Preview Excerpt from
the book:
In the summer of 1934 in California, under the auspices of the
University of Southern California, a group of leading American
bacteriologists and doctors conducted the first successful cancer
clinic. The results showed that cancer was caused by a micro-organism,
that the micro-organism could be painlessly destroyed in terminally ill
cancer patients, and that the effects of the disease could be reversed.
The technical discovery leading to the cancer cure had been described in
Science magazine
in 1931. In the decade following the 1934 clinical success, the
technology and the subsequent, successful treatment of cancer patients
was discussed at medical conferences, disseminated in a medical journal,
cautiously but professionally reported in a major newspaper, and
technically explained in an annual report published by the Smithsonian
Institution.
However, the cancer cure threatened a number of scientists,
physicians, and financial interests. A cover-up was initiated.
Physicians using the new technology were coerced into abandoning it. The
author of the Smithsonian article was followed and then was shot at
while driving his car. He never wrote about the subject again. All
reports describing the cure were censored by the head of the AMA
(American Medical Association) from the major medical journals.
Objective scientific evaluation by government laboratories was
prevented. And renowned researchers who supported the technology and its
new scientific principles in bacteriology were scorned, ridiculed, and
called liars to their face. Eventually, a long, dark silence lasting
decades fell over the cancer cure. In time, the cure was labeled a
"myth"??it never happened. However, documents now
available prove that the cure did exist, was tested successfully in
clinical trials, and in fact was used secretly for years
afterwards??continuing to cure cancer as well as other diseases.
Yet, despite the blackout which prevented doctors and researchers
from knowing about and improving the cure, other scientific
investigators continued to verify the basic principles. In the late
1940s and early 1950s, cooperating researchers at a hospital laboratory
in New Jersey and a research institute in Pennsylvania made similar
discoveries which unknowingly aligned them with the California group of
a decade earlier. In 1950, these researchers prepared to make a
presentation before the New York Academy of Sciences. But again,
political forces intervened and the symposium was cancelled. Then, in
1953, the basic science which validated the theories of the California
group was explained by the New Jersey group at an international
microbiology conference in Rome, Italy. The New York Times and the
Washington Post reported the discovery.
However, upon the group's return to America, they discovered that
the same powerful forces which had prevented an American announcement in
1950 had secretly managed to terminate the financing of the New Jersey
laboratory. The leading researcher was forced to move to California and
start anew.
One of the many areas in which Pasteur and Bechamp argued concerned
what is today known as pleomorphism??the
occurrence of more than one distinct form of an organism in a single
life cycle. Bechamp contended that bacteria could change forms. A
rod-shaped bacteria could become a spheroid, etc. Pasteur disagreed. In
1914, Madame Victor Henri of the Pasteur Institute confirmed that
Bechamp was correct and Pasteur wrong.
But Bechamp went much further in his argument for pleomorphism. He
contended that bacteria could "devolve" into smaller, unseen
forms, what he called "microzymia." In other words, Bechamp
developed??on the basis of a lifetime of research??a
theory that micro-organisms could change their essential size
as well as their shape, depending on the state of health of the
organism in which the micro-organism lived. This directly contradicted
what orthodox medical authorities have believed for most of the 20th
century. Laboratory research in recent years has provided confirmation
for Bechamp's notion. An entire century of medicine and scientific
research might have been different if Pasteur's public authority and the
commercial gains to be realized from his faulty ideas had not
predominated.
A "typical" bacteria is about 1 micron in size, or
1/25,000 of an inch. Viruses range in size from 10 millimicrons (10
thousandths of a micron) to 300 millimicrons (300 thousandths of a
micron). Thus, the largest virus, according to the orthodox view, is a
quarter to a third the size of the average bacteria. This measurement is
important because 300 millimicrons also is the limit of resolution of
the light microscope. Viruses require an electron microscope to be seen
and electron microscopes kill the specimens. Only the very large
smallpox virus can be seen with a light microscope.
Since viruses passed through pores in a filter which held back
anything larger than 300 millimicrons, viruses were termed "filtrable
viruses" at one time. But eventually the terms "filtrable"
and "viruses" became synonymous. A virus was filtrable. But
bacteria, according to the orthodox view, could not be filtered to a
smaller, earlier stage. Here loomed a major battle in the war over
pleomorphism.
Another criterion for a virus is that it requires a living cell as
a host in order to reproduce. This fundamental distinction between
bacteria and viruses was announced by Dr. Thomas Rivers of the
Rockefeller Institute to the Society of American Bacteriologists in
December 1926. It helped to establish the foundation for his career as
well as to distinguish virology as a separate specialty within the
broader field of microbiology. In time, Rivers??because of his
scientific reputation, his quarrelsome personality, and the immense
financial resources at his disposal through the Rockefeller
Institute??became one of the most formidable men in American
microbiology. As Director of the Rockefeller Hospital from 1937 to 1955,
and as Vice-President of the Rockefeller Institute from 1953 until
illness and death removed him from a power role in American medicine,
not only did his ideas influence the leading virus researchers of the
next generation, but his personal training of a dozen or more of them
had a profound impact on research priorities well into the 1970s and
1980s. Unfortunately, Dr. Thomas Rivers was wrong about filtrable
bacteria.
Dr. Arthur Kendall was Director of the Hygienic Laboratory of the
Panama Canal Commission in 1904. The Hygienic Laboratory was the
forerunner of the National Institute of Health. In 1906, Kendall became
a bacteriologist at the Rockefeller Institute. This was followed by 3
years as an instructor at Harvard University Medical School (1909-1912).
In 1912, Kendall became head of the first wholly independent Department
of Bacteriology in America, at Northwestern University. In 1916, he was
appointed Dean of the Medical School. In 1924, Kendall became Professor
of Bacteriology and public health at Washington University in St. Louis,
Missouri. Then in 1928, he returned to Northwestern and shortly
afterwards began working with the California group which conducted the
first successful cancer clinic in 1934. In 1942 he retired from
Northwestern. More than 100 of his papers were published.
On December 11, 1931, Science magazine reported in its Science News
section that Dr. Kendall had filtered bacteria to a smaller form and
that these micro-organisms had remained alive on a medium of his
creation. His "K Medium" had broken down the typhoid bacillus
into a filtrable form. Moreover, using a special microscope, he was able
to see: (1) the full sized bacillus still unchanged, (2) other bacilli
in an intermediate stage between the filtrable and the non-filtrable
phases, and (3) still other, very small turquoise-blue bodies which were
the final bacillus form. This final form was the size of a virus, and
yet it was still a bacteria! The basis for Dr. Rivers' authority had
been challenged.
