MARCH 2019 ARTICLE : CONCEPT SKETCHES
FOR MEDICAL FREQUENCY APPLICATORS
This article contains sketches that illustrate a variety of old and new applicator concepts. The latest Novocare vest applicator concept uses 200 kHz monofrequency delivered by an electrode array. I have proposed a modified vest design using HRIFE signals with two RF frequencies or AM signals with a single RF carrier.

NEW 2018 VIDEOS AND ARTICLES ON RIFE MICROSCOPE DESIGN
None of the relic Rife microscopes today are in working order, and components have been removed. The design principles have never been properly explained, so until now, experts have not been able to understand the secrets of the Rife ultra-high magnification design. The first Youtube video and the first article explain a set of concepts for the Rife design using layman’s language and simple diagrams. It shows how Rife could have passed a thin needle beam through a special pinhole aperture to project a cone-shaped expanding beam to create an extra stage of magnification. A novel illumination design is shown that allows a choice of modes of color staining of live specimens including monochromatic darkfield, color contrast, and UV. The function of various prisms is also illustrated.
As of August 2018, I have added a second Youtube video and article with the title “Rife Microscope Design Part 2 : Novel concepts for Axial Interference Contrast”. This material introduces the simplest Axial Interference Contrast innovations or “luminance interference contrast” described by Joerg Piper. It develops an understanding of how the IAC concept could be applied to the Rife microscopes. It also proposes some novel innovations to improve IAC applications for conventional microscopes, including microscopes modified for Rife-type two-color illumination. Some extra material on novel innovations not included in the second Youtube has been added to the pdf article.
In late 2018 I created a third Youtube designed as a Seminar presentation. It summarises the concepts of the first two videos, and it adds some discussion about the simplified 1936/38 designs. These had a different layout for the folded optical path. They also may use an axial obstruction aperture that is larger and has no beam expansion function. It may be located mid-way along the folded path, rather than at the top of the path.

RIFE REVEALED : NEW RESEARCH DIRECTIONS FOR FREQUENCY MEDICINE IN THE 21ST CENTURY
This book discusses some of my ideas about the history and theory related to the Rife research. Many of the modern popular “Rife device” designs use some kind of Amplitude Modulation scheme. AM can be a means to introduce the modulation frequency into a target or into a patient. A different technical approach can use frequency mixing by superimposing signals to create a heterodyning effect. This can result in lower frequency internal e-fields within the target and inside cells. My book argues that a new generation of frequency devices that use RF heterodyning should be developed. Special signal protocols that use gating are discussed.
Some novel ideas based on the Kirson frequencies around 100 kHz to 300 kHz for cancer therapy are discussed. Designs for plate applicators and “nanochamber” cell exposure chambers that do not require a plasma tube are discussed.

2005 MOBILE PHONE ARTICLE
This article is a summary of my PhD research project on Mobile phone RF bioeffects, presented to the 2005 EMF Conference in Kos, Greece. My PhD thesis was accepted in 2005. I had the good fortune to spend a year with UNSW Biophysics under Prof. Hans Coster in 2000, and then to work at St Vincents Centre for Immunology under Dr Peter French and Prof. Keith Stanley.
Part of the article discusses a possible similarity between heating effects and athermal RF bioeffects (thermoprotection hypothesis). Some preliminary data from my experiments with fibroblast cells suggests that low-power GSM phone radiation inhibited inflammatory signaling in an IL-1B cytokine challenge. If the findings are verified, this phenomenon might support the use of RF to mitigate inflammatory signaling in organ transplants and other surgery where reperfusion injury is problematic.
I am no longer involved in the mobile phone research area, so with respect to readers’ curiosity, I would prefer any questions on that particular subject to be directed to other researchers.

WERE RIFE’S BX VIRUS ACTUALLY MYCOPLASMAS ?
RIFE AND MYCOPLASMAS (1996)
This is an old article I wrote as an undergraduate student that reviews some of the literature related to a hypothetical relationship between pleomorphic mycoplasmas, immunosuppression and cancer. It also critiques Rife’s theories and speculates about alternative theories that might support Rife-type devices in medicine.

