Guest guest Posted July 6, 2002 Report Share Posted July 6, 2002 Johan, In order for any frequency to have biological effects, it first must be " absorbed " so to speak by the body. The frequency must also be present for some prolonged period of time. A short burst of a single audio tone, or some RF level frequency, isn't going to do much, unless it is extremely intense. A two second exposure in a microwave oven isn't going to cook a potato! Audio waves are longitudinal or compressional waves. That is to say, they carry an actual physical force with them as they travel. At low intensity levels, music does have psychological effects that can translate into physical effects. At extremely high intensity levels especially at frequencies below 30 Hz, music or tones can have substantial physical effects on the human body. Sonic lithotrypsy is used to destroy kidney stones for example. It is true " Rife " frequencies are for the most part in the audio range. But unless they somehow directly interact with and couple to your body, they aren't going to do much. One can use electrical contact pads ( electrodes ) to introduce the frequencies, or one can use a transmitted field device to introduce the frequencies. In a transmitted field device, the transmitted wave is demodulated . At the point of demodulation an electrical charge will be produced. Since the electrical charge is pulsed it should be possible to convert this into an acoustic wave. Doubtful your TV is going to hurt you unless it falls on you! As for music.. Mozart is probably going to keep putting a smile on peoples faces for the next few centuries at least. I doubt people will be playing Dr. Dre recordings a hundred years from now. :>} Jim Bare >What is the difference between being exposed to Rife frequencies, radio >frequencies, TV frequencies, rock music frequencies, Mozart frequencies, >cell phone frequencies, etc?

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2002 Report Share Posted July 6, 2002 Hello Johan, Don't worry, nothing personal, it's obvious this situation needs putting to rest and it's better that people stand up and have the courage to say so rather than letting it fester unsaid. So from my point of view I commend you for saying it. > First, I have to get this off my chest, and please don't take this > personally. , you're good at back-pedalling. You'll do well in > politics - no offense. Aubrey Scoon, I like your reasoning ability but you > must be consistent. Some time ago you took Dick Lloyd to task for making > " unsubstantiated and unscientific " assumptions about the F-scan, however, > you let get away with " I was informed/told by " statements, > without any backup. Empirical evidence? Actually, for the record I didn't let " get away " with anything as various list moderators and a few others will be able to confirm. I just decided that it was not appropriate to inflame what was developing into an argument between list moderators by adding to public postings on the matter. Unfortunately the issue will not go away until all the dirty laundry is out in the open and so I would like to set a few things straight. Firstly, the reason why I didn't want to make a public issue of this was because the online Rife community relies on the good work of ALL of the list moderators. The moderators are often taken for granted and under-appreciated generally - they have a difficult job trying to balance fairness with personal opinion, sorting the wheat from the chaff etc. I have moderator privileges on this group but I don't exercise them - I just try to help when he's away or busy. But from that vantage point I see what arrives at the list - I also see what makes it to the list and what doesn't. is much more easy going than I am! He allows things to the list that I would personally bounce - that's just the difference between us - all people are different and each has his own ideas and opinions. So to start with, I am happy to confirm that I have never seen any evidence whatsoever that has ever censored anything sent to the list with the exception of advertising material, SPAM, and flames. And in most cases when he HAS done that, he has posted a message telling what he did and why - which is not something I see other moderators doing very often on their lists - that's no bad reflection on them, it's just to say that I think is going out of his way to be fair as he sees it. Now it really doesn't matter whether you or I agree with his decisions, the fact remains that this is his list and he can do what he likes with it. Anyway, back to ths issue at hand. I didn't want to add to the public argument because to my mind, the worst possible situation for the Rife community in general was to have the list moderators arguing over a silly misunderstanding. All of us implicity rely upon and trust the list moderators whether we realise it or not - so if they are going to start squabbling it doesn't bode well for the rest of us mere mortals! :-) Therefore - I did take to task - and I also took Dave and Bob to task as well, but I did so on a special forum for Rife moderators and people who help maintain the lists, not on the open public lists. So you can rest assured I was being totally consistent! :-) Now in order to set this all straight I'll clarify my own position in all of this and then I'll release some of what I said to the moderators. Firstly the clarification. I did not at any time say that PC generated frequencies were bad or dangerous for anyone. The comments I made in reply to 's posting at the time were largely disagreeing with him in specific details or adding technical points which I thought would help people to understand what was at issue. I did agree with him on a few specific points: 1. That spurious sounds in Windows could give a user a jolt. Since people have complained openly on the lists of exactly this I don't see that there is much to take issue with. The point of rasing it was that anyone considering a PC solution needs to take this kind of thing into account and be prepared for it. Unfortunately many people just DON'T take adequate precautions before jumping into things. 