When the official publication of the California Medical
Association, California and Western Medicine, published the
incredible news in December 1931, and Dr. Kendall was invited to address
the Association of American Physicians, Rivers reacted. First he tried
to have Kendall's talk cancelled. When that was refused by the sponsors,
he insisted that he and Dr. Hans Zinsser of Harvard be allowed to speak
also. After Kendall made his presentation before the Association in May,
1932, Zinsser and Rivers publicly ripped Kendall apart, stating that
since they could not replicate Kendall's results, Kendall was lying. The
opposition mounted by Rivers and Zinsser was such that few scientists
and doctors of the time dared to support Kendall. Kendall could not
convince the orthodox "nonfiltration" school that experiments
done according to his techniques would validate his discovery. The
opposition group did not want to learn.
In 1974, Lida H. Mattman of the Department of Biology, Wayne State
University, published Cell-Wall Deficient Forms.
By then, pleomorphism was a proven
phenomenon although the orthodox school continued to ignore it. Mattman
wrote, "Current bacteriology holds the belief that each species of
bacteria has only a certain very simple form. . . . In contrast, this
writer, using carefully prepared pure cultures, found that bacteria pass
through stages with markedly different morphology." By 1982, when
Gerald J. Donigue of Tulane University School of Medicine published Cell-Wall Deficient Bacteria,
the suppression of Kendall's work for 50 years had obvious results.
Domingue writes:
"There is a considerable body of experimental and
clinical evidence??much of which has never been
published??supporting the concept that cell wall deficient
bacteria may be agents of disease. . . . There are no current books
whose primary focus is on the clinical significance of these unusual
bodies.... The most neglected research area has been on the role of
these organisms in disease."
Thus, 50 years after Kendall's discovery, even with substantial
evidence, the erroneous orthodox view continued to dominate medical
theory, cancer research, and cancer treatment. One of Kendall's renowned
supporters was Dr. Edward Rosenow of the Mayo Clinic. Rosenow was
viciously attacked by Thomas Rivers of the rival Rockefeller Institute.
As reported in the 1976 article in New
Age Journal, Rosenow's son, Dr. Edward C. Rosenow, Jr., Chief
Administrative Officer of the American College of Physicians,
"asserts that his father was all but accused by Rockefeller
Institute research moguls of experimental dishonesty."
Rosenow told his son, "They simply won't listen." (Rosenow's
son later told how, while a student of Zinsser's at Harvard, Zinsser had
admitted to Rosenow Jr. that he, Zinsser, had not even used Rosenow
Sr.'s medium in failing to duplicate and then condemning Rosenow's test
results.) In a paper presented to the New York Academy of Sciences in
1969, Dr. Virginia Livingston and Dr. Eleanor Alexander- Jackson
declared that a single cancer micro-organism exists. They said that the
reason the army of cancer researchers couldn't find it was because it
changed form. Livingston and Alexander-Jackson asserted:
"The organism has remained an unclassified
mystery, due in part to its remarkable pleomorphism
and its stimulation of other micro-organisms. Its
various phases may resemble viruses, micrococci, diptheroids, bacilli,
and fungi."
And yet, by 1986, despite the massive fundings of virus research,
more people than ever continued to die of cancer. Memorial
Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, the world's largest non-profit cancer
research center, and still the leading institutional opponent of
pleomorphism research and related cancer treatment in America, stated in
a 1986 fund-raising appeal that over 460,000 Americans died of cancer in
1985. (Sloan-Kettering's own 1975 tests had indicated pleomorphic
bacteriavirus in all cancer
blood tests, but they had buried the laboratory results.)
Cullen recalled: "Dr. Hamer ran an average of forty cases a
day through his place. He had to hire two operators. He trained them and
watched them very closely. The case histories were mounting up very
fast. Among them was this old man from Chicago. He had a malignancy all
around his face and neck. It was a gory mass. Just terrible. Just a red
gory mass. It had taken over all around his face. It had taken off one
eyelid at the bottom of the eye. It had taken off the bottom of the
lower lobe of the ear and had also gone into the cheek area, nose and
chin. He was a sight to behold." "But in six months all that
was left was a little black spot on the side of his face and the
condition of that was such that it was about to fall off. Now that man
was 82 years of age. I never saw anything like it. The delight of having
a lovely clean skin again, just like a baby's skin."
Another major institution which "staked its claim" in the
virgin territory of cancer research in the 1930-1950 period was Memorial
Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. Established in 1884 as the
first cancer hospital in America, Memorial Sloan-Kettering from 1940 to
the mid-1950s was the center of drug testing for the largest
pharmaceutical companies. Cornelius P. Rhoads, who had spent the 1930s
at the Rockefeller Institute, became the director at Memorial Sloan-
Kettering in 1939. He remained in that position until his death in 1959.
Rhoads was the head of the chemical warfare service from 1943-1945, and
afterwards became the nation's premier advocate of chemotherapy.
According to Dr. Virginia Livingston-Wheeler, "Dr. Rhoads was
determined to dictate the cancer policies of the entire country."
It was Dr. Rhoads who prevented Dr. Irene Diller from announcing
the discovery of the cancer micro-organism to the New York Academy of
Sciences in 1950. It also was Dr. Rhoads who arranged for the funds for
Dr. Caspe's New Jersey laboratory to be cancelled after she announced
the same discovery in Rome in 1953. And an I.R.S. investigation,
instigated by an unidentified, powerful New York cancer authority, added
to her misery. The laboratory was closed. Memorial Sloan-Kettering is
closely tied to the American Cancer Society. The American Cancer Society
was founded in 1913 by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. and his business
associates. Reorganized after the war, the power positions on its board
were taken by pharmaceutical executives, advertising people,
Sloan-Kettering trustees, and other orthodox treatment proponents. The
American Cancer Society has enormous influence in the cancer world
because its public appeals generate large amounts of money for research.
As Ralph W. Moss, former Assistant Director of Public Affairs at
Memorial Sloan- Kettering Cancer Center, made explicit, "The
Society now has tens of millions of dollars to distribute to those who
favor its growing power, and many
powerful connections to disconcert those who oppose it."
Thus the major players on the cancer field are the doctors, the
private research institutions, the pharmaceutical companies, the
American Cancer Society, and also the U.S. govemment through the
National Cancer Institute (organizing research) and the Food and Drug
Administration (the dreaded FDA which keeps the outsiders on the
defensive through raids, legal harassment, and expensive testing
procedures). Rife
believed that the minuteness of the viruses made it impossible to stain
them with the existing acid or aniline dye stains. He'd have to find
another way. Somewhere along the way, he made an intuitive leap often
associated with the greatest scientific discoveries. He conceived first
the idea and then the method of staining the virus with light.
He began building a microscope which would enable a frequency of light
to coordinate with the chemical constituents of the particle or
microorganism under observation.
