My First Rife Session

Last Sunday I took some time out to try out the new device and started with a detox program that ran for about 40 minutes. I sat there all anxious and as it was running thru various frequencies. I took notes on the frequencies that I felt either a headache, sometimes itching of my wrist, knee or lower back. After reviewing the frequencies that I reacted to, it came out that two of them refer to breast cancer.

I was on one hand shocked, but on the other hand impressed with how accurate this machine could be. Another frequency that I had a reaction to is associated with toxification from heavy drugs ,which in my case would be all the chemotherapy that I was getting. During the chemotherapy my wrist and ankles, knees and lower back were hurting so bad that I had troubles getting up or carrying my weight (only 117 pounds anyway) around. The frequency 3176 was making me itch exactly on those parts that were harmed thru the chemo. I am currently doing research into getting my bone stability back because I am really afraid of getting later in life anything like arthritis or any other bone problems as a result of the chemo.

After the treatment session on Sunday was over, I woke up on Monday with a major headache and felt like I was having a flu. My sinus was clumped, my head felt like a watermelon dropped on it and my muscles were hurting. I was reacting to the session on Sunday. I have heard the term healing crisis and always was and am afraid of it. A healing crises is were you get first worse before you get better. I guess the toxins released in my body were now dead floating bacterias, paracites, fungi and other garbage that now needed to come out. I drank tons of alkaline ionized water, took some time off to relax and on Wednesday (2 days later), I already felt much better. What’s to say MUCH better. It realy makes a difference to have all that crap out of your body. I started my Yoga and stretching and with every stretch I felt energized and today on Friday I feel absolutely great. There is a little bit of a headache left and I have taken a break before doing my next Rife Session so my body has time to get rid of the toxins. I can not wait to do my next session!

Back soon.

If I Had Only Known Then…

“It’s cancer, and it’s malignant.” The commercials on the radio are right… you do not hear very much after that. I vaguely remember asking the doctor how positive she was about her results, I remember crying, and I remember my husband helping me walk back to the car, reassuring me that we would face this together. The doctor told me the next year of my life would not be the same… in truth, I don’t think I will ever be the same.

In June of 2006, I was diagnosed with a stage III malignant breast cancer, and by September it had spread to four of my lymph nodes. To make matters worse, the tumor had an aggressiveness score of 8 out of 9 on the BRS scale, and tested negative for all three of the major hormone receptors (estrogen, progesterone, and HER-2) – meaning I was dealing with an extremely aggressive cancer that was spreading fast, and at the same time my treatment options were severely limited.

Since then, I have endured 12 rounds of chemotherapy, as well as surgery. When it came time to operate, there was only one 8mm tumor left – and I had started with five of them, two of which were over 5cm in size! The pathology report from the surrounding tissue removed during the surgery came back totally “clean”. My oncologist called these results “terrific” for someone with a normal cancer. But for one so aggressive and wide-spread as mine was, he said they are simply “astounding”. And, yet, when I bring up the herbs and alternative therapies I used, he simply rolls his eyes.

Going through an experience such as this tends to turn you into an activist. In researching my disease and also my road to healing, I have found many things appallingly wrong with how cancer is researched and treated, as well as how people are educated about its prevention.

I hate to alarm you, but almost everyone’s body has tumors – it is the job of the immune system to deal with them before they turn into cancer. Various factors can interfere with the immune system’s ability to do this. We are all aware of “risk factors” such as environmental toxins, genetics, stress – these are “triggers”, but have little to do with how fast the cancer grows or spreads. That has more do with the environment we create for it within our bodies. Things that have a direct impact on our immune system, such as alkaline vs. acidic diet, alkaline water, sleep, meditation, mood, and the energy we choose to both send out and also surround ourselves with. These are little things, but from my experience very important ones. Things that (unlike, say, genetics) are very much within our own power to change.

Cancer preys on “victims” – but if one is willing to be proactive, they can not only beat back the cancer they are fighting, but also prevent it from recurring.

pH balance is a biggie. Cancers (as do most infectious, chronic, and degenerative “dis-eases”) absolutely thrive in acidic environments, and unfortunately most things we do to and put into our bodies help to create one. The food companies won’t tell you this – additives are a multi-billion-dollar industry. There are very promising studies now, both from Johns Hopkins University, and from Dr. Tullio Simoncini in Rome involving injecting highly alkaline substances such as cesium and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) into tumors, and rapidly shrinking them by upsetting their pH balance. And while it’s true that one cannot eat entirely alkaline (acid is the by-product of cellular metabolism), we can certainly take steps to make sure our diets are in balance. We can also compensate by drinking alkalized, ionized water.

Water ionizers have been used in clinics in Japan and Korea for over 30 years, but are only just now starting to make their way into the Western world. When the liver and kidneys are over-loaded (as they often are with today’s lifestyle), the body does some interesting tricks to get rid of the excess acid. It robs the bones of calcium. It robs the thyroid and other glands of iodine and interferes with their hormone production. It surrounds the acid with cholesterol and deposits it inside capillary walls. It surrounds it with body fat and stores deposits safely away from organs (in areas such as the thighs and butt). Is this all starting to sound familiar?

