The Cancer Cure That Worked: 50 Years of Suppression
A detailed account of Rife's inventions and discoveries is the subject of The Cancer Cure That Worked. This startling book documents events from 1913 to the time of Rife's death in 1972. Rife was an optical engineer and technician of great skill. His first success was the building of the Universal Microscope in the late 1920s. With it he was able to view the living cancer virus -- a feat our modern, high-powered electron microscopes still cannot do. His microscope used many quartz prisms and lenses, placed to compensate for losses of refraction due to air. This enabled him to view far tinier particles than had ever been seen before.
Using the Universal Microscope which he invented, he observed cancer viruses as they changed their size and form. He discovered that exposing a virus to certain frequencies of radio waves killed it quickly. Years of experimentation led to Rife's invention of the Frequency Instrument, a device that produced the exact frequencies needed to destroy various viruses.
In 1934 at the clinic in California, diseased people were exposed to the exact same frequencies that had been seen (through the microscope) to destroy the virus causing their illness. Treatments lasted only three minutes. The person would wait three days before another exposure giving the lymph system time to cleanse the dead virus from their bodies. Unlike the chemotherapy treatments currently in use, Rife's therapy was 100 percent effective and engendered no adverse symptoms.
Yet, 53 years after the arrival of Rife's Frequency Instrument, hundreds of thousands of people still die each year of diseases that Royal Raymond Rife cured.
The above is excerpted from a book review written by Deki and Jon C. Fox.

Royal Raymond Rife's purported dual inventions of a powerful optical microscope and synchronized RF (radio frequency) devices that can destroy microorganisms in vivo as well as cure some cancers had a significant cadre of physicians and other healthcare practitioners who were using the equipment in the 30s, 40s, and 50s. Incredible claims of success and support by credible observers and practitioners should not and should never be casually dismissed. But the story told by Barry Lynes in The Cancer Cure That Worked!: Fifty Years of Suppression goes into considerable detail into how the dismissal of powerful medical claims were institutionally avoided, minimized and obstructed so that--if there was indeed evidence to support them--would never see the light of day or any chance of acceptance by mainstream medicine.
The great irony is that if skeptics and debunkers of unconventional medicine and science do not SCIENTIFICALLY test and demonstrate that the inventions that they debunk should be rejected on the basis of scientific experimentation then they are exposing themselves as the very sort of unscientific charlatans that they accuse others of being. Thus, a debunker who will not subject his claims to experimentation when--of course, it is possible to do so, is the very picture of a fraud who possesses not a drop of credibility. I have no idea whether or not Rife's instruments worked or would work because the AMA, government regulators, and university research institutions made very sure that the fomentation of bad reputation, harassment, and fear of job security formed a culture that would belittle, deride and bury him in a narrative that "it cannot work" so that it becomes accepted as deeply rooted dogma. And it is a narrative that seems familiar in the history of scientific or technical suppression
Rife's story is reported in compelling detail by Barry Lynes. To summarize, Rife claimed to have invented a highly complex Universal Microscope that could achieve a resolution of 31,000x and a magnification of 60,000x that, unlike modern electron microscopes, does not destroy viruses or bacteria that are under observation. An equally significant claim was that the microscope had the capacity to dye viruses and bacteria with fine-tuned light frequencies thereby setting them up for eradication. Rife would develop a device that beams radio frequencies (RF) calibrated and coordinated with the "mortal oscillatory rate" (M.O.R.) of the organism set in relation to the color dye refractions. In principle, Rife's RF instruments can be argued to be based on the principle of destructive resonance that was demonstrated by Nikola Tesla in his famous earthquake-like rumblings incident that came from a building in New York City where he was conducting experimentation. In principle, very little energy would be needed to destroy pathogens that cause infection or cause some cancers or (hypothetically) may help to perpetuate them.
Lynes does an excellent job in detailing those who associated themselves with Rife and with his work, and the intimidation of doctors who were threatened with loss of their medical licenses, the confiscation of records and instruments, the forced closure of clinics and more. Perhaps the most notorious of all the debunkers and suppressors was the former American Medical Association (AMA) leader Morris Fishbein, who Rife describes as the force behind a fabricated lawsuit that essentially ruined Rife and the Beam Ray Corporation which was manufacturing the RF devices. The claim is made that Fishbein only conspired to bring about the lawsuit when his attempt to purchase or invest in Beam Ray was rebuffed. Even though the lawsuit failed, physicians using the instruments were threatened with license revocation, and Beam Ray and Rife himself were financially ruined. Rife would try to rebound, and he reemerged in the 1950's with new practitioners who claimed success using his instrumentation but the efforts ended much as before. Equipment and documentation were confiscated. And practitioners were ordered to stop using the RF devices. There was more than enough warrant to seriously study Rife's work, but the hyper-reactivity of the medical establishment strongly suggests that they "doth protest too much, methinks!"
It seems so easy to laugh off the work of Rife and others who claim to have accomplished what modern science has failed at doing or, even, what it claims to be impossible. But history is filled with those who had espoused what was "impossible" only to see (sometimes literally see in their lifetime) that they were wrong. The world is easily hypnotized into believing that the status quo is less alterable than history has quite clearly demonstrated to often be the case. Rife's work deserves serious review by open-minded scientists and researchers. I wish to point out that there are some areas where modern medical science and Rife's work appear to be converging. For further evidence of suppressed inventions I refer the reader to Suppressed Inventions & Other Discoveries by Jonathan Eisen (please see my review).

