Updated May 7, 2023Maybe the worst case of medical suppression was the case of what I like to call broad specter resonance radiation technology (BSRR) first invented by Dr. Royal Raymond Rife. He did not name his invention this way. There was no name at the time except “The Rife machine.” I think that this name is an appropriate description of the technology.
The Rife machine was so dangerous for the establishment that they actually killed people, burned down laboratories, and used police, legal and monetary means, to bribe, arrest, bully, threaten, and all at their disposal. All form the highest levels of government. They did it all to suppress the Rife machine. The suppression of this technology is the worst case of genocide in human history at the level of concentration camps and I am not saying this lightly (Cancer, The Forbidden Cures-Rife machine, Historical review).
To understand how the Rife machine works we have to go into physics and especially quantum mechanics. Most scientists to this day don’t understand the scientific background behind the Rife machine. They think that the Rife machine is some alternative quasi-scientific, unproven scam that is debunked easily. Because they do not understand the actual science behind it they label the Rife machine and even Rife himself as a quack that wanted to make a quick buck. All the usual slander that comes along in this kind of situation. In most cases even if they do understand the science behind the Rife machine it is so in the realm of scient fiction for most people that it is just rejected. In this article, I will review all of the science behind the Rife machine, and why the Rife machine was so dangerous that needed to disappear forever. Science itself is problematic to some because it goes against the perception of reality that some people might hold.
There is a big overlap in the meanings of “waves” and “radiation,” so this can also be a bit confusing. For a normal average individual to understand the technology, we will have to have a quick look into the basics of quantum mechanics and the nature of the universe or nature of the matter. Quantum mechanics is fundamental to explaining the functioning of systems at atomic length scales and smaller and is at the base of physics and defines the way that we comprehend the world scientifically.
One of the most important experiments in Quantum mechanics and in science that defined the way we perceive the world is the experiment known as the double slit experiment. It is also the experiment that did not just define our world but also created the biggest problem in science so far that is still ”in the air” and nobody especially scientists do not like to talk about it and avoid the subject.
If we have a barrier like a wall with two splits in it. Imagine throwing balls at the wall. Some will bounce off, but some will hit the slits. If there’s another wall behind the first, the balls that have gone through the slits will hit it. If you identify all the points where a ball has hit the other wall, what do you expect to see? Two strips of marks are approximately identical in appearance to the slits. So any time when you throw something that was made of atoms through the slits you will get two strips of marks roughly the same shape as the slits. So far so good.
But what if we shine a light (of a single color, that is, of a single wavelength) at a wall with two slits, or not just the light but any other form of a wave into it and not solid matter like electrons or atoms? What would we expect to see on the wall? As the wave passes through both slits.
It basically divides into two new waves, each expanding out from one of the slits. The waves will interfere with each other. At some points, they will cancel each other out, and at others, where peak meets peak, they will reinforce each other and produce the strongest light. When the light goes through the slits you will see a stripe pattern on the second wall, many of the bright stripes are called an interference pattern. So when we shot solid matter, we get two stripes when we shot wave we get the interference pattern. So far so good.
So now what will happen if we instead of tennis balls shot solid matter from the quantum realm like electrons through?
They are matter like any other so we should expect just two strips. Actually, that is what is going to happen if we have just one slit. We will see that some of the particles will move through the open slit and hit the second wall. It was the same as the tennis balls would. The spots they arrive at form a strip roughly the same shape as the slit. But when we open the second slit, something unnatural happens. We would assume two rectangular strips on the second wall, as with the tennis balls, but what you see is very different. The spots where electrons hit build up to replicate the interference pattern from a wave. So again when we open the second slit we have an unnatural interference pattern from a wave. How can this be?

Because scientists could not explain this they theorized that somehow the electrons interfere with each other, so they do not arrive in the same places they would if they were alone. To counter that they did the experiment by shooting individual electrons one at a time. However, the interference pattern continues still if you shoot the electrons one by one.
There is something seriously wrong here.
Electrons had no interference. Strangely, each individual electron contributes one dot to an overall pattern that looks like the interference pattern of a wave. So again how could that be?
We perceive the world in solid form. We think that matter exists and that the universe is solid. We define our reality by the solidity of the matter. How could we live in a reality that is not solid but just made out of the waves? It is not possible.
It would mean everything we perceive is just an illusion and that in reality matter is just a wave that we perceive as a solid matter. It is not possible and we need an explanation or we need to redefine religion. Could it be that each electron somehow splits, passes through both slits at once, interferes with itself, and then recombines to meet the second screen as a single, localized particle?
To figure this out, we can install a detector by the splits, to detect which slit an electron moves through.