2. That I had not seen any proper medical studies done on the use of this kind of equipment. Well, I haven't - so what more can I say? 3. That a PC generated frequency program wouldn't come close to the stability and accuracy of a professional piece of medical equipment. There's really not much anyone can dispute in that, is there? Most (truly professional) medical devices rely on heavily shielded, super accurate frequency sources - where frequencies are important. Things like Rubidium sources and atomic oscillators are not uncommon. And by " professional " I understand this to mean the kind of equipment used in hospitals and major public research laboratories. 4. That it was a good idea to always check the real output with an oscilloscope and frequency counter. It is a good idea - half the software on my own machines doesn't do what I want it to do or think it does and I'm an expert in the field! There's no reason why I would trust my health to a program without checking it when I don't trust my data to various programs without checking them! :-) 5. That not all frequencies that could be produced are advantageous to the body. I mentioned WHY I thought that in outline and today I posted a very detailed explanation of that same point to both the other Rife lists if anyone wants more information. So I didn't agree with anything particularly controversial. Now in my message to the list moderators I quite emphatically pointed out that I did not endorse 's generic implication that all PC generator programs were dangerous. But I did say that I understood what he was TRYING to say. The reason I understand is because I have discussed several issues at length with in private. We don't always agree - but that's life - at least we can tell each other what we think. Now the point was trying rather badly to make, relates to the quality and reliability of so-called Rife devices. There is a lot of stuff on the open market all blatantly advertised as " Rife " and very little of it has any relation to Rifes work in any way, shape or form. Amongst all that stuff are a lot of highly dubious devices. What wants to do (and I commend him for it) is to make a master database of all equipment that CLAIMS to be Rife related and to put objective and informed commentary about all the claims alongside it. This project is still in the formative stage - has already asked various people who have real knowledge and experience with some of this stuff to give him their objective assessments - and I'm quite sure there are people whom he hasn't asked as yet whom he intends to ask in the near future as things get going. And for the sake of complete fairness intends to allow the manufacturers of this equipment equal " air time " to put their cases as well. The idea is to endup with a comphensive guide for ordinary inexperienced or unknowledgeable users about what can be trusted or not. To my mind this is a very worthy project and long overdue. For the last few years has gone to a lot of trouble to contact various medical people, researchers and manufacturers of equipment which is already approved in Europe in order to get information about what can be used legally and safely - at least in Europe, if not most of the world. And this really is a different world to the home user in for example the US who has to make do with a PC and tangle of self- built equipment which has to be used in secret because of government suppression. Rife stuff IS still frowned on in the UK but I could easily go to Holland or Germany or most other European countries for treatment under proper medical supervision. So bearing this in mind - if you spent a lot of time talking to people who have managed to get approval for devices through intensive research, proper clinical trials and whom in some cases have proof of each and every claim made - and who tell you that wiring yourself up to your PC is not a good idea - would you take their word over that of Joe Bloggs (who has no medical traning or experience whatsoever) who uses the speaker of his PC to treat himself and claims that it's totally safe on the grounds that he hasn't managed to kill himself yet? does, and I don't blame him. But having said that, I don't always agree with the professionals and there might be cases in which Joe Bloggs is right and the so- called " experts " are wrong. Personally I take each case on its own merits and rely on my OWN knowledge and judgement. Where I don't know, I try to find out. And I always recommend this same course of action to anyone. So what I'm saying is that I'm not , I don't necessarily agree with him - but I DO understand where he's coming from and why. And I also know that he shares the same ideals as other significant people in the Rife game - such as Jimmy Holman for example, whom I respect and whom I know goes to great lengths to help people free of charge and who wants to help ordinary people from being taken by a ride by quacks and sharks - just like . So for me it's a shame that people like and Jimmy are at each other's throats - I know they have more in common than either of them do! And that leads me on to what I said to the moderators, which I'll quote below - I'll answer the rest of your message separately: =========== Hi Bob, Dave, etc. I would just like to make a few comments on this PC frequency generation question because I disagree with