The Earthshaking Discoveries of Gaston Naessens:

 

* A MICROSCOPE that permits practitioners to view living matter at

degrees of resolution far greater than state–of–the–art microscopes

currently available.

 

* THE SOMATID, an ultramicrosopic subcellular living and

reproducing entity, which many scientists believe is the precursor of

DNA and which may be the building block of all terrestrial life.

 

* THE SOMATID CYCLE — visible in the blood of every human — which,

when properly interpreted, can prediagnose degenerative diseases by up

to eighteen months.

 

* 714–X, a compound that has restored the perfect health of 750

out of 1,000 cancer victims and that has had equally dramatic effects

with AIDS patients.

Appendix A

What Has Become of the Rife Microscope?

by Christoper Bird

 

Originally published in New Age Journal (March 1976)

 

This article, like an embryo or any living thing, is still growing. A

continuum of this growth may depend upon the assistance of N.A.J.

readers, their colleagues, and their friends.

 

Originally I intended to write a short note on what was known about

the Rife microscope. Precious little is in print on the subject.

 

One day, while waiting for some material to come up from the cellar

stacks of the National Library of Medicine in Bethesda Maryland,

considerably frustrated by the lack of leads and data concerning the

demise of the Rife microscope, I wandered by the Subject card

catalogue and casually flipped at random to a card in the middle of a

drawer labeled " Microscopes. "

 

The card was filed under " Allied Industries, " as if that firm was the

author. The company's address was stated to be 4246 Pepper Drive, San

Diego, California. The title referenced was " History of the

Development of a Successful Treatment for Cancer and Other Virus,

Bacteria, and Fungi. "

 

At the bottom of the card was a single line: " Written by Dr. R. R. Rife. "

 

Entirely by accident, I had stumbled upon what looked to be only one

of a series of reports written by Royal Raymond Rife. Fourteen pages

long, it was numbered Dev–1042. It was approved and signed by I.F.

Crane, manager; Don Tully, development associate; and Verne Thompson,

chief electrical engineer.

 

Are any of these gentlemen alive today?

 

Was Allied Industries a research corporation established by Rife?

 

How many other reports did it publish and where are they?

 

The report so riveted my attention that I was compelled to explore

some of the history of microbiology and its connection to cancer and

other disease. The present article, much longer than originally

planned, is thus the result of a fortuitous finding – perhaps an

example of what Jung has called synchronicity – and the consequent

preliminary exploration.

 

Much more needs to be done to tell the story of Rife and his

microscope, a fascinating episode in the history of science.

 

The Microscope of Microscopes

 

In February 1944, the Franklin institute of Philadelphia published an

article, " The New Microscopes, " in its prestigious journal devoted to

applied science.

 

Founded in 1824 by " philosopher–mechanics, " the institute, which

recently made studies in its physics laboratory on the best way to

move the Liberty Bell to its new Bicentennial Year location, is a

smaller analogue of the huge world–famous Smithsonian Institution in

Washington, D.C., which reprinted the same article in its own journal

shortly after its first appearance.

 

Authored by R. E. Seidel, M.D., a Philadelphia physician and his

research assistant, M. Elizabeth Winter, the essay opened with a

six–page discussion of the electron microscope, which had only

recently been put on the market by the Radio Corporation of America.

This microscope is today standard equipment in modem laboratories.

 

The article closed with a ten–page treatment of a " Universal

Microscope, " the brainchild of a San Diego autodidact, Royal Raymond

Rife, who developed it with the financial assistance of the

rollerbearing and axle magnate Henry H. Timken, for whose family Rife

at one time served as handyman and chauffeur.

 

Rife's scope, the largest model of which consisted of 5,682 parts and

required a large bench to accommodate it, overcame the greatest

disadvantage of the electron microscope, its inability – because tiny

living organisms put in it are in vacuum and subject to protoplasmic

changes induced by a virtual hailstorm of electrons – to reveal

specimens in their natural living state.

 

With his invention, Rife was able to look at living organisms. What he

saw convinced him that germs could not be the cause, but the result,

of disease; that, depending on its state, the body could convert a

harmless bacterium into a lethal pathogen, that such pathogens could

be instantly killed, each by a specific frequency of light; and that

cells, regarded as the irreducible building blocks of living matter,

are actually composed of smaller cells, themselves made up of even

smaller cells, this process continuing with higher and higher

magnification in a sixteen–step, stage–by–stage journey into the

micro–beyond.

 

Though, with the aid of Rife's device, thousands of still pictures and

hundreds of feet of movie films were made to reveal these facts, all

of this material and the Rife microscopes seem to have disappeared

without a trace.

 

Or have they?

