Rife Chronology
This is the historical record of Rife's discovery and where it
is today.
MAY 16, 1888
—Royal Raymond Rife is born in Elkhorn, Nebraska
1910-1920
—Settles in San Diego, California
1920-1929
—Conducts research in microscopes, microbiology and “energy medicine.”
NOVEMBER 3, 1929
—Rife’s stunning
accomplishments are first brought public in an article in the San Diego
Union paper. Readers learn that “Rife. . .is evolving a new method that
will do away with chemicals...The possibilities of this process once it
is perfected, he believes, are boundless. Medical men...may in this one
step find an end to much of human suffering. This is Rife’s great aim.”
JUNE 1931
—The nationally distributed magazine Popular Science describes
Rife’s accomplishments and the new world he has opened to the American
people. In the article doctors and lab workers report, “We were in the
laboratory of R.R. Rife at San Diego, Calif. He is a pioneer in the art
of making motion pictures of the microscopically small. Now doctors may
sit and watch bacteria in their native surroundings on a motion picture
screen. Rife has devised a magnetic compass so delicate that it can be
used to study the electricity and magnetism in living germs. He suggests
that if the electrical make-up of certain dangerous germs is learned, it
may someday be possible to destroy them in the human body by applying
small doses of electricity.”
NOVEMBER 1931
—Dr. Milbank Johnson, professor of medicine at the University of
Southern California in Los Angeles, travels to San Diego to “check out”
this genius Royal R. Rife. Dr. Johnson is accompanied by three other
prominent Los Angeles area doctors. They are astounded by what they
find. They immediately send a Western Union telegram to Dr. Arthur
Kendall of Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois, one of the
leading bacteriologists in America. He wires back that he will be on a
train heading to the American West Coast within a day or so!
MID-NOVEMBER 1931
—The historic “doctor’s gathering” occurs in Pasadena, California.
Forty-four of the nation’s most respected medical authorities honor Rife
with a banquet billed as “The End to All Diseases.”
NOVEMBER 22, 1931
—The Los Angeles Times reports, “Scientific discoveries of the greatest
magnitude...were described Friday evening to members of the medical
profession, bacteriologists and pathologists at a dinner given by Dr.
Milbank Johnson in honor of Dr. Rife and Dr. A.I.
Kendall.”
DECEMBER
1931 —The official journal of the state medical
associations of California, Nevada and Utah report on the discoveries
and historic significance of Rife’s and Kendall’s breakthrough project.
JULY
5-7, 1932 —Rife, Kendall and Dr. Edward C. Rosenow of
the Mayo Clinic, the most prestigious research and treatment hospital in
America, meet in Chicago to verify the results of the Pasadena,
California experiments. The successful results are soon reported in a
staff paper circulated within the Mayo Clinic and then in Science
magazine (August 26, 1932), the most prestigious scientific journal in
America.
NOVEMBER 1931
—Rife isolates in his remarkable microscope a virus-size, dwarf
bacteria that is the cause of many, if not all, cancers.
SUMMER OF 1934
—Dr. Milbank Johnson of the University of Southern California
organizes a clinical trial consisting of 16 persons with cancer
diagnosed as “terminal.” The clinic is located in La Jolla, California,
just north of San Diego. Within a few months time, all 16 patients are
diagnosed as “cured.”
1935-1938
—Clinics are opened in San Diego, Los Angeles and Pasadena, California.
Phenomenal results are reported. A Special Medical Research Committee is
organized at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles to
oversee and manage Rife’s “energy medicine” research and clinical
success with a variety of disease conditions, not just cancer.
MAY 6, 1938 AND MAY 11, 1938
—The San Diego Evening Tribune reports that Rife’s “energy medicine” has
successfully destroyed the microbes associated with cancer and other
diseases. The newspaper articles are cautious but optimistic, but the
original article declares, “The discovery promised fulfillment of man’s
age-old hope for a specific destroyer of all his infectious diseases...
Organisms from tuberculosis, cancer... Typhoid...Were among many which
the scientist reported are killed by the waves... Rife commented, ‘...we
can say that these waves or the ray has the power of devitalizing
disease organisms.’”
1938-1939
—The San Diego Medical Society reacts furiously to the newspaper article
describing Rife’s profound discoveries. Doctors using Rife’s “energy
instruments” are visited and informed to stop healing their patients
with Rife’s method or face loss of the medical licenses and jail.
MARCH 1939
—The leading laboratory for electronic or energy medicine in
America, located in New Jersey across the river from New York City, is
“mysteriously” destroyed by fire at 3 A.M. while its director is in San
Diego visiting Rife.
MAY-JUNE 1939
—An electronics engineer who assisted Rife during a critical phase of
Rife’s research sells out to the American Medical Association. The
engineer initiates a courtroom battle for control of the new healing
method. Rife is stopped just before leaving for England where scientists
and doctors are prepared to honor him and his new healing technology,
followed by worldwide distribution of his microscopes and energy
instruments.
JUNE 1939
—Rife’s associates beat back the engineer’s attempt to grab the
Rife discoveries on behalf of the American Medical Association. However,
Rife has begun to drink during the severe pressure of the trial. He and
his associates are virtually bankrupt when the trial is over.
SEPTEMBER 1939
—World War II erupts when Nazi Germany invades Poland. The world is
plunged into war until 1945.
1940
—Arthur Yale, M.D. reports at the California State Homeopathic
Medical Society that he has achieved stunning cures of terminal cancer
patients using Rife’s “energy instruments” and thus destroying the
microbe associated with cancer.
1944
—Dr. Milbank Johnson, head of the Special Medical Research
Committee of the University of Southern California, mysteriously dies.
Shortly thereafter, all the files relating to Rife “vanish.”
1945-1950
—Rife hits hard financial times as he is “locked out” of
medical-scientific worlds previously open to him.
1950-1960
—Rife begins to develop anew his “energy instruments” with new
associates. These are primarily with engineering backgrounds however. No
men with scientific or medical credentials dare to assist Rife. However,
over 90 instruments are distributed for research and self
experimentation.
1960
—Medical authorities invade Rife’s lab. Energy instruments are
smashed and confiscated. Rife goes into hiding in Mexico while his
associates are put on trial. Medical documentation is not allowed to be
introduced at their trial. Rife’s associates are sentenced to long jail
terms.
AUGUST 1971
—Rife dies in San Diego, California at the age of 83.
APRIL 1987
—The Cancer Cure That Worked: The Rife Report is published. It
sparks an interest in Rife’s long-suppressed inventions, discoveries and
“energy medicine” healing therapy.
1990-2000
—A stunning grassroots movement centered on Rife’s lost science
erupts across America and then spreads into other countries. Reports of
amazing cancer cures based on Rife-related therapy begins circulating.
Rife becomes a focus of serious scientific, medical and engineering
exchanges on the world wide web as the internet catalyzes an
information-communication revolution.
2000-2001
-Elected members of Congress begin asking hard questions of FDA and NCI
officials regarding Rife and other alternative cancer therapies.
