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 scratch 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 undesirable 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 knowledge to judge quality and value for themselves. Even amongst those who have been experimenting 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 amazing things and this is the truth. But the majority of those accomplishments were not done with home made Ray Beam 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.
