     This is by no means intended to be a technical manual on Rife technology. The purpose of this page is to attempt to explain in simple terms, some of the questions lay persons rarely know to ask. For more common questions, please visit our Rife FAQ.
     Probably the main issue we should discuss has to do with value versus hardware. Rife machine hardware, meaning the components that go into it, needs to be adequate to do the job, but nothing should be added to the machine that is not actually required. So you will never see meaningless modalities on any JWLABS instrument that are intended merely to impress or to make the machine appear to have more value than it actually has. There are no exotic applicators that have any more valid efficacy, than those provided.
     An examination of the long evolution of applicator technology will reveal that the means of delivering current to the body has gone through many changes over the one hundred year history of the technology.
     Until medical quality electrode patches were invented, the means of application were crude and fairly limited. For the first fifty years, steel plates for the feet to stand on, and metal rods for the hands to grip, were about as good as could be expected. Though horribly inadequate, this was what Rife used from the earliest days. These were only one step ahead of attaching wires to bolts installed in your neck!
     Even today, would be Rife manufacturers use the rods and plates, and although it is one of the authentic ways, this method has been obsolete for many years.
     There are various other experimental applicators, but these are mostly for show and do not actually add anything new to the therapy. So, it is a waste of money, if you pay more just for that.
     The machine that uses less hardware, without sacrificing any of the output quality, makes it possible for more people to enjoy the benefits, because this makes the same therapy less expensive. This is not very easily done. Although we have finally achieved this with our Model A, it has taken decades to develop and test, and the machine has had to go through many different embodiments at great cost. We are satisfied now, that our new Model A can do everything our Model B can do therapeutically.
     Another technical issue has to do with analog versus digital. Digital accuracy is certainly greater than is possible with analog, but it is the wrong sort of accuracy. The minor variations that are characteristic of an analog device, must be simulated digitally, using still more complex hardware, in order for it to approximate analog. Of course, Rife never used anything digital, and the frequency tuning of most digital machines leaves a great deal to be desired. Unless a digital machine employs very complex programs, there are many frequencies that it will simply never be able to achieve properly, because it is effectively impossible to digitally simulate the perfectly smooth gradients of tuning that are inherent to an analog device of far less complexity.
     In other words, if an analog device can split a single hertz into billionths, simply by turning a dial, a single hertz simulated at that level digitally would require at least a gigabit of information. Multiply that by the ten thousand hertz that are traditionally used in the therapy, would require ten terrabytes or about six modern PCs computers, loaded to the gills, to equal it digitally. Not impossible, but still a lot more than is feasible or affordable with the present state of digital programming technology. Again, this is easily achieved in analog by means of a series of simple potentiometers, albeit not cheap ones.
