Frequently Asked Questions about Rife machines

Why haven't I heard about Rife before?

There are a number of theories as to exactly what has suppressed the technology over the years. Most of them are exaggerated, glamorized, or simply untrue. What is true, is that some people loose track of what they can say about their machines without getting into legal trouble. Others leap to conclusions about what the machines can really do. Occasionally, they run amuck of the law, and then claim they are being treated unfairly, or are being persecuted. When this happens they become overly cautious. So, the answer to this question is that users and manufacturers as well, have developed a tradition of not telling people about it, even when the need is great, purely out of a need for self preservation. Therefore, if you already know about it, it will not be deliberately hidden from you, but if you do not know about it, and do not seek it out, nobody is going to come knocking at your door, or send you unsolicited email. This keeps the profile down. Conventional medicine and other big business are not interested in the technology for the reason that they do not want to invest a lot of capital in a technology that they cannot patent, and cannot exclusively control. In a few cases, however, businessmen and industry have taken a clue from Rife technology, and developed their own, unique interpretations, which can be patented. The TENS unit, which has been approved by the FDA for many years, the bone growth stimulator, also approved are examples of Rife machines that you may have heard about. The Cybersonic, Ionic, Sonic, and other types of advanced tooth brushes are based on fundamental insights taken directly from the Rife technology. Outside of the US, there are many countries that have embraced the advent of frequency therapy. It seems to fall in and out of favor, depending on the administration or regime. This is probably because the technology, if it is done correctly, is fantastically effective, and tends to inhibit some sectors of the medical profession. The drug business is definately the most obvious of these, but it effects every part of medicine to greater or to lesser degrees. Politics plays a role in the suppression of Rife machines.

Will it work for me?

     It depends, in part, on what you are trying to accomplish with the machine. It also depends on wether or not the machine you get, is able to do that job, since not all machines are equal. If you expect a limited function device, such as a zapper, or a tens unit to perform as a full function device, you may be dissapointed.
     There are profound differences between a broadcast device and a transducer, as there are distinct differences between an analog device and a digital device. Of these, only a very few are capable of everything a Rife machine is expected to do.
     If the problem you have is something that is incurable, the Rife machine may be your best bet. There are a number of afflictions that can only be treated successfully with a full function instrument. But if all you expect is daily maintenance, lesser machines may do the job quite well. Unfortunately, you might spend thousands of dollars on an instrument that is not able to handle your particular problem, and yet, a simpler, and much cheaper device may do the job easily.
     Your success with any home remedy may depend on an accurate diagnosis. Once you have that, it helps a whole lot to be well educated about the nature of the problem, what causes it, what the symptoms are, and how it is normally treated.
     Where you are located, where you grew up, and your personal habits often determine how difficult it might be to treat a given problem successfully. People who live in big cities often do not respond as well to the therapy as do those who live in remote, or isolated regions. So the environment and your living conditions play an important part. This is true for many types of remedy, including the conventional allopathic approach.
     Complications to a simple problem, underlying, disrelated problems, especially when they are located in the same general part of the body, contribute to ambiguities in the results you realize. If you contract an infection in unusual way, even if it is a very common infection, might make it very difficult to deal with as compared to the average case. A history of drug use, prescription or otherwise, alcohol, or steroids, usually reduces the chances or slows down your ability to recover, especially if traditional medicine has failed. Very advanced or very long term problems usually do not respond as well as newly contracted, or untreated problems of the same type. Knowing exactly why the problem exists helps a great deal.
     Conventional testing is the most common way users confirm their results. The therapy should not be used to replace most straight forward medical treatment. Be sure to see a doctor, or a specialist, and be sure to get copies of any and all records, test results and Xrays that they routinely keep. The more you know and the more information you have that you can use to compare your problem with recorded cases, the better equipped you are to deal with a problem yourself.
     There are very few users who do not do better with a JWLABS machine than they would have without it. Although we are not doctors, we will do everything we know how, to help you. One of the most important things that you can do to assure your success, regardless of the remedy, is to follow the instructions strictly and regularly.

How long does it usually take for it to work?

