A History Of Rifes Instruments And Frequencies

Updated 11/12/06

This article from its first writing has been an evolving document according to the newinformation received. When new information has been obtained we have tried to correct errorirregardless of the fact it may change everything that has been previously believed as correc

This article was last updated on 12/15/05. Now a little more information has come to lightherefore this article dated 11/12/06 takes precedence over all previous dates. The new information about super-regeneration has caused an almost complete rewriting of this article anchanges almost everything we have previously believed about how Rife instruments workedSuper-regeneration up to the writing of this updated article has been overlooked. The followinquestions will be discussed. When did Rife start using audio frequencies and how were theused in super-regeneration? What frequencies were Dr. Rifes accurate RF M.O.R.s? Were aof Rifes instruments super-regeneration instruments (Rife Ray #3, #4 and the Beam Rays Inc.)The understanding of super-regeneration will challenge the dates, arrived at through speculation, of some of the instruments that have been built and may bring about a change in how instruments are built in the future. When new information is obtained this article will be updated

In this article we will examine the way Dr. Rifes instruments worked. We will look at the evdence by quoting the sources such as Dr. Rife, John Crane, John Marsh, Dr. Couche, Dr. Lara, DStafford and Bertrand L. Comperet, Rifes attorney in the 1939 Beam Ray Corporation trial, and lateJohn Cranes attorney for Life Labs trial in 1961. Hopefully anyone who reads this article will have better understanding about Dr. Rife and the methods he used. Our goal is to try to give people infomation so that they can make a more informed decision. We have tried to explain in laymens terms sthat anyone can understand. We hope this will be helpful.

What is a ray tube and how does it work?

Dr. Rife used a phanotron ray tube with his instruments. A ray tube was made out of glasquartz or Pyrex and was filled with a noble gas or a mixture of noble gases. Dr. Rife used differemixtures of gases but finally ended up using helium. He stated:

Rife: We have experimented with various inert gases and we found that helium stood up by the bombardment better than any of the other gases. Thats why we use it. We dont care about the color oanything of that sort. It stood up better over many more hours of bombardment than the argon and thcrypton and those different gases that we tried.

The ray tube was connected to the instrument by two wires. These wires were connected to twround metal bars that went into the glass tube and they had round disks connected to their ends. Ondisk was straight and the other one was on a 45 degree angle. This gave it a directional effect towardthe patient. Dr. Rife stated that the ray tube was a partial directional antenna. Because the scientiftechnology behind ray tubes had already been perfected, Rife worked with that technology and onhad to make some adjustments for it to work the way he wanted it to in his applications. Bertrand Comperet, Rifes attorney, stated in an interview:

Comperet: Now, the original instrument had a tube, like an X-ray tube. That was the way in whicRife developed it. You see, all the X-ray work necessarily was done with a beam projected from tube. So, Rife worked on the same basis. (Comperet interview papers - 1970s)

There are limitations to ray tubes that need to be understood which have to do with the laws ophysics. This is a simple explanation but should suffice since we are trying to stay in layman's termand make it easy to understand. Ray tubes when properly tuned are very efficient. About 95% of thenergy that you put into a ray tube comes out but only if the impedance is matched properly. Dr. Rifeinstruments put out about 50 to 60 watts. This means about 50 watts came out of the ray tube. Wheit comes to metal antennas and an output of 50 watts you have to divide the 50 watts that come out othe metal antenna by four for every foot that you move away from the antenna in order to take into ac

count the laws of physics on signal loss. The exact power loss in the output of a ray tube is not knowbut for our illustration in this article we will use the standard loss with metal antennas as the power losratio for a ray tube. Therefore, at one foot away from the ray tube you only have 12.5 watts. At twfeet you only have 3.125 watts and at 3 feet you only have about .78 of a watt. The laws of physics arimportant to understand because Rife and the doctors that used his equipment put the ray tube within few inches of the patients body. Dr. Couche said that he would sometimes touch the body of the patient in the area that needed to be treated. Dr. Robert P. Stafford said when we asked him, that whehe treated cancer patients he would put the ray tube within a few inches of the body and treat a 6 incsquare area. He would move the ray tube up and down and back and forth so that the whole 6 incarea was treated. He said that he did this because of the way the phanotron ray tube worked. The design of a phanotron ray tube makes it partially directional and concentrates its energy or power into

small area. With the power loss from the ray tube it is easy to understand why Dr. Stafford, Dr. CoucDr. Rife and the other doctors used the ray tube right next to the body.We built both the 1939 Beam Ray instrument (this instrument is not a 1939 Beam Ra

instrument as has been believed but is actually a 1940s Vern Thompson machine and will be examined later on in this article) and the 1950s AZ-58 ray tube instruments. The AZ-58 (a 1950s Rife instrument made by Life Labs) was built from schematics that are on Stan Trumans site, http:www.rife.org, under AZ-58 research information. This instrument is almost the same as the 1940s instrument built by Vern Thompson. We built the 1940s instrument made by Vern Thompson from schematics found at http://www.scoon.co.uk/Electrotherapy/Rife/BeamRay/index.htm. The 1940s instrument uses sine wave audio frequencies and the AZ-58 uses square wave audio frequencies. Wtested the AZ-58 and the 1940s Vern Thompson instrument for penetration and found that at about 3

inches from the body full penetration of the carrier frequency emitted from the ray tube was lost. JohCrane listed the AZ-58 as outputting 50 watts out of the ray tube but we tested it and found it only putout 15 watts. The 1940s Vern Thompson instrument only puts out about 15 watts also. The audio frequencies broadcast out of the ray tube from both these machines could only resonate a crystal designed to test resonance through about two inches of tissue. From the tests made, it takes a carriefrequency of at least 0.125 watts to penetrate all the way through the body. It could take an output 50 watts from a ray tube to resonate a crystal through 14 inches of tissue. These tests showed that takes more power to penetrate all the way through the body when modulating an audio frequency on carrier frequency than when a single un-modulated carrier frequency is used. The tests were done uing the AZ-58 and the 1940s Thompson machines using a phanotron ray tube outputting 15 watts. Another interesting thing worth noting is when we turned the ray tube more than 45 degrees either to th


3/373

right or the left of center we could not resonate the crystal. Another test showed we could not resonatthe crystal at all on the backside of the phanotron ray tube proving what Rife said: The ray tube is partially directional antenna. One interesting fact worth noting is, Dr. Johnson had in his lab one of ththree Rife Ray #4 instruments that were built by Philip Hoyland. It malfunctioned and produced aamazing effect. Dr. Johnson wrote Dr. Grunner a letter dated November 4, 1936 and told him whahappened. In that letter, which we will quote from later on in this article, Dr. Johnson mentioned thinstrument killed all the organisms in his lab and broke all the quartz glass of a certain shape. This instrument, when it malfunctioned put out many frequencies, perhaps many thousands simultaneous

and the power in each frequency would have been so minimal that it makes one wonder how mucpower it really takes to kill microorganisms. Fractions of a watt would have been all the power threached these organisms and killed them. It appears from this event that power is not as important ahaving the correct frequency and the crystal we used is not as sensitive as microorganisms.

What power levels did Dr. Rife use?

According to the documents we have Dr. Rifes #4 instrument and the instrument built by BeamRay Corporation of the 1930s put about 50 watts out of the ray tube. The AZ-58 Life Labs instrumeof the 1950s and the Vern Thompson 1940s instrument only output about 15 watts. Because som

of Dr. Rifes information about instrument power levels is confusing, most have believed Dr. Rifes instruments put out 400 to 600 watts to the ray tube but new information shows this may not be correcThe problem has been that the people who wrote down this information were incorrectly giving thpower usage of Rifes instruments as the output power. Dr. Rifes instruments used 400 to 600 watbut they only output about 50 to 60 watts out of the ray tube. In the paperDevelopment of the RifRay and use in devitalizing of pathogenic micro-organismsit states: The frequencies were generateby a tube oscillator with many stages of amplification, the final stage being a 50 watt output tube.appears from the documents that Dr. Rifes instruments did not output any more power than about 5watts out of the ray tube. When Dr. Rife, Crane and Marsh were working on sea water conversiowhich used frequencies in that process, they boosted the output power in the instrument. Concerninthat instrument and some 1930s Beam Ray instruments that Dr. Yale had increased the power leve

on, Dr. Rife said the following:

RIFE: Now this outfit here - the way we have it boosted up here now with an extreme lot of power behind the actual output that is coming out of the thing...I wouldnt want to use this - or I wouldnt want tuse this instrument here the way it is souped up there for this salt water proposition to treat a patienwith.

GONIN: No.

RIFE: You can get beyond the limit.

GONIN: Yes, quite.

