About a century ago, Royal Raymond Rife developed special microscopes and claimed he could visualize living microorganisms, including viruses too small to be seen with any other existing technology, via the color of auras emitted as they vibrated. In 1961, he explained this as follows: “A special risley prism which works on a counter rotation principle selects a portion of the light frequency which illuminates these viruses in their own characteristic chemical colors by emission of coordinative light frequency and the viruses become readily identifiable by the colors revealed on observation.”. The principles and alleged function of these microscopes have never been validated, and they have never been adopted for use.
Rife went on to postulate that the microorganisms he was seeing were involved in human diseases, including cancer . He also invented a machine that he claimed could transmit radio frequency energy into a person and vibrate these microorganisms at a “mortal oscillatory rate”, thereby killing them and improving the disease they were causing. The concept that diseases can be cured by radio frequency energy, originally proposed by Albert Abrams and referred to as ‘radionics’, was later investigated and disproven. Nonetheless, there remain enthusiasts who believe in Rife’s work, claim it was suppressed as part of an elaborate conspiracy. and continue to sell energy-transmitting devices and cures.
Rife machines (also called a Rife frequency generator.) produce low electromagnetic energy waves. These waves are similar to radio waves. Supporters of the treatment claim that the Rife machine can treat different conditions including cancer. There is no reliable evidence that the Rife machine works as a cure for cancer.
The Rife machine produces low-energy waves, also called radiofrequency electromagnetic fields. They have low energy compared to x-rays or radiotherapy.
Here is what proponents of the Rife therapy say:
… Although no official health claims are made for Rife therapy, testimonials from many countries point to its efficacy in the support of the body in maintaining or regaining good, natural health. A good Rife machine normally contains all of the original Royal Rife frequencies plus others that have been researched and utilised over the years.
WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE?
In most Rife sessions the client is seated. They have their feet on footplate electrodes and in their lap they hold in their hands plasma tubes. Thus they get the frequencies in normal form through the feet and in radio wave form through their hands. There are variations on this but this is the basic set up.
Some practitioners will occasionally employ something called a Beam Ray Tube. This is essentially a large plasma tube on a stand that plugs into the machine. The client just sits in front of it, about 3 feet away, while the frequencies are generated. In this instance the client does not have to hold anything or have their feet on footplates.
HOW LONG DO SESSIONS LAST?
The length of a session varies, depending on what is being addressed. Any session would be a minimum of 30 minutes but in serious or chronic conditions can last over 2 hours, occasionally more. However, clients can take breaks during the therapy.
HOW FREQUENT ARE TREATMENTS?
Once a week or once a fortnight is a common pattern of treatments. But in the case of more frequent sessions a minimum of 48 hours should be left between therapy. The duration of treatments varies on the condition being addressed. Sometimes it’s just a few visits…for conditions like Lyme Disease the treatments are ongoing for well over a year. The practitioner will answer your specific questions on this.
There are also frequencies to support regeneration and boost functions such as the immune system, the adrenals and several others.
ARE THERE ANY CONTRAINDICATIONS?
Rife therapy is not suitable for people with pacemakers or similar devices. It should not be given to children under 4 years of age. If a client is undergoing radiotherapy or frequency therapy for kidney stones etc there should should be no Rife sessions administered during these periods.
The day after some sessions a client may occasionally get a Herxheimer’s reaction. This is a feeling of tiredness, almost as if one is about to go down with flu. It was named after Dr Herxheimer who, along with one other doctor, discovered that when the liver and kidneys etc get overworked in disposing of waste products, this phenomena happens. The answer is just to drink lots of fluid to help the body dispose of the cells or toxins that have been eliminated by the Rife session. The day after that, the client is back to normal and usually feeling better than before the session.
I think that such promotional texts could and should be much shorter, more truthful, and hugely more informative, e.g.:
Rife therapy is not biologically plausible, has never been shown to be effective for any condition, might have adverse effects, and is not cheap. Therefore, we have a responsibility to warn consumers and patients not to use it.

Allow me to shorten it even further:
“Rife therapy is an ineffective pseudoscientific scam.”
There is no evidence whatsoever that low-power RF-frequency signals do anything inside the body, except perhaps heat up tissues by a minute fraction of a degree.
And oh:
It is physically impossible that viruses show up in visible light in any way because they are significantly smaller (usually between 20 – 100 nm) than the wavelength of visible light (400 – 700 nm).
It would be amusing if this Rife radiation could be developed into a practical communication system. How would the conspiracy theorists cope with a system that ( doesn’t ) cure illness as opposed to one like 5g which ( doesn’t ) cause them?
I will take Rife over this every day:

Had good results with Rife for athlete’s foot. Rife is only as good as the frequencies that are found that are appropriate for the condition being treated.
why am I not surprised?
And what is the mortal oscillatory rate for dermatophyte fungi?
I have no idea what the frequencies were. It wasnt my equipment. And it was using the frequency generator to power a fluorescent tube, not electrodes that I held. EE you should be surprised. You never investigate anything personally. Always taking some third party’s word for it as long as they are unfavorable.
It was very inexpensive and only took a couple treatments with no adverse effects.
“EE you should be surprised. You never investigate anything personally. Always taking some third party’s word for it as long as they are unfavorable.”
you are mistaken!
“You never investigate anything personally”.
Oh dear, this to the world’s foremost investigator of such modalities!

Too bad it didn’t do anything for fool’s brain.
This sentence could also appear in a SciFi B-movie. It is technobabble at its worst.
Is that not how a tricorder works?
That quote from ALSUntangled No. 23: The Rife Machine and retroviruses appears to be a (rather inept) description of a Risley counter-rotating prism pair, which is using dispersive prisms, rather than refractive prisms as used in such fields as ophthalmology.
A Risley prism pair shifts a beam of light around its optical axis. When using dispersive prisms with a broad-spectrum beam of light, the prisms are rotated to select a desired narrow spectrum of light from the broad spectrum.
Here’s a better description from Reference 3.:
To reiterate what has already been said regarding viruses and microscopes:
