Guest guest Posted August 1, 2002 Report Share Posted August 1, 2002 Oh Geez here I go again. Have to clear something up. I realize that Rife's work wasn't finished, but that his machine was successful in curing terminal cancer patients, and people hear this and want to know how. wrote: 'snip' " Shiela, you sound as if you've concluded that Rifetech is developed enough that it can simply be cook-booked. IMHO, though Rifestuff is more of a nutznboltz technology than radionics, it's still chok-a-blok with question marks and problematic assertions, missing and often contradictory, easily misunderstood documentation. For a sampling about that matter, read Aubrey Scoon's latest posts to the list as well as make a visit to his website, <http://www.scoon.co.uk/>. Click on the " Electrotherapy " link on his intro page, fasten your seat belt and settle back for an assumption-bumping ride. " 'unsnip' I do hate to see people re-invent the wheel. If his machines were doing so good at curing cancer then those are the ones that should be built today. From reading between the lines today I am left with the impression that there isn't a machine available that is known to be an actual Rife machine? And no one is sure the schematics for a 'Rife' machine are actually 'Rife'? If you don't want to answer these questions because I haven't done my homework then that is fine. (Sorry the following just came to me as I was writing this message.) If Rife had dabbled in radionics would you have expected him to talk about it? LOL Look at the furor that this topic raised here. Then think about the trouble he got into with his " Rife " technology that he used to cure those terminal cancer patients. Oh and please don't panic, this was just a what if question, I am not saying he did or didn't dabble. Question? What I am wondering is this, were there some of the frequencies in the higher ranges that were potentially deadly? Something that could be accidentally hit upon and lethal? So perhaps Crane or others were trying to develop the lower frequencies as they were safe, and might achieve the same results. Asking these questions I now am almost thinking I will have to read about Rife to find out why he started drinking heavily. Why didn't he continue his research on his own? Do any of Rife experts have time to answer questions? Not about the technical aspect of his life, but about the personal happenings. I am curious to know if there could have been something that he discovered that made him an alcoholic. I know that I definitely had good results in using my contact machine conventionally for everyday maladies. Say a toothache, backache or even gall bladder problems. (Of course I have had the same results using it that other way. LOL Sorry ) Yet my husband used the machine in contact, faithfully everyday after we got it, running all of the cancer frequencies and he departed anyway. Although I am not 100% sure I do think it kept any pain at bay until he stopped using the machine. I am not sure because I wondered every time I asked him if he was telling me the truth when he would say he didn't have pain. Looking back I can see many things that we didn't do correctly, but at the time there wasn't much information available. People come to these lists to find answers about what they can use for their particular problem. The manufacturers can't say much so they come here to see if there is someone on the list that has been through what they are going through, and successfully beat it. Most know it isn't a totally finished product, and certainly not tested fully. Yet it might be the only hope they figure they have. There has to be success stories out there, but where is the information. I posted in one of my messages about recording anecdotal information in a standardized format, anonymous of course, and not one person commented on that idea. Everyone was more interested in protecting Rife's name and telling me in other words that I am a kook (a crown I wear proudly, Thank you)! LOL At least I posted something about using the machine and getting some kind of results. Sheila Sheila Bliesath Open Season Sometimes . . .

