Just stumbled on an article entitled,
Blowing the Whistle on the Rife Story or Who's Who In the Rife Game.
The whole story is found at

Here is a first installment of this long, factual article, apparently
written by Linda Hannapel and Keith Frick.

-----------------------------

The history of the Rife Frequency Generator goes back in time to the 1930's.
However, the original research travels back even further to 1880, and the
first patents were issued in 1890, to a man named Fisher. Many men like
Tesla, Lakhovsky, Voll, Nagier, etc. all contributed to this technology1.
Rife happened to land an over zealous journalist named Barry Lynes who made
him into a folk hero with the book, "The Cancer Cure That Worked."  But,
back in those early years, there were many heroic experiments.

Because of the controversy over Rife, we will concentrate on his legacies
and early instrumentation. Rife developed 5 powerful optical microscopes,
the most powerful at which is known as the Universal Microscope. It was
developed in 1933, consists of 5,682 parts, and is so "powerful" because of
its ability to accurately view microorganisms in their natural habitat.
Rife, while observing bacteria, viruses and fungi when using the microscope,
was able to observe their demise while applying energy derived from the
frequency of the square wave generator.

Audio frequency generators of the 1930 era were large and bulky1 and subject
to frequent instability. The instrumentation was crude and unstable. To
determine the precise frequency with accuracy was difficult and quartz
crystal control was required for optimum frequency stability. It is no
wonder that Rife did not publish the frequencies that caused the demise of
viruses that he observed. It would have been difficult for a person other
than an expert radio technician or engineer to determine and measure
frequencies accurately in 1930.

In the manual and notes of Rife, there is no mention of the frequency, only
dial settings. And these depend upon how the parameters were set up in the
oscillator stage. The Manual also points out many "Do Nots", which indicates
mechanical instability of the instrument. The 1987-88 versions of the
original Frequency Generator had been developed through a need for an
experimental program to investigate and study the work of Rife and perhaps
revalidate his experiments using an audio frequency square wave generator to
destroy harmful bacteria, viruses and fungi.

In 1977, a researcher from San Diego, California discovered a man who had
for many years known Rife. Rife provided a frequency generator for this man'
s use when he developed cancer. He used the generator and cured his cancer.

Rife built that instrument from a SQID "Heath Kit". It had vacuum tube
electronics which were impossible to he kept exactly tuned and accurate.
Therefore, whatever the frequencies were, they had little, if anything, to
do with the healing. Through later research, it has been found that the
harmonics of the frequency band are what made it work. Rife merely
substantiated what Lakhovsky knew in 1925.

According to his original material, Rife didn't know the differences between
a frequency and a pulse repetition rate. By sheer luck the vacuum tube's
natural oscillation, and the Heath Kit he used, just happened to match the
body's impedance. (In order to get energy into the body it is necessary to
break through the electric field around the body.) Rife "lucked out", and
the off-the-shelf-generator modified with foot pads worked!

The San Diego researcher in the late 1970's then had a problem with a
relative who had breast cancer. She contacted Rife's friend who loaned the
generator to her. After having complete success, she asked Ed Skilling (a
pioneer in the field of electromagnetics) to duplicate the old generator
with state of the art electronics.

Ed, using the number settings of the old generator with an oscilloscope,
converted the numbers on the dial settings to actual audio frequencies. We
must assume that the numbers on the dial settings were correct, as the
result of its use in the past fifteen years would indicate. Then, Bob Beck
and Ed Skilling created schematics for the copy generator and gave them out
to researchers free, thinking research could then be conducted by many
people and could not be stopped easily.

However, the plot thickens . . . Several people from California took the
schematics with the five frequencies and started manufacturing units in
their garage. When Ed and Bob warned them of the two higher frequencies,
they said the "spirits" told them they were OK to use, so they continued to
manufacture and sell. Thus, the QLF was born. The only difference between
the Skilling Schematics and the final QLP' was that the technician who put
it together used a crystal control, which isn't significant. Because the
frequencies are in the hundreds there could be a drift of minus 5 or 10
hertz and it wouldn't make a difference.

The mistake was made in not using a symmetrical output. It is imperative to
have a symmetrical square wave signal that cancels out to zero. In other
words, the positive has to go to certain amplitude and the negative to
certain amplitude, with zero point being the crossover point. If not done
correctly, it won't be a symmetrical wave form and will not work.

In the fall of 1987, in Los Angeles, California, a group of medical people
and scientists met to discuss the possible use of electronics in the
treatment of AIDS. A few doctors, headed by Robert Streaker, M.D., believed
the Rife Frequency Generator might be helpful in the treatment of AIDS. At
that meeting Ed Skilling volunteered to create a third generation device
with improvements and solid state dependability to simplify usage,
particularly in setting the three frequency changes.

The second generation unit was provided with a Vernier dial, and a digital
frequency counter was used to set precise frequencies as called out in the
original specifications.

Before the third generation was released, Barry Lynes wrote his book on
Rife, The Cancer Cure That Worked. The reason he wrote the book was to sell
a limited partnership, which was not a registered security, to potential
investors. His plan was to replicate Rife's work and lease the machines to
doctors at $1,000 per month. For this he wanted to raise several million
dollars. When Skilling's schematics came out free, and when he built a few
generators for people at less than $1,000, Lynes business plan came to an
abrupt halt. To say the least, Skilling and Beck became Lynes' enemy, a
situation which continues to this day.