     If you use microscopy, or any other testing method, conventional or otherwise, the first thing you will be struck by is the fact that unlike most other therapies, the Rife machine starts working immediately. Amayzing changes happen within seconds. Long before the changes are noticeable to you, marked, scientifically observable changes will happen in virtually every user.
     This doesn't mean that it will cure you that fast. Normally it takes some time just to become accustomed to the effects that are produced. One case in a hundred does not respond as expected, or not at all. But by carefully examinimg the facts of the case and the circumstances, the symptoms and other complications, it is usually possible to determine with some degree of reliability, the reason why. If you can figure out why, often there is a way to make it work.
     In the treatment of such things as gangrene, usually there is only time for a single treatment. It has to be done at high power, at the right frequencies, for an extended session duration. Life and limb have been saved in more than one case, as reported. Influenza can be treated, but prevention by means of regular maintenance sessions is the preferred method, due to the potential for Herxheimenr (healing crisis) type reactions. Used in general healing for wounds and broken bones, accellerated healing about twice as fast as normal are typical reports in testimonials. Cancer responds according to the type. Some reports indicate that fast growing, terminal, inoperable tumors have been all but eliminated in 2 weeks. Thickly encapsulated, slow growing, benign tumors may not respond at all. There seems to be no reliable rules in the treatment of cancer. The machine does not kill human cells, and so it does not kill human cancer cells. The treatment is expected to remove the cause of the cancer, unless it is caused by a toxin, asbestos, or radiation. Removal of the cause, will usually bring remission in adavanced cases, and may bring a complete cure in less advanced cases. Nothing works if it is simply too late and the systems of the body are already breaking down, as is observed in general systemic failure just prior to the death spiral.
     Multiple Sclerosis, and Fibromyalgia cases cover the full range from no results, to complete cessation of all symptoms. This has been done in as little as three months, and as long as two years.
     In general, the machine works very fast. So fast, that the first few sessions are critical. With an analog, full function, double power instrument such as the ones we make, the first two or three sessions must be done with extreme caution, so as to avoid extreme reactions. Once this danger is past, regular sessions may begin. With lesser machines, the first few sessions may be the only time results are seen. Many people, new users and experienced practitioners alike have been confounded by the vast differences in the efficacy of different makes of Rife instrument and how difficult it is to tell which are good for a lifetime of therapy, and which will only work for a week or two.

How dangerous is Rife therapy?

     It is best to use the analogy of the automobile, since most people are familar with them. As a non user, you have either been walking, or riding your bike. Now you are about to climb into a Ferrari F50, and get out onto a full competition race track. In other words, it is only as dangerous as you are. If you are a foolhardy know-it-all, or have declared yourself an "instant expert" you may very well kill yourself. But you are still going to have to do some very stupid things before you die.
     If you are appropriately cautious and take the time to fully understand what you are doing before you put your foot to the floor, you will be fine. But in order for a car to take you down the highway, it must also have the power to take you over a cliff.
     Injuries using the transducer are extremely rare however, for a number of important reasons. Obviously, if the machine you have is only capable of treating a quarter of a cubic inch at a time, there is no danger, because the machine is not powerful enough to hurt you. It is also not powerful enough to accomplish much except perhaps to prove that the technology works, even in its most inneffective forms. By contrast, both Model A and Model B have enough power to treat a horse, and can deliver enough current to thoroughly permeate every cell in your body. These devices are also sensitive enough to treat a mouse. Obvously, what is needed to treat the body lies somewhere in between.
     One of the built in factors of a transducer that helps prevent injuries is that in order to hurt yourself, you would have to apply enough power to cause pain. So, for the same reason that you never use so much volume when using a headphone that it causes pain and thereby avoid doing harm to your hearing, you will avoid causing pain with the machine. Still, it is possible to do very dangerous things with the machine. For instance, if you were to place the electrodes of the machine over your temples, turn the machine up to maximum, and then switch the machine on, you could do serious harm to yourself. This and other potentially harmful mistakes are things that we are very aware of, and we always like to walk new users through their first few sessions so that we can be sure they get a reasonable understanding of the proper use of the machine.
     Without question, the single most prominent of all dangers of the machines we make is the hazard of over use. Although not much of a problem for experienced users, the potential for over use among new users is something that we stress. The machine is not like a drug. It isn't something that you can over dose yourself using. It isn't putting new chemicals into your body and polluting it. Rather, it is going to continue to make changes to the chemicals already in your body, called endergonic reactions. It will continue to do this for as long as you keep using it. Although we always tell people that it is not recommended for systemic sessions more than 30 minutes every three days, many people exceed this. The reason they do, is either they did not believe what we warned them about, or they simply forget how much they have used it. Consider, that a completely healthy person might use the machine everyday for an hour day after day, but after about ten days, it will hit them suddenly, and they will develop severe toxic reactions.
     For new users, there is a real possibility of undiagnosed infection, which in the extreme case, can have the same effect in a matter of minutes, literally after a single session. The methods we use to prevent this from happening and the sort of sessions that we suggest in the beginning are tailored with this in mind.
     If we have scared you, relax. When used properly, the machine is far less dangerous than a hair dryer, a toaster, or an electric razor. It is safe, but not recommended for children.  Under the age of 13 must be with adult supervision.
     Other, more common cautions are included in the operating instruction booklet that comes with the machine. These cautions are covered with each customer verbally before they receive their machine. It is routine for us to interview each customer, to determine if there are any special dangers for that individual, based on their history.