 

Calls to the U.S. Armed Forces Institute of Pathology Medical Museum,

which has hundreds of different microscopes in its historical

collection, to the National Library of Medicine's Historical Division,

to the Smithsonian Institution and the Franklin Institute (both

repositories for outstanding scientific inventions) and to a dozen

establishments dealing daily in microscopy elicited from curators,

medical pathologists, physicians, and other scientific specialists

only the complaint that none of them had ever heard of Royal Raymond

Rife and his microscope.

 

What has become of the Rife microscope?

 

The question is not rhetorical. For if even half of the possibilities

described for this astounding discovery are true, a massive effort to

hunt it down and reactivate its potential might not only save billions

of dollars in biological and medical research but open a fascinating

new vista onto the nature of life.

 

From the start, Rife's main goal was to find cures for disease,

especially the most intractable of all diseases, cancer. Because he

had a hunch that some as yet undiscovered microorganism would prove to

play a crucial role in the onset of this malignancy, he tried

unsuccessfully to find one by observing all types of malignant tissue

with a variety of standard research microscopes.

 

In the 1920s it became obvious to Rife that a better means of

scrutinizing the microworld than had been developed was indispensable.

During that decade, he designed and built five microscopes with a

range from 5,000 to 50,000 diameters at a time when the best

laboratory microscopes in use could achieve not more than 2,000

diameters of magnification.

 

At the Rife Research Laboratory on Point Loma, California, he worked

at magnifications of 17,000 and higher, to reveal a host of cells and

microorganisms never before seen and to photograph them. The work

required a saint's patience. It could take the best part of a day to

bring a single target specimen into focus.

 

The Rife microscope had several arresting features. Its entire optical

system of fourteen lenses and prisms, as well as an illuminating unit,

were made of crystal quartz, which is transparent to ultraviolet

radiation. In the scope, light was bent and polarized in such a way

that a specimen could be illuminated by extremely narrow parts of the

whole spectrum, one part at a time, and even by a single frequency of

light.

 

Rife maintained that he could thus select a specific frequency, or

frequencies, of light that coordinated and resonated with a specimen's

chemical constituents so that a given specimen would emit its own

light of a characteristic and unique color. Specimens could be easily

identified, thus solving one of microscopy's greatest bugaboos. It was

control of illumination that turned the trick.

 

Another feature was the Microscopes extraordinary resolution, its

ability to reveal the most minute of component parts of any specimen

so that each may be seen distinctly and separately from the others.

Imagine two extremely thin parallel lines. When they can be clearly

distinguished, you are still within the microscope's range of

resolution. If the parallel lines blur together, high magnification

will only enlarge the distortion and limit of resolution has been

attained. With a resolving power of 31,000 diameters – as against

2,000 to 2,500 for the laboratory microscopes in common use in that

day–Rife's device could focus clearly on five lines of standardized

grid, whereas an ordinary microscope could do no better than examine

fifty lines, and that with considerable aberration. This is somewhat

equivalent to one aerial camera's being able to spot individual houses

in city blocks from a very great height, while another is able only

fuzzily to distinguish the single city blocks themselves,

Controversial Discoveries Beginning in the 1920s and continuing over

seven years, Rife and his colleagues worked on more than 20,000

laboratory cultures of cancer obtained from the Paradise Valley

Sanitarium in National City, California, in what appeared at first to

be a fruitless effort to isolate microorganisms that he felt should

somehow be associated with the disease.

 

Up until then, bacteria had clearly been proven to be linked with a

wide variety of ills including tuberculosis, leprosy, cholera,

gonorrhea, syphilis, typhoid, bubonic plague, pneumonia, and others.

But no one had found them in association with cancer.

 

In contrast to the much smaller viruses, bacteria were widely

considered to be unicellular, monomorphic (meaning one shape and one

shape only) forms. A quarter of a million of them can occupy a space

no larger than the period at the end of this sentence. They come in

various shapes. Cocei are round, bacilli rod–like, to offer two examples.

 

There are various forms for each shape. Of the round–shaped ones,

monococci appear singly, diplococci come in pairs, staphylococci in

clusters resembling a bunch of grapes, streptococci, which under

certain conditions can produce a painful sore throat, in chains.

 

While outside a host, or body, bacteria are hard to raise, or culture.

Each type has been studied as a pure culture type by isolating it upon

a specific nutrient called media.

 

Bacteria also have specific maximum, minimum, and optimum temperatures

in which they will live and multiply. Some, like polar bears, are

addicted to arctic temperatures and even live in ice. Others prefer

water so hot it would kill most animals. A great many enjoy the

temperature of the human body. Millions of them are living,

harmlessly, inside you right now...

