knowledge , no construction or operational aspects of the device have been withheld. This device can be constructed, and produce what some may consider dramatic physiologic effects, by following the instructions in the book. For those that would like to purchase a ready made device

    The instrument is a solid state device, which makes the parts freely available and construction simple. As a first step in construction, the book shows you how to easily modify the primary transmitter ( a common CB radio ). This modification produces; a greater bandwidth, more harmonics that will fit in the widened bandwidth, and an RF pulse.These three factors taken together are then output into a linear amplifier which lacks any harmonic suppression. For the technically versed, the transmitter should be thought of as an amplitude modulated, diminished carrier , dual side band type.

    The device is not a square wave modulated CW transmitter! Such transmitters only provide about 25% of their available energy to what are known as sidebands. It is the sidebands that undergo demodulation, and produce the local electrical field. Thus, in a square wave modulated CW transmitter, for every 100 watts of transmitter power, only 25 watts will be available for demodulation.

    The output from the linear amplifier results in a 10 to 25 fold power increase of both the audio fundamental and all the harmonics present . The final 140 to 250 watt output from the linear amplifier is then fed into an Antenna Tuner which is connected to a Plasma Tube.The Antenna Tuner matches the RF and the Plasma Tube creating dramatic increases in the units efficiency.

    The use of a Plasma Tube is the final vital component part necessary to the devices operation. Besides the conversion of the input RF wave into a complex Zenneck wave with many individual harmonics, the tube acts like a fast switch. That is, the tube turns on and off at the applied audio frequency. Thus modulating the light energy. Measurements with an ultrasound detector have shown the the glass envelope of the tube emits an ultrasonic spherical field. This field extends in an envelope about 2 feet from the tube. These ultrasonic waves are created by a ringing of the glass, induced by the tube acting as a switch. It is presently hypothesized that this ultrasonic field is partially responsible for some of the invitro testing effects Dr. Rife is noted for. Test tubes or petri dishes are not good antennas for a transmitted RF based wave! But at 12 inches from a phanotron tube, test tubes and petri dishes are being affected by a resonant ultrasonic wave.

    The various waves emitted from the plasma tube creates an evenly distributed field that has excellent whole body penetration. To understand how the plasma wave works, one must think in terms of tissue saturation or permeation. The wave passes easily through the body, but as it does, the audio or resonant frequency portion is stripped off ( demodulated). The deeper the wave penetrates, the less audio that will be available. Present modified transmitters produce over 40 watts of modulated audio energy before being amplified. This assures a surplus of energy which is sufficient to work with all sizes of people.

    Another way to consider the effects of the R/B device is by a variation in Faraday’s Law. Basically the current induced in an inductor ( our bodies have inductance )can be expressed by this equation.

    Current Induced= Frequency X Length of the Body X Field Strength.

    This equation is important for it means the the power absorbed and generated by the wave within the body is proportional to the size i.e. length of the body. To state this more clearly, the device automatically compensates for a small animal, child, or an adult! One can put a small animal in the field produced by a 200 watt device and not have to worry about over exposure due to the strength of the field!

    The effects of different types of glass, tubes, and Noble Gasses are discussed in the book. Different gasses produce different spectra, and thus will produce different resonant/physiologic effects. Neon for example is vitalizing, sedating, warming ( due to its Infra Red output), muscle relaxing, and pain relieving. Argon has a very wide spectral emission, and thus is the preferred gas that is used with the device. It is vitalizing, cooling, sedating or stimulating depending on the applied audio frequency. Argon can also be pain relieving, and most importantly ,it has intense devitalizing and in some cases destructive effects on micro organisms.

    This machine, produces effects and results that when when judged against current health care methodologies appear somewhat unbelievable. A discussion about the device, written by an engineer can be found at this web site.

    Evaluation Letter

    Public postings on the use of frequency devices is found at The Rife Forum. Here you will find a variety of different public forums relating to the many different facets of RIFE devices and therapy.

