Frequently Asked Questions

Royal Raymond Rife was an MD American inventor known for his groundbreaking work in the field of bioelectronic medicine. Rife's research and work was centered around all living organisms having their own unique frequency. He discovered that diseases, particularly those caused by microorganisms like bacteria and viruses, could be eradicated by exposing these pathogens to specific frequencies that matched their resonant frequency, ultimately causing them to disintegrate.

Rife developed an advanced optical microscope, known as the Rife Microscope, which was capable of magnifying specimens much more than any other microscope of his time. This allowed him to observe live microorganisms and study their behaviors in real-time. Based on his observations, he invented the Rife Frequency Generator, a device designed to emit frequencies that could destroy harmful pathogens without harming the surrounding tissues.  To this day, Rife’s work is still considered to be revolutionary.

 A Rife Machine is a frequency generator that produces precise electrical signals at various frequencies. Every living organism, everything in the the human body, including diseases are composed of energy and vibrates at its own unique frequency.  Imbalances or disruptions in these natural frequencies can lead to diseases.  Rife's work was centered around diseases and viruses, could be eradicated by exposing them to specific frequencies that matched their resonant frequency, ultimately causing them to disintegrate. Royal Raymond Rife, an MD in this field, created and used frequency generators to emit specific frequencies, targeting and eliminate harmful microorganisms, bacteria and viruses, by resonating with their unique frequencies, causing them to disintegrate.  Rife's Frequency Machine/Generators device was designed to emit frequencies that could destroy harmful pathogens without harming the surrounding tissues.  By Rife applying the right frequency, the "Mortal Oscillatory Rate" (MOR) was possible, causing the pathogen to oscillate and break apart, effectively killing it without harming the surrounding tissues. Rife's frequency machine treatment had a high success rate, particularly in cases of cancer, which he believed was caused by a virus he identified as the "BX" virus. 

If you’re seeking a holistic approach to health, one that addresses the root causes of illness rather than just the symptoms, you may want to consider the transformative potential of a Rife’s Frequency Generator.

Rife Machines are Gaining Momentum Again.

Despite suppression attempts in the mid-1900s, Rife technology never fully disappeared. Thanks to surviving blueprints, frequency lists, and recovered notes from Rife’s colleagues, new generations of engineers and healers began rebuilding and refining these devices from the 1950s onward. Today’s Rife-style frequency machines are manufactured for professionally or home use.  

The resurgence of interest in Rife is part of a global shift toward frequency and energy medicine. Scientific fields and Healing fields are validating what Rife discovered nearly 100 years ago: the body's responds to frequencies.  Documentaries, public research, and testimonials from frequency users continue to fuel the growing popularity of this once-hidden science. 

Even though the FDA restricts claims of medical efficacy, Rife-style frequency generators are legally sold for research and experimental use, and many are designed to be non-invasive wellness tools. 

It came from a 10-year search to determine how Dr. Rife's machines worked and the frequencies he used on the various microorganisms.  This report is for anyone who really wants to know how Dr. Rife's machines worked.

From the 1920s to the 1980s Dr. Royal Rife’s frequency technology evolved from cutting-edge microscopy in the 1920s to high-powered RF plasma machines by the mid-1930s. His instruments were used successfully by doctors to treat serious diseases, including cancer, with documented cases of complete remission. 

The timeline below outlines the progression of Rife's instruments and their clinical application over six decades.

Timeline Overview: Rife Instruments & Frequency Development

1920s – Discovery Phase

• Rife invents the Universal Microscope, achieving up to 60,000x magnification.

What Are Some Protocols They Followed?

While exact protocols varied by practitioner and condition, most followed these common patterns:

• Targeted Frequencies: Using M.O.R.s (Mortal Oscillatory Rates) based on Dr. Rife’s laboratory identification of specific organisms. 
• Plasma Delivery: Ray tube broadcast for deep tissue and systemic infection. 
• Session Duration: 3–15 minute sessions per frequency, multiple times per week. 
• Detox Support: Many combined frequency therapy with bowel cleansing, hydration, and mineral supplementation to aid detoxification. 
• Adjunctive Therapies: Some added homeopathy, herbs, and hydrazine sulfate for cancer.

Did You Know? Several of these practitioners protected their machines and frequency lists by hiding them in private collections, passing them down to students, or recreating them from memory, ensuring Rife's legacy never truly disappeared.

• Hand, Foot, and Sticky Electrodes: Electrodes deliver current through the body. Efficient energy conduction through skin contact. Hand‑electrodes are direct‑contact electrodes placed in the user’s palms with damp conductivity covers.  Foot-electrodes are are direct‑contact electrodes placed under the feet with damp conductivity covers. Sticky Electrodes can be placed anywhere on the body.  Most frequency generators have two to four hookups, allowing you to treat the whole body at once, the hand electrodes should be plugged into the two red receptacles labeled “Pos” (Positive+). The foot electrodes should be plugged into the two black receptacles labeled “Neg” (Negative -). If you desire to run frequencies with only one set of electrodes (hand or foot), you must plug one hand electrode into one of the red cables and then into the red plug-in on the generator, labeled “Pos” (Positive +), then the other hand electrode will plug into one of the black cables and then into the black plug-in labeled “Neg” (Negative -). It is your preference whether to use both the hand electrodes and the foot electrodes simultaneously every time. If there is any doubt use both the hand electrodes and the foot electrodes together. Use sticky electrode pads the same way.
   
• Plasma Tubes: Plasma tubes broadcast frequencies through air. Plasma tubes generates and emits frequencies hands free and wirelessly. Enable full‑body exposure, hands free and easier usage, with the high power.
  

No there is no scientific proof that the Piezoelectic crystals produce any frequency output or electricity output through them. Many people have purchased "Piezoelectic Crystal" filled glass hand-cylinders believing the false claims they are superior to Metal hand-cylinders. Stainless Steel Electrodes with Damp Covers allows the highest conductivity, frequency range, and power output.        Learn More