Will it make my problems worse?

     No. The machine will not make matters worse. Indirectly, however it is not a good idea to use the machine instead of having the sort of care your doctor suggests. Like using it to avoid a surgical proceedure that you need.
     For people suffering from viral infections like HIV, or hepatitis, it is best to refrain from using the machine for at least a few days before a viral load test, because using the machine will stir up pathogens, and other measurable blood factors, which is a normal effect of the device that will throwoff the results of most tests of this kind. White cells are also brought out, and become much more active. Shattered virus may not be distinguishable from live virus. Increased antigens may appear to indicate changes that are not really correct. This could make it look a lot worse than it really is, and cause the doctor to make incorrect judgements about your condition. You will feel fine, but your doctor may wonder how it is that you are even walking around.
     If tests are the means by which you are measuring your progress, just take leave of the machine for three to five days. The debris in your system will have time to clear out completely, and the test will reflect more accurately your true condition.

Do you have testimonials?

     Of course, we have testimonials going back a very long time. But testimonials are like employment references, in that no one prints the bad ones. If you buy a machine because they have ten testimonials that are impressive to you, you have no way of knowing what they really mean to you and your chances with that device. If the machine is only effective for one in a thousand cases, then your chances are only one in a thousand, but after they have sold ten thousand devices, they will have ten good testimonials.
     The FTC (federal trade commission) does not permit testimonials of so called unproven medical technologies. Although we do have a handful of very short quips and quotes from recent customers on the home page, they are related to JWLABS more than they are focused on any medical case or outcomes.
     We don't need the FTC to tell us that testimonials can be very misleading. In our records are many astounding testimonials, but the way we use them is different. We never use them to convince people to buy machines from us. An amayzing testimonial is no indication of how things will go for you. That is unethical at best, and fraud at its worst. But we do collect them for future refernce, and we do release them on occasion when we feel it will be helpful for a new user to examine what that user was doing. This does not exclude any other modality, supplements, or therapies they used in conjunction with the machine. Sometimes, their way of doing things is a real aid for new users to design a regimen for themselves based on what worked for others. But this is something that we will do only for existing users, and only when we have permission from the writer of the testimonial, so that in cases where symptoms and diagnosis are very similar, we can put people with common needs in touch with eachother. This way the user has access to living testimonials, and can learn valuable and very specific information about what a successful therapy will really look like.
     It is our opinion, that it is unethical to use testimonials as a selling tool, because they are misleading. But it would also be unethical for us to deny them to people who have already purchased a JWLABS machine, and are looking for ways to do the therapy more effectively. When they apply and appear to offer real help, we share them gladly with our customers. Testimonals printed on this web site are intended as character references, nothing more.
     We want every customer to be successful. One of the ways we can assure this, is to make sure that each customer has a true and realistic expectation of what the machine can do for them. If we think their chances are great, we will not hesitate to say so. But if we think that person will need to treat for years with only small improvement, we will tell them the truth, as best we know it.
     In order for JWLABS to continue to be responsible stewards of the Rife technology, we must be scrupulously honest with every customer. We must also pay close attention to the circumstances of any reported failures. The vast majority of our customers are successful, and that success is exactly what our customers expect. So, they usually have little motivation to report success, because that is the norm. It is really only when things do not go as expected that we get most of our calls from customers. These are the cases from which we learn the most, and where we can use new information to improve our products and services.

What is a Rife machine anyway?

     The term is something of a misnomer. The technology and techniques we employ in the thing we call Rife therapy, was mostly developed by others. The frequency instrument, in modern times, is actually a home remedy device that incorporates virtually everything that can be done with an electro-medical device.
     Royal Rife was a microscopist, (someone who makes and develops microscopes). He is correctly attributed as having discovered what are called Mortal Oscillatory Rates, or, the frequencies that devitalize microbes. That function of the therapy, has always been best accomplished with a transducer. An instrument that delivers current to the body that is both a stimulus to the user, but is a destructive force to pathogens of all kinds at the same time. Rife did not invent the transducer. It had been in use a long time before he was born.
     The other school of thought is to the effect that it was the Ray Tube that was the true Rife machine, a device that uses a radio wave to deliver frequencies, rather than current. In a way, there is a dramatically correct aspect to this belief, since the transducer could not be used to treat Rife's microscope. This is because they are too powerful. Transducers will generally kill anything that lives on a microscope slide, at any frequency, because it takes so very little current to kill bacteria in a subject of a single drop of liquid, with no resistance at all. What Rife needed was to prove his theory. In order to accomplish this, he needed a frequency applicator that would ONLY kill one type of pathogen when precisely the correct frequency rate was reached, leaving every other type unharmed.
     The ray tube was used for this purpose, and it was powered by the frequency instrument. The frequency Instrument was the transducer. Of course Rife knew enough about physics to understand that far more energy was needed in order to achieve the same sort of results inside a living body of two hundred pounds or more, where huge resistances would be present. Ray tube promoters were ignorant of these simple facts before they committed to a different paradigm.
     Over the years it has been proven that even a very feeble transducer vastly out performs even the most powerful ray tube modalities for the reason that a transducer is direct, and a broadcast ray, is indirect. There are a great many other things that make the transducer a far better method of delivering frequency to the body. The most notable of these is that of the electrocution of pathogens. Something that no non-contacting instrument can do. Obviously, it is far easier to eletcrocute pathogens than it is to destroy them by frequency alone. Far more reliable as well.
     JWLABS machines deliver the mortal rates at an energy output that is also an electrocuting force to virus and bacteria. This makes the effect a lot more reliable and predictable. There are a host of other effects that can be realized using the transducer, and that are not possible in any other way. The Department of Defense verifies this for us in the document, Electro Conformational Coupling, where endergonic reactions induced by oscillating current are described in detail. They include cyclic enzyme catalysis, mitochondrial ATP synthase, and others. There are many others.
     In the loose language of the present day, virtually anything that delivers frequency to the body might be called a Rife type device. Although there is literally no better or more powerful way to accomplish this than the transducer, frequency delivery devices have taken many diverse forms, from color therapy to the playing of certain musical instruments.
     John Crane, who built machines for Rife for over 20 years, attempted to reveal all of these facts after Rife's death in 1971. His focus was primarily on the fact of microbial electocution, which Rife never revealed. Even though he knew and had proven it's effectiveness, Rife did not openly admit it, again, because he did not invent the transducer. But he did prove it, so the name has stuck.

What is the difference between Model A and Model B?

     In short, there are huge and significant differences in physics and hardware, but only a negligable difference in performance. The purpose of Model A is to make the equipment more cost effective and simpler to use, while maintaining all of the qualities of the true Rife transducer, without any compromise.
     When we were first commissioned to build original style Rife machines, we were just as skeptical as you might expect from scientifically minded businessmen. Their demand for the original vacuum tube based technology placed a burden on us, because vacuum tubes (AKA electron tubes, radio tubes) had been obsolete for decades, actually since the invention of the transistor in the middle of the last century. (Note: a vacuum tube should not be confused with a ray tube. These are not the same thing at all.)
     This was enough of a challenge that it took us eleven months to design and construct our first working vacuum tube device using Rife's original designs as a model. During that time, we invented a simpler way. Since our invention was very simple in design, we were able to develop a working prototype before our first vacuum tube based instrument was completed. We called it Model A, and the original design we called Model B.
     At the time, there was no market for devices like Model A. People mistakenly thought Rife instruments had to be expensive, in order to be any good. It has taken us almost 20 years to perfect the Model A technology.
     Today, Model A machines can do everything Model B can do, but without all that hardware. This makes it much cheaper to make, and can be sold for about one tenth the cost of Model B. Model A has all the advantages of modern electronics, with none of the drawbacks and limitations that have been characteristic of modern innovations in Rife technology. Both instruments are described in detail in our PRODUCTS section.

