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 his claim of inventing in 1933 the "Universal Microscope", an advanced optical microscope with x60,000 magnification (comparable to that of early electron microscopes).
Research with the Universal Microscope
Rife claimed to have used used his Universal Microscope to examine pleomorphic microbes in various media. According to Rife, an advantage of his optical microscope over other optical microscopes of the day was that living tissues and organisms could be examined as his microscope, through the use of polarized light and prisms, was able to focus clearly on live tissues and living organisms.
Rife claimed to have identified the individual spectroscopic signature of each microbe using a slit spectroscope attachment. He would then rotate block prisms to focus light of a single wavelength upon the microorganism he was examining. This wavelength was selected because it "resonated" with the spectroscopic signature frequency of the microbe.
The Beam Ray
Rife also commissioned the invention of a device called the "Beam Ray", said to operate on the principle of resonance, which he allegedly used in 1934 at a University of Southern California clinic in La Jolla, California to cure 16 patients of their cancer. Rife claimed he could find the resonant frequency of a particular disease-causing organism, 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 was 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.
Since most information on Rife's work on the Universal Microscope and the Beam Ray is no longer available, independent verification and/or replication of his theories, research and results now may be all but impossible.
However, the claims for the Universal Microscope's x60,000 magnification are not supported by physics. Optical microscopes are limited by the wavelength of light, blurring of the image by diffraction limiting the optical resolution to typically x1,500.
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.
But history seems to be repeating itself as those who are looking into Rife's work today are accused of ignoring the scientific method, and their work is described as pseudo-science. Current theoretical and commercial offerings, such as Rife plasma lamp devices, are seen as quackery and claimed to be unsupported by peer-reviewed research by Quackwatch and other skeptics of alternative medicine who seem to take the same view of Rife and his work as Fishbein in the first half of the 20th century.
In the late 1980's a company by the name of "Life Energy Resources" mass-produced a device they called the "REM SuperPro Generator" on the foundation of Rife's work (giving the acronym REM for Rife's Electromagnetic). Three of the company's top distributors: Pat Ballistrea, Michael Ricotta, and Brian Strandberg, served prison time as a result of their trials in 1993, 1994, and 1995.
