In 2009 Aubrey Scoon passed away from a heart attack. His web site remained up on the web until the domain name expired. Since his web site is no long available and is an important part of this chapter and this report we have included all of the information pertaining to this machine from his original website on this web site. To fully understand this chapter we suggest that you read Aubrey's information about his Beam Ray replica instrument. Below is the link which will take you to Aubrey's original evaluation of this important instrument.

Aubrey Scoon's Original Beam Ray Instrument

Aubrey Scoon’s 1940’s Beam Ray Clinical replica Rife Machine was originally mistaken for a genuine 1938-1939 Beam Ray instrument built by Philip Hoyland and the Beam Ray Corporation. We now know that it was not an original Beam Ray instrument but is an exact replica of it. It was originally for sale on www.rife.org. John Bedini and a group of men who had worked with John Crane for a year and a half considered purchasing it. After careful examination they found that this instrument was not an original Beam Ray instrument built by the original Company but in fact was built in the early 1940’s (about 1942) by Verne Thompson. Verne Thompson eventually replaced Philip Hoyland as Dr. Rife’s new engineer.

The reason we are re-evaluating Aubrey Scoon's Beam Ray Clinical replica instrument is this instrument is the second most important instrument that we have analyzed. When it was first analyzed by Aubrey Scoon's team they did not take their original evaluation of this instrument far enough. Had they used a spectrum analyzer there is a possibility that they may have figured out how this instrument really worked, but they did not. Once we determined how the "Original Beam Ray Clinical" instrument worked we were able to re-evaluate Aubrey Scoon's Beam Ray replica and show that it worked on the same principles and frequencies as the original Beam Ray Rife Machine. All of Dr. Rife's instruments, from the first to the last, worked on the same principles and the same frequencies, or harmonics of the original frequencies. The method of generating the frequencies may have changed but all the frequencies used in Dr. Rife's machines were based on the original frequencies he found that would eliminate, deactivate or devitalize those organisms.

For a better understanding of this Rife Machine we need to give the history of it. Aubrey Scoon and a group of men from England purchased the above instrument believing it was an original Beam Ray Clinical instrument. The original Beam Ray Clinical instrument was known to be working on harmonics. Without really knowing it, they purchased a replica of the Beam Ray Clinical instrument! At that time no original instrument had been located. Because of this and the fact that we had no absolute concrete evidence that Philip Hoyland built this style of audio frequency instrument it was not accepted as a genuine Rife instrument. Not even the 1950's AZ-58 Beam Ray Clinical replica was accepted as a genuine instrument either.

A few years ago, before Aubrey passed away, I was communicating with him about this instrument. In the course of our communications he told me that he had used the wrong main output tube in the instrument when they worked on it. Because they had used the wrong vacuum tube the carrier frequency had parasitic oscillations which created harmonics. He said that when they discovered this mistake they put the proper tube (809) in and most of harmonics from the parasitic oscillations were gone.  Aubrey Scoon mentions the change of this tube (809) on his web site but they did not change the photos of the waveforms. All of the photos of the waveforms on his web site are of an instrument that has parasitic oscillations. Using the wrong tube was a simple mistake that anyone could make but it led to a great deal of confusion causing many to believe, including myself, that this instrument was an original Beam Ray Clinical instrument.

Both Jim Berger and I separately built Aubrey Scoon’s instrument with the correct tubes and found using an oscilloscope that the RF output was clean of the harmonics from the malfunctioning circuit. This confirmed to us what Aubrey had said about using the proper tube. It also showed that it didn't have the reported harmonics which the genuine Beam Ray Clinical instrument was supposed to have. Little did we know, at that time, that the harmonic concept we were looking for was there but we didn’t really understand how the instrument was supposed to work. This wrongly convinced both Jim Berger and myself that Aubrey Scoon's instrument was not a genuine Beam Ray instrument. Nevertheless, this mistake does not change the fact that we now know that this instrument is a Beam Ray Clinical instrument replica.