And that is when the seriousness comes in. Like it is already not enough that matter equally doesn’t exist and that everything is just the wave but wait there is more.
The nightmare of the scientific community.
If you do that, place a detector by the slits, then the pattern on the detector screen turns into the particle pattern of two strips! The interference pattern vanishes. Somehow, the act of watching makes sure that the electrons travel like well-behaved little tennis balls. They knew they were being observed and then form the pattern of the regular solid matter.
The act of observing by some form of intelligence forces the electrons (or any other form of matter) into their solid form.
So all the matter is actually the wave and let’s say “download” itself into the matter when observed by inelegance. So any matter has duality in itself. The famous wave-particle duality of quantum mechanics defines our way of scientifically looking at the universe. However, scientists do not tell it all. They do not like this experiment too much because even today it is a big “mystery” of quantum mechanics. A scientist will say when asked that it is just a measurement problem of quantum mechanics. However, it is not. They are scared of it; they do not have an explanation that can go along with an acceptable way of looking at things, so they ignore the experiment.
For example, a scientist at Washington University found that quasi-measurements cause the Zeno effect possibly explaining why the particles do not form an interference pattern if one detects which slit they pass through, but somehow they seem to be leaving out the fact that the difference occurs only when being actively observed. Scientists may ignore the findings, but they still accept the results of what they call the dualistic nature of matter. What we accept as “particles,” such as electrons, somehow combine the characteristics of particles and the characteristics of waves.
That is the famous wave-particle duality of quantum mechanics.
So if the matter is just a wave, then it would have all the characteristics of the wave. The height of a wave, is called its amplitude, the distance from a particular point on one wave, to the same point on the next is called the wavelength and most importantly the number of waves passing every second is called frequency, f. Frequency is ranked in units called hertz (Hz). The faster a wave is traveling, the higher its frequency but, the shorter its wavelength. When waves of the same frequency come into contact, they are going to combine into one wave with larger amplitude, or greater energy if you like.
It is called resonance. This is important for understanding how the “Rife Machine” works.
A well-known model is a playground swing, which works like a pendulum. Pushing a child in a swing in time with the natural interval of the swing (its resonant frequency) produces the swing going higher and higher (maximum amplitude). This is because the energy the swing absorbs is maximized when the pushes match the swing’s natural oscillations. So if the matter is just the wave then what defines different matter? Well as it turns out the lower the frequency the density of the matter is stronger. And every molecule has its own frequency in which it can resonate.
Different atoms have different frequencies for all of the matter in the universe.
There is a good quote from Nikola Tesla who said:
“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.”
If the frequency of one wave is extremely different than the frequency of another wave they will not just resonate, but they will not ever interact with each other at all. The two can occupy the same time and space. A good example is the waves that go into your cell phone. You can go inside the solid building but you will still have the signal on your phone, and the waves will go through the walls literally. However, if you have resonance, you can combine the energies to make some “destruction.” Balanced twisting that was produced in the 1940 failure of “Galloping Gertie,” the original Tacoma Narrows Bridge, is characterized as an example of a resonance phenomenon. Armies have to break the step when crossing over the bridges. Alternatively, you can yell at the wine glass to shatter it. Voice can hit the resonance of glass at 550 Hz. It is in the human voice range. Such a strong, solid form like glass can shatter just from the sound.
Everything has a frequency, even planet Earth itself. It is known as the Schumann resonance. What do you believe will occur if someone decided to bombard the Earth with waves at a frequency of Schumann resonance? There will be resonance with earth and if enough energy is sent that energy will not be able to dissipate naturally but will start to accumulate and in the end release itself in the form of an artificially created earthquake.
First, artificially created earthquake was created back in 1898 by Nicola Tesla. Besides all of the credited work and all of the work that other “great scientists” stole from him he was also credited to have worked on unknown energy sources, being contacted by UFOs, caused the Tunguska explosion by a death ray, and even worked on an earthquake-generator. Tesla said the oscillator was around 7 inches (18 cm) long and weighed one or two pounds; something “you could put in your overcoat pocket.” At one point while experimenting with the oscillator, he alleged it generated a resonance in several buildings causing complaints to the police. What happened was that he placed his tiny vibrator in his coat pocket and went out to seek a half-erected steel building. He found one in the Wall Street district. It was just steel and didn’t have a brick. He assembled the device to one of the beams. Tesla said that eventually the structure began to creak and weave and the steel workers came to the ground panic-stricken, believing that there had been an earthquake. Police and an ambulance were called. Ten minutes more and he would have laid the building to the street with something that you can put in your pocket. That is the power of resonance. However, his “telegeodynamics” system never managed to get beyond the prototype, but he also imagined using the oscillations generated by his device to prospect the underground. It is just this basic idea that modern seismologists use.
