Subject: electronic healing
Recently a couple of friends have approached me, independently of each
other, and asked my opinion about some alternative healing devices. Both
of these devices utilize "electronic" therapy. One is the Rife device.
Royal Rife was a supposedly renowned scientist who invented a UV microscope
that reportedly magnified 600,00X and worked on living tissue. The UV
illuminator in the microscope is supposed to have made the cells emit
visible light. From this Rife deciphered the unique frequency for each
type of cell including bacteria, and cancer cells, and viruses. By
bombarding cells with their unique frequency he set up a harmonic vibration
which destroyed the cell. This has been more recently revived (Rife did
his work in the 20's) in a book titled "The Cancer Cure That Worked". There
are numerous web sites discussing Rife's work and device.
The science explaining Rife's device and how it can cure everything appears
absurd. The explanation about why all hospitals don't use this amazing
cure-all depends on a vast conspiracy.
The other device, touted in Hulga Regehr Clark's book "The Cure for All
Diseases" utilizes radio frequency radiation to accomplish basically the
same thing Rife's device does. Again the explanation, that ALL disease is
caused by parasites and pollution, appears ridiculous and conspiracy is the
reason we don't all know about this.
It struck me that these two approaches to alternative healing, apparently
unrelated to each other and explained by different "scientific" reasoning
might actually do something, though perhaps not what the authors think they
do. After all we don't yet know what acupuncture manipulates to effect its
cures. Perhaps these EM devices affect some bioelectric field?
I'd appreciate any wise thoughts on the matter.