 

But they are not always harmless. They can acquire virulence, or the

power to cause disease, under some conditions but not others, although

even today no one knows exactly why.

 

This mystery, in the 1920s, was closely connected to a debate in

microbiology so hot as to seem almost a war. On one side were those

who affirmed – as do many textbooks today – that bacteria were

eternally monomorphic. They could not assume other or smaller forms,

as small, say, as a virus.

 

Originally, virus – the word means " poison " in Latin – was the name

generally applied to any microscopic agent injurious to living cells.

Now it is much more narrowly defined as " one of a unique group of very

small infectious agents that – grow only in cells of animals

(including humans), plants, and also bacteria. "

 

Because they were so small, viruses would pass through filters that

did not allow the passage of bacteria, said to be monomorphic, just as

a net of small enough mesh will allow minnows to pass through it but

bring the fish that are preying upon them up short. It is this

filter–passing ability of viruses that is widely held today – along

with their inability to grow on artificial media – to be one of the

main criteria separating them from bacteria.

 

For several decades, however, another school of microbiologists

maintained that, far from holding everlastingly to one shape, bacteria

were pleomorphic, or form changing. They could be caused, under the

right conditions of culture, to metamorphose into forms small enough

to pass through filters just like viruses.

 

Because of their sharp disagreement on the filterability of bacteria,

the two camps came to be called " filtrationist and " nonfiltrationist. "

 

One of the earliest of the filtrationists was a Swedish physician and

explorer, Ernst Bernhard Almquist, for whom islands off the north

Siberian coast are named. Almquist made hundreds of observations of

pleomorphic bacteria in his laboratory as did researchers in Italy,

Russia, France, Germany, and the United States. In 1922, after two

decades of work, Almquist came to the conclusion that " nobody can

pretend to know the complete life cycle and all the varieties of even

a single bacterial species. It would be an assumption to think so. "

 

Way back in 1914, the American bacteriologist Dr. Edward C. Rosenow

had the gall to assert that bacteria were not unalterable and that

various strains, or what one might call sub–subspecies of them, could,

when suitably treated, become any of the other strains. It was

Rosenow's contention, too, that he found a form of the streptococcus

bacterium which caused poliomyelitis, commonly known as infantile

paralysis.

 

What Rife's opinions were about this heated controversy are not known.

He followed the standard bacteriological practice of the day, first

implanting small patches of cancer tissues on various nutritive media

including a special " K " medium developed by another filtrationist, Dr.

Arthur Isaac Kendall, at the Northwestern University School of

Medicine in Chicago, Illinois. The medium, which bore the first letter

of Kendall's name, seemed to have the faculty of transforming bacteria

into the transitional forms alleged for them by the filtrationist

school, No matter how often he changed menus for his sought–after

cancer microbe, no matter how he altered the temperature of

incubation, Rife seemed unable to coax it to appear in his cultures.

 

It was apparently only when, as a result of his continuing physical

experimentation with the effects of light frequencies, he discovered

that many microbes respond to the effects of light from noble gases,

such as neon, xenon, and argon, by changing their growth patterns that

Rife hit upon a solution to the problem that was nagging him.

 

He placed a sealed test tube containing cancer tissue into a closed

loop filled with argon gas. After creating a vacuum within the loop,

he charged the gas with electricity, just as one does when one throws

the switch to light up the neon lamps in modem offices, though in

Rife's case the charge was 5,000 volts. While he still could not

reveal any microbes, he noted a certain cloudiness in the nutritive

medium, which, through chemical analysis, he ascribed to ionization

caused by the electronic bombardment.

 

Readers may well wonder why he adopted so strange and novel a process.

The question is just as unaswerable as if put about Rife's next step:

In order, he said, to counter the ionization, he placed the tube into

a two–inch water vacuum and heated it for twenty–four hours at near

body temperature.

 

Under his microscope, at 20,000 X, the tube now teemed with animated

forms measuring only 1/20 by 1/15 of a micron–much smaller than any

known bacteria. They refracted a purplish red color in the specific

light beam.

 

He called this form Bacillus X and, later, because it was so much

smaller than other bacilli, and perhaps because of the filterability

controversy, BX virus. This problem of nomenclature can be resolved

herein by referring to Rife's organism as a BX form, or simply BX.

 

Rife writes that " this method of ionization and oxidation brought the

chemical refraction of BX out of the ultraviolet and into the visible

band of the spectrum. Owing to the fact that the test–tube specimens

had gone through so many trials, we again started from scratch and

repeated this method 104 consecutive times with identical results. "

 

Because he could culture his BX form, so small it would pass through

any filter, he seemed to have discovered a filterable form of a

bacterium. But just finding bacteria, even in filterable form, mi a

human tumor does not necessarily imply that they are its cause. To

make sure, it is held they must be reinjected into animals and seen to

cause the same or nearly similar disease, after which they must then

be reisolated and shown to resemble the original organism. These were

the postulates propounded by the German pioneer bacteriologist Robert

Koch, who proved that tuberculosis was apparently caused by the

tubercule bacillus.

 

Following this accepted procedure, Rife inoculated the new BX forms

into over 400 rats in all of which there subsequently appeared " tumors

with all the true pathology of neoplastic tissue. "

 

Some of the tumors became so large they exceeded the total weight of

the individual rats in which they were developing. When the tumors

were surgically removed, the BX form was recovered from them in all

cases. Koch's postulates were fulfilled.

 

More Startling Discoveries

 

By continued microscopical study and repeated photography to stop

their motion, Rife and his co–workers next came to the baffling

conclusion that the BX, far from remaining always what he had seen as

the purplish red bodies a fraction of a micron in dimension, could

change into not just fairly similar forms as Rosenow had previously

discovered, but into completely different forms simply by altering the

medium on which they were living only very slightly.

 

" Slightly " in Rife's case meant an alteration in the nutrient

environment of only two parts per million by volume. Those who would

consider this unlikely may recall that in homeopathic medicine doses

of remedies are given in dilutions of this weakness and beyond. Even

though they have nothing chemically analyzable in them, they are

effective.

 

One such alteration caused the BX to become what Rife called a

Bacillus Y, or BY. It was still the same purplish red color as the BX

but so enlarged that it would not pass through a filter.

 

With the second change of the medium, the BY enlarged still further

into a monococcoid or single disk form which, when properly stained,

could be viewed under a standard research microscope. Rife claimed

that these forms could be found in the blood of over ninety percent of

cancer victims.

 

By removing this form from the fluid medium it inhabited and

depositing it onto a hard base of asparagus or tomato agar, Rife then

saw it miraculously develop into a fungus, making it kin to a yeast,

mold, or mushroom.

 

Any of these succeeding forms, Rife stated, could be changed back

within thirty–six hours into a BX form capable of producing cancer

tumors in experimental animals from which, in turn, the same BX form

could again be recovered.

 

The transformation did not stop with the fungus, which, if allowed to

stand dormantly as a stock culture for a year and then replanted onto

the asparagus medium, would then change into bacillus coli, millions

of which live in the human intestine. This common bacillus could pass,

in Rife's words, " any known laboratory method of analysis. "

 

Because he had found that microorganisms had the ability to luminate

when stimulated by given frequencies of light, it occurred to Rife

that they might also be devitalized by beaming radiations of specific

frequencies upon them. One source has it that the harmonics of these

frequencies ranged from 10 meters to 20,000 meters.

 

To this end, he had been developing concurrently with his microscopic

equipment a special frequency emitter, which he continued to improve,

up to at least 1953, as steady advances in electronics continued. The

killing waves were projected through a tube filled with helium gas and

said to be efficient in destroying microorganisms at a distance of as

much as one thousand feet.

 

With this device, he noted that when the proper mortal oscillatory

rate was reached, many lethal organisms such as those of tuberculosis,

typhoid, leprosy, hoof–and–mouth disease, and others appeared to

disintegrate or " blow up " in the field of his microscope. This " death

ray " principle was also effective when applied to cultured BX.

 

The obvious next step was to determine whether similar radiation would

affect the BX, not in culture, but in the bodies of cancer–afflicted

animals. It apparently did so, for Rife states he got rid of BX in

over 400 experimental rats and other animals in his lab. If it worked

on animal cancers, wondered Rife, why not on human cancers?

 

The answer was so resoundingly " Yes " that, in our day when billions

are being spent each year to find a cure for cancer, it is prudent to

quote Rife's report word–for–word:

 

The first clinical work on cancer was completed under the

supervision of Milbank Johnson, M.D., which was set up under a special

medical research committee of the University of Southern California.

Sixteen cases were treated at the clinic for many types of malignancy.

After three months, fourteen of these so–called hopeless cases were

signed off as clinically cured by a staff of five medical doctors and

Alvin G. Foord, M.D., pathologist for the group. The treatments

consisted of three minutes duration, using the frequency instrument

which was set on the mortal oscillatory rate for BX, or cancer, at

three–day intervals. It was found that the elapsed time between

treatments attains better results than cases treated daily.

 

The News Leaks Out

 

News of Rife's work began to leak out to the world of medicine at the

end of the 1920s. One of the first to learn of it was Arthur W. Yale,

M.D., who lived in San Diego, not far from Rife's laboratory. He

acquired a frequency emitter and began to treat cancerous patients.