Rife's second microscope was finished in 1929. In an article which
appeared in the Los Angeles Times Magazine on
December 27, 1931, the existence of the light staining method was
reported to the public:
"Bacilli may thus be studied by their light,
exactly as astronomers study moons, suns, and stars by the light which
comes from them through telescopes. The bacilli studied are living
ones, not corpses killed by stains."
In 1931, the two men who provided the greatest professional support
to Royal R. Rife came into his life. Dr. Arthur I. Kendall was Director
of Medical Research at Northwestern University Medical School in
Illinois. Dr. Milbank Johnson was a member of the board of directors at
Pasadena Hospital in California and an influential power in Los Angeles
medical circles. Together, Rife, Kendall and Johnson slowly and
carefully began an assault on the scientific and medical orthodoxies of
their time.
Dr. Kendall had invented a protein culture medium (called "K
Medium" after its inventor) which enabled the "filterable
virus" portions of a bacteria to be isolated and to continue
reproducing. This claim directly contradicted the Rockefeller
Institute's Dr. Thomas Rivers who in 1926 had authoritatively stated
that a virus needed a living tissue for reproduction. Rife, Kendall and
others were to prove within a year that it was possible to cultivate
viruses artificially. Rivers, in his ignorance and obstinacy, was
responsible for suppressing one of the greatest advances ever made in
medical knowledge. A typhoid germ was put in the "K Medium,"
triple-filtered through the finest filter available, and the results
examined under Rife's microscope. Tiny, distinct bodies stained in a
turquoise-blue light were visible. Kendall could "see" the
proof of what he had demonstrated by other means. Two historic
breakthroughs in science had happened. The virus cultures grew in the
"K Medium" and were visible. The viruses could be
"light" stained and then classified according to their own
colors under Rife's unique microscope.
A later report which appeared in the Smithsonian's annual
publication gives a hint of the totally original microscopic technology
which enabled man to see a deadly virus-size micro-organism in its live
state for the first time (the electron microscope of later years kills
its specimens):
"Then they were examined under the Rife microscope
where the filterable virus form of typhoid bacillus, emitting a blue
spectrum color, caused the plane of polarization to be deviated 4.8
degrees plus. When the opposite angle of refraction was obtained by
means of adjusting the polarizing prisms to minus 4.8 degrees and the
cultures of viruses were illuminated by the monochromatic beams
coordinated with the chemical constituents of the typhoid bacillus,
small, oval, actively motile, bright turquoise-blue bodies were
observed at 5000 X magnification, in high contrast to the colorless
and motionless debris of the medium. These tests were repeated 18
times to verify the results."
Following the success, Dr. Milbank Johnson quickly arranged a
dinner in honor of the two men in order that the discovery could be
announced and discussed. More than 30 of the most prominent medical
doctors, pathologists, and bacteriologists in Los Angeles attended this
historic event on November 20, 1931. Among those in attendance were Dr.
Alvin G. Foord who 20 years later would indicate he knew little about
Rife's discoveries and Dr. George Dock who would serve on the University
of Southern California's Special Research Committee overseeing the
clinical work until he, too, would "go over" to the
opposition.
On November 22, 1931, the Los Angeles Times reported
this important medical gathering and its scientific significance:
"Scientific discoveries of the greatest magnitude,
including a discussion of the world's most powerful microscope
recently perfected after 14 years effort by Dr. Royal R. Rife of San
Diego, were described Friday evening to members of the medical
profession, bacteriologists and pathologists at a dinner given by Dr.
Milbank Johnson in honor of Dr. Rife and Dr. A.I. Kendall.
"Before the gathering of distinguished men, Dr.
Kendall told of his researches in cultivating the typhoid bacillus on
his new 'K Medium.' The typhoid bacillus is nonfilterable and is large
enough to be seen easily with microscopes in general use. Through the
use of 'medium K,' Dr. Kendall said, the organism is so altered that
it cannot be seen with ordinary microscopes and it becomes small
enough to be ultra-microscopic or filterable. It then can be changed
back to the microscopic or non-filterable form.
"Through the use of Dr. Rife's powerful
microscope, said to have a visual power of magnification to 17,000
times, compared with 2000 times of which the ordinary microscope is
capable, Dr. Kendall said he could see the typhoid bacilli in the
filterable or formerly invisible stage. It is probably the first time
the minute filterable (virus) organisms ever have been seen.
"The strongest microscope now in use can magnify
between 2000 and 2500 times. Dr. Rife, by an ingenious arrangement of
lenses applying an entirely new optical principle and by introducing
double quartz prisms and powerful illuminating lights, has devised a
microscope with a lowest magnification of 5,000 times and a maximum
working magnification of 17,000 times.
"The new microscope, scientists predict, also will
prove a development of the first magnitude. Frankly dubious about the
perfection of a microscope which appears to transcend the limits set
by optic science, Dr. Johnson's guests expressed themselves as
delighted with the visual demonstration and heartily accorded both Dr.
Rife and Dr. Kendall a foremost place in the world's rank of
scientists."
The prestigious Science magazine
then carried an article which alerted the scientific community of the
entire nation. The December 11, 1931 Science News supplement
included a section titled, "Filtrable Bodies Seen With The Rife
Microscope." The article described Kendall's filtrable medium
culture, the turquoise blue bodies which were the filtered form of the
typhoid bacillus, and Rife's microscope. It included the following
description:
"The light used with Dr. Rife's microscope is
polarized, that is, it is passing through crystals that stop all rays
except those vibrating in one particular plane. By means of a double
reflecting prism built into the instrument, it is possible to turn
this plane of vibration in any desired direction, controlling the
illumination of the minute objects in the field very exactly."
Kendall's other supporter was Dr. Edward C. Rosenow of the Mayo
Clinic's Division of Experimental Bacteriology. (The Mayo Clinic was
then and is today one of the outstanding research and treatment clinics
in the world. The Washington Post of January 6, 1987 wrote, "To
many in the medical community, the Mayo Clinic is 'the standard' against
which other medical centers are judged.") On July 5-7, 1932, just
two months after Kendall's public humiliation, the Mayo Clinic's Rosenow
met with Kendall and Rife at Kendall's Laboratory at Northwestern
University Medical School in Chicago. "The oval, motile,
turquoise-blue virus were demonstrated and shown unmistakably,"
Rosenow declared in the "Proceedings of the Staff Meetings of the
Mayo Clinic, July 13, 1932, Rochester, Minnesota." The virus for
herpes was also seen. On August 26, 1932, Science
magazine published Rosenow's report, "Observations with the
Rife Microscope of Filter Passing Forms of Micro-organisms." In the
article, Rosenow stated:
"There can be no question of the filtrable
turquoise blue bodies described by Kendall. They are not visible by
the ordinary methods of illumination and magnification.... Examination
under the Rife microscope of specimens, containing objects visible
with the ordinary microscope, leaves no doubt of the accurate
visualization of objects or particulate matter by direct observation
at the extremely high magnification (calculated to be 8,000 diameters)
obtained with this instrument."
Three days after departing from Rife in Chicago, Rosenow wrote to
Rife from the Mayo Clinic:
"After seeing what your wonderful microscope will
do, and after pondering over the significance of what you revealed
with its use during those three strenuous and memorable days spent in
Dr. Kendall's laboratory, I hope you will take the necessary time to
describe how you obtain what physicists consider the impossible.... As
I visualize the matter, your ingenious method of illumination with the
intense monochromatic beam of light is of even greater importance than
the enormously high magnification. . . ."
Rosenow was right. The unique "color frequency" staining
method was the great breakthrough. Years later, after the arrival of
television, an associate of the then deceased Rife would explain,
"The viruses were stained with the frequency of light just like
colors are tuned in on television sets." It was the best
non-technical description ever conceived.
Rife began using Kendall's "K Medium" in 1931 in his
search for the cancer virus. In 1932, he obtained an unulcerated breast
mass that was checked for malignancy from the Paradise Valley Sanitarium
of National City, California. But the initial cancer cultures failed to
produce the virus he was seeking.
Then a fortuitous accident occurred. The May 11, 1938 Evening
Tribune of San Diego later described what happened:
"But neither the medium nor the microscope were
sufficient alone to reveal the filter-passing organism Rife found in
cancers, he recounted. It was an added treatment which he found
virtually by chance that finally made this possible, he related. He
happened to test a tube of cancer culture within the circle of a
tubular ring filled with argon gas activated by an electrical current,
which he had been using in experimenting with electronic bombardment
of organisms of disease. His cancer culture happened to rest there
about 24 hours (with the current on the argon gas filled tube), and
then he noticed (under the microscope) that its appearance seemed to
have changed. He studied and tested this phenomenon repeatedly, and
thus discovered (cancer virus) filter-passing, red-purple granules in
the cultures."
Later he perfected this procedure??cancer culture in "K
Medium" followed by the argon treatment with the gas-filled tube
lighted for 24 hours by a 5000 volt electric current. Then it was placed
in a water bath with 2 inches of vacuum and incubated for 24 hours at
37.5 degrees Centigrade. Rife believed the gas-filled tube ionized the
cancer culture and this was counteracted by the oxidation in the water
vacuum. Some chemical constituents of the organism were so changed that
it was brought within the visible
spectrum, as seen through Rife's microscope.
The BX cancer virus was a distinct purplish red color. Rife had
succeeded in isolating the filtrable virus of carcinoma. The size of the
cancer virus was indeed small. The length was 1/15 of a micron. The
breadth was 1/20 of a micron. No ordinary light microscope, even in the
1980s, would be able to make the cancer virus visible.
In time, Rife was able to prove that the cancer microorganism had 4
forms:
1) BX (carcinoma)
2) BY (sarcoma??larger than BX)
3) Monococcoid form in the monocytes of the blood of over 90% of
cancer patients. When properly stained, this form can be readily seen
with a standard research microscope
4) Crytomyces pleomorphia fungi??identical morphologically to
that of the orchid and of the mushroom
Rife wrote in his 1953 book: "Any of these forms can be
changed back to 'BX' within a period of 36 hours and will produce in the
experimental animal a typical tumor with all the pathology of true
neoplastic tissue, from which we can again recover the 'BX'
micro-organism. This complete process has been duplicated over 300 times
with identical and positive results."
Rife continued: "After one year, we take this same stock
culture of dormant crytomyces pleomorphis fungi and plant it back on its
own asparagus base media; there is no longer a crytomyces pleomorphia,
no longer a monococcoid organism such as is found in the monocytes of
blood, there is no longer a 'BX' or 'BY' form, but there is, from the
initial virus isolated directly from an unulcerated human breast mass, a
bacillus coli,
that will pass any known laboratory methods of analysis."
Rife had proved pleomorphism.
He had shown how the cancer virus changes form, depending on its
environment. He had confirmed the work of Bechamp, of Kendall, of
Rosenow, of Welch and an army of pleomorphist bacteriologists who would
come after him and have to battle the erroneous orthodox laws of Rivers
and his legions of followers. Rife said, "In reality, it is not the
bacteria themselves that produce the disease, but the chemical
constituents of these micro-organisms enacting upon the unbalanced cell
metabolism of the human body that in actuality produce the disease. We
also believe if the metabolism of the human body is perfectly balanced
or poised, it is susceptible to no disease." But Rife did not have
time to argue theory. He would leave that for others. After isolating
the cancer virus, his next step was to destroy it. He did this with his
frequency instrumentsover and over again. And then he did it with
experimental animals, inoculating them, watching the tumors grow, and
then killing the virus in their bodies with the same frequency
instruments tuned to the same "BX" frequency.
Rife declared in 1953:
"These successful tests were conducted over 400
times with experimental animals before any attempt was made to use
this frequency on human cases of carcinoma and sarcoma."
By 1934, Rife was ready to use his frequency instrument on humans.
He was ready to cure cancer.
Note: Kendall's "K Medium" was used to grow
cancer virus by scientists after the discovery that the virus would
grow on it and that ionizing radiation would make the virus more
virulent, growing the tumors in weeks instead of months in a spirally
wound "argon gas loop" in which the test tubes of the
culture would fit for 24 hours at a time. It was made from pig
intestine finely desiccated to which a little salt (tyrode solution)
was added. Rife discovered that pig meat and mushrooms were a natural
cause of cancer in which the cancer virus liked to grow. Rife also
discovered the cancer virus in orchids.
The microscope he built in 1933 was the largest and most powerful
of the five he built. One was built in 1920, another in 1929, the
"Universal" officially completed in 1933 although it may have
been used in an uncompleted form in 1932 as the above report suggests,
another microscope in 1934, and one in 1937 which was finally finished
in 1952. Some parts from pre-existing ones were used for later ones.
While the 1929 microscope was a "super" microscope compared to
all other commercial microscopes, with a working magnification between
5,000 and 17,000 times, the "Universal" Microscope of 1933
possessed a resolution of 31,000 times and a magnification of 60,000
times (as described in the terms of the time).
But while Johnson was willing to serve as a frontline soldier in
the filtration war, his true role was as a general in the cancer war. In
the Spring of 1934, he rented the "ranch" of a member of the
famous Scripps family of the Scripps Oceanographic Institute. The ranch
in La Jolla outside San Diego was to be used as a clinic for the first
treatment of cancer victims using the Rife Frequency Instrument.