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2002 Report Share Posted August 1, 2002 Hi Sheila, I'm getting rather attached to the subject line.....! :-) I'll answer your questions below: > > I do hate to see people re-invent the wheel. If his machines were doing so > good at curing cancer then those are the ones that should be built today. > From reading between the lines today I am left with the impression that > there isn't a machine available that is known to be an actual Rife machine? > And no one is sure the schematics for a 'Rife' machine are actually > 'Rife'? If you don't want to answer these questions because I haven't done > my homework then that is fine. That's basically correct. Unfortunately we literally do need to reinvent the wheel in this case. We don't know exactly what Rife did. Now, anyone would suppose that a good engineer could work it out, but the real problem is that so much of the Rife stuff is fragmentary, contradictory and in some cases, technically impossible or meaningless. So a layperson sees some " spec " for a machine and thinks, " it should be easy for an expert to make one of those " , whereas in reality the expert sees it as a total mess or a can of worms he'd really rather not open! That's one of the reasons I keep harping on the technical side. All the obvious things have been tried one way or another over the years with only limited success. What this tells me is that there must be something wrong with the basic assumptions we (engineers) use when looking at these things. So I've tried approaching it from a different viewpoint and have come up with some very interesting correspondences that nobody has spotted before. I'm trying to encourage others to try a few paradigm shifts, let go of old ideas and have a new look from a different angle. So far it's going well. > (Sorry the following just came to me as I was writing this message.) If > Rife had dabbled in radionics would you have expected him to talk about it? > LOL Look at the furor that this topic raised here. Then think about the > trouble he got into with his " Rife " technology that he used to cure those > terminal cancer patients. Oh and please don't panic, this was just a what > if question, I am not saying he did or didn't dabble. Rife didn't dabble in Radionics. There's a long story to this so I'll just try to give you some highlights. Radionics (in the " official " definition of the term) was a system invented by a Dr called Albert Abrahms somewhere between 1910 and 1920. Now Abrahms came up with the idea of " spondylotherapy " which involved tapping people on the stomach and listening for changes in the sound. He reckoned he could diagnose like this and also extended the technique to tapping the stomach of a " test person " which he called a " reagent " while that person (facing west!) held a photograph or handwriting sample of another person - in order to diagnose the second person remotely. Because he was working with sounds he thought that each disease had its own frequency. So he got some engineers to do electronic experiments to make a machine that would put out variable frequencies he could use to treat patients. That machine was called an oscilloclast. Now surprisingly what is not generally known is that machine actually worked and had a sound electrical basis. It was a specialised form of what is known today as a magnetostrictive transducer, it actually causes intense ultrasonic pulses. But Abhrams set the machine up in such a way that the patient was actually in the ultrasonic beam and also connected to the electrical circuit, so in effect if one followed the instructions to the letter, the patient was actually being electrically zapped and blasted by ultrasonics at the same time. So despite Abrahms wierd ideas, his original electrical machine was actually valid. But somewhere along the line, things deteriorated. Abrahms didn't manufacture his own machines personally and at some point they started shipping out machines that were not actually wired up inside. But Abrahms insisted that he was still getting the same results just by setting the dials on imaginary machines! So after about 1919 Abrahms machines were just empty boxes or contained strange and illogical wiring that didn't actually do anything. Abrahms became a millionaire through selling these junk boxes, but people fell for it every time and carried on buying them. Eventually after many complaints (because his patients were dying) the fledgling AMA cracked down on him. He carried on regardless. Ironically, despite all his so called curative powers he died of a major illness (I think pneumonia) in 1924. By that time he had a huge following of cranks who wanted to carry on his ideas. They formed an organisation called ERA (called the Electronic Research Association) and promoted Abrahms ideas which they also called " ERA " , the " Electronic Reactions of Abrahms " . The ERA still exists and is a mystical and religious sect today. It might surprise you to know that what you're advocating is actually a cult religion! Anyway, Rife did not subscribe to this but many researchers suspect he was interested in Abrahms fundamental idea that diseases would respond to frequencies and this may have inspired his own work. But Rife was a real scientist and not crazy like Abrahms (although he wasn't THAT crazy since he made millions from it!). But Rife did test the original oscilloclast (the one with the real wiring) and actually said that he found that it worked. Going purely from memory, Rife's words as I recall them were something along the lines of " the much maligned apparatus of Abrahms gives a true waveform " . So Rife clearly knew of Abrahms and radionics, but its absolutely obvious from his various writings and letters that Rife was a hard core scientist who wanted to see proofs. He was not closed minded and was very open to new ideas even fringe ones, but he always came back to rigorous scientific methods. So I don't think Rife was into the quasi-religious stuff that passes for radionics today. Whilst on the subject I think one thing needs to be made clear. You are no doubt aware of the " quackwatchers " . They have a simple agenda to destroy ALL alternative medicine. But it is VERY hard for them to find any technical fault in the basic principles of Rife. So they don't try. In order to discredit Rife in the eyes of the generally ignorant public, they tell everyone that Rife is just an example of radionics. When most people look up the real history of all the craziness that passes for " radionics " they dismiss Rife as just more of the same. That's why some people don't like you associating Rife with radionics. Rife is scientifically credible, radionics isn't. Every time someone associates Rife with radionics you give ammunition to the quackwatchers to use in their disinformation campaign. Your public postings associating Rife with radionics may actually be in use at this moment by quackwatchers who are trying to mislead other people into dismissing Rife. I really mean this, if you take a look at some of the message lists those people use, you'll find they often grab postings from alt health lists and groups and post them to their own lists as evidence how crazy all of us are! Now YOU might be crazy (no offence, I'm joking :-) ) but I'm not, and I don't want my name associated with radionics! , the owner of this list can confirm this, we've seen it happening. And if you don't believe me take a look at the quackwatch site and see what they have to say about Rife. > Question? What I am wondering is this, were there some of the frequencies > in the higher ranges that were potentially deadly? Something that could be > accidentally hit upon and lethal?

