Introduction to Rife-Bare Devices
Royal Rife was a scientist who developed and tested most of his inventions in
the early to mid part of the 1900's. He was persecuted for his work,
his lab burned down, and most of his notes destroyed. However, there were
some that survived. The story of Rife's inventions and legal troubles is
detailed in the Barry Lynes' book called The Cancer Cure that Worked and
in the short article Morris Fishbein. A short biography of Rife is provided on this page. Stan Truman's and other websites have historic papers and some videos of
Rife. There is more information on these topics in the Rife
Bare Links.
The Rife Bare device was invented by James Bare after studying Royal Rife's
work. Bare's Rife generator may produce some of the same beneficial
effects of the original Rife device using modern electronic components. It
may or may not be as effective as the original. It uses audio frequencies
like many bioelectronic devices do, but instead of just holding onto the outputs
of a function generator or other pad device, the audio frequencies are combined
with a radio frequency (RF) carrier signal, amplified, then output to a
"plasma tube" which is a sealed glass tube usually filled with mostly
argon and some neon gas. This tube emits "the beam" and cannot
be touched since it will cause RF burns.
Although some high powered devices with large tubes can radiate the beam for
a hundred or more feet, it is generally recommended to sit closer to the device,
some say as little as 3 to 6 feet, for the greatest effects. One should
not sit very close (less than 3 feet) to an operating tube for a long time due
to the RF effects, but it is generally safe in this respect since holding one's
head at 18 inches from the tube is the RF equivalent of using a cellular
phone.
 Many people build their own devices using the instruction manual James Bare
sells on his website and usually with some help from the friendly folks on the
rife listservers. Some buy the device from one of the main two
manufacturers of them, RifeTechnology Inc, who sells the most, or Vibrant
Health, a.k.a Dave's Electronics. See the Links section. Building one can
cost in the $1500 or more range if a nice programmable function generator is
used. Buying them already constructed and tested starts around $3000 (prices
at the start of 2002). {Oct 2002 note: Rife Technology is no longer
allowed to sell devices the those in the US. They still sell the
premodified components for making construction much easier, though.}
Using the correct frequencies is the key to success with the devices.
The "master list" is called the Consolidated Annotated Frequency
List, or CAFL. It is probably the most-used resource for frequency
researchers. www.electroherbalism.com is the keeper of the CAFL and it is available on this website in the Frequencies and
Anecdotes section. Many if not most of the frequencies in the CAFL are
not well tested, though. There is no guarantee of any beneficial effects
in using them. If frequency sets are being run and are not effective
many people resort to using scans, running sets where the frequency slowly
changes, to see if any good frequencies can be found.
Some people can feel "hits" when the device is being used, usually
within a few seconds after a new frequency starts running, but sometimes
longer. These can occur when a targeted organism or cells cause enough
stimulation of nearby muscles or nerves to be felt. It usually feels like
a pulsing, itching, tingling, or tickling. Some people feel no hits, even
when target frequencies are being used and providing benefit. Some people
feel lots of hits even when a session provides no apparent benefit.
Feeling hits is useful since the frequencies which produced them can then be run
more often or for extended periods until they are no longer felt.
Detox issues are important when rifing. Detox reactions can occur when
the kidneys, liver, blood, and lymph are overloaded by processing too much
cellular debris after a rife session or any other antiseptic
regimen. Common terms to describe it are "flu-like" and
"brain-fog." Lymph nodes may also swell. Rifing
should never be done if there are still detox symptoms from the last
session. If detox is not handled properly, sessions may not be able to be
run as often as is necessary to control the problem, in which case all is for
nought, so it can be essential. The best single treatment to prevent or
treat a detox reaction is The
Water Cure. There is also a detailed protocol for it in the Regimens section if even more effect is needed.
Some make the mistake of using only bioelectronics for problems which would
be best treated by cleansing, nutritional, or other naturopathic regimens.
This is discussed further in the short Bioelectronics article in the Naturopathy Therapies section.
There are many products out there that call themselves "Rife"
devices. To most of the serious users and researchers, it is generally an
insult to call a plain function generator a "Rife device" but it is
frequently done. Some of them are just programmable function
generator pad devices which don't even let unique frequencies be run, nor
display the actual frequencies, and instead use "codes."
What's worse, some of these crippled function generators cost in the $3000 and
up range, but they make up for it by making claims like that theirs is the one
"true" rife device <g>. There are good programmable
function generators that can be used as pad devices in the $500 to 700 range,
and have the benefit of being able to be used in a Rife Bare or other plasma
tube device if it is later decided to upgrade.