all of you! :-) Firstly a couple of technical points to Dave: Re: Your post to Rife list I know what you're saying, but unfortunately that is NOT the whole truth, the WHOLE truth would require a book in itself. Also, your post never appeared on the web archive on Rifers so I never saw it prior to your posting on 's list. Please check the Rifer's web archive. I don't have the original IBM PC (8088) circuit diagram any more, but I do have the AT diagram. The speaker output is NOT or'ed with the timer output on the AT it's anded, and the speaker gate line does not come from an 8255, it's generated with disrete TTL buffers on the data bus. This doesn't make much difference in practical operation but if we're going for full technical accuracy and the WHOLE truth, this should be mentioned. Now I'm not nit picking, there is a good reason for mentioning that different machines have different hardware as I will explain. Now, I am perfectly well aware that you can gate the speaker output under software control to avoid reliance on the 8253 (or 8254 in the case of the AT) chip. Many years ago, in the mid to late 1980's I was developing a whole range of simple frequency generation circuits for various applications and I looked at just about every possible way of doing it including using the PC speaker circuit. I wrote various little utilities to do just that (in assembler). One of the applications was on behalf of a major international software company that had a specialised market but wanted a cheap solution to a simple hardware problem that was under PC control. So I wrote and tested my routine on an AT and an original real IBM PC and it worked fine. I then took it to the offices of this company, set it up, and the bloody thing went berserk and wouldn't work at all. I ended up trying it on about a dozen different machines at this company - it worked on 2 of them - the other 10 or so it wouldn't. It turned out they were all proprietary motherboards by various manufacturers - what had happened is that several companies, looking to cut costs on proprietary boards had decided they could safely " appropriate " some little used I/O lines on the original PC spec, and the speaker gate was one of them - these boards did NOT have any gate circuit on the speaker output.. Now you probably have never come across this for one good reason - you are in the US. I'm not, I'm in Europe. In the mid 80's PC's over here were horrendously expensive (compared to the US) and nobody could afford real IBM machines - for example an IBM PC cost around $7000 whilst a cheap proprietary machine would cost around $2000 - and the proprietary machines usually ran faster than the IBM. So there was a glut of these cheap proprietary machines all over Europe and most people had them. Of course, nowadays just about EVERYTHING comes from China and for some reason the Chinese boards seem to be more standard than the early European ones! So the point I'm trying to make is that there is no guarantee that the gating method will work on ALL machines - particularly older European ones - and it is really not safe to make ANY assumptions about the hardware of so-called " standard " PC's. Now of course this isn't going to affect any of US - but it could cause problems for inexperienced and non-technical people - who are the real target audience in this case. Also please remember that the Rife lists have an international audience, not just the US - things are very different for some of us than they are for you, no matter how much they superficially look the same. And by extension, there are people in 3rd world countries who have even more differences than either of us. Assuming that there are no hardware anomalies, the method you mention should work. HOWEVER, there are caveats. Firstly a pure software only routine will not run reliably under Windows (which was the context of the query) because Windows will try to multitask and will corrupt the timing loop of the software. So any such software will need to be booted separately under old real mode DOS or even made into a custom boot. And if the software relies on the default hardware timing of the standard PC user clock it will have even lower resolution than the timer hardware solution. Secondly, if the software relies on a single bit output it must suffer from the same increment problem as the timer does - the question is whether the software increment can be made finer than the hardware one. If someone is using a very old PC with I/O cycle limitations then this may become a significant problem. If they have a fast modern PC then it'll probably be O.K. - but again the general context of such questions is important, most people are asking about running such things on old machines. Also a pure software solution WILL need to be calibrated - you can't make assumptions based on default clocks and cycles because some people use overclocked boards, some hardware reports false clock speeds and finally some specialised processors use multiplexed cycles. An ordinary user who isn't a PC hardware expert may never realise that the output frequency could be radically different to what they think it is. Whatever solution is used to generate the timings the wave shape of the final output will depend on numerous other factors such as the driver slew rate (the PC speaker driver is an old power driver, low bandwidth) and the cabling used. The cabling itself most probably will pick up stray RF emissions from the motherboard and other peripherals as well as mains noise etc. So what you get in practice is never simple - it may be irrelevant if you're using it to drive something like an ignition coil machine because the HF won't make it through the coil - but if you're applying it directly to the