CRANE: Thats what Dr. Yale did. You see, he stepped it up and up and up

RIFE: When Verne Thompson used to go down there and take care of Yales machines - when he began stepping them up and so...where you get up into that extreme poweroh yes, that is not goodWith the power that is in these [50 to 60 watts of power coming out of the ray tube], there is absoluteno harm because I had my microscope here - I had my tube [ray tube] right here in front of it - ohabout 11 or 12 inches away from the slide in the microscope and here I was with this thing all arounlike that and that tube going here and my specimens and the microscope year after year tuning thathing and it never harmed me any. (John Marsh collection - Gonin papers pages 2 & 3. www.rife.org)

Dr. Yales 1936-39 Beam Rays Corporation instruments were putting out a lot more power thaDr. Rife felt was safe. If Yales instruments were changed to put out the maximum power that the maoutput tube could produce then they may have been putting out around 100 watts out of the ray tubeIt may be that Dr. Rife was just over cautious but his statement should be considered when one startusing power levels of 100 to 300 watts. These power levels are probably not necessary if a phanotroray tube is used.

Is it necessary to use a ray tube to put out the frequencies?

We really shouldnt care if an instrument uses a ray tube or a pad as long as it will kill the microorganism we desire. In the strictest sense of the word just because a ray tube is used doesnt meaits Rife. By the time you read this whole article you will find out that no one is doing exactly what Rifdid. But does this mean that these instruments dont work? Those building pad instruments are nousing ray tubes and most are not using Rifes original frequencies. Those that are building ray tube instruments are also not using Rifes original frequencies. We have quite a paradox. This is the problewe face. If we were to build a ray tube instrument that worked exactly the way Dr. Rifes did and usfrequencies from 87000 hertz to 17 megahertz then we would be violating FCC regulations and the instruments would be illegal. These ray tube instruments would have to be used with a faraday cagwhich is a conducting cage used to stop electromagnetic fields. We can build a pad instrument that wuse all the frequencies Dr. Rife used but then we are not using a ray tube. When we consider the legproblems we face today with building instruments, the only instrument we can legally build that woulnot require a faraday cage is a pad instrument. This type of instrument could produce all of Dr. Rifefrequencies. Therefore we should look at this method carefully and not reject it out of personal bia

As we already said, it really shouldnt matter if an instrument uses pads or a ray tube so long ait works. With this in mind lets look at the reasons why pad instruments were first built. John Cranand John Marsh had really good reasons why they built pad instruments. After nearly 50 years of usthere is enough evidence that a pad instrument works just as well as a ray tube instrument as long athere is sufficient power used. In some cases, because of the electrical stimulation like a tens instrument, they may work even better than a ray tube on some conditions. We will now take a look at somof the reasons that prompted Crane and Marsh to use pads:

Rife: But the principle of this thing is basically built on a coordinative vibration. Just like one tuninfork pitched to the C. Another one hereyou strike this one and this one vibrates.

Dr. Lara: What kind of vibration is it? Electromagnetic vibration?

Rife: We wont say magnetic, we will say electronic frequency vibration. The same as put out on broadcasting station for the radio. The same thing you know, only its transmitted into a tube. And thtube acts as a partial directional antenna you see. (John Marsh Rife CDs - CD 6 track 2)

In the John Marsh papers describing his trip to Ohio we read a statement made by Dr. Rife:

Rife: You know we had an idea when we had our Clinic in La Jolla, of course that was battery and motor generator operated that set, you know, and boy it would sure raise the devil with all the radios so whad a couple of cars that was equipped with car radios and we sent them out and we would take thswitch of that thing, and had a code you know like an S.O.S., and one of them went up north, and onof them went south from La Jolla. Before we started in we wanted to see how far we were going to diturb things with it you know, and incidentally we had it in a steel room, a steel lined vault about this sizat the old Ellen Scripps home. It was the vault in the library of the Scripps home where they kept thevaluable manuscripts and books in all steel lined and a door on it like a safe. We had the thing insidof that too, but it didnt make much difference, but we started in, and one car lost the pick up on top oTorry Pines, and the other one half ways through Mission Beach picked it up, and then they could go


5/375

hundred feet and lose and then they would have to pick it up again. Old Henry[Henry Siner] the bothat was with us out there, one of the lab boys, boy he went up in the air. He says, By God he saylook, were going to fix them up right. At two oclock well hook this up to a big radio station, a btransmitting station, and at two oclock next week well broadcast for tuberculosis, and at half past threthe week after we will broadcast for cancer, and everybody at the radio will pick it up. See, boy I saHenry that really is an idea. (John Marsh collection - Trip to Ohio papers page 7. www.rife.org)

It is apparent from what we have read that Dr. Rife believed it was the frequency that was dev

talizing the organism and the method of application really didnt matter. He understood that the frequencies could be broadcast by a radio station if it had enough power. Metal antennas are equal to omore efficient than a ray tube. When John Crane and John Marsh, Dr. Rifes two business partners the 1950s, came to understand this, they eliminated the ray tube and used pads or hand cylinders tapply the frequencies. The pads and hand cylinders work just like an antenna except you do not watoo much power so that they are safe to use. The body also becomes an antenna when you hold thhand cylinders or use the pads and this is why pad instruments work. Comperet stated this in his inteview:

Comperet: Now, Crane said Well now look, Rife himself admits that no matter how much tube anray ,and so on, you have, you cant get any results unless youve got the right frequency. Therefor

the real clue to the thing is the frequency and not the means by which you deliver it. Comperet alssaid: Well, Crane originally was, with more modern techniques, duplicating the Rife machine, tube anall for early experiments. And, as I say, he came to the conclusion that you just werent getting anything additional by the use of the tube. If you didnt get the frequency, you could run the rest of it indenitely and nothing happened. So, what Crane did, he got an audio frequency generator. Now, yocould make them up yourself by an awful lot of work, or you could buy a Heathkit audio frequency generator and get all the same results with a lot less time and effort. So he was using these Heathkit generators. Now, instead of a beam projected from a tube, a ray, he simply had two wires. I think thewere aluminum knobs on the end of them, which would be used. They would be put on the body such a position that the natural flow of the current from one to the other would go through the diseasearea, and he got astonishing results. (Comperet interview papers - 1970s)

These pads or hand cylinders act just like an antenna when in contact with the body, but only you have an RF carrier frequency. Without an RF carrier frequency the audio frequencies will only gthrough the connective tissue and not the cell. There are exceptions to this and they have to do withe wave form of the frequency. If a square wave audio frequency is used then the higher harmonicproduced from this wave form can penetrate the cell. How much power from these harmonics penetrates the cell is not known. But this may explain why instruments that do not use an RF carrier frequency work. All of Rifes original frequencies except two were in the (RF) broadcast band of frequencies and we will cover these frequencies and the audio frequencies along with the importance of a carrier frequency later in this article.

Some have thought that it was the light from the ray tube that made it work. But the evidenc

doesnt seem to support that either because in the Gonin papers of John Marsh, Dr. Rife said this iregards to the light that came from the ray tube:

Rife: We dont care about the color or anything of that sort. (John Marsh collection - Gonin paperpage 25. www.rife.org)

Dr. Couche, when he visited Rifes lab with some other men, said:

Dr. Couche: There was fifteen inches of concrete on the floor so as to stop any earthquake shockfrom interfering with his work. And in his laboratory upon the ground floor he had a microscope with slide on it that this group of people and myself looked at. And this was not stained, there was no killin


6/376

of the bacteria on it. It was just a fresh culture of the colon bacillus..Well we all went down under thstairs into the cellar right immediately under the microscope upon the floor above us and the Rife machine was down in underneath there under the culture in the cellar probably I suppose about ten feeaway, eight or ten feet away. And he turned the machine on and gave it less than a half minutes frequency for the colon bacillus...Then he turned the machine off and we all came upstairs and waited foten or fifteen minutes. And presently he came back to his microscope and he said, Well gentlemecome and look at the slide now. Well to my astonishment the bacilli all had been killed and they werall stacked up on the slide. (John Marsh Rife CDs - CD 3 track 1)

There is no possible way the light from the ray tube could have penetrated that fifteen inch concrete floor. It is obvious that the light didnt make any difference but that it was the frequencies thwere broadcast through the ray tube. It is easy to see that there is more than one way to deliver thfrequencies. The ray tube could be easily replaced with metal hand cylinders and foot pads. It is inteesting to note here, Rife said Abrams Oscilloclast would devitalize the BX cancer virus and it was contact type device. The wave form the Oscilloclast produced is shown in Rifes 1936 film. Crane anMarsh probably used this contact method because of the success of Abrams instrument. The Abraminstrument proved that a contact type device would work and it was used before Rife even started using a ray tube. In fact Abrams contact instrument predates all of Rifes work. Pad instruments lik

Abrams instrument came in contact with the body. Pad instruments with an RF carrier turn the bod

into an antenna and work on the same principle as a metal antenna or ray tube. People have been using pad instruments without an RF carrier for almost 45 years now and have had very good resultsBut to work the way the ray tube instruments do an RF carrier frequency is necessary.

