"The End of All Diseases": an Obscure San Diego Genius Develops a Cure for Cancer in 1930 R. E. Payne

In every generation men arise who perform wonders for a time and then are lost to history. Royal Raymond Rife is such a man. Rife, the subject of numerous front-page stories in the San Diego Evening Tribune was also featured in the Los Angeles Times in 1931, under the heading of "What's New in Science." Time and prejudice have destroyed much of his story but enough remains to piece together what happened. Rife invents the most powerful microscope in the world, the only one that can see viruses alive. The invention of the microscope leads Rife to the invention of his "electronic antibiotic" in 1930. Rife is looking at live diseased organisms through his microscope and then irradiating them with radio frequencies.  After the organisms are bombarded, they are dead, incapable of producing disease. Diseases cured harmlessly and without drugs! Now begins the story of how the pharmaceutical cartel, hospitals, the insurance industry, the autocratic leader of the AMA, the U. S. Government and a handful of other special interest prevent Rife's device from being tested by approved independent laboratories. Their issue is nothing less than their own survival.
