Great! That probably means you are "our kind" of people. A high degree of skepticism is a good thing, especially today. We welcome your skepticism. If you are skeptical and reading this page at all, you are probably like so many people who would like to believe in the Rife technology, but you need to have some really well grounded facts before you even open up to a dialog.
The more scientific you are about it, the better you will understand our message. But we are not really here to convince you of anything. Our job in this regard is to give a full disclosure to our users. We don't normally give much time to skeptics, for the reason that, in most cases, once you sit down in front of a really good instrument of this type, you won't be a skeptic anymore.
For what it is worth though, we will offer to you a few of the basic known quantities, in hopes that these will encourage you to call us for more information, or personal counselling.
The first thing is that Rife and his story are real historical events. Our link to the Smithsonian Annual Report for 1944, should prove that. Although not all of the things that have become popular diatribe are factual. Example: Some makers like to emphasize the persecution of Rife and Rife machine manufacturers, and use such exaggerations to create a sense of urgency by implying that it won't be available much longer.
If you have looked at a lot of web sites other than JWLABS, you have probably seen a lot of conflicting information, or plain disinformation. This confuses the important issues, which leads to skepticism in the minds of most reasonable people.
When we were first introduced to the Rife technique, we were skeptical too. In fact, we are among the most skeptical of people, in part because after you have been scammed enough times, you don't quickly accept much of anything, even when the proof is staring you in the face. At that time, (1986), all that Internet rhetoric and mumbo-jumbo, did not exist. We had to figure it out for ourselves.
One of the obvious and best known principals of the Rife technology likens it to shattering a glass with the right musical tones. A hundred years ago, there were probably a lot of people who would have a hard time believing that, unless they could see it for themselves. However, in the modern world, these principals are no longer doubted.
A lesser known principal of Rife has to do with taking advantage of the difference in strength between virus and bacteria and that of a human cell. The difference can be as much as a million times. Radiation therapy attempts to take advantage of the difference in the strength of a normal human cell and a human cancer cell, which is a very small difference by comparison. The Rife tranducer is in part, designed to exploit the difference between human cells and pathogens, by means of current. It only takes a few volts at miniscule amperage, to electrocute almost any pathogen, instantly. JWLABS machines deliver this electocuting energy, which is at the same time a stimulus to the body, incorporating Rife's Mortal Oscillatory Rates. Even if you have doubts about the MORs, it is very difficult to be skeptical about the effects of microbial electrocution.
Electro-stimulators have been in use by the mainstream medical profession for many years. Their ability to revitalize and to reduce pain, are well established. It is also a matter of historical fact that much of that technology has been built on the work of Dr. Royal Raymond Rife, of San Diego, California.
You may examine additional information by reading our Rife FAQ page, which answers twice as many questions as are most often asked. This should at least take the edges off of your skepticism.
However, legitimate scientific or professional skepticism will probably not be satisfied in the present research environment of Rife technology. Although the theoretical principals of the therapy does not contradict established sciences and cannot be credibly refuted by the basic sciences of Pathology, Chemistry, Pharmacology and Physics, it is still very often regarded as a fraudulent practice. This is likely due to the preponderance of poor quality devices or the low percentage of genuine instruments that are produced in the US.
It was predictable and inevitable that Rife technology would become popular amongst chiropractors, homeopaths, naturopaths, dentists, nurses, veterinarians, accupunturists, etc, and this fact also contributes to the aura of the technology in the eyes of medical authority. These practices are often maligned by conventional medicine, not always justifiably. But the efficacy of the Rife technology has often been remarkable and for it to fall into the hands of unethical practitioners has both the effect of increacing the apparent success of otherwise medically unsuccessful practice, and of placing the technology in the same level of acceptability and credence as the practices in which it is so often used.
The general lack of regulation in some of these practices, makes them a haven for quackery, which may be rightly seen as a tool of "calculated neglect" that encourages their villification by conventional doctors and researchers. Homeopathic drugs, for example, are not subject to the same truth in advertising as conventional drugs, making them more vulnerable to invasion by unethical practitioners and thus attract ridicule unjustly, to those who are both sincere and efficacious. The end result of a lack of reasonable regulation being the appearance that these practices as a whole are a danger to the public, which is not a scientific judgement in the least, but more a means of manipulation of public sentiment.
Lack of reasonable regulation also means that products and equipment that is sold and marketed as Rife technology, may be nothing of the sort. There are many false Rife machines, and the promoters of these fall into a spectrum of classifications from outright frauds to the genuinely mistaken. It is also quite common for false Rife machines to adopt all the same words and phrases as are used to describe genuine Rife instruments, making it impossible even for experienced users to determine either the hardware value or efficacy as opposed to price.
Dosages, amplitudes, waveforms, frequencies and session protocols all are without labeling requirements, acceptable standards, or authoritative training. This means that all of these critical factors are subject to arbitrary opinion and must certainly fall under the US House of Representatives definition of quackery, wether they are genuine or false machines and/or practitioners.
Further mass confusion concerning the Rife technology stems from the very fact of its basic truths. The results possible from the use of a very feeble machine is often quite impressive the first time it is used. This is similar to many drugs, where the maximum notable effect occurs upon the first use. The long term effectiveness of the drug may taper off dramatically thereafter. Such a feeble machine does not display its diminished result and this is not evident to the user until after they have made a purchase. Feeble machines may be adequate to prove the theory, even in a scientific environment, but still fall short of having any real therapeutic or medicinal value. This one time only effect has been enough to convince even the most ardent skeptic and astute scientists and researchers should be aware that these effects are common and misleading.
Rife machines are further stigmatized by a lack of approval compared to the percieved credibility and public acceptance of products that are approved and widely marketed in advertizing media. It is the opinion of many drug examiners and approval preparers for drug companies that the present fast track approval process is even more a danger to the public than any snake oil, as evidenced by the mass recalls and withdrawls from the market of well known drugs. In these cases, it is obvious that the approval process is seriously compromised and wholely inadequate. Unlike the use of transducers and Rife machines, which have been in use for as much as a hundred years, new, unproven drugs are approved and placed on the market in as little as 5 months. It is simple logic to realize that until a product has been tested or used for at least 50 years, its long term side effects simply cannot be determined.
There is real doubt of the value of the official approval of Rife machines. Hostile regulation is probably not better than no regulation at all. The motive for regulation is lacking since it is generally accepted that the technology is grandfathered and therefore exept from conventional regulation. It is subject to fair trade and truthful advertizing, however, and The Federal Trade Commission suggests that the technology is not proven. This claim is arguable, since it has been proven many times in many countries, and it is very easily proven when challenged to do so. Such a challenge is not expected, because it is widely understood that the true Rife technique is massively effective, a fact that some of it's opponents would prefer did not become public or common knowledge.