 

In 1940, reporting to his fellow physicians on some of his decade–long

results, Yale wrote that because the whole of Rife's extraordinary

findings constituted an " entirely new theory of the origin and cause

of cancer, and the treatment and results have been so unique and

unbelievable, " he was making his findings available in the hope that

" after further research we may eliminate the second largest cause of

deaths in the United States. "

 

Yale had had limited success in treating cancerous tumors with X rays

and with the use of what he called " static wave current for some three

decades. When he began to use Rife's device, he sometimes employed it

alone, sometimes together, with the two methods with which he was

familiar. Both methods brought startlingly successful results. Yale

was careful to note that, when he added the use of the Rife ray to his

other radiation, cancerous masses " have disappeared in about one–tenth

the time and so far with no reoccurrences. "

 

Dr. Arthur Isaac Kendall, whose " K " medium Rife had used in his

experimentation, was also determined to check whether viable bacteria

in the filterable state could be unequivocally seen by Rife's

microscope. Kendall had been working with cultures of typhoid bacillus

and, under a standard microscope, had been able to detect a swarm of

active granules that could be seen only as tiny motile points. Because

nothing of their individual structure could be ascertained, Kendall

could not diagnose them with certainty to be filterable forms of the

bacillus.

 

In order to make certain, he went to California in late November of

1931 and examined his cultures under a Rife microscope at 5,000

diameters in the Pathological Laboratory of the Pasadena Hospital. The

facilities were afforded through the offices of the same Drs. Johnson

and Foord who had worked with Rife on the BX.

 

When Rife finally got them in focus, the tiny granules were seen to be

bright, highly motile, turquoise–blue bodies, which, to quote the

report he coauthored with Kendall, " contrasted strikingly both in

color and in their active motion with the noncolored debris of the

medium. " The same observations were repeated eight separate times, the

complete absence of similar bodies in uninoculated control media being

noted.

 

To further confirm their findings, Rife and Kendall next examined

eighteen–hour–old specially cultured and inoculated colonies of the

same bacillus because they had determined that it was precisely at

this stage of growth that they became filterable. Now they could see

three transitional forms of the same organism: one, the normal

bacillus itself, almost devoid of color; two, the same bacillus but

with a prominent turquoise blue granule at one end of it; and three,

the same turquoise blue granules moving about independently.

 

This was somewhat equivalent to being able to observe a caterpillar,

its cocoon, and the butterfly that emerges from the cocoon, all

simultaneously.

 

When they transplanted the filter–passing granules into a broth

medium, they were seen under the, Rife microscope to revert back to

their original bacillus, or rod–like, form.

 

At this juncture, the American bellwether journal Science got wind of

Kendall's work and, in a news story devoted to it, referred to the new

" supermicroscope " invented by Royal Raymond Rife. The same month,

December 1931, the Rife–Kendall account was published in California

and Western Medicine, the official mouthpiece of the state medical

associations of California, Nevada, and Utah. This magazine also

commented editorially that the Kendall–Rife article was to be

particularly recommended to its readers because of its " calling the

attention of the world to a new type of microscope which, if it

fulfills its apparent advantages over any microscope thus far

developed, bids fair to lay the basis for revolutionary discoveries in

bacteriology and the allied sciences. "

 

The editorial was significantly entitled " Is a New Field About to Be

Opened in the Science of Bacteriology? " Apparently it was about to die

aborning.

 

The Opposition Mounts

 

The following month, Kendall was invited to give the De Lamar lecture

at the Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health in

Baltimore, Maryland, before the Association of American Physicians. As

a leader of the filtrationist school, he attracted the attention of

his adversaries, two of whom were invited as discussants.

 

The first was an irascible, pugnacious curmudgeon, Dr. Thomas Rivers,

of the well–heeled Rockefeller Institute of New York City, who was

described by one of his institute colleagues as a " difficult and

formidable person to oppose and [he] could be stubbornly inflexible in

maintaining a position. "

 

When he learned of his invitation to discuss Kendal's presentation of

the work with the typhoid bacillus, Rivers hurriedly repeated

experiments on which Kendall had worked for years and, by his own

account, got no proof of Kendall's claim. Based on this thin evidence,

he arose at the Johns Hopkins meeting and, to quote him " in a very

temperate manner called the fellow a liar. Not in so many words.