The original Beam Rays Clinical instrument that we obtained did not have any frequency list that came with it showing what frequency band or dial settings should be used for the various microorganisms. However Aubrey Scoon’s Beam Ray replica instrument built by Verne Thompson came with a list of frequencies which the doctor used on the various organisms.

We know from the previous documents that we have read in this report that Dr. Rife had Verne Thompson rebuilding and repairing these instruments. We also read that Dr. Rife had Verne Thompson rebuilt Dr. Yale’s machine in 1940. Because Verne Thompson became Dr. Rife's engineer he would periodically repaired Dr. Couche's and Dr. Tulley’s machines. We also know that Verne Thompson was making copies of Dr. Couche's Beam Ray Clinical instrument for other doctors. With this understanding we know that Verne Thompson was the one who would have written down these audio frequencies that were used in Aubrey Scoon's Beam Ray Clinical instrument. Also with this understanding we know that the same audio frequencies used in Aubrey Scoon's Beam Ray Clinical instrument were used in Dr. Couche's Beam Ray Clinical instrument. This information is very important. The importance of this information will become very clear as we continue to look at this instrument and the 1950's AZ-58 Beam Ray Clinical Replica instrument.

Since this paper was updated on 9/20/2010 we decided to test a 3.3 MHz carrier frequency believing that it could have been the correct carrier frequency. When Aubrey Scoon tested the instrument, he listed 3.33 MHz as the RF carrier frequency on his website. Knowing how parasitic oscillations in a carrier frequency could easily have shifted the carrier frequency 30,000 Hertz, it was thought that a 3.3 MHz carrier frequency would have been a more logical frequency to use. This assumption proved to be correct. In the summer of 2011 we obtained more of John Marsh’s documents from his nurse. In one of these documents dated November 20, 1967 John Marsh stated the following:

MARSH: “John Crane’s, a simple oscillator, which can be obtained easily for about $33.00. It produces a fuzzy band. He experimented with hooking up wires with an ordinary radio speaker and produced a different musical note for each frequency. The large instrument [Beam Ray Clinical replica instrument] is a RF frequency generator which carriers wave oscillations at 3300 kilocycles (3.3 Megahertz) on the marine band. Pre-auditory sound waves.” (John Marsh 1967 document about Dr. Robert P. Stafford).

This letter of John Marsh’s confirms that the RF carrier frequency in Dr. Couche's original Beam Ray Clinical instrument, which Dr. Rife, John Crane and John Marsh made a replica of in the 1950's, was set at 3.3 MHz.

As mentioned before, Aubrey Scoon's instrument had four bands. These four bands were mentioned by Philip Hoyland in the Beam Ray Trial. He stated that they covered all the frequencies for the various organisms this instrument treated. The frequency range of each of the four bands is as follows:

Band 1: 20 Hertz to 200 Hertz.

Band 2: 200 Hertz to 2000 Hertz.

Band 3: 2000 Hertz to 20,000 Hertz.

Band 4: 20,000 Hertz to 200,000 Hertz.

Our original Beam Ray Clinical instrument, along with Aubrey Scoon’s Beam Ray replica instrument, predates John Crane and John Marsh and this reveals that the audio frequencies came from Philip Hoyland. This Aubrey Scoon Beam Ray replica instrument also shows a connection to the original Beam Ray Clinical Rife Machine and the audio frequencies that were used in the 1950’s AZ-58. The 1950’s AZ-58 Beam Ray replica instrument used almost the same frequencies as Aubrey Scoon’s instrument except Rife, Crane and Marsh divided them down by a factor of 10 and used these lower audio frequencies. We will discuss this later when we look at the AZ-58. Below is a chart that has the audio sideband frequencies that were used in Aubrey Scoon's Beam Ray Clinical replica instrument. We will reconcile these frequencies to Dr. Rife's original high RF frequencies that were used in the Rife Ray #3 and Rife Ray #4 Rife Machines in this section of this report. Before we do this we need to compare Aubrey Scoon's Beam Ray Clinical replica to the original Beam Ray Clinical Rife Machine.