What is Super-regeneration and how did work?

This information on super-regeneration has been a joint effort of Jim Berger, James Cunningham and myself and a few un-named engineers. I appreciate all of Jims hard work and effort and wisto give him the credit he deserves. We know there are a few different ways super-regeneration couhave been used, but in this paper we will show from the evidence how we believe Rife used it.

Rifes 1934 #3, 1935 #4 and Beam Rays Inc. instruments appear to have been superegeneration instruments. In simple terms this is how super-regenerative receivers worked. EdwHoward Armstrong was the one who discovered or invented super-regeneration. This took place between his junior and senior years at Columbia. He was greatly interested and involved in what wacalled "Dxing" (picking up signals from all around the world). The radio signals were very faint anthere was no way to pick them up well. Armstrong found that if he took a radio tube (what we woucall a transistor today) and fed the signal received by that tube back through the tube many times, hcould strengthen the signal with each pass. This method of amplification is regeneration, in a very simplified form.

Rifes instruments were a super-regenerative transmitter. Because these instruments are antiques most people do not understand how a super-regenerative transmitter worked. In order to fin

out how these instruments worked we had to talk to a few engineers who have built, or are still buildingold tube type instruments and had them look at all the old documents on super-regeneration. Superegeneration was used for audio frequencies below about 25,000 hertz. A super-regenerative transmter would use a combination of an audio frequency which was super-regenerated and an RF radio frequency. The implication of this is that Rife must have used a combination of both an audio frequencand an RF or radio frequency. This shows he used at least two frequencies at a time in his instrumento accomplish the de-vitalization of each organism. In reality super-regeneration in a transmitter is red herring but Rife probably just called it this because he used the principle used in superegeneration. What is really taking place in the circuit is a mixing of the audio frequency output bacinto the audio circuit. The principle of mixing the audio back into the circuit and what it would producwill be talked about in this paragraph. Let us first talk about how Rife would have used a combinatio


7/377

of at least two frequencies at a time in his instrument. Super-regeneration means he was modulatinthe audio onto the RF M.O.R. frequency. This new information is very important to understand. Because no one has ever considered that he might have had to use the combination of at least two frequencies to destroy an organism instead of just one. Super-regeneration used at least two frequencieat a time, one audio and one RF. In Rifes 1961 deposition he revealed the fact that he was using twfrequencies on organisms from the very beginning of his work with frequency instruments:

Rife: Initially I worked with loose couplers to get an audio oscillation and then with the use of transmi

ters, I tried to balance the audio and modulate the audio on a carrier wave to transmit the audio energy.

Rife stated from the very beginning of his work back in the days when he was using loose couplers in his frequency instruments that he was also using audio frequencies which he modulated ontan RF or radio frequency (the RF carrier frequency was the M.O.R. frequency). This statement lets uknow he was using at least two frequencies at the same time to devitalize the organisms he was working with. Rife said he began his work using frequency instruments in 1923. It is interesting to note thathis is the year that super-regeneration was invented. There is even more proof this is what he wadoing. It is well known because of Rifes lab notes and other documents that his early instrumenwere super-regenerative instruments. The 1935 Rife Ray #4 instrument was super-regeneration an

the documents show it could put out two RF or Radio frequencies simultaneously. Since it was superegenerative then it would have had to have had at least three oscillators. There would have been twhigh frequency oscillators and at least one audio oscillator for it to be a super-regenerative instrument.

Second High frequencyOscillator


8/378

The documents of the Rife Ray #4 on the previous page show that this was indeed the case. the past because super-regeneration instruments were not understood it was believed that Rife onused a single frequency for the M.O.R. Everyone ignored the fact that the #4 instrument did have threoscillators. The first oscillator, which is the audio oscillator, was listed as OSCILLATOR and the seond and third oscillators are listed as GROUP 1 and GROUP 2. The #4 instrument documents alsshow the frequency range of the two high frequency oscillators and the dial settings of the audio oscilator. If you look on the #4 document on the previous page you will notice the frequency on the audoscillator for the BX filter passing organism was set at switch 3 dial number 85.50 and the carrier fre

quency M.O.R. was set at switch 6 dial 18.8 which was 1604 KC or 1,604,000 hertz. You could alsset group 2 to any carrier frequency you wanted and thus output two RF frequencies simultaneouslyHaving a second high frequency would allow for a higher carrier frequency if the M.O.R. frequency watoo low to light the ray tube. Most likely this instrument had a fixed carrier frequency of around 40 MHso that two M.O.Rs could be used *simultaneously. The only thing we are not told in these documenis the audio frequency at switch 3 dial number 85.50. Both what Rife said in his deposition and the RifRay # 4 paperwork confirm that the audio frequency needed to be modulated with the BX M.O.R. frequency of 1,604,000 hertz in order for it to work. Maybe this is the reason no one has been able to gRifes cancer frequencies to work very well. The effect this audio frequency would create is a pulsinin the M.O.R. of the BX. Is it possible this pulsing or shaking effect is what caused the organism tcome apart? This may be a part of the answer but there is more we need to understand and we w

talk about this. In the summer of 1936 Rife made a lab video in which he showed the method he useto find the BX cancer virus. He also showed in this film the waveforms of the frequencies his instrument put out. Since it was the summer of 1936 the only two instruments he was using at this timwould have been the Rife Ray #3 which was used in the 1934 clinic sponsored by Dr. Milbank Johnsoor the Rife Ray #4 which had been built by Philip Hoyland and completed by the fall of 1935. With thin mind we know that the wave forms are from one of these two instruments. Most likely it was frothe Rife Ray #4 because Rife is shown using this instrument in the film. Either way it really doesnmatter because the wave forms show he was using AM modulation. The first three photos show a sinwave frequency of either the sine wave carrier or the audio frequency or both. The other two show h

AM audio modulation.

These photos are proof that Rifes instruments were using audio frequencies in 1936 contrary twhat has been previously believed. The first engineer that I showed this video to said that it was really lousy form of AM modulation compared to what we can do today. This is what we would expe

*Dr. Rife "We found the frequency of the virus, we found the frequency of the rod, which we had for years of course. But we use the two of them simultaneously over the same carrier wave, the patient gets well and the Guinea pig gets well, butyou use one or either individually you either kill the patient or you don't do nothing".

from an instrument built in the 1930s. John Crane said on the lab video that it was the spikes of thesfrequencies that were the killers of the organisms. The sine waves we see in these photos resemble saw tooth wave form more than sine wave. In the third photo we can see that the oscillator is ovesaturating. There is nothing clean or pretty about these waveforms of Rifes instrument. Anyone looing at these waveforms can see they would be full of harmonics. Rife said he did not like harmonicand only used a pure frequency. But the fact is he did not have a spectrum analyzer in the 1920s o1930s. His instrument was a M.O.P.A. and M.O.P.A. transmitters output a lot of harmonics and this why they are illegal today. When we put the M.O.P.A. 1950s AZ-58 design on a spectrum analyze

the harmonics from the carrier frequency went to over 100 MHz. Rife probably never really understoothat his instrument was outputting many harmonics from the carrier frequency. This makes one wondeif it is entirely possible that the M.O.R. for the BX is a harmonic frequency of 1,604,000 hertz? If it then we would want an instrument that would produce all the harmonics the same way that the olM.O.P.A. instruments did. There are other statements that also verify Rifes statements that he wausing audio frequencies from the very beginning. The fact that the 1934 instrument could modulate aaudio frequency is described by Rife in this statement we previously quoted:

Rife: You know we had an idea when we had our [1934] Clinic in La Jolla, of course that was batterand motor generator operated that set, you know, and boy it would sure raise the devil with all the radios so we had a couple of cars that was equipped with car radios and we sent them out and we woul

take the switch of that thing, and had a code you know like an S.O.S., and one of them went up northand one of them went south from La Jolla. Before we started in we wanted to see how far we were going to disturb things (John Marsh collection - Trip to Ohio papers page 7. www.rife.org)

In order to be able to put out an S.O.S. type signal he would have had to modulate the audio frequency onto a carrier in order for the radios to pick up the signal. On the John Marsh collection of Rifaudio CDs, Dr. Couche makes an interesting comment about the #3 instrument. He was present at th1934 clinic sponsored by Dr. Johnson and the University of Southern California. He stated:

Dr. Couche: They gave him a treatment of the Rife frequencies which are in the auditorband. (John Marsh Rife CDs - CD 3 track 1)

This statement of Dr. Couches verifies that audio frequencies were used by the Rife Ray #3Though Couche did not understand everything about this instrument he did know they were using audio frequencies in the instrument. We also know that Rifes RF M.O.R. frequencies were also used bthis instrument. This statement along with the other quotes of Rifes read earlier, verifies that the 193instrument was a super-regeneration type instrument which used both a high frequency M.O.R. and aaudio frequency. Here is a statement made by Rife of the full range of his frequencies:

Rife: Some of them are in the visible band, or I mean not only the visible band but, uh, band of frequencies audible to the human ear. Some of them are way beyond either way. They run through very, very large gamut. Some of them are very, very broad, long. Some of them are...not extreme

short. There are none of them what we call our ultra short wave that I have found yet. Well theremany of them...we would, uh, classify in the ultrasonic band because theyre not visible [sic] with thhuman ear. Theyre way beyond you know. And some of them are even in the broadcast band. Youcancer is very high. You cant hear it, the oscillation. But now you take your T.B. [Tuberculosis]. Nothats down. A little more you see...if you dont have an absolute coordinative resonance, you havnothing. One tenth of one meter off and you have nothing. Its got to be absolutely correct for that indvidual organism. Its got to be precise...the virus of cancer has a certain frequency. And it has to bthere, otherwise if its a little one way or the other, no good, no good for nothing. Infrared will penetrate, yes, but the heat is not the thing because the heat is not the frequency, its [Infrared] way down the very low band of frequencies and the laboratory rate of the BX is up into the high band. (JohMarsh Rife CDs - CD 5 track 2, CD 6 track 2, CD 7 track 1 and CD 9 track 1)

In these statements Rife clearly explains the broad range of his frequencies. Some were audand could be heard by the human ear, others are in the ultrasonic range and some are even in thbroadcast band. Cancer he said was very high. He states the frequencies have to be very accurate work. One tenth of one meter off and they would not work at all. This one tenth of a meter is molikely the reason Rife used a super-regenerative or mixing circuit in his instruments. I think all of thesstatements we have read, waveforms we have looked at and Rifes own words should have proven thaRife was using audio frequencies right from the beginning of his work in 1920. The whole concept osuper-regeneration I believe will now come together and make sense.

Super-regeneration or mixing of the audio frequencies

Next we need to take a look at this principle of mixing the audio frequency back into the circuAs mentioned earlier in this article, Armstrong found that if he took a radio tube (what we would call transistor today) and fed the signal received by that tube back through the tube many times, he coulstrengthen the signal with each pass. We cant be 100% sure Rife used this principle of mixing the audio back into the circuit called super-regeneration or if he just modulated a single audio frequency ancalled it super-regeneration. But the evidence we will now take a look at shows it is almost certain hdid super-regenerate. The engineers we talked to said it probably would not need to be superegenerated more than about 20 to 50 times. The frequencies that would be produced are what will b

called in this paper octave steps. All the octave steps would have the same power level as the originfrequency. Along with these frequencies you would get any harmonics which may have been produced.

To show some of what would have been produced in this circuit we will start with the frequencof 2128 hertz. To the right in the graph you can see all the other frequencies which would also be produced and many more up to the limits of the bandwidth of the circuit if it was allowed to continue mixinunchecked. The interesting thing about a super-regenerative or mixing circuit is, it would output manaudio frequencies in octave steps. If 2128 was used and super-regenerated ten times then 10 octavsteps would have been produced. The last frequency as shown in the graph would have been 2128and this frequency is only 5 hertz different than the 10X frequency of 21275. These frequencies weused in an early 1940s instrument built by Verne Thompson and reverse engineered by Aubrey Scoon

These audio frequencies were in most cases 10 times higher than the audio frequencies used in thBXCarcinoma

1950s instruments which were also built by Verne Thompson. The 10X frequencies are in bold in bographs. Five of them are exactly the same and most all the rest are not off by very much. Some of thfrequencies may only be off because the instrument is nearly 65 years old and it has drifted a littleThis is what one would expect after nearly 65 years. Many of these old audio oscillators we testehave been off, depending on the band setting, 30 to 50 hertz or more. The higher the frequency thmore drift in the oscillator. This was a real problem mentioned in connection with *Hoylands BeaRays instrument.

Now to continue on with how this super regenerative mixing circuit worked. The audio frequenc

used in the super regenerative mixing circuit and all of the created octave step frequencies would thebe modulated onto whatever carrier frequency Rife used. This means any organism treated was bombarded with many audio frequency octaves along with the RF M.O.R. frequency and its harmonics. this type of circuit the amplitude of all the audio frequencies would be the same. We can see that super-regenerative instruments had many harmonics in the carrier frequency and created many audio frequencies in octave steps which created many side band frequencies spaced at whatever audio frequency was used.

We mentioned a few paragraphs earlier that we believe that the one tenth of one meter mentioned by Rife is probably the key to the purposes of the audio frequencies. Rifes 1920s and 30s instruments were not very accurate. This was due to the electronic components of those days. Many the parts used in that era were 20% tolerance parts. Today we have digital readouts, but in those day

all they had was a dial with marks on it like the one shown on the next page. If Rifes instruments weeven 2% accurate he would have been very lucky. Even though you turned it to the same place on th

*Philip Hoyland: He was one of Rifes engineers. Hoyland built the Rife Ray #4 for Dr. Rife in 1935 and later became onof Rifes partners in a company called Beam Rays Corporation. The corporation was founded in the fall of 1936 in order build Dr. Rifes instruments for the purpose of selling them to doctors. All of the audio frequencies we have proven to comfrom Dr. Rife have wrongly been attributed to Hoyland. We will discuss how this happened in this article. In 1936 Hoylanbuilt a new instrument for the Beam Rays Company. This instrument was not built on Dr. Rifes original principles. AubreScoon purchased an old instrument and made the mistake of thinking it was an original Beam Rays Corporation instrumenWe will prove in this article that it was not one. This mistake caused many, including us, to believe that the audio frequecies came from Philip Hoyland instead of Rife. This mistake has caused all kinds of confusion about who really used thaudio frequencies first, Rife or Hoyland. We now know it was Rife. The frequencies with the * asterisk and in bold showabove in the frequency chart are the frequencies wrongly attributed to Hoyland.

dial you would not get the exact same frequency each time. We testean old oscillator that went from about 2 MHz to 5 MHz. This is abothe same range of the Rife Ray #4 on switch setting number 6, group 1The Rife Ray #4 ranged from 2.15 MHz to 4.85 MHz. The tests showewhen we set the dial at 2.5 MHz and then tried to come back to that frequency we were off the first time about 6,940 Hz, second 2,190 Hz anthe third time 3100 Hz. Then we tested 3.3 MHz and were off 17,10the first time, 10,190 the second time and 19,260 the third time. The

we tested 4.7 MHz and were off 17,950 the first time, 10,170 the seond time and 20,220 the third time. Each time we tried to make suthe frequency dial was centered on the mark. This proved to us that would have been all but impossible for anyone to ever hit a frequenc

within one tenth of one meter just by going back to the same dial setting. The next test we did was tfind out if Rife could have held a frequency within the one tenth of one meter tolerance he gave on thRife CDs. Our tests show that he could have done this with his instruments. This proved to us Rifcould have found out what frequency killed an organism within this tolerance. All these tests that wdid only convinced us more that Rifes instruments would have had to have used a super-regenerativmixing circuit in order for the people who used it to hit the frequency of an organism without using a mcroscope to verify they were on frequency.

These tests clearly showed us that Rifes original high RF frequencies would have been bapark numbers, hard to hit, for anyone turning a dial using his equipment. These tests we believe givus the reason why Rife would have used a super regenerative mixing circuit. Those old M.O.P.A. dsign instruments could wander + or - 30,000 hertz because of the old components used in them. A1,604,000 hertz the one tenth of one meter tolerance would be 858 hertz. Rife said that if you weoff by this amount it would not work. It would have been all but impossible for those doctors who usehis instruments to turn the dial and hit the exact frequency with those old instruments. A super regeerative mixing circuit would have solved the accuracy problem with this old equipment. If Rife used aaudio frequency of 700 hertz for the BX cancer virus, which would be less than the one tenth of onmeter, and then super regenerated it in his instrument 50 times he would have had 100 sidebandcovering a bandwidth of 35,000 hertz. Using this method it would have been very easy for those usin

his instruments to hit the correct M.O.R. of the organism. Depending on the quenching frequency usein this circuit Rife could have produced as many sideband frequencies as he desired. Using the ontenth of one meter as a measuring stick it is possible to figure out what audio frequency would be besfor the sideband spacing for each organism. Dr. Milbank Johnson had his Rife Ray #4 instrument mafunction. Most likely the super-regenerative quenching circuit malfunctioned and if it did it could produce thousands of sideband frequencies that could kill many organisms at the same time. This maexplain the effect Dr. Milbank Johnson wrote Dr. Gruner and Rife about in a November 4, 1936 letter.