Today we use resonance in medicine too. For example, the hydrogen atoms in water are just protons. The protons have a resonant frequency that they vibrate (inside the huge magnetic field of an MRI machine). And that resonant frequency is in the radio range. So when you are in the MRI machine, radio waves are hitting the water in your body, making the protons (hydrogen atoms) vibrate (resonate) at that same frequency. Vibrating protons give off their own radio signal, and that signal is used to build a picture of your watery leg/brain/belly. It is magnetic. It is resonance. It is imaging. MRI.
Alternatively, you can bombard the water with its own water molecule frequency instead of the frequency of the protons. That will destroy the bond and force hydrogen and oxygen to split out of H2O. It is electrolysis just hundreds of times more efficient than the regular one. It is supposable so efficient that there are some patents and claims that you can run your car on that alone. Have you ever heard of a water power car? Probably not but it was called Dune Buggy by its inventor Stan Meyers. He experimented with resonance in his garage and used BSRR instead of regular electrolysis to break the water molecules. Pentagon showed lots of interest in that project. They even sent some of their men to look into it.
He drove his Dune Buggy for a news report on an Ohio TV station and also calculated that from Los Angeles to New York it will use 22 gallons of water. Supposedly. There is no documented evidence that the system provides sufficient hydrogen to run an engine. Philip Ball, writing in the academic journal Nature, characterized Meyer’s claims as pseudoscience, noting that:
“It’s not easy to establish how Meyer’s car was meant to work, except that it involved a fuel cell that was able to split water using less energy than was released by recombination of the elements …”.
He probably didn’t understand resonance. Pentagon does.
What was not the pseudoscience was the money. He was offered a bribe for a patent and for him to go away from rich investors in the amount of no less than 1 billion dollars. Billion with the B. He refused.
He wanted to put his invention into commercial use and was Christian and didn’t like “one world government” and wanted to give people self-sufficiency. Stanley Meyer departed suddenly on March 21, 1998, after eating at a restaurant. Conspiracy theorists insist that he was killed to suppress the technology and that the United States government were involved in his death. His brother claimed that during a meeting with two Belgian investors in a restaurant: “Stanley took a sip of cranberry juice. Then he grabbed his neck, bolted out the door, dropped to his knees and vomited violently. I ran outside and asked him, ‘What’s wrong?’ “. He said: “They poisoned me” and died.
Mayer’s water fuel cell was later examined by three expert witnesses in court who found there was nothing revolutionary about the cell at all and it was simply using conventional electrolysis, but it is possible that they did not understand the technology behind the double slit experiment. To date, no one reproduced his technology commercially, or at least that I know of.
There are just a couple more cases of individual inventors who made water cars with a similar approach like Herman P. Anderson who actually used a little bit different approach and deuterium (heavy water) was essential to his fuel cell. Herman was consulted with Nasa and the US Airforce on some of the country’s most important Top Secret Projects including the first US satellite in space, the SR-71 Blackbird, the Stealth Fighter/Bomber, and Star Wars. Herman worked closely with Nazi operation paperclip refugee Dr. Wernher von Braun testing hydrogen-powered rocket engines, and he also worked with engineers at the now famous Skunk Works, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, JPL, and Cal Tech. The government of the State of Tennessee allowed him to drive his water-powered car but had forbidden him to try to use his invention commercially. In any normal free country, he would be glorified as the man who freed the world from poverty. And yes most of our modern economy depends on energy consumption. With free energy, there would be no poverty and no environmental destruction, but there would also be an uncontrollable independent, self-sufficient population with no interest in war or obedience to corporate overloads and government. Imagine a world where energy is free and out of governmental control. There is one more individual case in Japan. They produced a water-powered car in 2008 that only runs on air and water. You can see it in the picture.

It is not a salt water battery electric car that is available commercially today, but again one more real water-powered car. Not surprisingly, there has been little to no coverage of this car in America or anywhere else. There was another good quote from Tesla’s life when he was confronted by J.P Morgan for his free wireless electric energy tower experiments. He said to him:
“Ok, where exactly am I going to put my ampere meter? “
However, what about the medicine?
Does cancer have resonance?
Alternatively, how about HIV?
Alternatively, how about any other molecule in our body?
In November 1931, Dr. Milbank Johnson called forty-four Los Angeles area doctors to his home in Pasadena, California to acknowledge Rife for the work he was performing. Dr. Royal Rife was acknowledged as the man who ended all diseases that ever existed. Well, at least the ones that are infectious and can be bombarded with resonance. The banquet was even called “The End of All Disease.”

What happened next, well it will be covered in the next article.