Below is the chart listing Aubrey Scoon’s Beam Ray replica sine wave audio frequencies used in this early 1940’s instrument with a 3.3 MHz carrier frequency. Testing the 3.3 MHz carrier frequency shows that this was the correct carrier frequency for this instrument because using it in combination with the audio frequencies produced the correct sideband frequencies that hit the Rife Ray #4 harmonic frequencies.

What we need to point out here is this IMPORTANT fact that came from the analyzing of the original Beam Ray Clinical instrument. This fact also applies to Aubrey Scoon's Beam Ray replica instrument. Neither the 3.3 megahertz carrier frequency nor the audio frequencies will do anything by themselves. But when the 3.3 megahertz harmonic carrier frequency and the audio frequencies are combined together they will produce many sideband frequencies. And one of these sideband frequencies will line up with the true Rife M.O.R frequency and devitalize or render harmless the harmful microorganism. To re-emphasize this so that no one misunderstands. If you just use the audio frequencies by themselves you will get nothing. If you use the 3.3 megahertz carrier without the audio frequencies you will get nothing. The audio frequencies used in this instrument must have the RF carrier frequency of 3.3 megahertz or they are useless. This is the reason the 1950’s Beam Ray Clinical instrument called the AZ-58 did not work properly.

The two photos below show Aubrey Scoon's RF section. The electronic components are almost identical to our original Beam Ray Clinical instrument. It used the same 866 rectifier tubes (two used) along with the same 809 vacuum tube (one used).

Like the original Beam Ray Clinical instrument which used a Hewlett-Packard audio oscillator, Aubrey Scoon's Beam Ray replica instrument also used a Hewlett-Packard audio oscillator. In the next two photos, shown below, is Aubrey Scoon's Beam Ray Rife Machine audio oscillator.

In 1938 when Beam Ray Corporation built this style of instrument the Hewlett-Packard Wein Bridge audio oscillator was not invented yet. Since this newer Hewlett-Packard audio oscillator patent was not filed until July of 1939 and the Beam Ray Corporation was at this time in a court battle it is only logical that the original Beam Ray instrument did not use Hewlett-Packard's new design. It was invented in early 1939 and a patent was filed July 11, 1939. The patent was granted on Jan 6, 1942. In 1938 the original Beam Ray Clinical instrument would have had an RC (resistor capacitor) style of audio oscillator. These RC audio oscillators were known to be very unstable and it was replaced in the original Beam Ray instrument that we have. Aubrey Scoon’s instrument would have been built with the newer Hewlett-Packard audio oscillator when it was built in the early 1940’s.

Other than a few component changes Aubrey Scoon's instrument is almost identical to the original Beam Ray Clinical instrument. With this knowledge we know that this is a faithful reproduction of Philip Hoyland's Beam Ray Clinical instrument. Like the original Beam Ray Clinical instrument Aubrey Scoon’s Beam Ray Clinical replica instrument used the sine wave waveform for both the RF carrier frequency and the low audio frequencies. The original machines waveform is shown in the below photo on the left. The second photo, below on the right, shows Aubrey Scoon's instrument's modulated waveform. It is distorted because of the parasidic oscillations that need to be fixed. Nevertheless these two waveforms are similar. The replica that we built of Aubrey Scoon’s instrument does not have any parasidic oscillations and its waveform looks like the original Beam Ray Clinical instrument waveform shown in the first photo below. Aubrey Scoon's photo with the parasitic oscillations is the second photo below.

The most important information that came with Aubrey Scoon’s instrument was the audio frequency list. The original Beam Ray Clinical instrument frequency list was lost to time.  However, Aubrey Scoon’s frequency list was not lost so we can use it and reconcile its audio frequencies to Dr. Rife's original high RF frequencies using the sideband method that was used in this style of instrument.

Since we know that Philip Hoyland tested this Clinical instrument in the laboratory he would have calculated the exact audio frequencies to hit the M.O.R.s. The Rife ray #4 frequencies could be one quarter of one percent off because this is the best they could do when reading a frequency back in the mid 1930s. The Rife Ray #4 frequencies were almost all rounded to the nearest thousandth. But testing in the laboratory with microorganisms would allow Philip Hoyland to get the most accurate frequency for each organism using the audio frequencies to produce the correct sidebands.

