Did Dr. Rife use audio
frequencies in his Rife Machines?

In Dr. Rife’s 1961 deposition he revealed the fact that he was using some form of audio modulation from the beginning of his work with frequency instruments:

RIFE: “Initially I worked with loose couplers to get an audio oscillation and then with the use of transmitters, I tried to balance the audio and modulate the audio on a carrier wave to transmit the audio energy.” (Dr. Rife’s 1961 Deposition, answers page 5)

Dr. Rife stated that at the beginning of his work, back in the days when loose couplers were used in generating frequencies, he was using audio modulation with an RF or radio frequency carrier. Above are two photos of loose couplers courtesy of "Henry Rogers, Western Historic Radio Museum" (www.radioblvd.com). These loose couplers worked by moving one coil inside the other in order to change the frequencies.

In Dr. Rife’s high frequency Rife Machine he used a specific audio circuit which gated or pulsed his frequencies. This circuit modulated a fixed audio frequency with all his high frequencies which he used on the various organisms. This circuit will be discussed later when we discuss these Rife Machines.

It is apparent that Dr. Rife first tested audio frequencies on organisms in his search for the frequency which would devitalize them. The audio range would be the logical place to start. If he couldn’t find a frequency in the audio range, he then moved up into higher frequency ranges until he found a frequency that would devitalize an organism. In Dr. Rife’s early lab notes, he listed only two organisms that had an audio frequency M.O.R. Later when Dr. Rife found out that he was reading his frequencies incorrectly, one of those audio frequencies was changed to a much higher RF frequency. There are other statements made by Dr. Rife which show that he tested the audio range. In fact Dr. Rife gave the full range of his frequencies:

RIFE: “Some of them are in the visible band, or I mean not only the visible band but, uh, band of frequencies audible [audio] to the human ear. Some of them are way beyond either way. They run through a very, very large gamut. Some of them are very, very broad, long. Some of them are...not extremely short. There are none of them what we call our ultra short wave that I have found yet. Well there’s many of them...we would, uh, classify in the ultrasonic band because they’re not visible [sic] with the human ear. They’re way beyond you know. And some of them are even in the broadcast band. Your cancer is very high [1,604,000 hertz]. You can’t hear it, the oscillation. But now you take your T.B. [Tuberculosis Rod 369,000 hertz & Virus 769,000 hertz]. Now that’s down. A little more you see...if you don’t have an absolute coordinative resonance, you have nothing. One tenth of one meter off and you have nothing. Its got to be absolutely correct for that individual organism. It’s got to be precise...the virus of cancer has a certain frequency. And it has to be there, otherwise if it’s a little one way or the other, no good, no good for nothing. Infrared will penetrate, yes, but the heat is not the thing because the heat is not the frequency, it’s [Infrared] way down in the very low band of frequencies and the laboratory rate of the BX is up into the high band.” (John Marsh Rife CDs - CD 5 track 2, CD 6 track 2, CD 7 track 1 and CD 9 track 1)

In these statements Dr. Rife clearly explains the broad range of his frequencies. Some were audio and could be heard by the human ear; others were in the ultrasonic range, and some were even in the broadcast band. Cancer he said was very high. He states the frequencies have to be very accurate to work. One tenth of one meter off and they would not work at all. We will talk about this later. Here are two additional statements that also verify that Dr. Rife’s Machine's could output a modulated audio frequency:

RIFE: “You know we had an idea when we had our [1934] Clinic in La Jolla, of course that was battery and motor generator operated that set, you know, and boy it would sure raise the devil with all the radios so we had a couple of cars that was equipped with car radios and we sent them out and we would take the switch of that thing, and had a code you know like an S.O.S., and one of them went up north, and one of them went south from La Jolla. Before we started in we wanted to see how far we were going to disturb things” (John Marsh Collection, Trip to Ohio Papers, #24)

In order to be able to put out an S.O.S. type signal he would have had to modulate the audio frequency onto a carrier in order for the car radios to pick up the signal. This audio frequency would also create a problem with radio stations. On the John Marsh Collection of Dr. Rife’s audio CDs, Dr. Couche makes an interesting comment about the #3 instrument. He was present at the 1934 clinic sponsored by Dr. Johnson and the University of Southern California. He stated:

DR. COUCHE: “They gave him a treatment of the Rife frequencies which are in the auditory band.” (John Marsh Rife CDs - CD 3 track 1)

The cancer (1,604,000 hertz) and tuberculosis (Rod 369,000 hertz and Virus 769,000 hertz) frequencies used in the 1934 clinic were not audio frequencies. Why would Dr. Couche make this statement? The evidence shows that Dr. Couche was getting things mixed up. The Beam Ray Clinical Rife Machine which Dr. Couche used for over 22 years used audio frequencies to create the proper sideband spacing to hit the high RF frequency M.O.R (Mortal Oscillatory Rate or the frequency that will kill or devitalize an organism). Dr. Couche purchased two or three of these clinical Rife Machines and used them until 1952 when he retired. We will cover this instrument later in this paper. Everything which we have quoted shows that the Rife Machines from 1934 and earlier could output audio frequencies and that Dr. Rife tested audio frequencies right from the beginning of his work in 1920.

Although we have been able to prove that Dr. Rife tested the audio range of frequencies, as any good scientist would have done, it should be pointed out that by 1935 when the Rife Ray #4 Rife Machine was built, he no longer felt that he needed to test audio frequencies any longer. This is indicated by the fact that no variable audio oscillator was included in this new frequency instrument. The Rife Ray #4 Rife Machine will be discussed later in this article.
