With the assistance of Dr. Arthur I. Kendall, using a special medium Kendall had developed for culturing virus, they succeeded in culturing the BX virus. They had little success at first until Rife accidently left a tube in the glow of an ionzing lamp. He noticed the tube had clouded, indicating activity. Then they they performed the culture in a partial vacuum, or anaerobic environment and stimulated them with the ionizing light. Their work was the first successful culturing of virus outside a living host.

Rife extracted the cancer virus from an "unulcerated, human breast mass". He filtered, cultured and recultured these over 10 times over a two hundred and forty hour period. They injected the last generation culture into the breast region of a live rat. The rat would inevitably develop a tumour. Rife would then remove the tumour, extract the virus, and repeat the process. He did this over four hundred times removed from the original sample, proving categorically that the BX virus induced cancerous tumours in every instance.

Rife's next step was to see if electro-magnetic radiation would be effective in destroying these virus. He undoubtedly was inspired towards this research by the well known research around this time by Dr. Albert Abrams, who used a damped high frequency spike to successfully treat disease. Rife had one of Dr. Abrams dead-beat oscillators which he showed would destroy the tuberculosis and typhoid bacilli. Rife also designed and had constructed an oscillator which was capable of generating a wide spectrum of individual frequencies, because the Abrams oscillator by contrast generated only one specific frequency, with small variances only. By a painstaking process of examining the virus in culture while stepping through a wide array of frequencies, Rife found one which "devitalized" the cancer virus. Rife would often sit for 48 hours before the microscope isolating a specific frequency which he called the Mortal Oscillatory Rate, or MOR for many disease organisms.

In some cases these germs or bacilli would literally shatter or explode under the influence of his frequency instrument. In other cases, the forms would remain unchanged in appearance, but would no longer be motile, and would not produce disease. Thus he used the term "devitalized" rather than "destroyed" in these instances. Recent work has shown many of these ultra-microscopic forms to be extremely rigid and resistant to deformation.

Rife isolated the organisms and found an MOR for tuberculosis, e.coli, tetanus, chickenpox, herpes type virus, pin worms, streptothrix (fungi), rabies and altogether over a forty year period, the MOR for about 600 different forms of bacterial and viral forms. The primary frequencies used ranged from the low audio up as high as the limit of short-wave, with several frequencies being combined, and acting both as a carrier as well as a treatment frequency. Rife over-modulated these so as to produce a pulsed wave-form which acted on the organisms in the same way as a tone can shatter a glass when vibrated at the glass' resonant frequency. Rife and his associates found that the human cell was hundreds of times more resilient than the cell walls of disease organisms, and there was never any observed ill effect from immersion in any of these waves.

Rife's proofs of Pleomorphism

"We have classified the entire category of pathogenic bacteria into 10 individual groups. Any organism within its group can be readily changed to any other organism within the ten groups depending upon the media with which it is fed and grown. For example, with a pure culture of bacillus coli, by altering the media as little as two parts per million by volume, we can change that micro-organism in 36 hours to a bacillus typhosis showing every known laboratory test even to the Widal reaction. Further controlled alterations of the media will end up with the virus of poliomyelitis or tuberculosis or cancer as desired, and then, if you please, alter the media again and change the micro-organism back to bacillus coli."

This is called pleomorphism. Rife contended certain conclusions escaped earlier researchers simply because they lacked the evidence of their eyes in seeing these forms develop from a single entity. They require a power of magnification and resolution beyond the typical 2,000 power instrument.

Rife's work suggested that the wide array of disease bacterium were merely differentiation phases in a life-cyle of an as of yet undetermined entity. Researcher Gaston Naessens has verified many of Rife's findings, and has delineated 16 phases of change of what Rife called the premodal identity or body, which Naessens calls "somatids". Despite Rife's proofs of so-called pleomorphism, and the work of others along that line today it remains a controversial issue.

Rife cured all the rats in which the BX virus induced cancer using the "beam". (Another virus, the BY was found in every instance of sarcoma). Rife was able to prove his Ray tube was effective against human cancer through a clinical study done under the auspices of the University of Southern California. (USC disputes this, saying no records exist attesting this) A special Medical Research Committee was committed to looking into the work of Rife in 1934. Dr. Milbank Johnson supervised the committee. They found 16 terminally ill people and brought them down to a ranch owned by a member of the Scripps family, of the Scripps Oceanographic Institute fame. Rife described the treatment in 1934:

"With the frequency instrument treatment, no tissue is destroyed, no pain is felt, no noise is audible, and no sensation is noticed. A tube lights up and 3 minutes later the treatment is completed. The virus or bacteria is destroyed and the body then recovers itself naturally from the toxic effect of the virus or bacteria. Several diseases may be treated simultaneously.

"The first clinical work on cancer was completed under the supervision of Milbank Johnson, M.D. which was set up under a Special Research Committee of the University of Southern California. 16 cases were treated at the clinic for many types of malignancy. After 3 months, 14 of these so-called helpless cases were signed off as clinically cured by the staff of five medical doctors and Dr. Alvin G. Foord, M.D. Pathologist for the group. (Editor's Note: a few months after the conclusion of the clinic, the other two recovered completely) The treatments consisted of 3 minutes duration using the frequency instrument which was set on the mortal oscillatory rate for 'BX' or cancer (at 3 day intervals). It was found that the elapsed time between treatments attains better results than the cases treated daily. This gives the lymphatic system an opportunity to absorb and cast off the toxic condition which is produced by the devitalized dead particles of the 'BX' (Bacillus X) virus. No rise in body temperature was perceptible in any of these cases above normal during or after the frequency instrument treatment. No special diets were used in any of this clinical work, but we sincerely believe that a proper diet compiled for the individual would be of benefit."