In order to determine if the audio frequencies could produce the correct M.O.R. frequencies when used with the 3.30 MHz carrier frequency the math had to be done in reverse order. Using the audio frequencies to determine the most accurate M.O.R.s through the sideband frequencies was the only way to figure out what the frequencies were for each organism listed. If these harmonic frequencies, when divided down, were within one quarter of one percent of the Rife Rays #4 original M.O.R.s then we knew that the 3.30 MHz carrier frequency was the correct carrier frequency. This would also prove that the sideband method was the method of producing the M.O.R.s in the Beam Ray Clinical instrument. Doing this would also show that two instruments worked this way. Aubrey Scoon’s Beam Ray Clinical instrument with its audio frequencies would firmly prove the method. Aubrey Scoon’s instrument would also prove that Philip Hoyland used at least two different fixed RF carrier frequencies in the instruments in order to help keep anyone from figuring out the secrets of the instruments. If the carrier frequency is different then the audio frequencies will also be different.

Below is a comparison chart of Aubrey Scoon’s Beam Ray Clinical replica instrument. If you want a higher resolution copy of this chart click here. In the “Rife Ray #4 Frequencies In Hertz” column are the correct M.O.R.s found by Dr. Rife. In the “Aubrey Scoon’s Sideband Audio Frequencies In Hertz” column are the audio frequencies used to create the correct sideband frequencies to hit the harmonic Rife Ray #4 frequencies. In the “Rife Ray #4 Frequencies Based on Scoon’s Audio Frequencies” column we see the M.O.R. frequencies that these audio frequencies produce. You will notice in the “Rife Ray #4 Frequencies In Hertz” column that the frequency for Actinomycosis or Streptothrix is 192,000 Hertz and in the “Rife Ray #4 Frequencies Based on Scoon’s Audio Frequencies” column is the frequency of 191,803 Hertz. There is only a 197 Hertz difference between these frequencies. If you compare both of these columns you will notice how closely these frequencies match up. All the frequencies which are in the column “Rife Ray #4 Frequencies Based On Scoon’s Audio Frequencies” are less than one quarter of one percent off of the “Rife Ray #4 Frequencies In Hertz.”

We will now give a simple description of how we reconciled these audio frequencies to Dr. Rife’s original high RF frequencies which were used in the Rife Ray #3 and Rife Ray #4 Rife Machines. The Rife Ray #4 paperwork gives us the Streptothrix frequency of 192,000 Hertz. Since we know that Philip Hoyland used the higher harmonic frequency closest to the carrier frequency in these instruments what we have to do is multiply 192,000 Hertz by 17 to get the closest frequency to the 3,300,000 Hertz. The 192,000 Hertz multiplied by 17 give us a frequency of 3,264,000 Hertz. The difference between these two frequencies is only 36,000 Hertz. This math gives us the method that Philip Hoyland used. Now Hoyland used an audio frequency of 7,870 Hertz as the frequency to produce the proper sideband spacing in Aubrey Scoon’s instrument. If we multiply 7,870 Hertz times 5 we get the frequency of 39,350 Hertz which is the closest frequency to 36,000 Hertz. If we take 3,300,000 Hertz and minus 39,350 Hertz we get 3,260,650 Hertz which would be the higher harmonic frequency which was used by Philip Hoyland on Streptothrix. Now if we divide 3,360,650 Hertz by 17 we get the true frequency of 191,803 Hertz used by Dr. Rife on Streptothrix. Aubrey Scoon’s sideband audio frequencies now give us the most accurate frequencies for the organisms since they are not rounded to the nearest thousandth. Those frequencies are found in the above chart with the column labeled “Rife Ray #4 Frequencies Based on Scoon’s Audio Frequencies”. The math we did for the above chart shows that Aubrey Scoon’s Beam Ray Clinical Replica instrument works on the harmonic sideband method to produce the M.O.R.s.