Actually, all I said was that I couldn't repeat this experiment and I

therefore didn't believe his findings were true. "

 

Rivers was followed in the discussion by the Harvard microbiologist,

Dr. Hans Zinsser, also a " nonfiltrationist, " who, to quote Rivers

anew, " just gave Kendall bloody hell. I'd never seen Hans so hot in my

life. I had to agree with everything he said – but I really felt sorry

for poor old Kendall he just sat there and took it. "

 

In the midst of the venom and acerbity, the only colleague to come to

Kendal's aid was the grand old man of bacteriology, and first teacher

of the subject in the United States, Dr. William H. " Popsy " Welch, who

evidently looked upon Kendall's work with some regard.

 

What is of interest today is that at the Baltimore meeting there

seemed to be no mention of the Rife microscope. Also, in the light of

the apparent victory of the " nonfiltrationists " over those who claimed

that bacteria were filterable, it was curious that Rivers could claim

to have repeated Kendal's work without the use of the instrument

Kendall had found so necessary to clearly reveal his filterable forms.

 

Kendal's work, however, attracted the rapt attention of the same Dr.

Edward C. Rosenow who, in 1914, had been able to prove that strains of

streptococcus were able, under the right conditions, to transmute one

into the other. In that day, he had written that these " conditions

were more or less obscure. They seem to call forth new or latent

energies which were previously not manifest and which now have gained

the ascendancy. "

 

As a filtrationist, Rosenow was a maverick among bacteriologists up to

his death at ninety–four in the 1960s. His work had convinced him,

also prior to World War I, that organisms in sera – the fluids from

tissues of immunized animals commonly used as antitoxins to neutralize

microbes in the body – might in some patients have dangerous

biological side effects.

 

The main implication of Rosenow's work in his own eyes was that

bacteria were not as important to disease as the terrain on which they

found themselves. " It would seem, " he wrote in his 1914 article, " that

focal infections are no longer to be looked upon merely as a place of

entrance of bacteria but as a place where conditions are favorable for

them to acquire the properties which give them a wide range of

affinities for various structures. "

 

Rosenow first became aware of the Rife technique through a patient at

the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, where Rosenow was employed.

The patient was none other than the same Henry H. Timken, who had

financially aided Rife to develop his microscope and begin his

research in the 1920s.

 

Rife came to Chicago with his microscope. Kendall invited Rosenow down

to the Northwestern University Medical School to work with himself and

Rife on 5 May 1932. For three days, they made a restudy of the Kendall

forms, Rosenow working with a Zeiss microscope, Kendall with an oil

immersion dark–field instrument, and Rife with his special device.

" The oval, motile, turquoise blue bodies, " wrote Rosenow of this work,

" described previously by Kendall and Rife were unmistakably demonstrated. "

 

The three next decided to filter cultures of the streptococcus

bacteria that Rosenow had found to be associated with poliomyelitis to

see what the Rife scope might reveal. What they saw were not the blue

bodies linked to the typhoid bacillus, but cocci and diplococci of a

brownish gray color each surrounded by a strange halo. These could

only be observed in the Rife microscope.

 

Moreover, filtrates of a virus considered to be the cause of

encephalitis showed a considerable number of round forms, singly and

in pairs, which under the special Rife illumination were pale pink in

color and somewhat smaller than those seen in the poliomyelitis

preparations.

 

Rosenow's work was panned by Rivers in public forum just as viciously

as was Kendall's. This was before Rosenow had worked with the Rife

microscope. " I had one run–in with him, " said Rivers, " at a meeting

held before the Association for Research in Nervous and Mental

Diseases during Christmas week. in 1931. I was pretty savage with him.

Do you think that helped? Hell, no, if you ask me for my candid

opinion, I think that most of the audience believed Rosenow. "

 

This belief did not last for long. For a variety of reasons, including

the very difficult methods of culturing the filterable forms of

bacteria – and lack of the Rife microscope to observe them – the

" church " of nonfiltrationist bacteriology, of which Rivers was later

proclaimed " the apostolic father " (does one need better evidence of

hierarchical priesthoods and priestcraft in science?), was putting the

filtrationist camp on the defensive.

 

Three filtrationists, writing of discoveries similar to those of

Kendall, just prior to Kendal's Johns Hopkins lecture, thus considered

it necessary to state in their introduction: " It has come about these

days that to express convictions that differ from the consensus

gentium becomes almost professional foolhardiness: It brings down the

strictures of one's friends and enemies alike. "

 

They added: " But we are also conscious of the fact that, beneath the

tumult of controversy between monomorphism and pleomorphism, there is

being born a new epoch in bacteriology, the limits of the significance

of which and the possible expansion of which no one can yet surmise. "

 

Like all scientific revolutions, the epoch would have to wait

patiently for its time to come. Rosenow was held by his adversaries to

be 100 percent wrong in many of his observations. His son, Dr. Edward

C. Rosenow, Jr., chief administrative officer of the American College

of Physicians, asserts that his father was all but accused by

Rockefeller Institute research moguls of experimental dishonesty.