But all that lay ahead. In the summer of 1934, 16 terminally ill
people with cancer and other diseases were brought to the Scripps
"ranch." There, as Rife and the doctors worked on human beings
for the first time, they learned much. The early patients were exposed
to the frequency for only 3 minutes, but Rife soon learned that if a
treatment was given every day, the toxins from the dead micro-organisms
accumulated faster than the body could dispose of them. When he switched
to a treatment of 3 minutes every 3rd day, the patients began healing
swiftly.
"With the frequency instrument treatment, no
tissue is destroyed, no pain is felt, no noise is audible, and no
sensation is noticed. A tube lights up and 3 minutes later the
treatment
is completed. The virus or bacteria is destroyed and the body then
recovers itself naturally from the toxic effect of the virus or
bacteria. Several diseases may be treated simultaneously. "The
first clinical work on cancer was completed under the supervision of
Milbank Johnson, M.D. which was set up under a Special Medical
Research Committee of the University of Southern California. 16 cases
were treated at the clinic for many types of malignancy. After 3
months, 14 of these socalled hopeless cases were signed off as
clinically cured by the staff of five medical doctors and Dr. Alvin G.
Foord, M.D. Pathologist for the group. The treatments consisted of 3
minutes duration using the frequency instrument which was set on the
mortal oscillatory rate for 'BX' or cancer (at 3 day intervals). It
was found that the elapsed time between treatments attains better
results than the cases treated daily. This gives the lymphatic system
an opportunity to absorb and cast off the toxic condition which is
produced by the devitalized dead particles of the 'BX' virus. No rise
of body temperature was perceptible in any of these cases above normal
during or after the frequency instrument treatment. No special diets
were used in any of this clinical work, but we sincerely believe that
a proper diet compiled for the individual would be of benefit."
Date: December 1, 1953 Written by R. R. Rife
"In that period of time I saw many things and the
one that impressed me the most was a man who staggered onto a table,
just on the last end of cancer; he was a bag of bones. As he lay on
the table, Dr. Rife and Dr. Johnson said, 'Just feel that man's
stomach.' So I put my hand on the cavity where his stomach was
underneath and it was just a cavity almost, because he was so thin;
his backbone and his belly were just about touching each other.
"I put my hand on his stomach which was just one
solid mass, just about what I could cover with my hand, somewhat like
the shape of a heart. It was absolutely solid! And I thought to
myself, well, nothing can be done for that. However, they gave him a
treatment with the Rife frequencies and in the course of time over a
period of six weeks to two months, to my astonishment, he completely
recovered. He got so well that he asked permission to go to El Centro
as he had a farm there and he wanted to see about his stock. Dr. Rife
said, 'Now you haven't the strength to drive to El Centro.' "'Oh,
yes' said he. 'I have, but I'll have a man to drive me there.' As a
matter of fact, the patient drove his own car there and when he got
down to El Centro he had a sick cow and he stayed up all night with
it. The next day he drove back without any rest whatsoever??so you
can imagine how he had recovered.
In early March 1935, Johnson received a letter from the
International Cancer Research Foundation in Philadelphia. There were
many questions they wanted answered, plus photographs of the laboratory,
and photographs of the microscope. From this communication began a
series of exchanges, proposals and visits which ultimately produced
nothing. In retrospect, part of the failure can be seen as simple human
misunderstanding, but the time wasted over the next year and a half can
also be judged as the fault of pettiness, arrogance and narrow-minded
obstinacy on the part of the International Cancer Research Foundation,
particularly its rigid Secretary, Dr. Mildred Schram.
The Foundation was in a position to fund Rife in such a way that
major advances could have quickly resulted. Instead, they argued for
tests which were not relevant. They wasted Rife's time by having him
make a demonstration in Philadelphia the next year, and then they failed
to keep their agreement on the techniques he showed them, instead
insisting on their own??which ruined the procedure. In their example
also lies one of the dilemmas of modern research. The experts have their
own way of doing things. The great scientist who is an outsider is
looked down upon by the "authorities"??those with the
"credentials." The goal of curing cancer becomes secondary.
The existing procedures take precedence.
The interaction with the International Cancer Research Institute
was only one element of Johnson's and Rife's "mountain climb"
in 1935. Far more important was the visit from O. Cameron Gruner, a
well-known cancer researcher from Montreal. Gruner would bring his own
discovery just as Kendall had done in 1931, and Rife would take Gruner's
discovery and join it with Kendall's and his own. The result would be
another breakthrough.
Gruner had taken blood from his cancer patients and from it, on an
Asparagus Medium, had grown a fungus. Rife put Dr. Gruner's fungus in
the "K Medium" and then filtered from it Rife's own
"BX" virus. He then put some of his earlier BX on Gruner's
Asparagus Medium and brought forth Gruner's fungus. Another form of the
cancer micro-organism had been isolated??a fungus!
Rife now had a solid base for pleomorphism.
Not only could the BX virus live on an artificial medium, but the BX
could change into another form in the blood (the monococcoid form in the
monocytes of the blood of over 90% of cancer patients) and then into
still another form??a crytomyces pleomorphia fungus.
The new Frequency Instrument was finished in September 1935. Rife,
his new assistant Philip Hoyland, his earlier assistant Jack Free, and
Milbank Johnson then put the new machine into operation.
Later that year, Rife provided a brief description of the Frequency
Instrument, presumably because of the Foundation's request:
"The basic principle of this device is the control
of a desired frequency. These frequencies varying upon the organism
being treated. "The frequency is set which controls the initial
oscillator, which in turn is run through six stages of amplification,
the last stage driving a 50 watt output tube. "The frequency with
its carrier wave is transmitted into an output tube similar to the
standard X ray tube, but filled with a different inert gas. This tube
acts as a directional antenna. "The importance in the variable
control of these frequencies is that each pathogenic organism being
treated is of a different chemical constituency, the consequence being
they carry a different molecular vibratory rate. Each one in turn
under these conditions requires a different frequency or vibratory
rate to destroy."
The new instrument was light-socket powered and had an output of
500 watts. Furthermore, it was equipped to deliver two distinct
frequencies simultaneously and both variable. This apparatus proved to
be more efficient with decidedly fewer factors of error.
Rife also??amazing as it seems given everything else occurring
in his life??built a new, smaller microscope. While the
"Universal" microscope of 1933 cost between $30,000- $35,000
to construct, according to Johnson, the 1935 microscope was
theoretically priced to be sold at $1,000 or less. The purpose was to
make many of the smaller microscopes available to research laboratories.
The new microscope still had a magnification range of 10,000 times to
15,000 times?? far beyond what the "best" light
microscopes available could do.