INTRODUCTORY COMMENTS
The release of the hrife.com website co-incides with a Poster Presentation for the Wireless and Science 2015 forum with ACRBR at RMIT in Australia, December 2015. A 14 page web version of the poster can be viewed on this site as a pdf file.
A free e-book is also available, with over 70 pages that introduces the background concepts of electromagnetic theory, and more advanced concepts on the theory of how HRIFE configurations can transform energy into acoustic forms that may be useful in medical applications. Research proposals are also outlined for exposure apparatus designs and suggested spectroscopy methods to get virus resonance research onto a 21st century footing. The history of evolution of Rife designs is presented, since these issues have been poorly understood. The book is offered free, but readers are welcome to make donations by clicking on the donation link
This site also contains links to some of my older articles. However they do not directly relate to the theory of HRIFE technology. They are mainly included for researchers who might have an academic interest. One of these articles is a 1996 review on pleomorphic bacteria such as mycoplasmas, and their role in immunosuppression and possibly in some cancer pathologies. Another article presents my 2005 PhD research findings in the area of GSM mobile phone biological effects including some immunological aspects.
HRIFE stands for Heterodyned Radiofrequency Induction Field Emitter technology. The main proposed medical application is to generate internal electric fields at lower frequencies that normally cannot be injected into tissues or inside cells. The anti-viral research firstly would involve perfecting spectroscopy methods to detect native virus resonances. The HRIFE apparatus would then calibrate two RF frequencies to generate a heterodyned product to match the virus native resonance.
The main proposed anti-cancer medical modality is anti-fouling therapy to expose tumor antigens on the surface of cancer cells to promote immune recognition. A secondary proposed modality for cancer therapy is the use of an approximately 300 kHz heterodyned product to act either via a dielectrophoretic force (modeled by Davies and Kirson) or alternatively via a hypothetical “proton motive force”. However whether the latter mechanism would impact usefully on cancer cell electrophysiology is as yet unknown.
Internal electric fields induced by HRIFE exposure may in most cases require supplementary apparatus to deliver energy inputs at higher power than the primary apparatus, such as acoustic shockwaves or intense radar-like pulses or electric spike discharges. The idea is that initial “entrainment” via HRIFE exposure could act in synergy with appropriately synchronised higher energy inputs.
These ideas owe some inspiration to the early work of Royal Raymond Rife and Phillip Hoyland from the 1930’s era. However most of the HRIFE concepts, and the principles of Physics and Biology that underpin it are completely different to the theory and designs of Rife and Hoyland. The HRIFE designs are also completely different to the various modern devices that are described as “Rife devices”. The evolution of my ideas and of my articles are still in progress. Some problems of theory and engineering have yet to be de-bugged.
Readers may wish to ask me questions about my opinion on modern Rife devices and whether they are effective for medical applications. I am sorry to say I have no information to offer on that subject, as I have not really researched it. If you Google on Rife you will find many articles and many ideas. If you research the device designs you will see a variety of designs. Most are electrotherapy devices that use skin contact electrodes. Some are non-contact devices that use a glowing gas plasma tube output. Electronic kits have used CB radio modifications to drive an audio square modulation through the CB radio amp, then to an impedance matching tuner, and then to plasma tubes of various designs. Other concepts are based on MOPA transmitters. A variety of magnetic coil devices also exist, a few of which associate with the name Rife, and many that dont.
Since 2013, modern replicas of the 1939 Hoyland device have been developed. The Hoyland concept has been described as a multiple RF sideband method because effectively it is modulated with a harmonic set. One popular method is to scan the modulation frequency to generate all of the available frequencies. My own interpretation of this method emphasises that the RF sidebands are equally spaced at the mod frequency, and within a lossy dielectric target they heterodyne back down to a harmonic set of the mod frequency, and this set then iteratively heterodynes and tends to re-inforce the fundamental. I argue that frequencies that can impact on the nervous system are probably below the threshold for ionic conduction, below roughly 100 kHz, and thus a bio-active effect of the scanned Hoyland devices could be the mod frequency and its higher harmonics, rather than the actual multiple RF sidebands.