skin, can anybody guarantee that it will be absolutely safe? Now I have never said that computer generated signals were dangerous per se (aside to ) - what I HAVE said is that I don't know how SAFE such signals are if applied directly to the skin (given that they contain various RF interference harmonics etc) - and that is the honest truth - I really DON'T know, and I suspect neither does anyone else. The fact that nobody has stood up and said " I tried it and it nearly killed me " doesn't mean that it was unconditionally harmless. For all we know the people who DID try it and whom it was harmful for could be all dead now and in no condition to warn the rest of us! :-) So what I have said before, and will say in the future to anyone who asks, is that I can't recommend such solutions, because I don't know how safe they are. The fact that I don't RECOMMEND them, does not imply in any way that I disapprove of them or would try to stop anyone using them. What I would do is try to warn everyone that with any line of experimentation - and let's face it, this IS experimentation - there may be risks and it's incumbent on everyone to weigh the pros and cons for themselves, and it's not up to any of us (Rife researchers) to make decisions for them. The best we can do for anyone is to educate them in facts to the best of our ability, and within reason given that we can't give every single enquirer a full technical course. I would hope that all of us can at least agree that this is a worthy principle. Now I can see shades of a division here between you guys on this issue of cheap user machines and " professional " units. The real truth lies somewhere in the middle as always. I have always been a strong advocate of cheap home built solutions - I have published a design for an original and low cost machine as you all know - and not only one at that, which is a damn sight more than most people have done! I have also privately sent schematics and technical suggestions for low cost devices to many people. And if anyone cares to check back through the archives you will find public postings from me to Fred Walter describing the DDS algorithm and how it could be applied with a handful of passive components to generate dead accurate frequencies via the PC parallel port. I have never made a penny from Rife research (it's all but bankrupted me!) and I can't be accused of having any proprietary interest because I have none. Having said that, I do honestly believe that the majority of things that inexperienced people are knocking up in their garages are at best questionable and in some cases dangerous - and yes, I have seen a few real examples unfortunately. On the other side of the coin, many so-called " professional " units are just as bad if not outright cons. People are selling a $10 handful of components for thousands of dollars with the most ridiculous rationales. I would dearly love to put a stop to that, because I find it personally and morally offensive, but the fact is that I can't, all I can do is, as usual, try to educate people enough and hope that they make a sensible decision for themselves. Now once again, I would hope that all of us can agree on this as a basic principle. To Dave and Bob, you need to remember that is not an engineer and what is technically obvious to us as engineers may not be to him. If someone apparently reputable tells that their device is professionally produced and guaranteed safe and that all PC driven solutions are dangerous, he is probably not in a position to disagree. So what I would say is that we should all be a little more tolerant - the whole idea of these lists is communication - let''s communicate instead of arguing! So specifically I would say to Dave and Bob, instead of arguing with it would be much better to try helping him with technical support. And to , I have to say, firstly you need to either stop relying on anonymous " experts " or disclose who they are and give specific details of any arguments they want to raise - at least to people that can be trusted. You know exactly what I think of some of the anonymous " experts " who have advised you in the past! It gives the wrong impression when you quote something as being authoritative from some person who apparently will not stand up and give his real name - I say " apparently " because it's the perception that counts. I know that some of the people you're in contact with don't want to post on the lists - neither do I sometimes, for the same reason - because I don't want to be associated with some of the rubbish that makes it to the lists! But that aside if someone makes a claim, regardless of whether they post it themselves or not, they should be prepared to back it up at least by putting their name to it. It's a tricky area as I can understand both sides of the coin. But at the end of the day true science of any description is subject to review - anyone claiming to be a scientist who will not stand up and put his name to his claims openly is NO scientist. Taking the flak from ignorant people is an occupational hazard in the science game. But in the rife field where there are all kinds of covert operations, from government agencies to unscrupulous vendor " hit squads " anonymity is a luxury we can't really afford if we want to engage the public trust. Secondly I think banning discussion of the PC topic on your list was a bad idea. I understand exactly why you did it, (and after all we must all remember that it's 's list and he can do with it what he wants). But the reasons why it was a bad idea are twofold: Firstly it can (and has been) interpreted as censorship - regardless of what it is, once again the perception counts. Secondly - and the major reason in my view - if we limit discussion