Fact From Fiction
So, is there any real proof that precisely controlled electro-magnetic fields can eliminate cancer cells, while leaving the host intact?
Well let me remind you, this is just a little further down the holistic path than conventional radiotherapy, in which x-rays and gamma rays (short wavelength part of the electro-magnetic spectrum) are used to knock out cancer cells. The theory is that if the dose is adjusted carefully, the cancer cells die but not healthy tissue. The reality is that this ideal dose is a myth and with this kind of radiation it is impossible to kill cancer cells effectively without also damaging the patient. But Rife’s experiments focused on a very different part of the electro-magnetic spectrum; radio waves in fact. These too have potential to harm living tissues but are much less aggressive and destructive than radio-activity. Think about this: if it were not so, you would be unable to stand safely near a radio or television set. You might have to wear a lead apron, to protect you, like the ones you’ve seen in hospital or at your dentist’s office. Now other scientists have studied the use of electro-magnetic fields in the treatment of cancer and their researches seem to have converged directly with Rife’s pioneer work.

Even orthodox medicine is beginning to embrace the whole phenomenon. They now talk about “electrochemotherapy”, in which doses of a chemo drug, such as bleomycin or cisplatin are driven into the cancer cells by high-frequency pulsed electro-magnetic waves. What happens is that the electric pulses upset the cell physiology and cause the cell membranes to become temporarily leaky or permeable. The effect is called “electroporation” and was exactly what Rife discovered, except that in his research the effect was so strong that the cell walls literally burst and the cell contents spilled out, killing it (see “irreversible electroporation” below)

Irreversible Electroporation
Rife never used chemotherapy or any other drug agent, just electro-magnetic frequencies. Rife’s discovery lay in the realm of physics, not biochemistry or pharmacology. Even so, this convergence of research streams is very gratifying. The FDA’s stand that Rife’s technology was a fraud now looks wholly untenable, scientifically. The actual mechanism of cell death in Rife’s method is called “irreversible electroporation”. A paper from the Department of Bioengineering, Graduate Group in Biophysics, University of California at Berkeley, tells us more:
Certain electrical fields when applied across a cell can have as a sole effect the permeabilization of the cell membrane, presumable through the formation of nanoscale defects in the cell membrane. Sometimes this process leads to cell death, primarily when the electrical fields cause permanent permeabilization of the membrane and the consequent loss of cell homeostasis, in a process known as irreversible electroporation. This is an unusual mode of cell death that is not understood yet. While the phenomenon of irreversible electroporation may have been known for centuries it has become only recently rigorously considered in medicine for various applications of tissue ablation.
[Technol Cancer Res Treat. 2007 Aug;6(4):255-60.]
Permeabilization is a ridiculous word, even in this context; it simply means “making permeable” (in other words, leaky!) Porous is the familiar word; hence: electroporation.
Ablation is a medical term for destroying (tissues).
History
In researching I found interesting scientific history to support this report. A historical review shows that irreversible electroporation may have been observed as early as 1754 when Nollet studied the discharge of a static electrical generator on the skin (Nollet, J. A. Recherches sur les causes particulieres des phénoménes électriques. Paris: Chez H.L. Guerin & L. F. Delatour (1754). Other studies that are possible candidates for a designation as the first studies on irreversible electroporation are the 1898 publication of Fuller, in which it is reported that multiple high voltage discharges have bactericidal effect on a water sample [Fuller, G.W. Report on the investigations into the purification of the Ohio river water at Louisville Kentucky. New York: D. Van Nostrand Company (1898)]. Some of the first systematic studies that describe phenomena typical of irreversible electroporation were done on myelinated nerve tissue such as the 1956 work of Frankenhauser and Widen, who base their work on the 1898 work of Biedermann (Biedermann, W. Electrophysiology Vol. (vol 2). London: Macmillan (1898)), and whose results were confirmed by Stampfli and Willi in 1957 (Stampfli, R., Willi, M. Membrane potential of a Ranvier node measured after electrical destruction of its membrane. Experientia 13, 297-298 (1957).
The seminal study on irreversible electroporation is a series of three 1960s papers by Sale and Hamilton who demonstrate a non-thermal lethal effect of high electrical fields on organisms in suspensions.

While ignored by medicine, until recently, irreversible electroporation has been used in the food industry for sterilization and preprocessing of food since the 1961 work of Doevenspeck [Doevenspeck, H. Influencing cells and cell walls by electrostatic impulses. Fleishwirtshaft 13, 986-987 (1961)].
{Yes, there are many studies and patents to be found about food sterilization with the use of electricity/frequencies}
China Ahead!
This is the first of two very recent and important studies (both published in April 2009) By a Chinese team headed by researcher Xiao-Jun Yang from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Hospital of Wenzhou Medical College [Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research 2009, 28:53doi:10.1186/1756-9966-28-53]. Full electronic versions at: http://www.jeccr.com/content/28/1/53
They investigated what they termed high frequency steep pulsed electric fields (SPEFs) on in vitro and in vivo antitumor efficiency of ovarian cancer cells. They were aware that repetition of low-frequency electric pulses induces painful muscle contractions, which can be unpleasant, and they wanted check that higher frequencies, rapidly pulsed, got over this unpleasant side effect, without losing the cancer-killer result. They studied gradually increasing frequencies (1, 60, 1 000, 5 000 Hz) and electric field intensity (50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400 V/cm) respectively; V/cm is a measure of “how much” electricity. We don’t need to be any more technical than that. The experimenters looked at both microscope samples, measuring the amount of damage to cancer cells (in vitro), and also the actual size and appearance of the tumors (in vivo). They studied mice.
Results
SPEFs with a given frequency and appropriate electric field intensity could achieve similar cytotoxicity until reached a plateau of maximum cytotoxicity (approx. 100%). Cell damage (cytotoxicity) was clearly seen. Also the frequency of 5 kHz could induce apoptosis seen both in vitro and in vivo. Apoptosis is the “programmed cell suicide” you may have heard about. It’s Nature’s way of getting rid of aged and rogue cells. They were using a pulsed technique (short bursts of exposure to electromagnetic waves) that was a mixture of millisecond bursts and nanosecond bursts. What they are reporting, in essence, is that certain frequencies and amplitudes achieved 100% cell death. That’s what Rife found, 80 years ahead of the curve.