I am curious to know if there could have been > something that he discovered that made him an alcoholic. It's possible that there are harmful frequencies although nobody has ever reported any. That's not why Rife took up drinking. Rife worked with an engineer called Hoyland in the 1930's. It was Hoyland who built all the machines for Rife from 1934 to 1939. Hoyland contributed a lot to the development of the machines and Rife assigned him rights as the co-owner of the technology. They formed a company called Beam Rays to develop and sell the machines, but Rife didn't take much part in it, he stayed working in the lab. Hoyland was a lot more involved in the commercial side. In 1937/38 Rife started negotiations with some British doctors who wanted the rights to distribute Rife microscopes throughout the world. But there is some indication that they also wanted to distribute the machines as well. Anyway, there were some unusual stock transfers between the partners of Beam Ray and Hoyland for some reason appeared be getting less shares than the others (there were several partners). It was fairly obvious that because Rife was personally involved and talking money with the British, Hoyland thought Rife was going to do a deal with the British behind his back, and that, combined with the stock transfers, was enough to prompt Hoyland to bring a legal action against Rife and Beam Rays. Hoyland obviously thought they were trying to cheat him out of his share. Hoyland subpoened Rife to give testimony at the trial. When Rife heard that he had to testify in court he went to pieces and started drinking (a doctor suggested he should take a small drink at night to help him sleep) but according to Rife's long time friend, Ben Cullen, Rife had an " addictive personality " and taking up regular drinking was the worst thing for him, he never stopped. WHY the idea of testifying frightened Rife so much we don't know, until more data is found it's just a matter of conjecture. Rife won the court case but Beam Rays was all but destroyed. Rife ended up in control but didn't operate the company as a going concern, and they had no funds anyway. Rife's drinking impaired his own abilities and also Rife was not aware of the technical details of all of Hoyland's developments, so according to Crane (who he met in 1950) Rife was unable to make a working machine after Hoyland left. Crane did his own research and experiments but he never had the resources that Rife had in the 1930's and they spent many years just getting to the stage of being able to produce a machine (the AZ-58), but they basically had to start from scratch and lacking the full laboratory resources that Rife had before, they never even reached the same stage that Rife did in the 1930's. That's why the technology never got properly developed. We have the same problem today. Few people have the lab resources and equipment that Rife did in the '30's. That's why we haven't been able to duplicate all his work today. > I know that I definitely had good results in using my contact machine > conventionally for everyday maladies.

LOL At least I posted something about > using the machine and getting some kind of results. Some people are only interested in protecting Rife's name. I don't care about that specifically, I'd rather protect my OWN name! As a known " rifer " with some small degree of " fame " in the public perception for my magazine article about Rife, I wouldn't want people to think that I was an advocate of radionics. I suspect some others feel the same but maybe don't want to admit it. Like I said before, you are perfectly entitled to believe in radionics and neither I nor anyone else has the right to stop you. But I would hope you can understand that others have different perceptions of radionics than you do. For example, to me it's just Voodoo. In Voodoo you can harm someone by sticking pins in a photograph of them, you say you can heal them by zapping the photograph. Same difference in my mind. To others, radionics is the cult religion promoted by Abrahms or the ERA. And so on. I'm not saying you should stop telling people your experiences but it helps to be aware that you're in a touchy area here and coming dangerously close to stomping on some people's religions - ALWAYS a difficult area. BTW you DO know there's a radionics Yahoo group, don't you? You must be, surely - after all, you radionics types should have psychically divined its existence with your pendulums or whatever! For the sake of those of you whose pendulums are broken and in the repair shop, the address is: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/radionics :-) Best wishes Aubrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 1, 2002 Report Share Posted August 1, 2002 What a wonderful post, Thank you Aubrey. I really appreciate this nutshell summary of Rife and the problems associated with Rife technology I must say for such a 'scientific' dude why couldn't he keep better records? Why couldn't he duplicate his machine? Something that you have put together yourself must surely be duplicatable by the person who assembled it in the first place. Now Nina I am sorry but I haven't had the time to sit down and read your book from cover to cover. I use it as a reference manual. I also have the Blast It book that is for reference. You are right I could get off from here and read instead of discussing with you people, and actually I have decided to put this list on web only today since I do have a business that can use more of my time. Don't everyone jump up and down for joy now! But I am going to send one more message and it will repeat something that I have included in a few emails and that no one has bothered to respond too. I added it to the last message and was hoping that Aubrey in his post would make mention of what I said, and the point was totally missed. Someone else posted almost the same thing and I was a bit miffed with their post for other reasons, but noted that no one responded to what they had to say. I am sorry that the word radionics causes such stress that very important suggestions are missed. It is unsettling to me that you have to agree with everyone or be vilified by some because you have a different view of things. It seems to me that most discoveries are made by people who live outside the box. But I guess the outside the box people have their limits too. , thank you for your tolerance. I was aware that you could have stopped the discussion at any time. You must realize that a little lively debate educates. The lists, I feel, are more interesting when there is a give and take of information, and discussion of differing points of view. To me the people who have bothered to study these things should want to discuss them to find out what each other believe, and thereby perhaps learn something new. But this also goes for the human side of things as well as the technical aspects. If you just go off and study on your own you may miss an important point. By helping a person who doesn't have the time or inclination to study the subject as much as another all can learn. More then once in just describing a situation to a friend, I have come up with solution. Ciao for now.

I'm not saying you should stop telling people your experiences but it helps to be aware that you're in a touchy area here and coming dangerously close to stomping on some people's religions - ALWAYS a difficult area.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2002 Report Share Posted August 1, 2002 Hi Sheila, You're welcome! > What a wonderful post, Thank you Aubrey. I really appreciate this nutshell > summary of Rife and the problems associated with Rife technology I must say > for such a 'scientific' dude why couldn't he keep better records? Supposedly he did, but the story goes that his lab was supposed have been burned down in the 1950's and much of it was destroyed. That's according to Crane and Bud Curtis. But a lot of it did survive and remains in private collections. The people who have it don't necessarily want to release it. For various reasons. Some are scared of being persecuted. Some just want to make a profit out of it and will only sell things for ridiculous prices. But also some are truly interested in helping people are just making sure it ends up in the hands of the right people and won't go to people who will abuse it, distort it, suppress it or just try to profit from it. > Why > couldn't he duplicate his machine? Something that you have put together > yourself must surely be duplicatable by the person who assembled it in the > first place. Now this a dangerous question to ask! :-) Some people get VERY upset if you ask this! I've been asking the same question myself for the last 2 years. The only logical conclusion I can reach from this is that Rife DIDN'T invent the machines himself. I've explained at length in the past why I believe that Hoyland had a lot more to do with all this than he is credited for. But the fact remains that Rife had a machine before he met Hoyland so Hoyland didn't invent it as such, although I believe he perfected it somewhat. The real question is, if Rife DIDN'T invent the original machine, then who did? Some people get upset because they think that this line of speculation denigrates Rife. I don't think so. Rife wasn't God or Superman and if there is some aspect of the machine that he didn't come up with by himself it hardly demeans him, especially in the light of all his other achievements. There is no doubt whatsoever that Rife was one of the most brilliant optical engineers in history, and he achieved much more than that. > But I am going to send one more message and it will repeat something that I > have included in a few emails and that no one has bothered to respond too. > I added it to the last message and was hoping that Aubrey in his post would > make mention of what I said, and the point was totally missed. O.K. I admit I don't know what you're referring to. Spell it out for me and I'l try to answer if I can. Best wishes Aubrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 2, 2002 Report Share Posted August 2, 2002 Hello , > Aubrey, > > Thank you for your most enlightening explanations about Rife and the development of his and Abram's Radionics. This ties up a lot of loose ends. You're welcome. There are many more things in the history that I think need to be clearly explained, it throws a completely different light on the whole area. I understand why people have written popular accounts of the history but often it introduces misconceptions that I think need to be cleared up. This is nobody's " fault " as such, it depends largely on the information available at the time. As more info becomes available, more things become clear. > The success of the early Rife devices, which subsequently no-one has been able to duplicate is quite fascinating and perplexing - but not unprecedented ( vide Keely, for example). It implies that there was some extra - and essential - element at work here, that has subsequently defied definition and replication. Yes, this is what I've been arguing for some time. Either that, or the historical accounts are wrong and that some of the things we think happened, didn't! For what it's worth I don't think the historical accounts are very far out and that most of the things attributed to Rife DID happen, but not necessarily in as clear and simple a way as we might think. > I am reminded here of the subtle energy components which have recently been proven statistically by Tiller Whoa! Hold on here! Be very careful with that word " proven " , it's dangerous! The reason why, is that as soon as most people see that word " proven " they assume something must be true and stop asking questions. What most people think constitutes " proof " in everyday terms does not qualify as such in a scientific sense. And the rules of science are there to stop us getting caught up in mistaken ideas. I would like to state categorically that NOTHING can be proven statistically. A proof requires an exact answer and statistics never gives an exact answer, it just gives us a probability. You may think this is just a picky pedantic distinction but it isn't. Take my reply to Nina about the Fscan for example. I started by explaining that I found a statistical correspondence in the machine reponse. That in and of itself is pretty convincing but it's NOT a proof. The actual proof comes further on when I describe some other things I did to confirm it. A 99% probability of something being true does NOT make it true. To give an example, let me make up a story. Let us say that you have a neighbour who has been previously convicted 20 times for car theft. Late one night you hear a noise and look out of your window and you see that neighbour with a tyre iron trying to force his way into a car outside his house. Now you know what his car looks like and that is not his car. So what's the probability he's trying to steal it? Given his history it's pretty likely that's exactly what he's doing. But at the same time you can't rule out other less likely possibilities. For example the car could belong to a friend of his who was visiting him, his friend locked his keys in his car and asked the neighbour if he could break into the car and get the keys to save him cost of calling a tow truck. Or maybe there was someone locked inside the car who had a heart attack and was unconscious and the guy was trying to break in to get to him and save him! And so on. There are numerous (unlikely) possibilities. But the mere fact they are unlikely doesn't rule them out completely. The basis of a scientific proof is that it has to be so certain that all other possibilities ARE ruled out. > in his work with Intention Imprinted Electronics, where his 'treated' electronic components behaved rather differently from identical, 'untreated' ones, and were capable of changing the rate of - for example- cell division in a repreatable manner. I am aslo reminded of the work of Benveniste on the memory of water where the induction of the 'effect' was more effective using a magnetically self-cancelling coil than one where a magnetic flux was generated. I tend to follow the current scientific community view that these things are far too vaguely defined to accept them as being real effects. That's not to say that they are not, but rather that any evidence in favour of them tends to be scanty, inconsistent and not reproducible under all conditions. I'll give an example. Let's say that I am convinced of the existence of some " intention field " , I have no doubt in my own mind of its existence and I set up an experiment where I connect some electronic circuit to an oscillocope and try to alter the readings by intention alone. I take 100 readings and in 99 of them there appears to be a correlation between what I " intended " and what was observed. The 1 other reading clearly shows no correlation between the intention and the effect. Now is this proof that intention affected the circuit? The answer is no for several reasons. Firstly there is the extremely remote and unlikely (but nonetheless possible) possibility that the 99 correlations were pure coincidence or random chance and that the 1 anomalous reading was the only " true " one. Reason 2: I have done nothing which establishes that my intent affected the circuit itself. What if my intent affected the oscilloscope instead? So what? You might be tempted to say, it's the same thing isn't it? Well the answer is no, and it depends on the experimental circumstances. Let us say that I was leaning on the oscilloscope during the experiments, and that every time I expected a result my body temperature varied slightly in anticipation of a positive result. The change in temperature was transmitted to the oscilloscope and altered the reading. Did my intention affect the oscilloscope? Yes, indirectly. Did it prove subtle energy? No, the effect on the oscillocope was a simple temperature change that required nothing beyond currently accepted physics to explain. Reason 3: Was my interpretation of the oscilloscope reading objective? For example, was I so keen on finding a positive effect that I actually fooled myself into seeing something in the oscilloscope trace that wasn't really there? Maybe not, but such things do happen, and more often than most people think. Reason 4: When I wrote down the scope reading, did I actually write down what I saw, or did I unconsciously write down what I wanted to have seen instead without realising it? Again, this happens much more often than most people realise. And so on. There are numerous such possibilities, and I haven't even touched on other things like indirect influences by conventional but unexpected means. This is why these kinds of findings need to be verified objectively in other laboratories with other equipment by other researchers. And when this is done, more often than not, the results come out differently. So it leaves us in the rather strange situation where nothing is proved at all either one way or another. There is no absolute proof that such effects happen, nor is there any that they DON'T happen! Now Tiller is a good