Rife and Philip Hoyland began revising the Frequency Instrument in
the early months of 1936, eliminating parts which had been made obsolete
by recent advances in electronics. During that summer they produced an
entirely new method of generating the desired frequencies. Among the new
test appliances they created was a nine inch Cathode-Ray oscillograph of
high sensitivity, built for the purpose of photographing the different
frequencies on motion picture film. This enabled them to study and
classify the numerous waves in an entirely new way.
It is important to recognize that many of the men involved in the
Rife work were doctors and researchers. They were not men who fought
political battles and in many ways they crumbled when they were
challenged by determined political power. They believed in scientific
procedures. Even today in the mid-1980s, men and women of similar good
will and na?vet? conduct the research procedures. In discussing the
Rife cancer cure with such people, it is common to hear top men in
physics, microscopy and cancer research state, "Suppression of a
cancer cure in the 1930s is impossible. Scientists would have known
about it. It couldn't be covered up." The truth is that the cure
for cancer was covered up. And the na?vet? of
cancer researchers as well as scientists in related fields persists to
modem times.
The question now is, what will they do when they learn the facts in
this report? A related question is, how courageous will the American
free press be? Only time will tell.
Funny, how men often think they have forever. It is a fault which
is passed down from generation to generation. Even today there are those
making the same mistake. They want to test the Rife treatment again and
again, and they say that after a year or so of careful scientific work
which will be "incontestable," an announcement will be made.
Shakespeare could write a modern tragedy about such men's folly.
In the fall of 1937, Phil Hoyland, the engineer whom Johnson had
introduced to Rife, moved to San Diego to begin with three others the
commercial manufacturing of the Frequency Instrument. The company was
named "Beam Ray." It would play a crucial part in the AMA's
destruction of Rife's cancer cure. Hoyland would become the agent of the
AMA and would sue Beam Ray with an expensive Los Angeles attorney
representing him while the AMA pressured the doctors behind-the-scenes
to stop using the Frequency Instruments or lose their license to
practice medicine.
The trial would start Rife on a long road of deterioration,
alcoholism and depression . . . as the deaths from cancer mounted year
after year.
Johnson's introduction of Philip Hoyland into the Rife research and
treatment program was undoubtedly one of his most serious
miscalculations. Hoyland was a capable electrical engineer and Johnson
saw the talent . . . but not the man's character. This error of
Johnson's may have contributed to his own suspicious death in 1944 and
the end of the Special Research Committee which came so close to telling
the world that a cure for cancer and other infectious diseases had been
found.
Rosenow's son told this writer that his father eventually became
philosophical about such inferior scientists as Rivers and Zinsser.
Rosenow Sr. said to his son, "Edward, no matter how hard I try to
convince others, nothing happens unless an occasional person opens his
mind and is willing to listen" (or in the case of Rife, opens his
eyes in order to see). This little preamble prepares the stage for the
trial of 1939. It was really two men facing off??one was a scientist
who could see (Rife), the other was a political power addict whose
scientific credentials were mediocre at best and whose commercial ethics
were, to say the least, suspect (Fishbein).
Morris Fishbein graduated from Rush Medical School. He interned for
only six months and never practiced medicine a day in his life. His
mentor, a man named Simpson, also was a product of Rush Medical School.
Simpson, as head of the AMA Journal, had developed the lucrative
structure which enabled the AMA to be dominated by dictatorial whims. In
1922, Simpson was forced to resign after a court case in which it was shown he had
falsely tried to have his wife committed to an insane asylum. She showed
in court that Simpson had made her a drug addict. Such was the
background of the early AMA founders??essentially second-rate
doctors in their own time who used the organization to gain power and
make money. The public welfare was a secondary consideration.
The New York Times obituary for Fishbein in the 1970s reported that
he had entered medicine because as a young man he had perceived the
"power" which a doctor had. Power was his driving personal
motive, not healing. His autobiography is little more than an egotistic
memoir of all the famous people he met in his life.
Yet Fishbein controlled the AMA and also intimidated the press and
other institutions to such an extent that his actions, no matter how
heinous, could go virtually unchallenged. Unfortunately, the situation
has not changed very much today. When a group of cancer patients from
around the country protested the inaccuracies in a Journal of the AMA article
about a cancer clinic in the Bahamas, a number of media people
apologized to the patient's group because the media could not print the
true facts. (This is 1985!) The reason? "The rebuttal would cut
them off from their primary source and render them impotent
journalists." The head of the patient's group, Jack Link of
Kalamazoo, Michigan concluded that the journalists "are already
impotent."
Such was the organization Rife faced during the 1939 trial?? a
powerful medical union which played by its own rules, ignored the law,
promoted products which were unhealthy, intimidated the press,
politicians and medical researchers, and unfortunately perverted basic
principles of the American nation.
Mystery shrouds Johnson's death. One rumor is that he was preparing
to announce the cure for cancer just before he was hospitalized. The
suspicion exists that he was silenced, but the evidence is
circumstantial. However, two federal inspectors did examine his hospital
record in the late 1950s-early 1960s. They concluded it was likely that
he was poisoned.
Sometime in the 1944-46 period, a new technician in Rife's
laboratory stole one of the valuable quartz prisms from the Universal
Microscope, rendering it inoperable. Just prior to the theft, Dr.
Raymond Seidel had published a description of the microscope in the
Smithsonian annual report. The report described how the cancer virus
"may be observed to succumb when exposed to certain lethal
frequencies." This was the news which the opponents of Rife were
determined to have suppressed. Publication in the Smithsonian report was
a dangerous breach of their wall of censorship. Following the
publication, Seidel soon became aware that he was being followed. Then a
bullet crashed through his car windshield while he was driving.
Dr. Royal Lee of the Lee Foundation for Nutritional Research in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin spent many weekends with Royal Rife. He later
published a small report on the Fishbein- Rife tragedy. It includes the
following:
"No medical journal was ever permitted to report
on Rife's work. This one by the Franklin Institute slipped by the
censors, since this organization is not medical but supports general
scientific activities. But that mistake was soon rectified, it
appears, as there is still no general knowledge of Rife's epochmaking
discoveries. Again, the iron curtain of Fishbein is effective.... We
can give a list of various subjects on which this censorship is
rigorously applied. Only the treatment of disease with synthetic drugs
is carefully reported. Botanicals are played down, foods as remedies
are almost as taboo as Rife's work ... the official definition of a
medical remedy for disease ... excludes automatically any vitamin,
nutritional mineral or enzyme . . ."