In the putative 1934 clinic Rife's beam yielded a 100% cure rate, but the world knows relatively little of him today. Rife died penniless in 1971.

SOME FACTS ABOUT THE RIFE RAY EQUIPMENT

The 1934 Rife Ray Equipment consisted of 1) the power supply or a large bank of car batteries with three motor generator sets to maintain direct current flow, 2) a frequency generator with modulation of audio and radio frequency waves which were variable by controls and, 3) the applicator tubes which were similar to Coolidge type x-ray tubes and were filled with a noble gas which gave an emanation at varying frequencies forming the method of transmission from a right angle electrode which absorbed the current directly to grounded connections.

The specific frequency effective against the BX virus is given by various sources as 2127 or 2128 cycles per second, but apparently the original Rife ray swung through a range of frequencies perhaps as great as plus and minus 10. So the ray might encompass 2117 to 2137. This was superposed on a carrier frequency and applied through the specially modified X-ray tube filled with helium, or perhaps also other noble gases. Rife indicated he was using a +/- 25 meter wavelength (11.78 Megacycles) as well as another which was 17 6/10 meters (17.045 Megacycles) The following is taken from Rife's notes of November 20, 1932:

There are several aspects of Rife's original work that is not clear. For example the above notes indicate the virus was attracted to the cathode or -negative terminal. In other notes, Rife also reported that the cancer virus was electro-statically bi-polar and could be segregated into two groups: some attracted to the positive terminal and some to the negative terminal respectively. Samples from a segregated group could not produce the disease. So this is not clear. The above quoted note also does not list an audio frequency, which as mentioned later researchers noted to lie in the range of 2,000 to 2,200 for sarcoma and carcinoma virus respectively.

The Rife modality of treatment of disease falls under the classification of physical remedies. Others in this class are Rontgen or X-rays, light, diathermy or heat treatments. Today there is an effort to define Rife's work as "energy" medicine. Based on studies of Rife's own words and reports from those who knew him, Rife would not accept such a definition. He was following the standard protocols of medical research and advanced the methodologies of research in the process. He never brought into the arena of his work concepts foreign to research engineers of his day, although he did wed scientific findings and methods from fields outside the selected sciences of microscopy and medicine (as he did in utilizing an opthomological tool like the Risley prism; and the concept of resonance to shatter biological forms just as resonance may shatter a glass or an earthquake shatters buildings). Although Rife did utilize ideas suggested by the work of Albert Abrams, he did not espouse Abram's philosophy. He sought merely to extend the potentials of physical science and microscopy. Rife once said that his work left him penniless and abused by the scientific community of which he was once a respected member, but that if he had it to do over again, he would without hesitation.

Rife contended that the virus was doubtless spurred into action by the state of the individual's health. It follows then that the appearance of the virus is first an formost an indicator of something amiss in the state of health. From there the condition compounds and becomes complex.

Rife had a million volt X ray apparatus. It is interesting to note that X-ray had no affect on the virus. Indeed, he used ionizing radiation to culture the virus. For this reason Rife was insistent that X-ray was to be avoided, as it had the propensity to activate or stimulate the virus.

This suggests some other interesting observations: first, that the virus is of such dimensions that ordinary staining compounds are usless. Like trying to get a mouse to swallow an elephant Rife said. Although chemotherapeutic compounds are directed towards cellular processes and not virus, the same limitations apply: they won't affect the virus. Rife observed that the virus was anaerobic. Necrotic tissues which result from chemotherapy will have a low oxygen saturation. Thus not only are these two standard approaches to cancer treatment useless against a major cause of cancer, they are creating circumstances similar to those used by Rife and Kendall for culturing of the cancer virus in the first place. Furthermore, hard X-ray and chemotherapeutic agents are in themselves carcinogenic.

The AMA and FDA contend that Rife's instruments are useless, and have no effect. Studies independent of Rife's research and others along similar lines show that there is an effect. There are a number of independent research groups carrying out this research today and showing that this equipment is not only effective in treating viral and bacterially induced disease by eliminating these agents, but that the instruments have a decidedly stimulating influence on the white blood cells, and seem to stimulate regeneration. Rife found that cataracts would sometimes disappear under the influence of the frequency instrument.

Why is Rife's work so obscure?

After the most effective and simplest means for treating cancer ever known was demonstrated in 1934, certain people in positions of power in the AMA proved by their actions they were interested in the profitability of Rife's discovery. When Rife showed unequivocally he was not interested in "bringing them in" on a business venture, he began to have troubles, and the persecution and suppression of this wonderful discovery began. Similar histories exist from those days of many useful drugs and treatments. This reality prompted many doctors to drop out of the AMA, characterising it as little more than a criminal syndicate.

Rife was a scientist. He used reserve in framing hypotheses, and was guided by his own experimental evidence. To a certain extent, his own and the reservations of his associates in attempting to develop their clinical data-base and the theoretical basis of how the instrument worked delayed the presentation of their experimental results to the world. Dr. Johnson, who had so greatly supported Rife's work, and who was to formally present their findings to the world died suddenly before he could do so.

There is little fear that Rife's work is lost. Much of the material has been examined an reproduced with varying degrees of success by various groups and individuals. Although this research has yet to be done within any orthodox institutions or research body whose ostensible and stated purpose is to find solutions to the problem of cancer and disease, it is being done by independent researchers. However, the publication of their results has heretofore garnered only popular notice. The need exists for rigorous scientific methodology in formally establishing Rife's discovery. But the reality of the basic effect is unquestionable.