scientist, but he's also extremely religious and enthusiastic about his ideas of " intention fields " and the like. So much so that all his work starts from the predicate that such a thing exists and is designed to prove it. But this starting assumption is NOT scientific. NO assumptions are scientific. Benveniste is embittered by the rejection of his ideas by the " scientific establishment " . He would dearly like to prove them all wrong and vindicate himself. Does that give him a motive to possibly delude himself? Of course it does. Now I'm not suggesting for one moment that he IS deluding himself. But his results have not been unequivocally verified and some scientists believe his experimental setup is flawed. Now I don't know if it is or not, so I just try to keep an open mind and neither believe nor disbelieve his findings. So far it's just raw data that doesn't seem to prove much one way or another. It certainly indicates the need for further investigation and it IS very wrong for mainstream scientists to dismiss his results out of hand as some certainly have done. What I'm saying is that personally I'm much more likely to believe someone who is rather cold and objective and doesn't care if the results come out one way or another. Very few people fit this description, scientists or otherwise. For what it's worth I do believe that such things exist and need to be investigated, but I think in all cases, before resorting to " subtle energies " , it is necessary to eliminate (and/or measure) all the conventional ones. And to date I've NEVER seen anyone doing that in these kinds of experiments. The human body has an electromagnetic field around it. That field varies with the emotions and intent of the person. So the probability that this field (which is quite conventional) has some effect on external circuitry is extremely high. In fact the idea that it doesn't, is somewhat ridiculous in itself. So what I say is, why do we need to propose subtle energies to explain that some intent or emotion could affect an external system? Especially when we already know for certain that there is a conventional field that does just that? Anyway, I'm not arguing, just some food for thought here. > In the latter case it therefore appears that the magnetic vector potential - the A field -which is undetectable by electronic means ( except by using a phson Junction device) was the key factor in inducing the message into the water. This all leads me to wonder whether it might not be the potential fields - rather than the derived, measurable fields - which are being harnessed, and are the principle ingredient used by Rife in his original devices. Now this is somewhere where I DO agree we need to look further. There is a question as to whether the A field is a physical reality or a mathematical artifact. The Aharonov-Bohm experiment provides a mathematical proof but that proof is flawed in that it is not invariant to a gauge transform. The experimental results seem to be more credible but again there are anomalies that I for one am not satisfied have been properly investigated. For example, Aharonov and Bohm believe that there is no flux field outside the magnetic coil and this means that only a A field could affect the electron diffraction. However, I can't see any way that it is possible by shielding or otherwise to totally eliminate the flux field, for the simple reason that magnetic flux ALWAYS follows a closed loop, and if you could shield the flux in such a way as to break the loop, you'd automatically invalidate the very equations that predict the existence of an A field! It may be that my understanding of this is somehow at fault but I haven't seen anything which would account for this. Anyway, the above aside, I DO believe that vector potentials are something we should look at. But only after we've eliminated all the conventional fields, forces and fluxes. And so far nobody has even tried to accurately measure even ONE of the conventional energies in something like the Rife effect. So I think we're still a long way off needing to invoke vector potential fields as an explanation. In my own papers on the Rife effect I've proposed an unconventional theory of my own, which is that there is an equivalence between a Poynting vector and juxtaposed electric and magnetic force fields which would mathematically amount to the same thing as that Poynting vector, at any point in space. This is really very conventional in nature, not requiring any special or unusual energies and quite within conventional science. But there is not one scientist who can say for certain whether this idea is true or not! >This looks like rather slim evidence as it stands here, but there are other instances where similar 'anomalous' effects have been noted, for example in the area of torsion fields, and one consequently wonders whether certain components of what we - very loosely - term as the 'vacuum' or ZPE, might not be involved here ( and I might add - perhaps sticking my neck out - that Radionics -particularly the work of Heironymous, might be tapping these potential (information??) fields comprising the vacuum. > Certainly I do believe that we need to 'think outside tthe proverbial box' when addressing the mechanisms of real Rife effects. I agree. But I think we need to think BOTH inside and outside the box! :-) To my mind too many people are thinking " outside the box " because they simply have never learned how to think INSIDE it! In my ideal world there wouldn't be any box at all and everyone would just THINK, period! :-) P.S. Anyone care to prove the existence of the " box " ? That one should be very entertaining! :-) Best wishes Aubrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