Dr. Johnson: Last summer, in hunting for the M.O.R. for the other two reproductive forms of the cryptomyces pleomorphia, we ran into a new band of oscillations which introduced itself to us by killing athree forms - those that we called BX, our filter-passing form; then a transitional form such as yo

found in the monocytes in the blood; and then the third or highly developed form coming from the sporangius forming from the hyphas of the mycelium. At the same time that this new wave band arrivewe broke all the glass in the laboratory of a certain shape, not only in the room where we were workinbut in all the other rooms...we had been troubled a great deal with a mold because in the microscoproom there were no windows, but this band not only destroyed that mold, which was growing on thleather objects in the room, but every bacteriological culture that we had in the laboratory! It cleaned uout completely so we had to start from scratch and replace our losses. In fact, we were all so surprisethat we began to feel each others pulses to see if we were still alive. As no harm had been done to uwe proceeded to test the new band out on mice, rats, rabbits, guinea pigs and dogs. So far as we werable to discover, it is not at all destructive or injurious to normal cell tissue. While we have been forceto modify our machine so as to produce this new band, still it is so much more effective clinically tha


13/3713

we look upon it as a very advantageous discovery. However, our experience has forced us to do all our experimenting with the new ray completely outside of our laboratory building or abandon all form obacteriological experiments, because it instantly kills them all.

If we consider that a super-regenerative mixing circuit using a low audio frequency could produce, if desired, thousands of octave step frequencies up to the bandwidth of the circuit, then these frequencies when modulated would produce many thousands of side bands. Using this method, frequencies could be only 200 to 300 hertz apart. With a little drift in the carrier frequency, which was norm

in that type of instrument it is possible every M.O.R. frequency could be produced simultaneously. Thmay be the only explanation as to why this happened. As we said earlier only 20 to 50 octave stepwould have been used. But if the circuit malfunctioned then what Dr. Johnson described could havhappened. Dr. Johnson said they had to modify their instrument to make it produce the same effect thsecond time. If all Rifes RF M.O.R.s have harmonic frequencies in the lower bands, which it appeathey do, then it would be possible to simultaneously eliminate all the organisms at the same time as DJohnson was able to do. This I believe shows the inherent possibility of a super-regenerative instrment.

With everything we have now discovered about how a super-regenerative circuit worked, thfact that the 1934 #3, 1935 #4 and Beam Rays and 1940s and 50s instruments used audio frequencies seems to link all of Rifes instruments together in a way never before even considered. Th

knowledge seems to finally give us the answer to the question: Why was Rife working with an instrment that used only audio frequencies modulated onto a fixed carrier frequency in the 1950s? Thhas been a mystery that no one has been able to explain except to say it was Crane who came up witthe audio frequencies by dividing Rifes RF M.O.R. frequencies down until he reached the audio rangof frequencies. Which we now know is not true. Now that we have an understanding of how superegeneration would have worked the only logical explanation is the audio frequencies used in th1940s and 50s instruments must have been derived from the audio frequencies used in the 1920and 30s super regenerative mixing circuit. We will discuss these frequencies later on when we taabout the 1940s and 1950s instruments.

History of Rifes instruments and changes madeThere is not enough information to know exactly what Dr. Rife did in the early years, from 192

to about 1928. This is because very little documented information has survived. His lab notes detailin26 conditions and their frequencies have been preserved. The earliest information we have shows thhe used frequencies ranging from the audio range to just over 17 MHz. He used many different carrifrequencies at this time. People are beginning to experiment with these frequencies and are claiminvery good results.

The operation of the Rife Ray #3, #4 and Hoylands Beam Rays instruments along with the instruments that used only audio frequencies built in the 1940s and 1950s by Verne Thompson are nowsomewhat understood. The Beam Ray Corporation instruments of 1936-39 built by Philip Hoyland a

no longer as big a mystery as they once were. What was once thought to be an original Beam Ray istrument we now know is not one and was built by Verne Thompson in the 1940s. It is wrongly believed that the frequencies that were used in the instruments built in the 1940s by Verne Thompsoare the audio frequencies used by Philip Hoylands 1936-1939 Beam Ray Corporation instrumentThese are referred to as the 10X audio frequencies and will be discussed in more detail later on in tharticle.

Much of the information we currently have has come from a 1950s AZ-58 built from schematicand the knowledge of how super-regeneration instruments worked. Using an oscilloscope, what werwrongly believed to be Philip Hoylands audio frequencies are now known. Their possible correlation the 1950s instruments will also be discussed in greater detail in this article. In order to follow the evolution of Rifes technology, we will first examine the Rife Ray #3 that was built prior to 1934 and the


14/3714

his next instrument, the Rife Ray #4, that was built by Philip Hoyland in 1935. Then we will look at th1936-39 Beam Rays Corporation ray tube instrument followed by the AZ-58 ray tube and pad instruments built by Life Labs in the 1950s.

1934 Rife Ray #3 Super-Regeneration Instrument

1) Was a super-regenerative instrument that used a ray tube.2) Had three oscillators. One audio oscillator and two high frequency

oscillators. Because Rifes lab notes show two high frequencies, this instrumenthad to have had three oscillators of which two could have produced twoRF M.O.R. frequencies.

3) Output three sine wave frequencies. Had an audio oscillator forsuper-regeneration.

4) Power usage was from batteries. Output to the ray tube about 50 RF watts?

This instrument was used in the 1934 clinic by Dr. Milbank Johnson. In order to get a greateunderstanding of this instrument we will have to take a look at the frequency range of Dr. Rifes lanotes which he recorded prior to 1934. Each lab note had two frequencies. One was listed in cycleper second and the second was listed in meters. The super-regenerative audio frequencies are noknown. For the purpose of making this article easier to understand the meter frequency on Rifes lanotes have been converted to cycles per second or hertz. As we discussed earlier in this article DRife used at least two frequencies for each organism. One was in the audio range and the other in thRF range. The RF frequency was the M.O.R. and the other was the audio frequency for the spacing othe sidebands. In this instrument it appears from his lab note he used three frequencies for each oganism. Some have mistakenly believed that Rife only used audio frequencies. This is because DRife worked with John Crane and John Marsh in the 1950s with the AZ-58 instrument that used on

audio frequencies. The Rife Ray #3 frequencies listed on his lab notes are given below.

There isnt a lot more known about this instrument other than the fact that Hoyland said Rife hanot read the frequencies correctly off this instrument. We will cover this in detail when we discuss thRife Ray #4.

1935 Rife Ray #4 Super-Regeneration Instrument

1) Was a super-regenerative instrument that used a ray tube.2) Had three separate oscillators. One audio oscillator and two high frequency oscillators

that produced 2 frequencies from 87,000 hertz to 22.5 MHz..3) Power usage was about 450 to 600 watts. Output to the ray tube about 50 RF watts.

Some have asked how we can be sure these photos we have are of the Rife Ray #4. It is a simple process of deductive reasoning. John Crane, one of Rifes 1950s business partners, misdated thRife Ray #4 as a 1942 instrument and this has led to the confusion. We will now clear up this confusion. In the photo above on the right we have Rife using the instrument Crane dated as built in 1942


16/3716

The lab film this picture was taken from was made in the summer of 1936 for use at a confeence Rife was going to attend later on that fall. He was going to this conference to demonstrate thisolation of the BX cancer virus. This properly dates the instrument as having been built before thsummer of 1936 and shows Crane was incorrect. In the background of this photo, behind the instrument Rife is using, we see his 1934 instrument back against the wall. Therefore this instrument wouhave been built in late 1935 or early 1936. The Rife Ray #4 documents show it was completed in thfall of 1935. This logically dates the instrument he is using in the 1936 film as the Rife Ray #4. Rifeattorney Bertrand Comperet said three of these instruments were built. Dr. Milbank Johnson, M.D

used one in his clinic in 1936 and Rife had one in his lab. It is not known where the third instrumewent.

With the proper dating of this instrument which shows it is the Rife Ray #4 we will now discuss in detail. The following information comes from the 1939 Beam Ray trial papers that are on Stan Truman's site, www.rife.org, and various other documents. Anyone who wishes to can read these paperWe will tell the story and quote from the various documents as necessary.