So far a brilliant book. Everything so clearly explained, so logical!

This book was so disappointing! I'm entirely inclined to believe a story of a brilliant scientist underdog whose work is stifled and suppressed by a mafioso medical establishment. And this is exactly what the author of this book wants me to believe as well. But after reading the book, I am somehow more dubious about the efficacy of the inventions of Royal Rife. The text is filled with apologies, sour grapes, and excuses.
Just one example, from the top of page 129 (emphasis added):
Okay, first of all, why the fuck have these methods never been published? And why isn't there any evidence presented of any person having been cured of cancer, or any other disease, for that matter? Not one scientific paper, whether peer reviewed or not, published in a fancy journal, or anywhere else, showing anything like the results of a scientific study of the purported cure?
Secondly, why the fuck does the author have to say that the patent claims are legitimate? They are essentially telling me that there is some reason for me to consider them illegitimate, without telling me what that reason is. How can I have confidence in the author's story? Even if I already was questioning the legitimacy of the patents before the author brought it up, you can't just tell me that the patent claim is legitimate. You have to show me! Anything! Really, just print a copy of the patent application in the appendix, let me look it over. I'm not asking for much, and I'm willing to chase down a few leads, and dig in to some scientific writing. But the author has given me absolutely nothing!
Anyhoo. I'm so glad to put this book behind me.

Then, in 1958, Crane made his great breakthrough. He made another in 1960, enabling hundreds of times more energy to be concentrated on the deadly virus. These methods have never been published and are the heart of Crane's legitimate patent claims.

Lynes' account of Royal Rife's career has it all: a maverick medical hero who discovered THE cause of cancer and a universal safe cure, the Establishment physicians who suppressed his work, brought him down, and eventually murdered him to conceal the Truth. There are testimonials from those who claim to be cured, endorsements from a variety of (mostly) obscure medical/scientific types and a stern warning to Beware of Imitators.
What the book, and Rife's modern-day supporters lack, is any good evidence that his "cures" work.
Another reviewer declares that skeptics and debunkers are obligated to disprove Rife's claims, but that's not how science works. Those who spin theories, especially sweeping and implausible ones, are the ones obliged to furnish proof. None (including those who make $$$ to this day selling expensive Rife machines to the gullible), have bothered to use their profits to conduct/support research to back up their claims.
As to the idea that the Medical Establishment suppressed Rife's work, this would mean that all the physicians suffering from cancer willingly refused and hid a cure that could have saved their lives and those of their loved ones similarly afflicted. It makes no sense. And the murder conspiracy angle is similarly ridiculous. Rife lived to be 83. The A.M.A. sure took its time. ;)
The One Cure For All Diseases/Cancers is an appealing idea, but life (and medicine) just isn't that simple, no matter what the hucksters and frauds tell you.

I am not a conspiracy theory advocate, however when reading this book as with anything that is important and relevant one just has to follow the money trail and you will see what comes out of it, this truth or lie, one can balance that for himself.
This book being done by an investigative reporter is looking at facts not fiction and they are provable.
One thing I looked at in the book as I read it, was the definition or terminology used during the initial testing and procedures they used at the Pasadena county hospital. those words used to describe the types and various forms of cancer were put into use in the English language and recorded in the Webster’s dictionary around the years that this was actually happening. This in itself is a viable proof that the technology was accurately used during that time and is still in existence today.

I suppose I'm too spoilt by the ruthlessly referenced, more recent-written books on health & science I've been gorging on lately - I found this a bit too erratic and jumping to conclusions. However, considering the main time period Lynes is investigating (1930s-50s) and the fact that Rife & cohorts work and records were repeatedly destroyed and covered-up, I will just have to take his word for it.
Quite a bit of hyperbole going on that I could have lived without, you can state your opinion clearly without having to get wound up about it, otherwise we're getting in to "One think the lady doth protest too much" territory...
Other than my petty grievances, this is a great starting point for anyone interesting Rife's work and the history of cancer research.

I had many problems with text to speech on a poor quality ebook copy of this older work. I think the story is a good but I question why it is Not more known and in wider circles with cancer being as prevalent as it is. Still it's likely Rife was ahead of his time in many ways and his invention (if it did/does cure cancer) was likely born at a time when it could be easily destroyed by greedy evil people. Maybe the world will never know the whole story... this book gives little or no detail about what the invention was, how it worked. how well it worked, side-effects, etc. etc.

While each story labeled "conspiracy" should be safeguarded and shared, most get scutinized to dust and often become adjectives for the "current" talking points memo...
Here we have a book Mr Lynes didn't have to write! He could have been out on the Golf Course but for some reason he choose to devote a huge part of his life to this tribute to truth :::

A story that deserves to be told, but it mostly felt tedious reading this. It's tedious by necessity I suppose. This does interest me in looking into more writings about corrupt and immoral health, drug, and medical agencies though.

Interesting to say the least.