While the AMA's role behind-the-scene did not come up in court,
Judge Kelly must have learned about it. When the trial was over, Kelly
offered to represent Beam Ray in a new suit against the AMA. But Ben
Cullen was broke. He had even lost his house. He got a job and left the
cure for cancer to others. Rife kept his laboratory intact until 1946,
but his drinking eventually forced him to sell it piece by piece. Note:
Just prior to the attack on Rife in the spring of 1939, the only other
quality "electronic medicine research lab" in America was
mysteriously destroyed by fire. For 15 years, J.C. Burnett's lab in New
Jersey had conducted research and kept records on "electronic
energy in its relationship to the human body." The $250,000 lab
(1924 dollars) on a 400 acre estate, and more than $500,000 invested in
research, were financed by Burnett's wife, the former Cora B. Timken of
the Timken Roller Bearing family. It was her relative on the west coast
who had first financed Rife. The lab was burned to the ground while
Burnett and his wife were visiting Rife in California??a strange
coincidence in that dark, pivotal year of 1939!
"Between the source of light and the specimen are
subtended two circular, wedge-shaped, block crystal quartz prisms for
the purpose of polarizing the light passing through the specimen,
polarization being the practical application of the theory that light
waves vibrate in all planes perpendicular to the direction in which
they are propagated. Therefore, when light comes into contact with a
polarizing prism, it is divided or split into two beams, one of which
is refracted to such an extent that it is reflected to the side of the
prism without, of course, passing through the prism while the second
ray, bent considerably less, is thus enabled to pass through the prism
to illuminate the specimen.... Now, when the portion of the spectrum
is reached in which both the organism and the color band vibrate in
exact accord, one with the other, a definite characteristic spectrum
is emitted by the organism. "Now, instead of the light rays
starting up the tube in a parallel fashion, tending to converge as
they rise higher and finally crossing each other, arriving at the
ocular separated by considerable distance as would be the case with an
ordinary microscope, in the universal tube the rays also start their
rise parallel to each other but, just as they are about to cross, a
specially designed quartz prism is inserted which serves to pull them
out parallel again, another prism being inserted each time the rays
are about to cross.... Thus, the greatest distance that the image in
the universal is projected through any
one media, either quartz or air, is 30 millimeters instead of the
160, 180, or 190 millimeters as in the empty or air-filled tube of an
ordinary microscope. . . .
"Under the universal microscope disease organisms
such as those of tuberculosis, cancer, sarcoma, streptococcus,
typhoid, staphylococcus, leprosy, hoof and mouth disease, and others
may be observed to succumb when exposed to certain lethal frequencies
peculiar to each individual organism, and directed upon them by rays
covering a wide range of waves. By means of a camera attachment and a
motion-picture camera not built into the instrument, many 'still'
micrographs as well as hundreds of feet of motion-picture film bear
witness to the complete life cycles of numerous organisms. It should
be emphasized, perhaps, that invariably the same organisms refract the
same colors when stained by means of the monochromatic beam of
illumination on the universal microscope, regardless of the media upon
which they are grown. The virus of the Bacillus
typhosus is always a turquoise blue, the Bacillus coli always
mahogany colored, the Mycobacterium leprae
always a ruby shade, the
filter-passing form or virus of tuberculosis is always an emerald
green, the virus of cancer always a purplish red, and so on."
Rife's copyrighted explanation of 1953 describes the Universal
Microscope's unique design as follows:
"The prime reason that viruses have never been
observed in their true form of their association with a disease is
because the best standard research microscopes will not show them;
first, on account of the lack of great enough magnification and
second, owing to the minuteness of these particles, it is impossible
to stain them with any known method or technique using acid or aniline
dye stains hence a substitute stain was found. The viruses were
stained with a frequency of light that coordinates with the chemical
constituents of the particle or microorganism under observation.
"The variation of the light frequency is
accomplished by use of a variable monochromatic beam of light that is
tuned to coordinate with the chemical constituents of particle, virus,
or micro-organism. Visibility of the particle, virus, or microorganism
is observed by use of the core beams from the patented Rife Microscope
Lamps, which provide illumination through a series of rotating quartz
prisms in the universal microscope and thence through the slide
containing the specimens and on to the eyepiece. Rotation of the light
beams in the quartz prisms controls the increase or decrease of the
light frequency. With complete control of the illuminating unit, a
frequency is created that is in coordination with the chemical
constituents of the virus under observation and thus it is possible to
observe the virus in its true chemical refractive index. The control
of the illumination (in the universal microscope) is a most important
factor in visualizing the virus of any pathogenic micro-organism. This
cannot be accomplished by any conventional source of illumination.
This points out why other research groups have failed to find cancer
virus."
The Frequency Instruments were steadily improved from the early
version of 1920 to the clinical versions of 1934-38 and then, in the
1950s, improved again to the point where Rife could assert, "they
are infallible and simple to operate." The May 6, 1928 Evening
Tribune of San Diego described what the Frequency Instrument did:
"Just what this Ray does to the organisms to
devitalize them is not yet known. Because each organism requires a
different wave length, it may be that whatever befalls these tiny
slayers of man is something similar to the phenomenon occurring when
the musical tuning fork is set in vibration by sound waves emanating
from another fork struck nearby. . . . "Rife thinks that the
lethal frequencies for various disease organisms are, as in the sound
waves, coordinates of frequencies existing in the organism themselves.
If this is the explanation, it means that the Rife Ray probably causes
the disease organisms to disintegrate or partially disintegrate, just
as the vase and the glass. Several bits of evidence indicate that this
is exactly what happens. . . .
"When the ray is directed upon them, they are seen
to behave very curiously; some kinds do literally disintegrate, and
others writhe as if in agony and finally gather together in deathly
unmoving clusters.
"Brief exposure to the tuned frequencies, Rife
commented, brings the fatal reactions. In some organisms, it happens
in seconds.
"After the organisms have been bombarded, the
laboratory reports show, they are dead. They have become
devitalized?? no longer exhibit life, do not propagate their kind
and produce no disease when introduced into the bodies of experimental
animals.
"Now, he reported, the mortal oscillatory rates
for many, any organisms have been found and recorded and the ray can
be tuned to a germ's recorded frequency and turned upon that organism
with the assurance that the organism will be killed."
On December 23, 1971, President Richard Nixon signed a $1.6 billion
law to open the "war on cancer." And everyone lined up for the
feast: the greed merchants at the American Cancer Society, the AMA,
research scientists at various favored institutes and universities, the
health bureaucrats at the National Cancer Institute, and the
politicians. By 1985, the National Cancer Institute was spending $1.2
billion yearly . . . and had precious little to show for it.
In 1976, two strange events occurred which seemed to draw together
the closing ends of a great circle. Christopher Bird authored the first
article to appear on Rife since the 1940s. "What Has Become of the
Rife Microscope?" appeared in New Age Journal for
March 1976. And that same year, Dr. Virginia Livingston-Wheeler married
Dr. Owen Wheeler, one of the founders of Doctors Hospital in San Diego.