We said earlier in this article that Hoyland said Dr. Rife had not read his frequencies correctland if this is true then all of his lab note frequencies prior to 1935 are incorrect. We will now discusthis controversy. Philip Hoyland was hired by Dr. Milbank Johnson, M.D. and the University of Southern California Special Medical Research Committee in 1935 to build a more up to date portable frequency instrument to be used for research by doctors. Dr. Rifes 1934 instrument was very cumbe

some and almost filled a whole wall in his lab. In order to build the new instrument, Hoyland needed tknow what frequencies Dr. Rife was using. So he brought to Dr. Rifes lab what we would call today aoscilloscope to read the frequencies. Up until about 1933 there was no such instrument that could easily and accurately measure frequencies. It was very difficult to read the correct frequencies prior to thtime unless you were very proficient at doing it. Philip Hoyland had to know exactly what frequencieDr. Rife was using in order to build the new instrument. On the stand in the 1939 trial Hoyland statethis about how he obtained the frequencies: (Beam Ray trial papers www.rife.org)

Hoyland: They were taken off the last machine [the 1934 instrument] that was built by Dr. Rife. transferred them from one machine to another.

At another point during the trial the transcript reads as follows:

Comperet: In June of 1935 was when you made an agreement with the [transcript missing words]medical research to build a Rife Ray machine, [the Rife Ray #4] you did build it soon after that?

Hoyland: Yes.

Comperet: You had an agreement with them that all work was to be done under Dr. Rifes direction?

Hoyland: Thats what the contract called for.

Comperet: Did you do this work without getting the frequencies from Dr. Rife?

Hoyland: I calibrated the machine according to the bacteria.

Comperet: What specifically did you do that constituted this recalibration?

Hoyland: I used a standard oscillator against his machine to see what frequencies he was using.

Comperet: He set his machine and you measured his frequencies?

Hoyland: Yes.


17/3717

Comperet: Did you make any memorandum of these particular frequencies?

Hoyland: Yes, I gave Dr. Johnson and Dr. Rife a list of them.

Later during the trial Dr. Rife was asked where the frequencies came from:

Judge Kelly: When you constructed this Beam Ray machine [the1934 instrument] you had a dial representing the frequencies or harmonics?

Rife: We had many dials on the original machine.

Judge Kelly: Is that the machine Mr. Hoyland got the frequencies from?

Rife: Yes, he took them off that old machine [the 1934 instrument].

From the court testimony given by Rife and Hoyland we see the frequencies were read by Hoyland off of the 1934 instrument and used in the next instrument which was the Rife Ray #4. Now letcontinue on reading the court testimony:

Comperet: Now going back to your assumption that Dr. Rife knew the frequencies, had Mr. Hoylanever told you that Dr. Rife knew them?

Edwards: No, he told me that Dr. Rife only thought he had them.

Comperet: What did you think that meant?

Edwards: Well, Mr. Hoyland told me about that time [1934 and before], that Dr. Rife measured the frequencies only by the length of the wire and that he did not take other factors into consideration.

Here in the court testimony we just read that Dr. Rife had not read the frequencies correct

when he measured them. This was a very easy mistake to make in the 1920s and 30s. But the requestion is did Rife really misread his frequencies? The frequencies Hoyland read off of Dr. Rifes #instrument were different than the earlier lab note frequencies recorded by Rife. This has caused a loof confusion. Perhaps Dr. Rife read a harmonic of the frequency instead of the correct frequency. appears this may have been what Rife did. Dr. Rife understood how easy it was to read a harmonfrequency instead of the correct frequency and recognized that he may not have had true fundamentafrequencies. He stated:

Rife: Ive talked to you [John Crane] and Verne [Verne Thompson] and other people too that thermay be some of the frequencies that we are using that may be harmonics, you know...Its not an impossibility that some of those frequencies may be a harmonic. We may not know the true frequencies o

some of them. But it does the business. Maybe if we had the true frequency it would do it better because it has more power than a harmonic. (John Marsh Rife CDs - CD 7 track 2)

What needs to be said here is Hoyland was claiming in court that he was the real brains behinRifes technology. There is no question that Hoyland was trying to make Rife look bad. But also thfact is, there were different frequencies used in the Rife Ray #4 and we cannot ignore this. The reanswer may be the fact that Rifes #3 was a super-regeneration instrument. In a super-regeneratioinstrument that used audio frequencies and two high RF M.O.R. frequencies a lot of harmonics woulbe created. If you use the two high frequencies Rife wrote on his lab note for the BX (cancer) whicare 11,780,000 hertz and 17 6/10th meters or 17,045,000 hertz you could get a very strong harmonic a1,604,000. This frequency is the frequency used for the BX in the Rife Ray #4. This possibility alon


18/3718

may show that Rife was not misreading his frequencies but that Hoyland only read a strong harmoniat 1,604,000 hertz and he used this strong harmonic in the Rife Ray #4 and it worked. Maybe Hoylanused these lower frequencies because it would be easier to build an instrument with them and as saiearlier he was only trying to make Rife look bad. It is hard to believe that Rife would be off by 10 to 1million hertz and not know it. This would be a far stretch for almost anyone's imagination. Another possibility is Rife was tuning his instrument to 11,780,000 hertz and then he would tune the wavelength to17 6/10 meters. Whatever frequency that came out was the true M.O.R of the organism and this frequency or a harmonic was 1,604,000 hertz. No matter how we look at it Rife just could not be that in

ept. In the list below are the Rife Ray #4 frequencies Hoyland read off of Dr. Rifes 1934 instrument.

We mentioned audio frequencies being used when we talked about super-regeneration. The lisof the audio frequencies from the Rife Ray #4 are only known as switch settings. The only thing w

can do is use the one tenth of one meter as a measuring stick to figure out the best possible audiofrequencies. We can also try the 1950s audio frequencies but they would place the sidebands a littlfurther apart than the one tenth of one meter. But it is possible that they were the audio frequencieused in the Rife Ray #4 and we cannot overlook this possibility. Putting all speculation aside we aronly sure of one thing. Rife used super-regeneration and these instruments used the combination othe high frequency RF M.O.R. which was modulated with an audio frequency and possibly the octavsteps produced in the super-regenerative mixing circuit. This type of instrument would have created akinds of interference with radio stations. Lets consider the harmonics from the carrier going to at leas100 Megahertz and the many sidebands created from the super-regenerative audio circuit. This woulhave produced interference which today would make it impossible to use without a faraday cage. Ithis statement Rife indicated the 1934 instrument did create problems for radios:

Rife: You know we had an idea when we had our Clinic in La Jolla, of course that was battery and motor generator operated that set, you know, and boy it would sure raise the devil with all the radios...Before we started in we wanted to see how far we were going to disturb things with it you knowand incidentally we had it in a steel room, a steel lined vault...but it didnt make much difference. (JohMarsh collection - Trip to Ohio papers page 7. www.rife.org)

This description of the 1934 instrument given by Rife resembles the kind of interference onewould expect from a super-regenerative transmitter. But, on the other hand, it is not the kind of inteference that would be expected from an instrument that put out just one modulated sine wave frequency. We will now talk about the next instrument built by Philip Hoyland.

1936-39 Super-Regeneration Beam Ray Corporation instrument

1) Was a super-regenerative instrument that used a ray tube.2) Had two oscillators; one audio and one RF. Also had a fixed carrier possibly 4.68 MHz

3) Modulated sine wave audio frequencies onto the variable RF carrier frequency M.O.R.4) Power usage was about 450 to 600 watts. Output to the ray tube about 50 RF watts.

Just as with the Rife Ray #4 we must determine what a Beam Rays Corporation instrumenlooked like. The reason we need to determine this is because unless we know what those instrumentreally looked like we may think we have a true Beam Rays instrument and find out later that it is noone. This is exactly what happened. We mentioned this earlier and will talk about this in this part othe article. First we will prove the photos we have are photos of Beam Rays instruments. The instrument above on the left is a photo of one of three instruments owned by Dr. James B. Couche which hpurchased from Beam Rays Inc. Dr. Couche sold this instrument to Dr. Tully in 1951. This photo giveus an instrument we can make comparisons against when looking at other instruments. The abov

photo on the right is of Dr. Rife and Philip Hoyland his engineer and business partner in Beam RayCorporation. In the photo is an instrument. We will prove that this instrument is also a Beam Rays instrument by making some comparisons. This photo of Rife and Hoyland was taken for a May 6, 193newspaper article published by the San Diego Tribune. In the newspaper the caption below the photsaid: Royal Raymond Rife, left and Philip Hoyland with Rife ray apparatus. At this time Beam Raywas selling their instruments to doctors and this front page newspaper article had the capability of seling a lot of instruments. It is only logical they would have used the instrument they were selling. Thnext two photos below are close up photos of these instruments. You will notice the similarities o


20/3720

these two instruments. They are almost exactly alike except for the case. Dr. Couches instrument wain a case that extended all the way down to the floor. It had handles on the side and most likely hawheels on the bottom which would make it very easy to move around. Both instruments have two oscillator dials which are exactly alike and they both go to 100. They both have power meters all the waover to the right next to where the ray tube is connected. They both also have a tuning eye above thdial to the right for calibrating the instrument. Below the dial to the left was a power indicator lamp. DCouches instrument had a timer below the power meter to help him make sure he treated the patienfor the correct amount of time. The filament, sweep and output switches are not clearly marked o

Couches instrument but we can see what appears to be three different switches, two below the centeoscillator and one below the timer. The comparison we have just made with Dr. Couches Beam Rayinstrument shows they are both Beam Rays instruments.

