Did Rife use radio or audio frequencies for his work?

[Rob Judd]

Rife teamed up with John Crane in the 1950's onwards. Crane produced machines and frequency lists that show audio frequencies. Although Rife was less active in this work, there is circumstantial evidence that indicates that he knew audio frequencies were being used and he did not apparently make any objection. On that basis it's reasonable to assume that even if Rife did not specifically endorse audio frequencies he did not object to their use either.

According to the article in Popular Science Monthly 1931 by H. H. Dunn:

"Rife has devised a magnetic compass so delicate that it can be used to study the electricity and magnetism in living germs. He suggest that if the electrical make-up of certain dangerous germs is learned, it may some day be possible to destroy them in the human body by applying small doses of electricity. In no way, however, Rife makes clear, does this idea uphold the claims of medical fakers that they can cure disease by applying electrical “vibrations” to the body of a patient." (italics added for emphasis)

This would seem to indicate that, at least in the early days, Rife disagreed with the use of either:

(i) Audio frequencies, and/or
(ii) Direct application of electrical signals

His apathy about upholding this viewpoint after 1950 is understandable, since by then he had more than likely given up on his life's work due to government raids and lack of research equipment.
