Royal Raymond Rife (May 16, 1888 - August 11, 1971) is an important figure in alternative medicine. He is known in the alternative medicine community for inventing an advanced optical microscope in 1933 that offered 31,000 times magnification, a magnification comparable to that of early electron microscopes. He called this microscope the "Universal Microscope."
Research with the Universal Microscope
Rife used his Universal Microscope to examine pleomorphic microbes in various media. The advantage of his optical microscope over other optical microscopes of the day was that living tissues and organisms could be examined. Rife's scope, through the use of polarized light and prisms, was able to focus clearly on live tissues and living organisms.
The Beam Ray
Rife also commissioned the invention of a device called the "Beam Ray," which he allegedly used in 1934 at a University of Southern California clinic in La Jolla, California to cure 16 patients of their cancer. The Beam Ray operated on the principle of resonance. By finding the resonant frequency of a particular disease-causing organism, Rife claimed he could then use the "oscillatory energy" to destroy the organism, much as a pane of glass can be broken by sound at the pane's resonant frequency.
Destruction of Research
Rife's work were destroyed by Dr. Morris Fishbein, then editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association. The government raided Rife's labs, destroyed his microscopes, seized his equipment and notes, and forced him to move on.
Re-examination of Research
Rife's work was revived by interested scientists and laypeople in the 1980s. An interest in Rife himself was revived by author Barry Lynes, who wrote a book about Rife entitled The Cancer Cure That Worked.
Today Rife's research is being re-visited by such groups as the Bioelectromagnetics Society.