 

How was it that none of Kendall's or Rosenow's attackers bothered to

use the Rife microscope? Rife himself admitted that he was not

confident that his experiments, revealing the BX form, could ever be

repeated without the use of his scope. " We do not expect any

laboratory, " he wrote, " to be able to produce the BX on account of the

technique involved and adequate optical equipment. This is why we have

never publicly announced that BX is the cause of cancer but we have

succeeded in producing from its inoculation tumors with all the true

characteristics and pathology of neoplastic tissue from which we have

repeatedly recovered the BX virus. "

 

At the end of his life, Rosenow was philosophic about lack of

acceptance for his findings among his colleagues. " There is no way, "

he told his son, " to convince one's peer group of something new until

their attitude of receptivity changes. They simply won't listen. " This

echoes the German Nobel Laureate in physics Max Planck, who stated

that for new ideas to be accepted, one had to wait for a generation of

scientists to die off and a new one to replace it.

 

The Search Continues

 

With respect to Rife's cancer observations, it may be that this

process of replacement is now taking place.

 

Rife's work. has a possible connection with research performed over

the last twenty years by several pioneers. One pair of them are Dr.

Irene Diller, a former long–time associate of the Institute for Cancer

Research in Philadelphia, and Dr. Florence B. Seibert, professor

emeritus of biochemistry, University of Pennsylvania.

 

One day in the late 1950s, Diller called Seibert, who won many awards

and five honorary doctorates for her more than thirty–year–long work

on tuberculosis, and asked her to come and look at some microbes on

slides. On the slides, Seibert observed tiny round organisms. When

Seibert learned that Diller had isolated them regularly from many

other tumors, as well as from the blood of leukemia patients, she

hastened to ask whether Diller could find them in a sarcoma tumor she,

Seibert, was studying.

 

After several weeks, Diller showed Seibert a tube filled with a

slightly grayish and moist–looking culture fined with small round

cocci. Injected into mice, they produced cancerous tumors.

 

Seibert became convinced that Diller might have found a link to

cancer. Because so many scientists, believing Diller's new forms to be

merely " ubiquitous contaminants " in her cultures, were writing off her

work as spurious, Seibert decided to continue working on the problem

during her Florida retirement, first at the Mound Park – today the Bay

Front – Hospital in Saint Petersburg, later at a Veterans

Administration Hospital.

 

Blood samples from cancer patients with varying types of leukemia were

obtained and from every one of them Seibert was able to isolate

pleomorphic microbes. These bacterial forms were also isolated from

tumors, and with a homologous vaccine they decreased tumors in mice.

Just like those of the Rife–Kendall–Rosenow research, they could

change from round to rod shaped and even could become long threadlike

filaments, depending on what medium they were grown in and for how

long. They would pass a filter and at this stage in their life cycle

they were about the same size as Rife's BX forms.

 

Today there is great stir about, and much money devoted to, viruses in

relation to the cancer problem. The most recent edition of the

Encyclopedia Britannica states that " sufficient evidence has been

acquired to indicate that one or more viruses probably cause cancer in

man, " and that carcinogens, or cancer–producing agents, " are suspected

of producing cancers by activating viruses latent in the body. "

 

But, so far, little support is given to those who ascribe bacteria and

the forms into which they transmute the ability for close association

with cancer. This legacy of the nonfiltrationist school persists in

the face of mounting evidence that the filtrationists may have been

right all along.

 

These days, because various bacterial forms have been noted to have

anomalies in their cellular walls – how could they develop into

smaller forms if they could not leap beyond or through the walls that

imprison them? They are known as Cell Wall Deficient Forms. A

revolutionary new book about them has been written by the Wayne State

University microbiologist Dr. Lida H. Mattman, Her text opens with the

statement: " Clandestine, almost unrecognizable, polymorphous bacterial

growth seems to occur as often as the stereotyped classical boxcars of

bacilli and pearls of cocci ... " The book's contents would seem to

indicate that the new era predicted in 1931 for filtrationist

microbiology is dawning, though presently its adherents are having

great difficulty both in publishing their work and getting grants for

further research.