What makes your machines better than the others?

     It is far too easy to make unfounded claims on the Internet. We can state that we make the best, but anybody can say that. We have rarely had to answer this question because most of our users have taken the time to research the machines available, and the majority of people who do that much, arrive at the same conclusion. JWLABS makes the best Rife machines.
     Like many of the world's top manufacturers, we use contractors whenever we can to save money and to take advantage of their specialized skills. Just the way Henry Ford surrounded himself with experts, we try to employ the best that we can find.
     We are motivated to make the very best device that we can. Our equipment carries a "lifetime" warranty. Our customer service policies are such that people may contact us for help and advice so long as they have a JWLABS machine. We anticipate a long term relationship with our customers and they usually have very high expectations. We answer our toll free numbers 12 hours a day, seven days a week. If customers have any problems, they know that they can call us almost any time.
     There are not many things in the world that you can buy where the maker has that much faith in their products, or that much genuine interest in the satisfaction of their customers. Not cars, not refrigerators, not furniture, not houses, not even tools. So when we say that we make the best, it is not something we say to impress you, it is something we say because we sincerely believe it.
     The machines we make are not easy. Nobody else makes devices anything like JWLABS machines, and nobody else makes a true vacuum tube based instrument, exactly as Rife himself once did. Our Model B is a standard in the industry. Even though Model B is in the public domain, it has almost never been copied because only one in ten qualified electronics engineers can make them successfully. If another company successfully copies Model B, then perhaps there would be a machine that is its equal. but so far, no one has done this. Model B is an expensive instrument. It is very expensive to make. But when it comes to health, there is simply no compromise. There is real doubt that any other machine is made with such a commitment to quality and efficacy.
     The true Rife technology might be compared to an airplane. The exact parameters that make a plane fly must be adhered to in all aircraft, because the laws of physics do not change. If it does not have all of the essential elements in the right proportion, it either will not work, will be too complicated or it will be too dangerous.
     We are not in a hurry. If you doubt what we say, go ahead and buy another. When it does not do the job for you, we will still be here. Take your time. Compare results and hardware, instead of rhetoric. Compare and prove it to yourself so that you can be as sure of what we are doing as we are.

How can I introduce this to my friends without looking like a nut?

     Once you have a good understanding of what the machine can do, and you have used it yourself for a while, you may face a dilema that many JWLABS users eventually must come to grips with. How do you give this vital knowledge to people you know have a need? Unfortunately, unless your friends have indicated an active interest in alternative remedies, they will probably not listen to you anyway.
     It can be very difficult or impossible to talk someone into it, especially if they do not have any problem that seems hopeless to them. Nevertheless, many of us feel compelled to try. This is where Model A can be a great help.
     JWLABS Model A is able to instantaneously convert almost any audio signal into a therapeutic spectral output. In other words, when music from a media device is input, Model A will turn part of that signal into tactile music. Tactile music is music therapy, and although it is entertainment in that form, it will amplify all of the aspects of music that we find enjoyable many, many times. It's fun. it's harmless, it feels terrific, and it is totally non medical in nature. Even so, if the Rife therapy can help them, they will likely notice a minor, positive change in their condition. In this way Model A provides an innocuous means of introducing people to the benefits of the therapy, without having to spend a lot of time explaining things. If it helps them, they will likely want more. If they get curious about it, they will start asking questions.

How much does it cost?