To further make this sideband method easier to understand we have made 5 charts, shown below, that clearly show how the audio frequencies used with this Beam Ray Clinical instrument in combination with the 3.3 MHz carrier frequency produced Dr. Rife's frequencies.

It wasn't until we were able to get the original Beam Ray Clinical instrument and figure out how it worked did we have the ability to determine how this Aubrey Scoon instrument really worked. Once we understood how these instruments really worked we could finally figure out the M.O.R. frequencies for Sarcoma, Pneumonia and Tuberculosis. This is because some other documents that we have gave a second reference point to work with to help us determine the correct frequency. Worms (hookworms) however, did not have a second reference point so the only way to produce the M.O.R. frequency for worms is through the sideband method using the audio frequency of 2,400 Hertz in combined with the 3.3 MHz carrier frequency.

Even though we have shown the 5 charts above we have also included, below, the spectrum analyzer graphs showing the sideband frequencies for each organism using Aubrey Scoon’s Beam Ray replica instrument audio frequencies with his 3.3 MHz carrier. These spectrum analyzer graphs also include Anthrax and Gonorrhea which was not included with Aubrey Scoon's audio frequency list.

When Philip Hoyland developed this new type of Beam Ray Clinical instrument he did not use Dr. Rife’s primary original M.O.R. frequencies. He used harmonic frequencies based on Dr. Rife’s primary M.O.R. frequencies. Philip Hoyland, while working in Dr. Rife’s lab on the Beam Ray Clinical instrument apparently discovered that EVERY higher harmonic of Dr. Rife’s original frequencies could be used as an M.O.R. frequency. Dr. Rife said that he believed that many of his frequencies were sub-harmonics of a true higher frequency. But, he probably did not know that all his frequencies were sub-harmonics of higher frequencies.  

With the understanding and knowledge that every harmonic of Dr. Rife's frequencies could be used as an M.O.R. Philip Hoyland built the Beam Ray Clinical instruments and used these higher harmonic frequencies in these machines. In the next three charts, shown below, you will see Dr. Rife’s primary frequencies and the many harmonic frequencies that can be used. The first frequency listed under each organism is Dr. Rife’s primary frequency for that organism. The frequencies with the single asterisk* were used as the primary frequencies in Aubrey Scoon's Beam Ray Clinical instrument that used the 3.3 megahertz fixed carrier frequency. The frequencies with the double asterisk** were used as the primary frequencies in the Original Beam Ray Clinical instrument which used a 3.8 megahertz fixed carrier frequency. Some of the same frequencies were used in both machines and those have both the single and double asterisks.

Because of the discoveries of Dr. Rife and Philip Hoyland's use of harmonic frequencies we know that every frequency shown in these three charts, up to the 20th harmonic, could be used as a primary frequency M.O.R. for these organisms. Those who have a frequency generator that can output these frequencies may want to use these frequencies. Please keep in mind that Philip Hoyland used the frequencies as high as the 20th harmonic, on some organisms, in his Beam Ray Clinical instruments. Therefore it is reasonable to assume that harmonics higher than this could be used. How high the harmonics can be used is not known.

The next photos, shown below, are of the Aubrey Scoon instrument that we built. The audio amplifier is on the PC board and made it so we can use a modern audio oscillator to input the audio frequencies into the instrument.

Below is the schematic of this 1940's instrument. If you want a higher resolution copy of this schematic click here. The 866 vacuum tubes have been replaced with solid state rectifiers. Also the old vacuum tube audio oscillator was not included in the case. It is easier and more accurate to use Aubrey Scoon’s booster amplifier and a modern function generator to produce the audio frequencies that were used in this instrument. The layout of the electronic parts of this instrument is also very important because of the inherent interference problems that come with RF oscillators. Again anyone wishing to build this instrument should have a good understanding of old tube technology. Some parts of this circuit use up to 2000 volts DC with substantial current and can easily kill anyone who is not familiar with this kind of current or voltage. We take no responsibility for anyone who builds this instrument. We recommend that you have professional help.
