I need a favour - Any one know about Royal Raymond Rife? [View all]

When you have an incurable disease (MS in my case) you get exposed to all the worst quackery that charlatans have to offer - everything from magic bracelets to chakra-realignment to Jebus.

A good friend of mine (who also has MS) is fired up at the moment about the evils of Big Pharma and how they want to keep us all sick because it's profitable blah blah...

He's writing to his MP and offering this as evidence:



Now I know nothing about Royal Raymond Rife and don't know enough science to counter this but I care about my friend and don't want him to get the impression that I think he's an idiot, because he isn't.

We're all familiar with the "Drug Companies are suppressing the cure to everything" conspiracy paranoia, but have you seen this Rife stuff before? The whole film looks like a well-done, elaborate hoax

Free Ear Candle (sorry, Thermo-Auricular Device) to anyone who can lead me through this one.

Thanks.
