Desperate times call for desperate measures. In my search for better health I discovered the Rife Resonator. I heard about it from a family friend (as it usually happens with these ‘alternative’ treatments), who had suffered from chronic bladder infections, and was cured by the Rife Resonator. So I used it in preperation for transplant. I can’t say whether it worked or not, but did I some research and discovered some interesting info.

The Rife Resonator was developed by Royal Ramond Rife, who was born in 1888 and died in 1971 from a combination of Valium and alcohol. Rife claimed to have documented the precise frequencies which destroyed specific organisms, and claimed that many, if not all, contagious diseases could be cured using this radiation treatment, using frequencies. Treatment consists of holding on to two hand held cylinders or placing your feet onto two plates, and having an electric current run through your body, at the frequency of the specific germ or illness. It was developed after the idea of Albert Abrahams that “…every medical condition was caused by an organism that had a specific frequency - by building a machine to generate and beam that frequency back into the body it would be destroyed, much as an opera singer can shatter a glass.”

According to an article on the Rife website, it cures cancer…”It has been a secret for many years –more than 50 years in fact. It is a secret that is a shame of the medical profession and another example of complacent press, another example of a scientific conspiracy that resembles more a medieval guild protecting its financial interests than a profession dedicated to public service, and another example of a political system afraid to promote the public good when it clashed with powerful elites.” “In a word, the American medical and political “establishment” are guilty of gross misconduct.” ” Others have followed Rife and have confirmed different aspects of his theory, but since they are few in number and are promoting a cause contrary to the medical establishment’s approved philosophy, they are not supported. Even publishing their findings is difficult if not impossible because of the dominant medical orthodoxy which has reigned since the 1930s!”

A South African site that sells the Rife Resonator claims that “The benefits of owning a Rife Resonator far out weigh the costs...you simply cannot afford to be without it.” They supply Rife Resonators world-wide.

However, according to Wikipedia “Rife’s treatment has been unanimously condemned as worthless by mainstream scientists, and “Rife devices” have been blamed for the deaths of cancer sufferers who have used them in place of medical treatment”. An article in the Sydney Morning Herald said “Although unanimously condemned as worthless by mainstream scientists and banned in at least two American States, the highly profitable Rife industry is flourishing in Australia because of a lack of effective regulation, says John Dwyer, the head of medicine at Prince Henry and Prince of Wales teaching hospitals in Sydney.” and “The most-publicised death to date was that of Liam Williams-Holloway, a child on New Zealand’s South Island, who was being treated with radiotherapy at a hospital in Dunedin for cancer of the jaw. Last year, there was a public uproar when the boy was taken from the hospital by his parents and treated with a Rife machine at the Rainbow Health Clinic in Rotorua.”

So what do we believe? The scientists who condemn it or the people who swear by it? I don’t know much about science, but the concept actually makes a bit of sense, at least not like the crazy kind of alternative medicine like crystal healing etc.
