In 1930, while working as a chauffer for a wealthy escondian, R.R. Rife created a Microscope capable of magnification of 17k diameters. The previous (electron) Microscope was only able to magnify up to 2k. Rife had spent the previous 16 years perfecting his invention in his employers room above the garage, using only his hobbist acquired skills of refractionary optics and love of sound.
He used six quartz crystals strategically placed and a special candle luminescent light bulb to achieve this. His Rife Microscope, for the first time in history, enabled doctors and scientists to view live cellular / viral activity close up. Amazingly, Rife was able to discover that almost all cellular human afflictions were the result of bacterias and viruses. Measles, mumps, rubella, infantile paralysis (aka polio), cancers, smallpox and influenza, were all distinguishable with his microscope. It was arguably the greatest discovery in modern medicine.
Esteemed doctors and professors were shocked, when Dr Rife showed not only could he view the live viruses, he knew how to destroy them. Which he did, Successfully, in all of his trials. He realized that the wavelength that made the viruses detectable in his Microscope, must've been the wavelength that they "vibrated" at, and he surmised if he pointed a ray tuned to that same wavelength, the bacteria and viruses would disintegrate. Simply put, these "wavelengths" worked the same way that a color television tuned colors on your TV set.
Between May 1931 and February 1932, word of his creation spread like wildfire. He reported that it was the chemical properties of the host and bacteria that caused disease and cancer, and not the virus itself. A bad/slow metabolism and high acidity in the blood were necessary for the disease to thrive.
Dr Yale used Rifes invention and techniques to cure every cancer case that came into his office, for over 2 years, without fail. The same for diseases. And all with a simple technique that involved no cutting, no poisons and little downtime, with a 100% success rate.
It was hailed as the greatest advance in medical science since pasteurized milk.
Just as quickly as Dr Rife had exploded in fame, he disappeared. By May 1932, a little over a year since he went public, and at the height of interest, all news of his invention were gone.. never to be mentioned again; except once, 35 years later, in one local newspaper. The Oxford Inquisitor, 1966.
So, what happened? Seeing as how he's never again mentioned in any periodicals that I could find, it is anyone's guess. Why would a simple, cheap and effective cure for cancer and disease manage to just, disappear?
There are many theories floating around.
UPDATE: Royal Raymond Rife was born in America in 1888 of Scottish ancestry. Whilst at John Hopkins University, he began working for the American arm of the German lens manufacturer Carl Zeiss and later spent some time with them in Germany. At the outbreak of WW1 he returned to America and is believed to have worked for the US Government. In the 1920’s he began designing and building microscopes and by 1933 had perfected the technology for his incredibly complex Universal Microscope, the third of five, which claimed to be able to magnify objects to 60,000 times their normal size, enabling the viewer to see live viruses for the first time.
As a result of his observations, Rife claimed that he could identify a “Mortal Oscillatory Rate” for various pathogenic organisms and could destroy specific organisms by the directed radio frequency energy of a patented “Beam Ray” machine, these results were verified. Later, Rife became commercially involved with the Beam Ray Company, which manufactured equipment purportedly to cure cancer based on Rife’s thesis. Although clinical trials were started, the treatment aroused the hostility of the medical establishment, mainly the AHA and Rockefeller Institute, and a relentless series of lawsuits effectively bankrupted the company in the late 1930's.
In the following years approximately 100 of Rife’s Frequency Instruments were in use by Physicians around the world and by the 1950’s interest had been revived, but again medical hostility resulted in attacks on Rife’s laboratory and prosecution and reputational deatruction of his associates. Rife retired to obscurity, became an alcoholic, and died penniless and ruined, from a suspected heart attack while sitting in his car in the garage in 1971; and although there have been several attempts in recent years to market devices based on Rife’s technology the field remains mired in controversy and litigation.
