Royal Raymond Rife

Royal Raymond Rife was an American inventor and researcher who lived from 1888 to 1971. He is known for his work in the field of microscopy and claimed to have developed a powerful optical microscope that could see living cells in much greater detail than was previously possible. Rife's microscope, called the "Universal Microscope" or "Rife Machine," purportedly had a resolution that exceeded the capabilities of traditional light microscopes.

One of Rife's most famous claims was that he had identified specific frequencies at which microorganisms could be destroyed using his microscope. He believed that by exposing microorganisms to these frequencies, he could selectively destroy them without causing harm to surrounding tissues. This concept became known as "Rife Frequency Therapy" or "Rife Machine Therapy."

Rife's work gained attention in the 1930s, and he garnered some support from prominent scientists and doctors at the time. However, his claims were also met with skepticism, and his research methods and results were heavily criticized. He never published his findings in peer-reviewed scientific journals, which further added to the controversy surrounding his work.

In the years that followed, Rife's work and his Rife Machine became associated with alternative medicine.

It's important to note that Rife's theories and devices have not been widely accepted by the scientific community, and the use of Rife Machines is not a mainstream medical practice. The field of microbiology and medical science has evolved significantly since Rife's time, and modern treatment methods are based on evidence-based practices that have undergone rigorous scientific testing.