Next let us take a look at the photos above. This instrument was mistaken for a Beam Rays instrument. It was at one time for sale on www.Rife.org. John Bedini and a group of men who haworked with John Crane for a year and a half considered purchasing it. After careful examination the

found that this instrument was not a Beam Rays instrument but was built by Verne Thompson in th1940s. Thompson was a radio repairman who worked on the police radios for the San Diego policdepartment. Rife had him doing all the repairs on the instruments after Beam Rays Corporation haclosed down. Verne Thompson built several machines in the 1940s. He also built the 1950s AZ-5which Rife, Crane and Marsh used. Aubrey Scoon and a group of men from England purchased thabove instrument believing it was a Beam Rays instrument. The real Beam Rays instrument waknown to be full of harmonics. Because Scoons group used the wrong main output tube in repairing the instrument had a lot of harmonics. This convinced them even further into believing they had a reaBeam Rays instrument. A few years ago I was communicating with Aubrey about this instrument. Ithe course of our communications he told me that he had used the wrong main output tube in the instrument when they fixed it. Because they had used the wrong tube the instrument had a lot of ha

monics in the carrier frequency. He said that when they discovered this mistake they put the propetube in and all the harmonics were gone. Scoon mentions the change of this tube on his web site. Aof the photos of waveforms on his web site are of an instrument that is malfunctioning. This simplmistake, that anyone could make, led to a great deal of confusion causing many to believe this instrument was a Beam Rays instrument.

Both James Burger and I built Scoons instrument with the correct tubes and found that the Routput is clean and has no visible harmonics on an oscilloscope. This confirmed to us what Aubrey hadsaid about using the proper tube. It also proved that it didn't have the harmonics which the genuinBeam Rays instruments had. This was even more of a confirmation that Scoon's instrument was not Beam Rays instrument. The frequencies obtained from this instrument are very important because thiinstrument shows that Verne Thompson early in the 1940s changed the instrument so that it only use


21/3721

audio frequencies modulated onto a fixed carrier frequency. It also confirms that different audio frequencies were used in this early 1940s instrument than were used later in the 1950s instrumentsThis Thompson instrument worked almost in an identical way to the 1950s AZ-58 except it used sinwave audio frequencies and the AZ-58 used square wave audio frequencies. Thompsons early 194instrument also used audio frequencies about 10 times higher than the 1950s instruments. The frequency graph shown earlier (page 10 & 11) has those frequencies listed in bold with the asteriskWhen we built this instrument and compared it to the 1950s instrument we found the AZ-58 appears tbe the better design since it was built later in the 1950s.

When we compare the above photos of these two instruments side by side they look nothinalike. The Beam Rays instrument on the left has two oscillator dials for two different frequencies. ThVerne Thompson instrument on the right has only one audio oscillator dial represented by the largknob in the center. The two other little dials are for changing the band settings of the audio frequencieand the amplitude. Having shown that these are two different instruments let us now take a look at thhistory of the Beam Rays Corporation. Philip Hoyland became Rifes Engineer in 1935 when he buithe Rife Ray #4. In 1936 Hoyland started building a new instrument to be used in the newly formeBeam Rays Corporation. Rife, Hoyland, Dr. Couche and several other men started this company i

order to commercially sell the instruments to doctors. Hoyland who it appears had a little larceny in hblood made changes to this new instrument without telling Dr. Rife about those changes. Hoyland alsfound different frequencies than Rifes #4 frequencies to use in this new instrument and claimed in thtrial that he was the real brains behind the frequency instruments. In the 1939 Beam Rays trial documents we find out where Hoylands new frequencies came from. Here is the trial testimony given bRife and Hoyland:

Comperet: Has the Plaintiff[Philip Hoyland] ever informed you that the machines that he designedand built for the Beam Ray were not operating on the same frequencies as your own?

Rife: They were supposed to be operating on the samewith harmonics.

Philip Hoyland when he was on the stand was asked:

Comperet: I understand that you say that the frequencies used in the machines put out by the corporation were not set to the same frequencies as Dr. Rifes machines [Rife Ray #4].

Hoyland: That is correct.

Comperet: Then it was during the period between September and November that you told Edwards ahis home that the machines you were building were not putting out the same frequencies as Dr. Rifemachines?


22/3722

Hoyland: Yes.

Comperet: How did you explain that?

Hoyland: In the summer of 1936 I designed a new machine, or rather I checked it there at the lab [ThBeam Rays instrument]. I had designed it in Pasadena, and we tested it out then and the frequenciewere not the same as on Dr. Rifes machine.

Comperet: Did you tell him how great the difference it was?

Hoyland: I explained that there was quite a fundamental difference.[Harmonic frequencies]

Comperet when asked a question by Judge Kelly said this:

Comperet: Hoyland has said that the design and the frequencies of the machine itself is not that of Rife Ray machine, and that the machine is in fact different. The company will have to have these machines junked, must draw up new designs according to Dr. Rifes ideas, must have Dr. Rife ok thesdesigns, etcDr. Rife is not going to be a party to a fraud, and if the machines we sell are not the truRife machines they are a fraud. (Beam Ray trial papers www.rife.org)

When Edwards was on the stand he said this:

Comperet: Did Mr. Hoyland tell you at any time in the fall of last year that the machines he was manufacturing for Beam Ray corporation operated on a principle fundamentally different from Dr. Rifes machine?

Edwards: Mr. Hoyland told me at one time that Dr. Rife thought that he had the frequencies but hdidnt have them [here Edwards is talking about the Beam Rays Corporation instruments not the RifRay #4 instrument because Hoyland said, on the stand, that he gave the Rife Ray #4 frequencies tDr. Johnson and Dr. Rife in 1935]. (Beam Ray trial papers www.rife.org)

Philip Hoyland also said this on the stand:

Hoyland: Regarding the frequencies of the machine [Beam Ray Corporation instrument], you will remember me telling you that the frequencies used are not the same ones on the Rife machine [The RifRay #4]. They[The Rife Ray #4] were in the upper bands [139,000 hertz to 17,045,000 hertz]. (BeamRay trial papers www.rife.org)

Though what Hoyland did was not right there are some good reasons why he built the instruments the way he did. Rife and Hoyland became partners in Beam Rays Corporation in 1936. Rifhad 45% ownership and Hoyland had 55%. Hoyland was worried about keeping the frequencies a se

cret because he felt people would try and steal their technology. This concern of Hoylands was nounfounded because Mr. Parsons of the British Group did try to steal their instrument. From the trial wlearn they had no way to patent the instrument because everything they were doing was in public domain. Hoyland felt that he had to come up with a way to keep anyone from finding out what the trufrequencies (frequencies in the upper bands) were. So he built the instrument a different way usinharmonic frequencies of the Rife Ray #4 frequencies. In 1939 Rife sent a letter to Dr. Gonin and commented on the changes Hoyland made:

Rife: I spoke only Friday evening to a Mr. John Chamblin, a radio man now connected with BeamRays Inc., about the redesign and building of a device according to the old Rife Ray principles; as th

present instrument has been so deviated away from that old principle that it is nowhere near th

same...those devices which you have are merely working on a harmonic and not a true frequency; anin our research on electronics, we definitely know that there is no possible way of controlling electricharmonics of a frequency. (Rife to Gonin letter May 14, 1939)

We are not 100% positive that Hoyland super-regenerated the audio frequencies in the BeamRays instrument but it is highly likely that he did. These instruments would have the same problemwith accuracy as the Rife Ray #4. Hoyland said in the trial that Rifes frequencies were in the uppebands and his were in the lower bands. This would have to do with the RF M.O.R. frequencies and no

the audio frequencies. The reason we know this is because Rifes RF M.O.R.s were in the uppebands and his super-regenerated audio frequencies were already in the lower bands. Let us now taka close look at the Beam Rays instrument photo below.