of any topic then we will never stand any chance of getting to the truth. It's far better to discuss something like this and get all the misconceptions and misinformation out in the open where it can be dealt with by people who really DO know the answers. If we don't openly discuss issues like this then the misinformation gets out of hand and the situation ends up worse. Finally to Bob and Dave, I know where you're coming from, but I also know where 's coming from. I think it would have been more productive to clarify the situation personally offlist before getting to the point of making it a major issue on open posts. To me it looks like all of you have opposite ends of the stick and are going to extremes. Forgive me for saying so, but I hope we're all friends here and at least can be frank and honest with each other. From my own point of view I think it's time to stand back, take a deep breath and count to ten and then try to acknowledge what I would hope we can all agree on as facts, and that is: 1. All of us want to see the Rife technology developed and improved upon and publicly recognised. 2. Open squabbles between list moderators damages the credibility of the whole Rife movement. 3. Having different personal opinions does not make us enemies. It would be a boring world if we all agreed on everything! :-) 4. None of us is in any position to say that anything in general is unconditionally harmful, nor can we say that it's unconditionally safe either. With regards to the latter, my own policy is to err on the side of caution. Finally on an indirectly related front, I have done hundreds of experiments with Rife equipment of all kinds. I haven't released most of my results (or even bothered to record them in detail for most) because I get all kinds of weird anomalous things happening. At the moment my focus is on getting something reproducible and objective. However, I have done a lot of experiments on samples of things like moulds in Petri dishes. Time and again I've found that specific frequencies seem to inhibit growth, but equally I've found that being just a little bit off the inhibiting frequency (a few hertz in most cases) causes stimulation and enhanced growth of the samples. The factors that determine the difference between stimulation and growth are not confined to frequency - duty cycle makes a difference and frequency jitter can have some strange side effects. Taking all this into account - despite the fact that I DON'T believe that the Rife effect is purely due to specific frequencies - I can say that I am very wary of frequency inaccuracy and instability in any shape or form and would strongly recommend to ANYONE who wants to experiment or treat themselves with unverified devices that they should test the output for accuracy and waveform - and if they can't test it themselves, take it to someone who can. The argument that a couple of Hertz out probably doesn't matter is absolutely contrary to my experience. For the record Jim Bare ran a series of experiments about a year ago based on one of mine and got similar results, some frequencies inhibited and some frequencies stimulated growth. On that basis I think it would be at least prudent to acknowledge in public postings that there are potentially harmful frequencies and that we should all be very cautious before recommending anything which might actually do people harm - regardless of whether it's been helpful for us personally, because all people are different. Anyway, that's all I wanted to say. I hope everybody will take it in the spirit in which it is intended. And I hope we can all get back to cooperating to achieve the goal we all (hopefully) share.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2002 Report Share Posted July 6, 2002 Hello again Johan, Yes, you are being exposed to frequencies all the time. But the frequencies alone are not the only factor. Intensity is important too, time of exposure is important as well. There is enormous controversy over just this issue - government agencies are fighting with private lobbies and manufacturers over whats safe and what's not. They still haven't come to any final agreement but it's worth noting a few points: 1. In the UK last April a government commission ordered the British radiological protection board to admit that exposure to power line frequencies can cause cancer. This is a world first. 2. About 5 years ago the EPA in the US lobbied (unsuccesfully) to have power line frequencies declared as " a possible human carcinogen " 3. At the present time various mobile phone and telecomms operators are fighting in courts around the world against lawsuits from people (many good scientists behind them) who believe there is ample evidence that various radio frequencies cause cancer and other diseases. 4. Just about everybody agrees that exposure to RF can harm you at some level - which makes perfect sense since enough RF can cook you literally! Now the area which has NOT been researched is the very low frequency range - audio frequencies and the like. But consider this - in EVERY range of emission that has been studied to date, some evidence has emerged of harmful effects. So on the basis of probability alone what is the chance that this range is uniquely safe out of all the rest? Don't get me wrong - it MAY be perfectly safe - but the simple answer is we don't know if it's safe or not, or if it MAY be harmful, just HOW harmful and under what conditions? And it's that " don't know " that bothers me. Consider this by analogy: If you go out into a field and see some mushrooms growing and you have heard that some people have improved their health by eating specific mushrooms under specific conditions - would you then randomly pick any mushroom and eat