Rife devices and some of the so-called frequency medicine devices are considered unproven and in some nations their sale is prohibited by law as unapproved devices. Obviously there is official concern that patients can become involved in quack cures and neglect to consult a doctor.
Rife designed and built a special microscope using an advanced design that may have used a pinhole innovation to give an extra stage of magnification. He was also trained in the bacteriology / microscopy techniques in common use in his era. He used a novel method of illumination that allowed him to observe live specimens in any selected color from the visible to UV spectra. This allowed Rife to attempt to identify different micro-organisms based on observed color under various illumination wavelengths.
Rife believed that just as many micro-organisms had characteristic color, they probably also had native resonant frequencies further down in the EM spectrum. He believed that an external electromagnetic signal could excite the native resonance if it was correctly tuned. He believed or hoped that physical vibration after resonance could kill or disable the germ. My commentary on this idea is that Rife described what may have been clumping or adhesion of bacteria within frequency windows. He may have been observing adhesion induced by so-called dielectrophoretic forces that were not understood in the 1920’s. Rife and Crane taught that the effect was lethal to the bacteria, but my skeptical view is this would need to be demonstrated in a modern lab setting before it could be accepted. There is a polarised dispute within the Rife community as to whether the observed effects were caused by simple monofrequencies, or whether more complex modulated or mixed frequency signals were required.
Rife set about to develop a series of electronic designs that could deliver single EM frequencies or a mixture of frequencies, possibly as modulated or superimposed signals. Gas plasma tubes were used as a dipole output. The designs probably included an adapted MOPA similar to transmitters used in US Navy ships. In the mid 1930’s Rife hired an engineer named Phillip Hoyland, who began working on new designs to exploit advances in valve technology. Hoyland’s final design was a radical departure from the earlier concepts. The Beam Rays device c.1939 was an interesting modulated device that output multiple RF sidebands, partly because the modulating signal was rich in harmonics. Unfortunately it had potential as a radio-jamming device, and as such may have attracted the attention of the U.S. military at the time of the national think-tank on high-frequency electronics innovations commencing in 1938. It was banned by the AMA in 1939. There is some modern controversy about whether the 1939 design could have the same effect as the earlier designs, and this discussion is made more difficult because design details of earlier devices are not available.
After Rife’s death, John Crane published a manual attempting to describe the Rife technology. In about 2013, Canadian researchers working on reverse-engineering projects came to the conclusion that Crane made a number of errors, and the mystery of the Hoyland 1939 Beam Rays design was finally cracked. I have attempted to review and critique this information in simple explanations. The evolution of Rife Ray designs over the years is also explained, and some comparisons are shown about their differences in regards to uncoupling frequencies into a human patient.
Rife taught that a shape-changing micro-organism named “BX” was a cause of cancer, and he believed it could be killed at a specific frequency. I have written about why I believe the Rife BX theory of cancer is incorrect in my 1996 article and in the e-book. The Rife archives have some lists of organisms and frequencies, but unfortunately even if organisms have resonant frequencies that could be detected, a whole new research program would be required to obtain any useful information. Finally, it may be that simply being able to excite low frequency resonance in an organism may not actually kill it, as was claimed by Rife. Rife made no publications, and the skeptical view is that he made optimistic claims to win continued private funding from a wealthy patron Mr Timken. After the death of Timken, funding was controlled by Johnston till his death in about 1941. Unlike Timken who allowed academic freedom, Johnston pushed hard to run clinical trials and to develop production model devices. Rife himself was reluctant about starting trials at that time.
