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. Even today's most powerful optical microscopes only reach maximums of 25,000 times magnification. He called this microscope the "Universal Microscope." One of these is now in posession of the Smithsonian Institution.
He used this invention to work with pleomorphic microbes in various media. The advantage of his optical microscope over electon microscopes and other optical microscopes of the day was that with Rife's microscope, living tissues and organisms could be examined. With traditional optical microscopes, samples must often be dyed to be seen, and the dyes often kill the sample. With electron microscopes, the electron beam itself destroys biologial samples. Rife's scope, through the use of polarized light and prisms, was able to focus clearly on live tissues and living organisms without dyes or electron beams.
Only in recent years have optical microscopes approached the level of refinement seen in the Universal Microscope invented by Rife. Kurt Oblich of Grayfield Optical has invented a scope called the Ergonom500 which is capable of magnifications of up to 25,000 times. Tim Richardson of Richardson Technologies has also invented a powerful optical microscope that he calls the Real-Time Microscopy Imaging System, which is capable of magnifications of about 15,000 times.
Rife also comissioned 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 utilize the oscillatory energy to destroy the organism, much as a wine glass may be shattered by singing a particular note.
Rife's work with the Beam Ray was extensive. He conducted literally thousands of experiments, and was able to isolate and destroy bacteria and viruses responsible for causing many diseases using his Beam Ray and Universal Microscope. His work was examined and verified by other doctors of his day. Forty-four of the most prominent doctors of the day held a banquet in his honor on 20 November 1931, to honor him as the man who had found the "cure to all diseases." A few short years later, only one of those 44 doctors would still be willing to stand up for Rife.
Rife and his work were destroyed by Dr. Morris Fishbein, then head of the American Medical Association. Fishbein owned all of the stock of the AMA, and used his considerable power to destroy competitors in the medical marketplace. Through the AMA and his ties to the federal government through the FDA, he was able to effectively destroy Royal Rife and his work. No doctor would stand up for Rife, for fear of losing his medical license, which were provided by the AMA. The government raided Rife's labs, destroyed his microscopes, seized his equipment and notes, and forced him to move on. Later, his lab mysteriously burned to the ground, taking many of his remaining notes and equipment with the fire.
Rife became an alcoholic in his later years. Totally discredited and called a quack by the AMA and FDA, his life's work in tatters, his lab destroyed, Rife had little to live for.
Rife's work was revived by many interested scientists and laypeople in the 1980's. Today research similar to Rife's research is proving itself through the research of groups such as The Bioelectromagnetics Society. An interest in Rife himself was revived by author Barry Lynes, who wrote a book about Rife titled "The Cancer Cure That Worked."
