RCRS Email Update August 12, 2003 (Delayed) A New CD Rom compilation on Royal R. Rife and Related Research "Rife Life" by Reid Smith, et al. See bottom for ordering information. Introduction For many years, we have heard of the work of independent Research Engineers, who have worked on problems of physics involving the 'Ether' and Light, Sound and vibration, which are all quantifiable phenomena for purposes of measurement and collection of data. The only problems have been deciding instruments to measure, and a perfectly stable space or environment for developing the most perfect standard or standards. This problem in turn lead various European and American Scientists to undergo the most strict disciplines of engineering, for their time, in order to help establish such standards or A standard. Amongst the Germans, one long forgotten, O. C. Hilgenberg, whose work on the ether was probably more perfect or most complete of any prior ether worker up to his time. Hilgenberg is important because besides performing incredibly complex engineering feats to determine by analogous type research the dynamics of an ether, he developed the mathematics to the degree he could predict how light might behave in odd ways under different circumstances, leading us to understand why star-light might not be visible when viewed from outside the atmosphere, and how atmospheric effects might induce heterodyning of these invisible rays, or 'downstepping' their frequencies within the visible spectrum; why we see red shifts on bodies apparently approaching us, etc. His work predicted these effects in the 30s, long before anyone had sent instruments into space. Many problems presented themselves to these men and their fellows in other nations. In more recent times we have Abrams, whom many of us believe was the basic influence on Rife for the 'Rife Ray Tube', Lakhovsky, whom I believe was a member of the camp of BECHAMP; we have Alfven, the physicist who's work on plasma lead to his novel and now more widely accepted view of the evolution of the suns and planets, and many others who looked to use electromagnetic and cosmic energy to not just extract information from nature, or to send information to their fellow men, or explain cosmic evolution, but to HEAL their fellow men. All these factors of study of nature have come forth from their enthusiastic approach to these problems. Thus this work has really been quite global. Naturally Faraday and Maxwell must be included in this work (Faraday's work has even now not been fully assessed, being all empirical; Maxwell's work can be appreciated more fully by reading his own words, rather than later reviewers of his work), but to cut a longer story shorter, eventually a man entered this picture by the name of Royal Raymond Rife, who first worked on the optical end of things, with the goal in mind of healing man of different disorders. The microscope was merely a means to an end, one he already had in mind before he started the microscope projects. This work grew just at the peak of that period in which Pasteur, Bechamp, Metalnikov, Metchnikov and Semmelweis lead the world into the concept that much disease was due to the influence of germs. Only Bechamp, Metalnikov, et al., suspected and the latter proved these could be resisted by intrinsic factors: enzymes and the monocytes or white blood cells. Failure begins in the body, a healthy body can resist all disease. Even Pasteur finally came to believe this in the end, according to an internet tradition by followers of Bechamp. I must say 'tradition', because I have not seen a reliable historic source for that quote. At any rate, Bechamp's work was more in keeping with Lakhovsky, saying that the body can be an environment conducive to disease when already ill, but that when healthy, it could resist all disease. Other sources say things can be done to make the body impervious to disease. This is the conclusion of the Siddha tradition of Indian medicine, not Ayurvedic, but Siddha medicine, from which we today can boast the successes with Pancreas Tonic, which regenerates the pancreatic Beta cells. To the Siddha tradition can accurately be ascribed all systems of yoga, positive thinking, Taoist medicine and much of Chinese medicine in general, as well as much of Ayurvedic medicine. In terms of magnifying minute events in nature, we must not forget that great genius, Jagadis Chandra Bose, who's bio can be found on the internet, and even as far back as 1937 Encyclopedia Britannica. Bose could detect movement in anything to the order of a billion fold magnification by means of his crescograph. This is the mechanical analogy of the Rife and other's microscopes. Bose also detected 'life-vibrations' in metals, which would respond to stimulants, depressants, and could be 'poisoned' or 'killed'. The sum of these men's work must, eventually, lead us to a better understanding of life and the phenomenon we call 'death'. Modern or classic medicine is worlds away from such understanding. But we have these great exceptions, our way finders, true leaders in research and discovery. People who 'walk on the edges' of science. Today we have many examples of such disciplined men, going unheard of, rarely followed or thanked for their hard work, resolving many problems of light, resolution, and focus or magnification of minute events, along with some of them developing equipment destructive to germs, or increasing the body's resistance to germs. We must mention Merkl and Naessens, people I personally need to research and haven't thus far, enough. We all know who some of them are, and some are working solo, others working in conjunction with many others, but we can really say, Rife re-research work is ubiquitous. Royal Raymond Rife was a man such as this world had never seen before. For in this one individual was comprised so many different disciplines, in a masterful fashion, as to easily stand along side the men for whom we say the term is reserved, such as Da Vinci, a 'Renaissance Man' to be sure. Perhaps some day we will learn Rife could paint and draw as well. I don't doubt it, myself. Da Vinci would have envied his brother of the sciences and pragmatics. That is why I am endlessly fascinated by this man. And why I am glad to introduce my readers to a compilation of facts and pictures featuring Rife, as well as an enormous amount of information on corollary work by other inventors along the same vein, all compiled onto one CD Rom. Reid Smith, along with many others, has made a CD called Rife-Life. We will be Show Casing Reid's experiences sometime this winter on the main page of the RCRS web site. Readers will be notified when it is complete. His story is very interesting to me. It keeps growing in detail, and so I must apologize for the uncertainty of its appearance. I will update readers when the article is posted. Reid's "Rife-Life" CD is for sale regularly for $39.95, and all of the profits go to support Rife research by Reid and the others involved in compiling this archive on CD as well as their independent research and development or back-engineering of the "Beam Ray" machine. For subscribed readers of the RCRS email updates, this CD will be available for $24.95 plus shipping and handling. So for 27 dollars, you can have an astounding amount of information on Rife and many others. It also includes some of my work, and I think it very worthwhile to have this CD. To see the index for this CD, you can go to: www.navi.net/~rsc/rife-life.pdf Let me just give you an overview of the contents: This CD is opened into a web browser, such as Netscape, and click-active bars lead the reader to: + Rife's history and Related Articles --Early Rife --Rife by Robert Cathey --From Rife's book reported by Crane --Journal of the Franklin Institute, The New Microscopes This section deals with, among other things, photos of Rife, my articles on Rife, my transcription and the entire article by Seidel and Winter: The New Microscopes, transcribed by me directly into html, not the partial versions used by so many people, including all the photographs found in both The Franklin Institutes Journal, but the pix from the Smithsonian journal as well. This article discusses the other powerful microscopes extant at the time, such as the Graton-Dane micrographic scope; the then new electron microscope, and the Lucas and Barnard achievements of very high magnification and resolutions; the material I extracted from the Crane Manual written by Rife, and more. + Rife Related Research There are thirteen links in this section, dealing with electrotherapy in general and material specifically related to Rife but developed independently, that is, Rife may have been aware of these, or they were aware of Rife, including Albert Abrams. + Rife Related Patents This section is huge. Tesla starts if off, with many interesting patents shown. There are 19 different links each rich in data, concluding with the Pappas work. + Health and Rife Related Electronics This sections has circuit diagrams and much material bound to be of interest to any tinkerer. I would have to write a much longer email to apprise everyone of my readers as to the contents of this CD. Every Rife researcher should have one. Future additional volumes of this CD are being planned, so that we hope to see a virtual library that is bound to be of great use to any Rife researcher. Send orders for the CD as check, money order to: Reid Smith PO BOX 876 Marion, IL 62959 Reid's email: Allow three weeks for delivery.