My opinion is that even if we could kill micro-organisms by whatever means, existing cancers might not spontaneously heal after the removal of germs, even in cases where virus have initially caused the cancer, or where bacteria and inflammation may have been involved. Obviously, I am skeptical about Rife’s claims. However with the benefit of a modern education in the subject of Biology, I have come up with some ideas about how I would go about modifying a Rife-type technology for the goal of treating cancer using “anti-fouling therapy” (see below). Also, some promising published research by Kirson and Davies has emerged to suggest a potential window of EM frequencies from 100 kHz to 300 kHz. The Kirson window lays at the lower threshold of penetration of RF. It is proposed that frequencies at and below this window can most effectively be delivered using RF heterodyning or RF modulation. A Rife /Bare approach was used by Anthony Holland to expose cancer cells using modulations within the Kirson window, but I offer the criticism that a valid study would require cells to be maintained at body temperature, rather than overnight cold stress at room temperature.
Other research indicates that some experimental RF exposures can enhance the effect of chemotherapy drugs such that lower dosage could be considered. The same philosophy was applied by the late Australian Radiologist Dr John Holt to use microwave exposure in conjunction with reduced-dose X-ray sessions. There has been some indication that mitochondrial function in cancer cells is affected by some RF exposures. Although various end-points in apoptotic signaling tend to be inhibited within cancer cells, RF therapy may have potential to impact on cancer cell survival via changes in mitochondrial function including initiation of autophagy.
Opposed plate applicators can be driven by either modulation signals or heterodyning signals. Where harmonic content is desired, there is an option to connect a plate applicator in parallel to an external plasma tube or other non-linear device. Nanochambers can allow comparative studies of bioeffects using a variety of signal parameters such as AM versus heterodyning, fundamental versus harmonically rich, gated versus ungated, etc. Cell models already used in Kirson’s research can be evaluated in the context of cell-death dose-response curves in drug challenges using a low-dose chemotherapy protocol versus sham-dosed. The idea here is that there can be a sensitive cell model to evaluate which of the many possible signal parameters is most effective. Provided that cells are kept at 37 degrees C, it may also possible to compare plasma tube exposures to nanochamber exposures. Exposure of cells that are suffering from cool temperature stress must be avoided to acheive scientifically valid data.
There has been some enthusiasm following the release of videos by Anthony Holland showing overnight death of multiple cancer cells exposed at room temperature to a Rife-Bare device modulated with Kirson frequencies. My comment is that overnight exposures at room temperature tend to induce apoptotic signaling that is likely to be synergistic with the Kirson effect. Cold stress does not model a real therapeutic exposure situation. Ideally the experiments need to be repeated using a typical microscope plate warmer that uses thermostat controlled water circulation. We may be able to make valid comparisons between Kirson’s monofrequency capacitative coupling applicator versus Holland’s apparatus especially if the same cell models and frequencies are used.
It is also possible to use special focusing lenses to generate RF beams. It is possible to mix frequencies by causing parallel beams to intersect. Focused beams are also possible for controlled hyperthermia applications. Heat deposition can be controlled in real time by adjusting the duty cycle.
Despite all my above criticisms of Rife, in my own research I have developed a hypothesis similar to Rife’s, i.e. that the regular semi-chrystalline icosahedral structure of many virus may have the ideal geometry to be affected or disrupted by a native resonant frequency.
In my research on cancer, I have chosen to target the phenomenon of “antigen masking” e.g. due to polysaccharide films that cover tumor cell surface antigens. I have attempted to develop a concept design for devices that can synchronise combined internal electric fields from a HRIFE device with more energetic sources such as shock waves or electric spikes or high-intensity short-burst microwaves, with the goal of breaking up these deposits to expose antigens for recognition by immune cells (anti-fouling therapy). With regards to virus therapy, my gut feeling has been that initiating physical vibration with a HRIFE device alone would probably not be energetic enough to rupture the virus wall structure. Again, it is proposed to superimpose more energetic energy sources synchronised to the native resonance.
Some of the Rife archives suggest that bacteria also have resonance phenomena. I am doubtful that this would be true, but on the other hand a glimmer of hope may exist in this regard, e.g. see my discussion on the Russian work of Shashlov in the 1970’s.
Generally, public funding for this kind of research requires some kind of proof-in-principle. Unfortunately to get to that point requires an investment in electronics development and pilot projects. To that end, it is planned to create a Medical Research Foundation for private contributions.