     The true cost of any Rife machine, provided it works, is very small if you calculate what it saves you, and how long it takes to pay for its self in this way. The cost of operation in electricity or in batteries is insignificant.
     There are some very wide disparities between the price of machines of various manufacture, and their effective value. If the machine is nothing more than a modified function generator, it is worth a few hundred dollars, and will usually produce 10 to 20 percent of Rife's original effectiveness. These are going to take much longer to perform the same task as a more efficient machine, so if you have to pay thousands of dollars for it, it is very expensive in more ways than just price. Compare to a common $59 zapper, even with only 2 percent of the effectiveness it is a good value for what you pay.
     Digitally controlled instruments will not be able to achieve frequencies in fine enough increments for a lot of the applications, and again, fall far short of the mark. Prices for these types are fair between $200 and $600, with efficacy about 20 to 30 percent of Rife's original machines.
     Machines that are not sctratch built by the manufacturer, such as modified function generators, are contraptions composed of two or three off the shelf units that are cabled together. A function generator, an amplifier, and in some cases, a CB radio. The cost of the hardware for a contraption usually exceeds its effective value by two or three times. All such machines are at the hobbyist level, and are appropriate for the user who would like to make his own, given a smattering of electronics knowledge.
     Past the "tinkerer" stage, scratch built, independently engineered machines, might still be made in a garage somewhere. This is the device that starts with a function generator chip, and the machine is designed around that. These are usually better because at least the maker is serious about it, and is usually really trying to do a good job. A fair amount of physics is required as well as electronics, and must be blended to achieve the correct parameters, assuming they know them.
     Unfortunately, the efficacy of home built machines start at only 2 percent of the original, and may be more depending on what the maker actually knows. A bottom line hardware plus labor cost for garage built machines should be $300 to $500. It should be noted that most home made machines have not endured the test of time, and are not subjected to quality control as professionally manufactured devices must be. But they can be a good value, provided the maker is doing it for love and not money. Most home made devices are sold at cost, so you would expect to pay $500 to $1000, but efficacy will be a gamble.
      When weighing the values versus the prices of zappers, home made or hobbyist machines which get much above a few hundred dollars, the prospective user is normally better off obtaining a TENS unit by prescription from their doctor.
     The Transcutaneous Electrical Neural Stimulator, is based on Rife technology, and is approved, well tested, and readily available. These may be covered by medical insurance and purchased very inexpensively, with little or no risk. Designed primarily for pain relief, the TENS unit is a limited function Rife instrument, which actually has many more applications than it was approved for. Many JWLABS customers have taken this route before buying a full function Rife machine. This allows them to become familiar with the basic technique, and to safely determine if the Rife machine is a necessary next step, if the TENS device turns out not to be enough to get the job done.
     Like any unregulated business, there is a certain undesireable element who operates on the PT Barnum theory that "there is a sucker born every minute". Users who have no experience with Rife technology need to be extremely cautious, recognizing that they have not yet acquired the knowedge to judge quality and value for themselves. Even amongst those who have been exterimenting with various types of Rife device for many years, are still sometimes fooled by clever marketing and unfounded or unrealistic claims.
     Top quality Rife instruments have been able to accomplish amayzing things and this is the truth. But the majority of those accomplishments were not done with home made contraptions, zappers or digital imitations. So, it is not appropriate for makers of such devices to claim equal efficacy, or to site the achievements of devices that vastly exceed anything lesser machines can do. This would be like pointing out that the world land speed record exceeds the sound barrier, therefore you should pay the same price for a motorized skateboard. There are similarities, but they are obviously not capable of the same performance. Again, buyer beware.

Can it treat more than one person at a time?

      Both JWLABS Model A and Model B can treat two people at once, but the circumstances of this type of use are fairly specific. Normally, it is only appropriate for one person to use the machine at any one time.
     One of the selling points of broadcast type machines which are copies of Rife's Ray Tube applicator is that it can be placed in a room full of people. Rife never used the Ray Tube in this way, for a number of important reasons.
     It is our experience that broadcast machines are not appropriate for Rife therapy, as they were intended only to treat the microscope, in the persuit of proof for the theory of frequency. These "ray" machines use a carrier wave, (AM radio broadcast wave) either producing microwave, or the harmonics of microwave, which can kill human cells, and kills brain cells most readily. These machines may produce some limited effect, but the risks greatly exceed the limited potential benefits they are capable of.
     Rife used the frequency Instrument (the transducer) for therapy, which by design cannot kill human cells.