Then there’s vitamin B17, otherwise known as laetrile. I’m not surprised you haven’t heard of it. It is found in millet, grasses, bitter almonds, and in the highest concentrations inside of apricot seeds. Things that hardly appear in today’s modern diets. A faulty and poorly-researched FDA report in 1958 condemned laetrile for having cyanide, but failed to mention that the cyanide is bonded as part of the molecule, and not freely-available (until it contacts an enzyme found only inside of cancer cells, that is). When I mentioned this to my mother, she recalled fondly of eating the apricots with the apricot seeds on her family farm as a child.

In those days, nearly 1 in 50 had cancer – today the number is almost 1 in 3.

There are also a variety of herbs and supplements which can be used. Kaishore Guggul and Shilajit are Ayervedic remedies from Nepal that are very good in both making the chemotherapy more effective, and also in supporting the immune system through its ravages. A Native American remedy is Paw Paw, which in recent clinical studies has shown great success in preventing the formation of MDR cells (how cancers eventually become immune to chemotherapy). Curcumin (found in turmeric root, which gives Indian food its yellow color) can stop pre-cancerous cells from developing further. IP-6 shows great promise for breast and colon cancers. Citrus pectin prevents metastasis (when the cancer spreads to other places in the body), and vitamin C can slow its growth. AHCC, astralagus, and Sheng Fa will all help build the immune system back up, and maintain white and red blood cell counts. And if you’re on chemotherapy, be sure to pamper your liver with lots of milk thistle.

The tools for combating cancer need not be exotic, or expensive. And, yet, how does “modern medicine” deal with cancer? We use radiation and inject poisons into our bodies, which kill more of our immune system than they do of the cancer. An immune system which is supposed to be fighting the cancer. And we use surgery to cut out the tumors (rather than searching for their root causes); in the process damaging the body’s nerves, lymphatic system, and disrupting the energy flow of the meridians (all systems involved in helping the body detox, heal, and restore delicate balance).

No… if I had known then what I know now, my treatment plan would have been altogether different.

But my doctors didn’t exactly go out of their way to tell me, and in fact did their best to talk me out of any alternative treatment I brought up. I am not surprised. I found out that treating the average cancer patient today costs $300,000 to $400,000.

Is it any wonder there is greater interest in treating the disease, than in curing it?

The Beginning

A Peek Inside…

Posted by Cassandra on October 19th, 2007

The Rife/Bare Device

In 1934, a man named Royal Rife conducted a clinical trial at the University of Southern California, during which he successfully cured 16 out of 16 terminal cancer patients. Many of the world’s most prominent doctors gathered for a banquet in Pasadena to honor Dr. Rife, their photo appearing on the front page of the LA Times; the headline read “The End of Cancer!”

At that time, roughly 1 in 50 had cancer – today the figure is nearly 1 in 3!

Morris Fishbein, then head of the American Medical Association, offered Dr. Rife a financial partnership. Rife, familiar with Fishbein’s shady reputation, refused (in those days, a new drug’s approval was dependant upon the manufacturer’s proposed advertising budget in the AMA’s prestigious Journal).

Rife’s license and funding were immediately pulled, his laboratory raided and equipment stolen, and within two years almost every single doctor who attended the Pasadena banquet was denying even knowing him (however many were enjoying early retirements and recent property acquisitions).

Since then, various versions of the “Rife machine” have appeared. A man named John Crane helped Rife out of his financial troubles and resurrected the research. He was an opportunist, however, whose primary goal was mass-production of the Rife device. This was hard to accomplish, since operating the typical Rife device required a fairly extensive medical background plus some knowledge of radio frequencies (not to mention the device filled an entire room). Crane made the device smaller, substituted the ray tube for some hand-held metal rods, reduced the frequencies so they fit within the audio spectrum, and proceeded to bury all the research which suggested that the new devices were ineffective against cancer (they do, however, exhibit mild detoxing effects which may improve immunology-related issues ranging from infections to arthritis, as well as stimulate the skin and tissue) . Unfortunately, many of the devices currently available on the Internet are based upon Crane’s design, not Rife’s.

In the early 1990′s, a chiropractor (and HAM radio enthusiast) named James Bare began experimenting with re-introducing ray tubes and radio transmitters back into the Rife device. This new breed of devices became known as Rife/Bare. Today, Dr. Bare’s device has already been approved for clinical use in Canada, Mexico, and New Zealand. More and more research is coming out every day supporting the effectiveness of the device.

I am pleased to report that I am in direct contact with Dr. Bare, and that he has agreed to supply parts and assist with the building of a customized Rife/Bare device for our research.

The Dark Field Microscope

The Rife/Bare device works by emitting high-frequency plasma waves, which shatter microbes and pathogens inside the body in much the same way that an opera singer can break a glass. This technique has been proven effective against many different diseases, bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites that invade our bodies. But there is a danger – too many dead pathogens floating in the bloodstream can also toxify the body. This is why many people who use a Rife machine feel worse after treatment instead of better. It is therefore essential to monitor how fast the body is able to remove toxins from the blood, and adjust the patient’s exposure to the Rife frequencies accordingly.

