How do Rife Machines Work?
Written by John Wright, JWLABS founder
If you are one of the few who have abandoned conventional wisdom and are here to examine Rife technology in earnest, you have arrived at the right place.
There are twice as many explanations for how a frequency instrument works as there are frequency instruments. Most of these explanations are wrong or woefully incomplete. In principal, anything powerful enough to kill a tiny microbe, but do no harm to the body, is bound to work to some degree. It’s unavoidable.

Value Versus Hardware
Nothing should be added to a Rife Machine that isn’t required to perform at peak performance. The components that go into the machine, also known as the hardware, should never include meaningless modalities intended merely to impress or make the machine appear to have more value than it actually has. Examination of the evolution of applicator technology reveals that the means of delivering current to the body has gone through many changes over its one hundred year history. Until medical quality electrode patches were invented, the means of application were crude and fairly limited.
For the first fifty years, the inventor of Rife technology, Royal Rife, used metal rods users would grip with their hands while standing on large steel plates. Horribly inadequate, this was only one step ahead of attaching wires to bolts installed in your neck! Today, many would-be Rife manufacturers continue to use rods and plates.
Though it may be authentic to Rife technology, the method has been obsolete for many years. There are various other experimental applicators in the market today, but these are mostly for show and do not actually add anything new to the recommended therapy. The machine that uses less hardware, without sacrificing any of the output quality, makes it possible for more people to enjoy the benefits, because this makes the same therapy less expensive.
Analog Versus Digital
Though digital accuracy is greater than is possible with analog, it is the wrong sort of accuracy. Minor variations that are characteristic of an analog device must be simulated digitally, using more complex hardware in order for it to approximate analog accuracy.
The frequency tuning of most digital machines leaves a great deal to be desired. Unless a digital machine employs very complex programs, there are many frequencies that it will simply never be able to achieve properly because it is effectively impossible to digitally simulate the perfectly smooth gradients of tuning that are inherent to an analog device of far less complexity. In other words, if an analog device can split a single hertz into billionths, simply by turning a dial, a single hertz simulated at that level digitally would require at least a gigabyte of information.
Multiply that by the fact that the ten thousand hertz that are traditionally used in Rife therapy would require ten terabytes, or about six modern PCs computers, loaded to the gills, to equal it digitally. Not impossible, but still a lot more than is feasible or affordable with the present state of digital programming technology. This amount of power is easily achieved in analog by means of a series of simple potentiometers.
Output Power
There are limits to the amount of current energy the body can comfortably tolerate without harm. It has long been known that lower frequencies require far less energy to deliver effectively because the amount of deliverable frequency power, or signal, that can be delivered drops off exponentially at higher frequencies. For this and for other reasons, the lower frequencies are proportionally safer than higher ranges because they require far less electrical potential to drive them.
True Native Frequencies
Rife discovered the importance of frequency when he found that microorganisms can be viewed in their native colors. Through the use of a series of prisms, he arrived at a system that could polarize the light spectrum for this purpose. In the strictest sense, these are the true native frequencies of the various microorganisms. But because the frequencies of light are so high, they can only be easily expressed by scientific notation. When he exposed microbes to the precise frequencies of light under the microscope, they didn’t die because the amount of deliverable energy by means of light is insignificant and far below the level that is needed to destroy them. So, he was forced to practically translate these light frequencies down the spectrum to lower frequency ranges in order so that enough energy could be safely delivered.
One of the ranges is the radio transmission range. These are frequencies measured in megahertz, or millions of cycles per second. This range turned out to be ideal for treatment of the microscope and will only destroy microbes when the precise frequency is achieved. A big drawback of using radio waves to kill pathogens is that microwaves begin as low as 33 megahertz. Unshielded microwave energy is not desirable in any therapy instrument for the reason that it kills human cells just as readily as it kills germs. Human brain cells are especially susceptible, as are certain nerves, reproductive organs and tissues of the eye. Therefore, in order to develop an instrument that will do no harm to the user, only the audio range is safe. The audio range is about the same as that of a piano. You can listen to a piano all day long and it will not harm you in the slightest. In fact, music has other observable therapeutic value all by itself.
The resonance of this type of signal is encompassed in overtones and undertones, just as they are observable on the piano. When you hit a middle C, both high C and low C resonate. It is by this means that the mortal oscillatory rates actually work. Audio does not use the native frequencies of a microbe, they employ the resonances that are sympathetically generated because resonance does not occur in the machine, they occur in the body.
What is Harmonics?
Harmonics is what happens when you hit two piano keys at once. You do not get either frequency, instead, you get the harmonic frequency that is generated by the combined tones. For this reason, there can be no such thing as multiple signal generators. If you introduce two different signals into the body, you will only get the harmonics they create, and thus you will never know what the effective frequency actually is. In the worst case, the harmonics will reach frequencies approaching microwave.
Waveform Generation
There are some very simple reasons why the only waveform a true Rife machine generates is a square wave. Introducing frequency into the body is like trying to play the piano underwater. The signal will be muted and sound very muffled. This is because as the waves of energy pass through the water, they are eroded by the natural kinetic resistance of the water. The Rife machine has a much more difficult medium to penetrate, so it is far more difficult to deliver the correct, coherent signal to the deepest tissues. The body has a lot of resistance and muffles the necessary signals very rapidly. To be more concise, the signal flattens out the farther it travels throughout the body. In order to compensate for this, the square wave is used because it has the most total signal, allowing it to maintain the frequency much farther through the medium than any other type of signal.
Some argue that Rife used a sine wave, which is accurate to a point. The instant a square wave enters the body, it is converted into a sine wave by the resistance of the body. If you introduce a sine wave, it would instantly goes flat, unable to deliver any frequency information/potential at all. This is true with all other waveforms as well, except the square wave.
