Rife machine - what is it?
A "Rife machine" is a research instrument invented by Raymond Royal Rife. Rife machines are devices which emit audio frequencies or radio frequencies applied in some fashion to an individual with the intent of bettering the individual's health. They are used by experimenters, both practitioners and private users alike, to influence the body in making chemical changes. We use the term experimentation deliberately, as that is exactly what this is.
A true "Rife machine", of course, is one made by Royal Rife himself. All others must be considered copy cat devices, simply based on his theories. Most of these devices are referred to as a "frequency generator" and are highly theoretical and experimental in nature.
A Rife machine works on the principle of sympathetic resonance, which states that if there are two similar objects and one of them is vibrating, the other will begin to vibrate as well, even if they are not touching. In the same way that a sound wave can induce resonance in a crystal glass and ultra-sound can be used to break up kidney stones, a Rife machine uses sympathetic resonance to physically vibrate offending bacteria, viruses and parasites resulting in their destruction and elimination from the body.
One theory of illness and disease is that these states reflect “low energy” conditions in the body. Perhaps the frequency energy absorbed from a Rife machine may simply be sufficient to re-energize the body’s healing capabilities...?
Several types of modern day "Rife machines" exist. Some with hand-held cylinders or contact pads connected to audio generators, while others use high voltage to energize plasma lamps, similar to fluorescent tubes, while the individual sits nearby, being exposed to the modulated light energy.
The question always arises about the type(s) of signal(s) that should used, and why. It is generally accepted that the most effective of these frequency generating devices will deliver an analog signal (versus a digital signal) in the RF (radio frequency) range in a square or sine wave pattern.

| Signal gently rises and falls. Can vary the rate of this rise and fall, top and bottom limits, etc. | | Signal sharply turns on and off. Can vary the rate of this "on/off" signal. |
Analog is better because it is in many ways a "more natural" frequency. It includes the sub-tones and overtones to the base number, providing a maximized fullness, essentially a richness of tonal qualities. A very big part of that is what is called the harmonics.
Higher Radio Frequencies were used in most of Rife's early work. He and his associates preferred this higher range over the lower Audio Frequencies that most of the modern day devices emit. Penetration was the reason. The higher RF's penetrate tissue more easily, making it easier to reach deeper into tissue.
Note: These devices have not been approved in the US for treating illness with humans. It has, however, been approved for use in veterinary applications in the US. Little formal medical research has been done in the US; however, several types of frequency devices are medically licensed in Germany and other countries.