From the evolution of the Rife Ray document we know the instrument had a fixed carrier. Yo

will notice in the above photo that the instrument has two oscillator dials which would produce two frequencies. One would have been for the super-regenerated audio frequency and the other would havbeen for a lower harmonic RF M.O.R. frequency. The fact that it had two oscillators indicates it wasuper-regenerated. What lower harmonic RF M.O.R. frequencies were used is not known but thewould have been calculated from the Rife Ray #4 frequencies. The super-regenerated audio frequencies used in this instrument would have been lower audio frequencies because the RF M.O.R. frequencies were lower. Hoyland put a lot of work into this instrument and didnt finish it until late 1936. Benjamin Cullen said Philip Hoyland spent a lot of time at the lab. In Cullens taped interview he said this:

Cullen: Philip Hoyland was in there quite a lot...Hoyland developed some few items in thlab...Hoyland seemed to help quite a lot and he got into the bacteriology side with Rife a good deal be

cause Rife had so much to work out...he finally got to the point where he [Rife] had to delegate some othe work. (John Marsh Rife CDs, CD 6 track 1)

From the trial we learn Hoyland developed and tested his instrument in the lab. How could Hoyland have tested it unless he put micro-organisms under the microscope? From the trial papers wlearn that Hoyland didnt tell Rife what frequencies he was using in the instruments. Rife thought thinstruments were using his frequencies (the upper band frequencies) but with harmonics. We reaearlier Dr. Rife eventually found out about this and was very unhappy that the instruments were noworking on his frequencies and principles. Even though Hoyland changed the instrument it stworked. In fact the doctors that used them reported astounding results with their patients. Hoylanwas most likely still using Rifes principles but only used lower RF M.O.R. harmonic frequencies.

After the 1939 Beam Rays trial Rife and Hoyland ended their association. Rife had to get another engineer to build and repair instruments. Verne Thompson eventually became his engineesometime around 1940. Verne built the next generation of instruments which we will discuss next.

Verne Thompsons Early 1940s Instrument

1) Used a ray tube.2) Used 4.68 fixed carrier.3) Modulated sine wave audio frequencies onto a sine wave carrier frequency.4) Power usage was about 460 watts. Output to the ray tube about 15 watts.

We now know that this instrument was built by Verne Thompson in the early 1940s. It is molikely the first instrument built that only used audio frequencies modulated onto a fixed carrier frequency. It also stands to reason that Rife was involved in the building of this instrument since Rife haThompson fixing the old Beam Rays instruments. The puzzling question is why would Thompsochange the instrument to this design when Rifes earlier instruments work better. The FCC is mo

likely the answer. The frequencies that Rife used in his original equipment were in the A.M band. Bthe 1940s they would have been interfering with many radio stations. Super-regenerative instrumentwere eventually made illegal. Stricter bandwidth regulations were being made to protect the airwaveThis would have meant that Rife could no longer build his original instruments without those who puchased them using a faraday cage. I think Rife really had no choice but to change the instrumenVerne Thompson was making a living building and repairing radios. He would not have been willing

jeopardize his FCC license and lose his income. When one understands what really was happening radio communications at this time it is easy to see what most likely brought about the changes in Rifeinstruments. Out of these circumstances the limited audio frequency instrument was born. Below arthe frequencies used in this early 1940s instrument. These audio frequencies must have been derivefrom the audio frequencies used in the super-regenerative mixing circuit and were output sine wave.

1950s AZ-58 Life Labs ray tube instrument

1) Used a ray tube.2) Could change between 2.2 and 5 MHz sine wave carrier frequency (First used 4.68 carrier).

3) Modulated square wave audio frequencies onto a sine wave carrier frequency.4) Power usage was about 460 watts. Output to the ray tube about 15 watts.

We have learned that the 1950s AZ-58 design instrument began with Verne Thompson in th1940s. We will cover this information in more depth. This style of instrument has never worked awell as the Rife Ray #4 or the Beam Rays instruments built by Philip Hoyland. From the stress of thBeam Rays trial, Rife became an alcoholic and all that he had worked so hard to accomplish was amost destroyed. Many of the doctors had returned their instruments because of AMA threats. All bone or two of these returned Beam Rays instruments Rife parted out and sold to anyone who wanteradio parts. Under these circumstances the AZ-58 style instrument was built. Rife didnt like the hamonics of Hoylands Beam Rays instrument and could no longer build it because of FCC regulations

The FCC began policing the airwaves in 1935. Super-regenerative instruments produced too manharmonics and interfered with radio stations and were eventually outlawed. These were the conditionthat Verne Thompson was working under when he built the AZ-58 style of instrument. This style of instrument no longer used the RF M.O.R. frequencies anymore. Audio frequencies were used but thewere not super-regenerated. They were individually modulated onto a fixed carrier. In the early 1940when Thompson started building this new type of instrument Rife was an alcoholic, depressed and despondent. Rife probably left Verne to build it his own way. At this time hundreds of new radio stationwere being granted licenses and the RF M.O.R. frequencies were all in the radio band of frequencieand would interfere with these new broadcasting stations. This is most likely the reason Verne madthese changes and quit using the RF M.O.R.s. Thompsons design was also less powerful than thBeam Rays instrument. The Beam Rays instrument output 50 watts out of the ray tube and Thomp

sons design only output 15 watts. This was also most likely done to make sure the fixed carrier frequency would not interfere with radio stations. It is logical to assume Verne would have derived thaudio frequencies from the super-regenerative audio frequencies used in either the Rife Ray #4 or ThBeam Rays instrument which he was fixing. Thompson most likely knew nothing about the Rife Ray #which had been built 5 or 6 years earlier. He would have most likely used the audio frequencies Rifgave him as a basis for deriving the new audio frequencies that were to be used in this new style of instruments. The frequencies used in the Beam Rays instruments and the early 1940s instrument wersine wave and this was not changed until the 1950s. This is when John Crane and John Marsh meDr. Rife. In Rifes 1961 deposition he said he gave Crane his frequencies in 1950. Since the audio frequencies used in the early 1940s were higher than those used in the 1950s AZ-58 there must bsome explanation for this. John Crane said that the first instruments they built in 1953 didnt work ve


26/3726

well. Perhaps they first tried the higher audio frequencies and eventually found that when they lowerethe frequencies and changed them to square wave they worked better. We can only speculate on whreally happened. Below are three photos of instruments Verne Thompson built. The first instrumen

going from right to left was built in the early 1940s. The second is believed to have been built in thmid to late 1940s but some of the transformers are 1960s vintage which may indicate it was built ithe 1950s or 60s. The audio frequencies used in it were even lower than the 1950s AZ-58. The thiis one of the AZ-58 instruments built by Verne Thompson in the 1950s for Rife, Crane and Marsh oLife Labs Co. This instrument is the most significant because we have more information about wh

went on in the 1950s than any period before this. At this time in the 1950s Crane and Marsh recordeinterviews with Dr. Rife, Dr. Couche, Ben Cullen, Henry Siner and many other individuals who were keplayers in the early years of Rifes work.

All three of the instruments had one main frequency dial for adjusting the audio frequencieThe other two smaller dials were for adjusting the amplitude and changing the audio frequency bandsThere is very little difference in the way these instruments work. We built two of the three, tested themand found no significant difference other than the use of sine or square wave audio frequencies.

We will now cover the history of the instruments in the 1950s. Some of the following informatiocomes from the John Marsh collection of Rife audio CDs. In 1950 John Crane met Dr. Rife and 1952-53 he met John Marsh. Marsh became John Cranes supervisor at Convair Aeronautics wheMarsh moved from Tucson, Arizona to California. Marshs wife had cancer and they were not able t

help her in Tucson so the doctors recommended that he take her to San Diego for specialized careMarsh and Crane became friends. Crane told Marsh about Dr. Rife and so they went to see him. DRife gave them an old Hoyland Beam Rays instrument which they had Verne Thompson repair. Cranand Marsh then used this instrument on Marshs wife and after several treatments Marsh said that shfully recovered. Here are Marshs statements which he made in 1976 and 1986:

Marsh: (1976) I met this Rife. I said Dr. Rife, I said, my name is John Marsh, Ive got a wife thats dying. Shes got cancer of the uterus. Rife said: I wont touch that thing with a 20 yard pole.

After some discussion Rife said:

Rife: I have an old instrument down here in the basement.

Marsh: I dug up that old instrument and of course it had tubes in it, antique stuff, and so I rebuilt thdarn thing. (John Marsh Rife CDs, CD 10 track 1)

Marsh: (1986) I went to see him [Dr. Rife], and I talked with him and he said he didnt want to havany