The Livingston Clinic became the Livingston-Wheeler Clinic. A circle of
42 years was complete because Dr. Wheeler, as a young man, had known
Royal R. Rife and had been at his side in the Rife Laboratory.
In 1980, the two French scientists Sorin Sonea and Maurice Panisset
published A New Bacteriology. Bacterial
pleomorphism was the key to this "new" bacteriology.
In 1984, Dr. Virginia Livingston-Wheeler published The
Conquest of Cancer. She warned her readers not to eat chicken or eggs:
"After years of research, I consider the potential
for cancer in chicken to be almost one hundred percent. Most of the
chickens on the dining tables of America have the pathogenic form of
the microbe, which I contend is transmissable to human beings."
She called for vaccinating cattle and chicken with the anticancer
serum. Rife had long envisioned using the Rife Ray to kill the BX in
chickens and meat. He also had specifically warned that BX (cancer)
virus thrived on pig and mushrooms. The wheel kept turning and turning.
When it is realized that the disease-causing microorganisms in food
can be devitalized, and that the blood in hospital blood banks may need
to be similarly purified, the loss of Rife's discovery can be seen in
its true tragic dimensions. Dr. Livingston-Wheeler also called for
cancer immunization soon after the birth of every child (the serum can
be made from a urine sample). She knew the signs of a cancer epidemic
were everywhere if anyone bothered to look. She also declared that
cancer could be permanently wiped out in a decade. Rife had known how to
do it also . . . but in a country where 60 billion dollars are spent
annually on cancer, where one tiny hospital in the Berkshires of
Massachusetts can spend 2? million dollars for
"state-of-the-art" radiation equipment, it is clear that an
entire economy of satisfied cancer "professionals" exists,
determined to keep their gruesome racket in place.
These deaths did not have to happen. Dorothy and Mark could have
led normal, happy lives. In 1953, a naval officer who had known Roy Rife
when the officer was a young man growing up in San Diego wrote Rife a
letter. He explained how in his military career he commanded a unit of
doctors and bacteriologists. The letter is a fitting epitaph to the Rife
tragedy:
"I have been very privileged in having known you
and having heard from your own lips the story of your work. You gave
me a glimpse of science of the year 2000. But often I'm a little sad
when I realize that men must struggle so hard to get what you tried to
give them, and I am even more sad when I see so many problems for
which you alone have the answers. When I see pictures taken with the
electron microscope, I have to laugh, because I remember better
pictures showing more detail which were hung in the hallway in your
laboratory. When I read 'research' reports on genetics, evolution, or
any of the fields of microbiology I have to laugh, because years ago
the 'scientists' were offered the answers and they refused the gift!
The combination of your mind, your will, and your energy is so rare as
to skip entire generations. The world has great need for your work.
"Perhaps the world will someday rediscover one of
the greatest gifts on which it has ever turned its back. Someday we
may develop equipment similar to the Rife Ray machine. If and when
that happens, our problems will be solved. Man will have more food and
structural materials than he needs. For the first time the economic
reasons for wars will cease to exist. By then, the AMA will be forced
to accept its use for the elimination of disease organisms. Man will
live a healthier, happier and longer life.
"If we reach that millenium in my life, I will
have one unhappy memory??that the man most deserving to have his
name linked for all time with human happiness will have been all but
forgotten because his life's work was lost in a struggle with the AMA
and the 'accepted' scientists of his day rather than made available
through a new approach; and because when it is rediscovered, the Rife
Ray will be given a new name. "
In 1950, John Crane met Roy Rife. After learning how Rife had cured
cancer in the 1930s but had seen his cure suppressed by the AMA, Crane
decided to commit his energy, will and electronic and mechanical
knowledge to bringing the cure for cancer to the public. Dr. Gruner of
Canada, who worked with Rife in the '30s, provided Crane with one of the
original circuit designs for the Rife Ray Tube. Crane also hired Verne
Thomson, an electronics expert with the San Diego police force, to help
construct the new Frequency Instruments.
In April 1953, the first copyrighted material on the cancer virus
was published. In December 1953, Rife's description of the cancer cure
was completed under Crane's urging and insistence. It was copyrighted in
1954.
In 1954, Crane began corresponding with the National Cancer
Institute and other government agencies concerning the Rife diagnostic
and therapeutic instruments. In 1954, the Committee on Cancer Diagnosis
and Therapy of the National Research Council "evaluated" the
Rife discoveries. They concluded it couldn't work. No effort was made to
contact Rife, Gruner, Couche or others who had witnessed actual cures (Couche
was still curing cancer patients at that time). No physical inspection
of the instruments was attempted. Electronic healing was
bureaucratically determined to be impossible. (In 1972, Carl G. Baker,
M.D., Director of the National Cancer Institute, used this superficial
1954 evaluation to dismiss Crane's and Rife's work when asked for
information by Congressman Bob Wilson of San Diego. Millions died and
continue to die because government and medical authorities were opposed
to a fair, objective evaluation of the evidence.)
By 1960, Crane had written and copyrighted a manual which explained
how the Frequency Instrument was to be used in the experimental
treatment of various diseases and on different parts of the body. By
that year, 90 instruments were distributed for research and verification
on notarized contracts. And then the medical authorities struck.
They raided Crane's office, took over $40,000 in machines,
frequency instruments, and one large Rife ray tube instrument,
along
with engineering data, research records and reports, pictures off the
wall, private letters, invoices, tape recordings, and electronic
parts??all without a search warrant. They smashed all the research
which had been put together over 10 laborious years. As in 1939, they
visited the doctors who were experimenting with the machines and forced
them to abandon them. They also pressured ordinary citizens who had
begun experimenting on a personal basis.
The records and materials seized were not allowed to be used by
Crane in his own defense during his trial. Roy Rife, almost 73
and incapable of suffering the abuse of another trial at his age, went
into hiding in Mexico. His deposition was not permitted to be introduced at
the trial. Neither were the medical and scientific reports from
the 1930s and 1940s. Nor were medical reports from Dr. Stafford in Ohio.
Dr. Couche's letters were also declared inadmissable. No medical or
scientific report which indicated the Frequency Instrument worked as
represented was permitted to be introduced at the trial. Crane was left
naked with only the patients who had been cured or helped.
The trial was held in early 1961. After 24 days, and despite the
testimony of 14 patients who told how the Frequency Instrument cured
ailments and diseases which orthodox medicine could not alleviate, Crane
was found guilty. The only medical opinion offered by the State of
California came from Dr. Paul Shea who had been given a Frequency
Instrument by the Public Health Department for 2 months before the
trial. Shea admitted he never tried the Frequency Instrument on anything
or made any tests to evaluate it. He simply examined it and decided that
it had no curative powers and didn't lend itself to investigative use.