    ” Resonant Frequency Therapy – Building the Rife/Bare Device ” contains 23 short illustrated Chapters covering; the development, full construction, and operation of the device. As a true bonus a set of audio treatment frequencies taken from the Plasma Tube Rife Device once owned by an M.D. in the mid to late 1950’s is included. This Dr.made accurate measurements of the treatment frequencies of his machine prior to the machines demise. Pictures of an actual Rife Ray tube and Beam Ray device produced in 1947 are also included. Considerable space is taken to explore the transmitters; basis of operation, Plasma Tubes, noble gasses, and problems inherent in operation. Attention is given to details in construction that make the process relatively easy. Two separate devices are discussed, a low power device that does not need a linear amplifier, and a high power device that utilizes the linear amplifier.

    The authors does not sell completed machines or individual parts for the machines. Completed machines, and ready to assemble parts kits built under license to the authors electrical specifications are available from sources found on this link.  The licensure contract ensures that reliability and service to the customer is paramount.

    A complete list of individual parts suppliers for those that would like to construct their own device, is given in the book. All parts are easily available ready made off the shelf. No one part is overpriced, or difficult to obtain. All parts have both; multiple redundancies, and suppliers, letting you mix and match as you desire . Minimal tools such as a screwdriver, soldering gun, side cutters, and the like are necessary for construction. No expensive electrical test equipment is required. The only electrical testing instrument necessary is an easy to use digital multimeter which costs about 40 dollars.

    The author has labored to produce a book that is understandable by those not versed in electronics, as many readers who would otherwise be interested, might feel daunted by unknown electronic complexities. Through a series of simple explanations, the reader will be guided through the technical aspects of the devices operation.

    An Understanding Of The Electrical Theory Of How The Device Works Is Not Necessary For The Devices Construction !

    Actual construction time is about four hours including some parts chasing. Most of the parts are available with only a phone call, and once acquired, just connect together. It is realized that the foregoing explanation may be intimidating to many people whom have had no experience with electronic devices outside of maybe turning a TV or radio on and off. Once assembled however,the device is very easy to operate. The device is designed so that it broadcasts on a radio band allocated for use by the FCC for Industrial, Scientific, and Medical Devices (27.12 Mhz which is CB channel 14). Very little RF energy is actually radiated from the device. In doing microscopic testing, the authod operates the device within 5 feet of over 3000 dollars in electronics, including a TV, video cameras, VCR’s, and oscilloscopes with minimal to no interference. We live in the information age, and now that information so long forgotten, so long suppressed, can be yours.

    This device is for real, as are the effects of its use. Construction should not be undertaken without some consideration as to how the device will be utilized. The use of this device should be for experimental and investigative purposes only. This book opens a new technology to humanity, and the material within the book has been used by several people to date to create entirely new classes of frequency devices.

  • Pictures of an original 1947 Rife device!

    Pictures of an original 1947 Rife device!

    This unit was manufactured in San Diego California for a Dr. in 1947. The large phanotron tube for it was made in Los Angeles. It was in constant use until the Dr.s death a few years ago. This device is very similar to a recently discovered 1939 unit. The 1939 unit has a fixed carrier frequency of about 4.6 Mhz. There are two other primary harmonics within the carrier of 2.15 and 9.09 Mhz. The carrier is Amplitude Modulated using a Hewlett-Wein Bridge Oscillator. Controls for the Hewlett oscillator can be seen on the front of the device. The knob on the Left changes the frequency band, while the knob in the center adjusts the audio frequency. Frequency range is from 16 Hz to 200 KHz. The knob on the Right changes the amplitude, or audio power level. Optimum effects are found using 100 % modulation, and not overmodulation. Sine wave modulation, and not square wave modulation is used.

    The output wave of the device is gated at the AC line voltage frequency. For the USA, this would be 60 Hz. Each series of pulses within the gated envelope, is composed of a damped wave train. The three harmonics of 2.15, 4.6 ,and 9.09 are all modulated. Damped wave transmitters are now outlawed by all countries via international treaties.

    The plasma tube behaves as an active part of the circuit, and when placed close to the patient, couples the field to the patient. A curiosity is that frequencies utilized by this device are TEN TIMES the frequency that is presently used. For example, this device uses 21275 Hz instead of 2128 Hz. Please visit this web site for a more in depth description of the device.