it? I think for most (sane! :-)) people the answer would be no! Now contrary to popular belief MOST mushrooms are nowhere near as toxic as most people think - but some of them will kill you in an instant. But that still doesn't make it safe. And here is a very interesting example. The shaggy ink cap mushroom is perfectly safe to eat (and I'm told) it's delicious. BUT the shaggy ink cap contains a very unusual alkaloid that reacts in the presence of alcohol to form a deadly poison. You are perfectly safe eating as many shaggy ink caps as you want - BUT if you just happen to finish the meal with a nice glass of wine - you're dead - period! Now this raises an interesting point - is there any possibility that exposing oneself to some apparently curative frequency that is safe in itself may cause some condition in the body that could be lethal or at least dangerous in combination with some other event? The answer is we don't know - so in effect we're back to eating unknown mushrooms. How many people have been adversely affected by direct frequencies? We don't know, the people who WERE adversely affected may never have realised the frequency was in any way responsible. And the ones who died were not in any position to send a post-mortem email to the lists to warn the rest of us! :-) Yes, I'm exaggerating (I hope!) but I think I'm making a valid point. There is too much that we don't know about this whole field. Some of us are trying to find out but we won't get the answers tomorrow - maybe not even this century! So in the meantime given all the options do we blindly go ahead and hope that its safe or do we at least take whatever reasonable precautions we can to ensure our own safety? Me - I'm cautious. To go back to the analogy - would you trust your next door neighbour if he/she made a meal with unknown mushrooms and invited you to dinner? Would you have that much confidence in your next door neighbour's ability to correctly determine one mushroom from another (assuming your neighbour is not a mushroom expert that is!). And if your neighbour is, then ask yourself the same question if it was your bank manager, the mechanic at the local garage and so on. What kind of a risk would you be prepared to take? Now there are many people on the lists, I daresay there are a few neighbours, bank managers and garage mechanics - if they tell you that all frequencies are safe do you unconditionally believe them? It seems that most people do - I rarely see people asking for any kind of solid evidence or proof of claims made. Now we shouldn't mistrust people, but at the same time people can fool themselves, someone can quite honestly believe they're telling the truth - but once again are you prepared to risk your life that they are? If you hurt yourself based on what they say, will " sorry I was mistaken " be good enough at the end of the day? The other side of the coin is can you trust anyone who tells you that frequencies are dangerous - and the answer is basically no for the same reasons as above. So when it's all said and done - who can you trust? The answer to that is simple - trust yourself! Do your own research, check things out, ask questions, don't take silly answers for granted, ask for proof, be a pain in the ass if you have to be - some people won't like you for it - but then again what's more important, your life or whether people think you're a pain? :-) Finally, Mozart may be great for you at a concert. But f you play Mozart into your bloodstream via electric pads will that be better for you? If one aspirin does you good, is taking 100 aspirins 100x better? The answers as always are never simple. The frequency alone isn't the issue - it's how it's applied and in what form and at what intensity. Mozart on a home hi-fi may be great. Mozart played into an industrial power amp at 200dB and 1 inch separation is going to break every bone in your body and turn your internal organs into jelly! Mozart modulated on a 2.4Ghz 1KW Microwave stream will cook you. So does that mean Mozart is bad? I always tell people to use common sense, do your own reasearch, don't take my word for it or anybody else's, go out, do some reading - and read both sides of every argument before making judgements. Do your own experiments if possible. The only real choice any of us have in this world is whether we take control of our own lives or just drift along and let others make the decisions for us. Hope that helps. Best wishes Aubrey > Now to my dilemma. When I sit in front of my TV, am I exposed to sound > waves, i.e. frequencies?

When I placed the oscilloscope probe to different objects, such as the wall, chair, my shirt, etc., there were various slight increases in amplitude, but when I placed it on either of our bare skin, the amplitude when off the screen. I would say that this is an indication that there is an absorption of the output of the device. The same happens when I touch the probe to the CB antenna that we have hanging on the wall by the door.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2002 Report Share Posted July 7, 2002 What were the Volts/Div setting on the Y channel ? Did you try the same experiment without the phanotron running ? Oscilloscopes are very sensitive pieces of kit and you can get an off the scale reading just by sticking a piece of wire in the probe. My scope goes down to 0.1v/Div. This means that off the screen readings are possible with voltages as low as 0.8v which is about the voltage of a flat battery from a tourch.. When you think how much static electricity the human body is carrying, tens of thousands of volts in some cases, it's no wonder your readings jumped off the scale. Without a controlled test, I'm not sure your readings prove anything - sorry ! Joe.

