I have not seen a lot of corroborating information about Rife in particular and Bioelectric medicine in general, but it seems fascinating, and some of the basic ideas seem plausible, so I gathered a few links here. Some of this info seems pretty outrageous, but I would love to see some high-quality scientific studies. My bet is that at least some of it will prove correct. But my big question concerning electricity is: how do you distinguish between beneficial and harmful effects?
"The purpose of this page is to disclose some preliminary findings which seem to corroborate specific biophysical reactions to externally applied Electric, Magnetic,and RF/Plasma fields, in which specific biologic specimens are shown to be devitalized by specific signals, applied by various modes (E-Field, B-Field, RF)."
Electroporation:-
Electroporation is a phenomena by which cells when exposed to an intense electrical field that is quickly pulsed will open pores on the surface of the cell wall. These pores can be reversable or may become permanent, resulting in a weakening of the cell wall. The cells will often die or break apart from the effects of electroporation.
Frequency ranges for various purposes:-
Muscle stimulators which relieve pain, reduce spasms and edema, tonify weak muscles, and assist the healing process, run at from 1 to 130 Hz. TENS units are used to block pain run at about 80 to 100 Hz. Interferential Therapy units are a type of muscle stimulator run at 3000 to 4000 Hz. Bio Feedback instruments used to modify behavior and retrain the nervous and muscular systems, run from below 1Hz to about 40 Hz. Bone Growth Stimulators, used to heal broken bones run at frequencies from about 40 to 80 Hz. Deep Brain Stimulators - use implanted electrodes to impart electrical pulses from between 120 and 160 Hz directly to the brain to control involuntary muscular tremors in Parkinson's disease. Heart Pacemakers use an electrical impulse to regulate the hearts ryhthm. These are just a few of the current electrical frequency devices in use."