How Can We Use This Valuable Knowledge?
Simply put, get yourself a frequency generator. You don’t need a Rife machine. Besides, broadcasting radio frequencies exactly as Rife did would contravene FCC regulations in the USA and similar laws in most countries. Today we would use a Direct digital synthesis (DDS) method of producing an analog waveform—usually a sine wave—by generating a time-varying signal in digital form and then performing a digital-to-analog conversion. Because operations within a DDS device are primarily digital, it can offer fast switching between output frequencies, fine frequency resolution, and operation over a broad spectrum of frequencies. With advances in design and process technology, today’s DDS devices are very compact and draw little power.
You can learn more about DDS here, if you are technically minded:

Some knowledgeable manufacturers have put together frequency generators (sometimes called function machines) specifically with health applications in mind. In choosing one that might help you with cancer, Lymes, parasitosis or any other health condition, these are the points to look for:

-A frequency range of 1 Hz or less, up to 18 MHz (mega-Hertz)
-Pulsing capabilities (usually called “gating” in function generators)
-Choose one that has a high frequency carrier wave (above 1 mHertz). The crude devices with plates or electrodes which deliver only a basic frequency are nowhere near the technology described here, though many devices claiming to follow Rife’s method are like this.
-You might want to look for a device which will “sweep” through a range of frequencies each session. The rationale is that this will sooner or later pass through an MOR frequency and have its cancer-killer effect, rather like a stopped clock is accurate at least twice a day!
-Some sequencing and programming capabilities may turn out to be convenient, though this is not strictly necessary, if you don’t mind the labor of manually inputting the settings each time you use it (this can be tedious).
-Of course it goes without saying you should make sure there is technical support from people who understand the health applications of an electroporation frequency machine.
The good news is that frequencies can be generated using any standard function generator, such as an HP, B&K or Lucent. But the device I found which best meets all the above specifications is the GB400, made in the USA by knowledgeable health and electronics experts. It has an additional amplifier for more electroporation power and also has some very useful pulsing features. It’s much easier to use than a basic generator because it’s designed for health uses.
Rife is Finally FDA Approved (Kinda)!
To those who know the full story, it seems kind of ironic that the FDA would approve a Rife-type device. Yet that is precisely what happened in April 2011, when an FDA panel backed a novel, noninvasive device that uses an electrical field designed to blast apart cancer cells, as a potential treatment for brain cancer. The device, called the NovoTTF (for tumor treating fields), was designed by a private firm, NovoCure Ltd., which has operations in Israel and the U.S. It is being developed for use in patients with glioblastoma, a common form of brain cancer, initially for use after standard treatments fail. NovoCure's device is designed to disrupt the division of cancer cells in the brain using alternating electrical fields delivered by means of insulated electrodes applied to the surface of the scalp.
The portable device uses electric fields to disrupt the division of cancer cells that allows tumors to grow and spread. The electric fields have little effect on healthy cells because they divide at a much slower rate, if at all, compared with cancer cells. The FDA approved the device specifically for a tumor type known as glioblastoma, the most aggressive form of brain cancer. Five-year survival for the disease is just 2% for patients over 45 years old, according to the American Cancer Society. If it proves out, then we may see approval extended to a wide variety of cancerous situations; not just the hopeless glioblastoma cases. The panel of non-FDA medical experts voted 7 to 3 in favor of a question that asked whether the benefits of the device outweighed the risks. Two panel members abstained from voting. The panel unanimously said the product was safe, but split on whether the product is effective.
The Classic Lock and Key Model
The classical “lock and key” or its modified “induced fit” models assumes that in the extremely crowded environment of the cell (where there are billions of molecules) by random collisions those molecules that have complementary shapes lock onto to each other so the appropriate biochemical reactions can take place. This random collision approach also supposed to explain how enzymes can recognize their respective substrates, how antibodies in the immune system can grab onto specific foreign invaders and disarm them and how proteins can dock with different partner proteins or latch onto specific nucleic acids to control gene expression etc.
Well, that’s what everyone is taught. And the theory is NONSENSE. If you have read my book “Virtual Medicine” (2nd edition), you will know I draw extensively on the late Jacques Benveniste’s work (the Memory Of Water man){perhaps this would be an interesting read, keeping in mind the session with the C's where Rife was mentioned?}. Benveniste pointed out that the “lock and key” model was totally untenable and would require thousands of years, statistically, for any two related molecules to actually collide. He realized that molecules were actually signaling their presence to their key receptors using resonance magnetic frequencies. This are instantaneous, virtually, and act across distance.; in other words no actual contact of molecules an receptors is required.