When I placed the oscilloscope probe to different objects, such as the wall, chair, my shirt, etc., there were various slight increases in amplitude, but when I placed it on either of our bare skin, the amplitude when off the screen. I would say that this is an indication that there is an absorption of the output of the device. The same happens when I touch the probe to the CB antenna that we have hanging on the wall by the door.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2002 Report Share Posted July 7, 2002 Hi Aubrey, thank-you for putting out your message here that you originally put out on the Rife moderators list. > So for me it's a shame that people like and Jimmy are at each > other's throats - I know they have more in common than either of them > do! As you know Jimmy Holmann better than I do. I trust your statement that he is otherwise a good guy. My comments were not aimed at Jimmy (I was not even aware he sold such equipment at the time) and I found it unfortunate that he attacked me in the way he did. In my reply, I simply looked at each of Jimmys statements and replied to them. That is history, now. I personally hold no grudge against Jimmy Holmann and he is welcome to continue to post in this forum in a responsible way. It is up to Jimmy to respond in a similar way. I also replied to Aubrey's message in the moderators list and I enclose that reply at the bottom of this message so that everyone can get the full story. I also want to reply to the message from Johan when he makes the following statement: > First, I have to get this off my chest, and please don't take this > personally. , you're good at back-pedalling. You'll do well in > politics - no offense. Aubrey Scoon, I like your reasoning ability but you > must be consistent. Some time ago you took Dick Lloyd to task for making > " unsubstantiated and unscientific " assumptions about the F-scan, however, > you let get away with " I was informed/told by " statements, > without any backup. Empirical evidence? I do not consider myself good at politics at all. I made the following major mistakes which brought on this entire mess: 1. I did not make it clear enough at the start that I was only requesting the subject be dropped. This led to some people understanding it as a ban. This is not some kind of back-peddling, that was my true intention. 2. Instead of making it clear I was only talking about the quality of the PC speaker hardware, I made the mistake of mentioning " software solutions " which has a much broader meaning! 3. I did not put the matter straight as fast and as clearly as I should have. Regarding my scientific sources. I did clearly name one of them (Prof. Szasz) and mentioned that I am not at liberty to disclose the names of all of them due to non-disclosure agreements. I respect such agreements which allow me access to information on modern developments I would otherwise not have. I known that Aubrey Scoon, for example, is also in a similar situation. If it is preferred, by the people on this list, that I not pass on knowledge gained through these agreements simply because I am not allowed to name the scientists by name (who I can personally vouch for), then fine. You guys will simply no longer be informed! Just remember that you will be censoring me and thereby learning less of what is happening here in Europe, etc. It is your decision. One thing I have learned from all this. In Europe it is up to the manufacturer to prove that all equipment is safe to use before it can be sold. This is certified on every device by the " CE " emblem on all technical devices and the " medical CE " emblem, shown with the number of the certifying institute, for all medical equipment. In the USA, it appears that the companies offering Rife devices are not subject to any need to prove their equipment is safe as long as they say it is experimental. Should anyone make the slightest statement that something may just be a little bit questionable, that person is attacked and asked to prove the unit is unsafe! No evidence is offered that it is safe - it is up to the user to prove that it is not! Here is the message I originally posted in the Rife forum moderators list in answer to Aubreys message. I also started and run that forum to improve comunications between forum moderators. I have removed some parts of the message aimed at Bob only.

I don't remember what the settings were at the lab, but I have the oscilloscope here at home with me and I just tried it again. There's definitely a signal when I touch the probe to my skin without a frequency device running, but what I saw at the lab with the frequency device running was an increase in the square wave envelope compared to the probe just hanging in free space. When I take the probe away here without a device running, there's no signal. Touching the probe to a piece of wire here didn't send the signal off the scale, but as I said, when I touched it to the CB antenna at the lab, it sent it off the scale just like when I touched it to my skin. Perhaps all of this doesn't prove anything, but I thought it was an interesting observation nonetheless. Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