A dark field microscope allows you to see blood cells while they are still alive. It also shows you if they are spread out as they’re supposed to be, or clustering together (a sign of poor nutrition or other imbalance within the body, and therefore reduced detoxing ability).

Various microbes and parasites can also be seen in the blood in this manner, as can heavy metals. A dark field microscope is an indispensable tool to monitor, measure, and adjust the effect of Rife therapies.

Blood Zapper

Blood zappers were initially developed by Dr. Robert C. Beck, and later made popular by Dr. Hulda Clark in her book “A Cure for All Diseases”. Small golden electrodes worn over the veins administer very subtle electric shocks into the bloodstream. This small and inexpensive device is useful if a dark field examination of the patient’s blood finds too much clustering of the cells and thus reduced detoxing ability.

A blood zapper can also easily be repurposed to be a colloidal silver generator – and colloidal silver is one of the most potent anti-infection and anti-bacterials ever discovered in medical history (it was in wide use prior to anti-biotics, and due to their controversy is enjoying a healthy renaissance today).

Water Ionizer

One question that has always puzzled cancer researchers is why two people, both exposed to the same risk factors, don’t develop the same cancers. A critical key could be the pH level in the body, or in other words the acidic vs. alkaline balance. Cancer (as with most infections) absolutely thrives in an acidic environment, and cancer cells themselves have been found to be more acidic than surrounding tissue. Recent experiments by Dr. Tullio Simoncini with sodium bicarbonate, as well as those at Johns Hopkins University with cesium (both are bases), are showing promising results in retarding, sometimes even reversing cancerous growths.

A sad fact is that most of the foods we eat leave an acidic footprint in our bodies – this is a natural by product of cellular metabolism (though of course junk food and refined sugar do not help matters). Drinking alkalized, ionized water can help bring the body back into balance. The Hopi Indians of North America as well as the Hunza peoples of the Himalayas and northern Pakistan have both shown incredibly low cancer rates and much longer than average lifespans. In both cases, the diet and the water were found to be the critical factors.

Water ionizers have been used in clinics in Japan and Korea for over 30 years, but are only just now starting to make their way into the Western world. When the liver and kidneys are over-loaded (as they often are with today’s lifestyle), the body does some interesting tricks to get rid of the excess acid. It robs the bones of calcium. It robs the thyroid and other glands of iodine and interferes with their hormone production. It surrounds the acid with cholesterol and deposits it inside capillary walls. It surrounds it with body fat and stores deposits safely away from organs (in areas such as the thighs and butt). Is this all starting to sound familiar? In fact, it is now thought by many doctors and researchers that the root of just about every disease can be traced either to a microbe infection or a pH imbalance (and most often both).

A water ionizer used in conjunction with a Rife/Bare device can detox the body of most every known pathogen, leaving the body free to do what it does best in nature – healing itself and re-establishing balance. To illustrate just how dramatic this effect really is, please meet my friend Dave Perkins. In 1999 he was diagnosed with nonhodgkins tcell lymphoma, and the medical establishment gave up on him and labeled him “terminal” (the photo on the left). The photo on the right is Dave today – and he attributes his recovery entirely to using a Rife/Bare device in conjunction with a water ionizer. And even without the use of a Rife machine, drinking alkalized, ionized water can literally change your life. For example, our cat has acute renal failure, with both kidneys operating at below 25%. The vet gave him 1-2 weeks to live back in December of 2006, saying she doubted he would last even a month. He’s still here, and it’s hard to dismiss anything as placebo with an animal.

The water produced by an ionizer is very similar to the water of the Himalayas, and is the closest thing we know to a “fountain of youth”. This is for several reasons. First of which is that the higher pH balances against acidic build-up and residue within the body. Next, the presence of negative hydrogen ions frees up bonds to the negative oxygen ions in the water molecules. This has the effect of oxygenating the cells as well as releasing energy. Normally the hydrogen is positively charged and bonds to the negative oxygen ions creating what we call surface tension. The ionizer releases the ions, creating microclusters – or quite literally “wetter” water, which can more easily be absorbed by the body’s tissues. So you are hydrating, oxygenating, alkalizing, energizing, and detoxing the body all at once. Is it any wonder the effects are so extreme? If you’d like to learn more, please click the banner below:

Magnetic Pulser

The final device that has grabbed my attention after all my research in restoring and maintaining health is the magnetic pulser. Like the Rife/Bare device, the magnetic pulser is now considered a Class II medical device in Canada. What is interesting is that several research studies have been done around the world in an attempt to measure that elusive “energy” that is generated by a healers’ hands. One famous experiment had the healer “charge” a vial of water that was later poured into a plant’s soil – the treated plants grew more than twice as high as control plants watered with normal untreated water. Upon further examination, it was found that healer’s hands emit slight pulses of magnetic energy, and this energy in turn stimulates enzymes inside the body responsible for cell regeneration. While a Rife/Bare device is able to provide pulsed audio, radio, magnetic, and plasma waves to the entire body, a magnetic pulser allows one to focus the energies into a specific area.
