As a person trained in electronics and maths (and i'm sure there are others here too), it is worth knowing that a square wave may appear square, but it can be made up mathematically and in actuality by a combination of waves - all sinusoidal harmonics of the original square signal. This is called Fourier Analysis and is fun in an intellectual manner (to me anyway). So a square wave of 326Hz will actually have lots of 978Hz (3xf), 1630Hz (5xf) and 7xf etc. sine waves overlaid on a 326Hz sine wave, adding together and cancelling out to provide a square result. They also have differing amplitudes to do that, but the individual frequencies could have independent effects. A sine wave is easier to produce as it is a natural event occurring in resonance. Square waves are a forced condition, but either is easily manufactured - see "Signal generator" "Function generator". I don't have the time to research it all at present, but The rife thingo sounds like it will produce electro-magnetic radiation of some kind (radio, light, mico-wave etc.) so is a potential worry and you'd need to know...  Sound and the zapper should be capable of minimal damage unless used non-sensibly. Ted  There’s nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as messing around in boats.

Hey guys
I don't get the feeling that there are too many positive vibes out there about what I have achieved. Sure there is a risk and I am prepared to take that risk in a controlled way. My options were very limited as of 6 months ago. I had the option of totally fusing up
in the next 5 years and being housebound or close to it or taking nasty stuff at the hospital which is being feed in through a vein for several hours a week. That also carried no guarantee and I was told that they had "lost" a couple of patients over the last 12 months due to infections.
Maybe some of you are not that seriously damaged enough to look at this technology with an open mind. I am not asking everybody to rush about looking for a rife machine bit this technology is here and it works. The machnie described in ZARKS post is not a rife machine but a small signal generator with several freq's built in to it. This is a very limited machine (very) and I seriously doubt its ability to do anything. I also have a BECK BIOELECTRIFIER (zapper) which I use to pilse the wrists and a BECK MAG-GENERATOR. These are good and a first look at electromedicine but should be confused with Rife.
Rife technology has been around for years now and apart from an odd case of death through total over use ( person fell asleep whilst using machine, then hooked up for 7 hours plus) there are no reported problems if used correctly. For the first time in years I am on an upward curve and I don't know of anybody who has got movement back in a fused spine, outside of surgery!
My intention was to bring this to the attention of all with A.S. for the good of us all. I have done that, what you all want to make of it is up to you. It is not my intention to kill myself with this stuff or to make myself any worse than I am, the doctors and the illness can do that.
My poor health was no doubt a factor in me trying this technology, I had no where else to go apart from down.
Please do all the research, do all the double checks on all the stuff out there and please be safe, but give it a chance.
Rick

Hi Rick, somehow i posted the same post twice so i deleted. I am happy that you have regained flexibility and would not wish to present argument against the method - i have experimented marginally with my own "Zapper". I won't go anywhere near a high power EM generator - i spend time trying to get away from excess EM waves and strong magnetic fields.. I am positive to sonic/ultrasonic vibration and expressed my IGNORANCE about how anything will differentiate between bone and deposited Calcium. I have no time at present to research these machines, but do not wish to denigrate them. After all, this is the ALTERNATIVES forum. (glad you posted on the main forum too) I will however highlight any dangers (exactly as i do with NSAIDs) and will always wish to look for an explanation of what this technology is doing to the body and how any one frequency can be selected - and selective...

Hi
There are no Electro Magnetics invoved in RIFE euipment, it is sound and ultra sound only. The BECK MAG pulser uses EM in very short bursts, I do have one of those machines and it is nothing to do with RIFE.
The sound wave is either delivered through the air using a neon/argon type tube or by direct contact with a pad. The sound waves pass right through walls as well as anything in it's path. A bit like your radio.

Rick, I found this to be very interesting indeed. I have one question - why are the medical professionals not using it as a standard treatment for AS fusion? I'm not a doubter - I have a scientific / engineering background - and have significant fusion in neck and SI's and would give alot to get that movement back. However - at 32 years old I do not wish to embark on anything that would jeopardise my health further, given that I work fine, and am very active still playing tennis. Any thoughts from anyone on that question welcomed. Next time I see my rheumatologist - which is rare these days, I will ask him about it. Cheers Jo

Rick there is no point in an argument here, i see on the Rife site that "Beam ray" is used a lot. The equipment photos clearly show high voltage vacuum (or low pressure) jars used to produce Electro-Magnetic radiation. It is probable that low energy EM waves are emitted via the energy of a stream of electrons hitting that mirrored plate, but they could produce radio, light frequency and even UV. You mention neon/argon used - these are in no way applicable for sound, but are as we all know used for visible light frequencies in the ElectroMagnetic radiation medium. The pads seem the way to go as radiation was not clearly known in 1930's. I hope you can learn and tell me more about the carrier. It seems like the other instruments you mention may use other technology, just like the zapper. Fine, get to know the technology - various energies are pulsed at or onto our bodies. We can choose which ones are acceptable only if we know what they are. If something travels through walls it is more likely to be an energy phenomenon (like radio - an ElectroMagnetic radiation) rather than a physical vibration - sound. I am truly pleased and respect that you have gained flexibility while using your devices, but please understand that i would wish to know much more about any device before i tried it. For example, the zapper can produce small electrical signals in the body directly from an electrical source and it is well known that these can kill bacteria. I would not like those same electrical currents if they were to be produced via irradiation or a magnetic field. I'll back off and just follow the thread.

