Guest guest Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 I have several " Rife " devices, including a Pro Wave Model 101, GB4000, IR/BPT-500, 8CE EM+, and an F125 generator. The only review I have written so far is on the Model 101 so I will post it below. I would strongly advise against the IR/BPT-500 since I have had mine almost a year now and have not been able to really use or test it as it has never run right. I have spent over $400 in returning it 4 times for repairs. It is now back in Florida being repaired for the last time since the year warranty expires soon. If the repair works this time then I will change my opinion but I will wait until I write my final review. Had I known better I would have gotten the PERL instead. My favorite so far is the 8CE EM+ from Bruce Stenulson. I have used it successfully for several problems and am treating my wife's breast cancer with it. There are pro's and con's for all my devices (except for the IR/BPT-500) but if I could only have one it would be the 8CE EM+. Here is my review of the Pro Wave Model 101 which I wrote over a year ago: Since I have found very little info on the ProWave Model 101, I am taking the time to add my input since I purchased one anyway. I am not connected in any way to a seller of the device. I purchased my unit after meeting the owner of the company which manufactures the Model 101 while on a Caribbean cruise this past summer. The " Model 101 Energy System " came with the following contents: (1) Pro Wave Model 101 cordless instrument, (1) battery charger/power supply cord, (2) stainless steel hand cylinder electrodes, (2) 72 " connecting wires for hand electrodes, (2) stainless steel disk electrodes with 72 " wires attached, (1) Tac Gel conductive adhesive, (2) wrist band stainless steel electrodes with 72 " wires attached, (1) white aloe conductive lotion, (8) flexible self adhesive conductive electrodes (TENS type), (2) 72 " wires with pin plug and 1/8th " banana plug for flexible conductive electrodes, (1) operating manual, and (1) " Get Started Today " instruction video. All of this came with a very nice soft leather carry bag which nicely carries all of the pieces in various compartments and pockets. The operating manual is very well written and makes using the device so very simple. If that wasn't enough, the video shows how to do everything. The Model 101 comes with a built in rechargeable NiMH battery that enables the unit to be run for about 6 hours without being plugged into to a socket. Output is .1 to 28 volts. Frequency range is 0.42Hz to 200KHz, channel range from .5Hz to 21,275Hz (this is from the manual, don't ask me to explain). Programs: There are 181 individual frequency " channels " in memory from the manufacturer. There are 325 programs available, each capable of storing 64 individual channels. There are 10 user accessible programs capable of storing 32 individual channels. You cannot enter any other frequencies that are not already programmed in. This is the major drawback of the device, in my opinion. One nice feature is a gentle " ramp up " (soft start) which is basically 3 seconds at the start of each channel to eliminate the shock sensation. This is really nice especially at the lower frequencies that tend to jolt you a little as they change. Another nice feature is something they call " bio-impedance " matching that supposedly matches your skin resistance to the output of the device to deliver a strong and effective signal that is comfortable as well. There are lights on the console that let you know if electrode contact is poor, good, or non-existent. There is a signal that beeps which anything happens (frequency changes, program ends, etc). This beep can be silenced or raised if desired. The display shows the program running, total minutes remaining, channel number (not the frequency), time remaining on the channel, energy level (% of maximum output), and the name of the program which is running. This device is about as user friendly as it can get. It is designed so that even if you lost the manual, you could use the device by simply scrolling forwards or backwards through the programs and pressing a couple of buttons. The " quick start menu " and " advanced set up " allow anyone to start and run a program without being a rocket scientist or knowing anything about frequency or all the other confusing Rife nomenclature. So far, I have found the pre-installed programs for the 325 conditions, pretty close to the CAFL. There have been a few that I wanted to change, so I simply programmed my own by simply adding the frequencies to those already in the device. I have been very impressed with the quality of the materials and the construction of this device. I think the console and the electrodes could really take a beating and still function (but don't test that fact!) Since I met the owner of the company, I was able to use my Internet sleuthing skills and learned that his company has a solid background in the medical electronics field. Obviously, this device is a " silent " part of their business due to obvious reasons (FDA, pharmaceutical companies, etc). No, I will not reveal any more info about the company as I want the manufacture of this device to continue so that as many people as possible can benefit from this technology. I would highly recommend this device to anyone who wants a simple to use pad device. My wife and I have both used this to stop the flu after one day. Other than that, we have been healthy and haven't had to test it further. I will admit, that after I bought the device, I researched pad devices a lot further and learned what features I, personally, would prefer in a pad device. I am a little technically savvy and am comfortable around computers so I would prefer a deice which would allow me to program a lot more frequencies than the Model 101 has pre-installed. I would also prefer to do a few more things like run more than one frequency at a time, sweep, etc. For these reasons I would prefer a GB-4000. Now, if you could combine the features of the Model 101 with the GB-4000, you would have, in my opinion, the best pad device. Even though the GB-4000 does not appear to be too really difficult to learn how to use, I think a lot of people would prefer the ease, simplicity and effectiveness of the Model 101. I can envision a lot of people who would simply prefer to scroll through a list of programs, (# 379- Shingles, for example), press two buttons, sit back and be " Rifed " . I know my wife would prefer the Model 101 but perhaps I will save my money and get myself a GB-4000 to keep at the office. Of course my dream Rife machine is a Plasma device, but I am waiting to see the results of my wife's mamogram. Then, I will determine if the expense of one of the two Plasma devices I am considering is warranted. Finally, the ProWave Model 101 is expensive, around $2,400, but a lot of similar devices are in the same price range. Yes, I know a signal generator such as the F125 is a lot less expensive, but many people who want to make use of Rife/Crane pad technology want something that is easy to use. Many are intimidated by having to program, either manually by punching in frequencies, or by computer download. There is definitely a niche for the Model 101. To get one, do a Google search.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Hi, I'm new to the list trying to learn more about Rife machines and particularly the one I have access to through a family member who had connections in the alternative health field some years back. She bought it second hand. The Rife is a wright laboratories Rife machine B-27. Does anyone know about this machine? Is it safe? Built well? Thanks so much, Sal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Polly, If I were buying a machine: Only pad or contact machine I would even consider is the GB4000 with amplifier. Very wide range, programmable, good machine. Only plasma Bare-Rife machine would be the PERL from Resonant Light in Canada. Expensive, but sometimes you DO get what you pay for. Many vendors with EMEM machines, Mike T, RifeLabs, Bruce S, Dr Loyd.. many vendors. $700 to $2500 ?? All depends on what's used for the frequency generator. And, there is the new P3 machine from Jimmie Holman, looks impressive according to what Jimmie says about the clinical studies in Europe. Expensive.

I googled the GB 4000 and the 8CE EM+, that one looks scary. I am not very technical, and so I think that eliminates the 8CE EM+ for me. The GB4000 looks similar to the Pro Wave in ease of use. I found one offered by EMR Labs, GB4000 " Blue " $1795, optional wrist bands and poly pads for additional $99 (would I need these?) and SR-4 " BLUE " 30 MHz 10-Watt Amplifier ($595 would I need that?) When you add these all up it comes to the same price as the Pro Wave. Can you go into a little more detail, did you feel that the GB 4000 is a better machine just not as easy to use as the Pro Wave? For a newbie are there programs in it for say arthritis, diverticulitis, cancer... or do you have to program them in (web site says 871 unique frequency channels). I think I am digging myself deeper in confusion. Polly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 If i may add my two cents ...if you are not an apartment dweller you may want to consider a radiant device rather than a contact device. It has been stated that contact devices may offer less effectiveness than radiant due to the paths of resistance. There are a couple of good device though that offer both in their setup and that would be a good deal as both have their place but if money is a problem and you can only choose one....I would suggest radiant. Many times you can use the freq generator in radiant device in the contact mode anyway so you'll still be killing two birds with one stone ( no pun intended) good luck in your choices. medusa Re: Getting a Rife Machine > > I think I am digging myself deeper in confusion. > > Polly > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 See www.rifevideos.com and read articles. Rife switched to modified function generators for a reason. Power is increased with an amplifier on a GB2000. Used machines are often sold on EBAY at a good discount. --------- Re: Getting a Rife Machine > > I think I am digging myself deeper in confusion. > > Polly > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Hi, Gail.. The P3 is the commercial version of Jimmie's P3Pro, and I believe that the P3Pro is the machine which has been doing so very well in clinical testing in Europe. Eventually maybe they'll give us actual results - but I recall that nobody, virtually nobody, gives out actual data, even some who say it's all available but somehow is never really there. (Mike T seems to be the only one who sometimes gives out actual experimental results with his machines.) Website: http://www.pulsedtech.com/ The P3 must be used with Jimmie's PFG generator, and connected to a Windows computer to set frequencies. It comes out to an expensive package, but reports I hear is that it works very well indeed. Be aware that Jimmie's research seems to be focussing on higher frequencies more than the standard CAFL set (the PFG does those too..) And, I'm hearing from others that higher frequencies seem to work better (as example 10x the CAFL frequencies as an experiment..) and this makes lots of sense to me. I don't have pricing, but I believe the P3 and PFG package less a computer (laptops work fine, must either have a parallel port or a pcmcia to parallel adapter - but I'll bet a USB version will be out soon) comes out to $5000 and possibly closer to ($6000 ?) Support is also excellent, from what I hear.. No more waiting for months to get a machine repaired. Packaging - don't really care for the P3 packaging, but as a builder, packaging has been the greatest single problem I've had in building instruments of all kinds over the years. Wish it were in my price range!!

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Dave, Thank you for the information and link. It looks completely different from the PPET, which at one time I had considered purchasing. I ultimately decided on a different setup though, because I wanted to use the A/R F165, which could not be used with that system. Many of the programs I use are in the higher frequency ranges, and I have found them to be extremely effective if you have the right frequency, or combination of frequencies. Same with the lower ranges. Cost is higher than some units, but equal to others, so would be a good option to consider for those purchasing in that price range. Considering the source, I'm sure it is a nice setup. Gail Dave Felt wrote: Hi, Gail..