I agree with you Funksterman (Jo).
I need a little more persuading, and information before trying this. I have significant fusion and the fusions are progressing rapidly.
I am concerned about the side effects and the possible physical damage this could do.
I would really like to get some movement back into the fused joints, but what is the cost, both money and health.
Remember that I am not an expert, but there are differing levels of fusion, which lead up to complete fusion where there is no joint anymore. Also that bone density can deminish once a joint becomes fused. How is this machine going to differentiate between the calcifications and the real bones. My other concern is that it may cause microfractures, which may not show up for years, and then cause a massive problem.
Sorry that I am a bit sceptical, but I need more convincing. I will do a bit of research myself.
Also a question for you Ricky, how fused were you really. What I am trying to do is to compare your fusion with mine. Again to assess the risks. My neck has been fused for about 7 or so years.
Thanks for your experiences and I am glad to hear that it has helped you emensely.
Take Care Wayne

Hi guys
In answer to wayne and others.
The machine I have is of the pad type, I myself was a little "iffy" about subjecting myself to the tube type of device as I do not know enough to assure myself of the saftey of such a device. The device has a piezo head that physically vibrates causing the sound/ultrasound to enter my body where I press it.
Why doctors do not use this treatment as standard for AS sufferers, I don't know for sure but there was a hell of a lot of suppression when it was invented if you believe all the stories plus many conspiracy theories. Please read all the stuff about royal rife and make your own judgements.
In answer to wayne, how bad was my fusion. Recent x-ray and physical tests show that I was fused solid fromL1 to T6 , with much blurring on the plates all the rest of the way up.I had very poor movement when turning my head from side to side, so much so that last year I was wondering how I was going to continue to drive as leaving a junction was difficult. Doing any serious exercise was getting harder as there was so little movement anywear, especially the one where you slide your hands down either side. My ribs had not much expansion and I had not had what I called a deep breath for a number of years. The tape measure revealed that my bend over" measurement was zero and had been for at least 5 years and my appearance was hunched, with my chin ever jutting forward.
My back had a permenant curve and my chest was sunk in. Classic AS.
26 years of this illness had damaged my body very bad but not my positive attitude. I have hardly had a day without pain since this started, no periods of remission, just the odd day here and there when it felt half as bad. I run my own busuness and still work full time. I work 50 hours at least and it is physical work, some of it over a bench, which is not helpful to our condition.
I have a loving wife and 2 fantastic children and I want to see them grow up. I took a gamble and it is paying off. I don't have all the answers but I am getting better and I cherish everyday. I can do things now I could only dream of 12 months ago. I have no other interest in this technology other than to make you all aware of it.
Read all the stuff available and join one of the rife forums. Talk to people who have been using this technology for the last 5 years to cure all kinds of illnesses.
It is good that you guys are skeptical, I had to do it all on my own. I hope you all can benefit in time.
For now I will continue to kill off my klebsiella and candida and see how much mobility I can claim back. Hopefully I will not need to use this stuff all my life, but for now it is my way forward.
As I said before I do not have all the answers but I will answer your questions the best way I can.
I was an incredibly active guy, AS has cut my active life to shreads. That for me was as bad as the illness itself. My best friend leads a different life to me, he plays no sport and does nothing apart from work at a desk job and watch t.v. or mess around on his computer. He has joked with me in the past that if he had AS all he would have to bear would be the pain. I like to ski, cycle, fish, cricket, golf, football, dance and tennis, all stuff I hadn't done in years. And I was good at most of them which in a way made it worse.
I know I am the guinea pig but it is something I am comfortable with.
So please read all the site , glean all the info out there.
Rick

Ricky,
Thanks for your response, I did not expect you to answer my questions. It is something inside us that says "becareful". Your experiences with AS, sound all too similar, my body is fusing up at a rapid rate, and my range of motion is deminishing rapidly.
Nothing so far has halted it.
I will do what you suggest, join one of the RIFE forums (can you suggest one). I need to make myself comfortable with the technology and trying it. It is a leap of faith that I am not ready for yet.
Thanks again for your experiences. Take Care Wayne