 

Sufficient data, writes Mattman, have been amassed to warrant

reinvestigation, and adds: " There is no subject generally viewed with

greater skepticism than an association between bacteria and human

cancer. However, the medical profession may look back with irony at

the stony reception given by his home colleagues to Koch's paper

elucidating the etiology of tuberculosis. Similarly, medical students

were once taught that whooping cough vaccination was an unrealistic

dream reported only by two women at the Michigan Public Health

Laboratories and by a pediatrician namer Sauer. "

 

Most importantly, she concludes: " One must always consider that most

malignancies are accompanied by an immunodeficiency ... Therefore, we

could be dealing with a microbe that finds such a host merely a

suitable environment for habitation. "

 

This is very close to Rife's own statement that he had unequivocally

demonstrated that " it was the chemical constituents and chemical

radicals of an organism which enacted upon the unbalanced cell

metabolism of the human body to produce disease. " Before he died, Rife

stated: " We have in many instances produced all the symptoms of a

disease chemically in experimental animals without the inoculation of

any virus or bacteria into their tissues. "

 

What, then, of Royal Raymond Rife and his microscope?

 

Lingering Questions

 

How is it that biologists and physicians, other than Kendall and

Rosenow, did not rush to investigate it? Why haven't physicists looked

into the effects Rife achieved with electromagnetic waves of specific

frequencies upon disease, including cancer?

 

Similar effects were observed by Dr. Georges Lakhovsky in Paris, who

developed a wave emitter called a multiwave oscillator with which he

cured cancer as well as other diseases in plants and humans. The

multiwave oscillator is today banned by the FDA as quackery. They have

also been noted in Bordeaux by another inventor, self–taught as was

Rife, Antoine Priore, whose apparatus combines the use of

electromagnetic radiation with a plasma of helium or noble gases

reminiscent of Rife's method used in detecting and devitalizing BX.

 

Are the strange blue, motile forms that Dr, Wilhelm Reich discovered

in the late 1930s and for which he coined the word bions related to

the foregoing? Reich observed the bions to spontaneously proliferate

from specially treated organic matter and even from coal and sand!

Spontaneous generation of life was supposed to have been laid to rest

in Reich's time, as it is in ours, and he was accused by fellow

scientists of confusing Brownian movement of subcellular particles or

debris in his cultures with the new subcellular forms he claimed to

have discovered.

 

In cancerous patients, Reich observed the bions to degenerate into

what he called T–bacilli (the T coming from the German word Tod,

meaning death). When injected into mice, they caused cancer just like

Rife's BX forms.

 

In Copenhagen, a biophysicist named Scott Hill reports that a new book

written in Russian by two researchers at the Kazakh State University

in the U.S.S.R. deals with a whole new branch of medical science in

which " healing " of various disorders is being accomplished by the use

of ultraweak, monochromatic laser light. Shades of Rife!

 

The Lee Foundation for Nutritional Research in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

maintains that Rife, his microscope, and his life work were tabooed by

leaders in the U.S. medical profession and that any medical doctor who

made use of his practical discoveries was stripped of his privileges

as a member of the local medical society.

 

Rife himself died three or four years ago. Considerable digging has

not established what happened to his estate. The remarkable instrument

he conceived and developed and its photographic evidence may still be

in existence. They are worth looking for.

 

The assistance of NAJ readers is solicited.*

located Rife's " Universal Microscope " in a sorry state of disrepair in

the San Diego home of John Crane. Efforts to rebuild it have so far

been unsuccessful. A fascinating book on Rife's saga, The Cancer Cure

That Worked, by Barry Lynes, was published in 1987 by Marcus Books,

Toronto, Canada. ]

Cancer and Other Immune Deficiencies

When one views cancer as a cellular disease, isolated from general

biological disorders and developing along proper norms that are local

and independent of any possible carcinogenic agent whose persistence

is no longer indispensable to the autonomous progression of the

tumoral process, the therapy is centered on " the tumoral mass, " whose

destruction and radical removal becomes the only imperative means of

recovery.

 

Until now, among the means at our disposal for combating this disease,

the surgical solution has figured most prominently. This solution,

which best addresses the notion of " tumor as a local disorder, "

consists of the radical removal of the autonomous and parasitic mass

from the cellular agglomeration, which appears as an immediately

palliative solution.

 

Next came the radiation solution. This therapy applied to tumors,

which promises the destruction of the tumoral mass by deep

disintegration of the cancerous cells and for which the question of

dosage and irradiated surface is an important consideration, would not

be efficient other than to the extent in which the radiation would

reach the neoplastic, cells, not with the intent of immediate and

blind disintegration but rather to force a reversal of the

pathological synthesis that is the source of their malignancy.

 

Finally came the chemotherapeutic solution. The therapeutic solution

based on the use of chemicals toxic to such cells, which is to say by

karyoclasic poisons that stop the mitoses by plasmatic division and

chromatic alteration, leads to duplications of the number of

chromosomes and abnormal mitoses, The karyoclasic action of this

therapy appears, with regard to neoplastic mitoses, as an essentially

negative mode of stopping, blockage, and chromial distintegration and

furthermore presents a danger – without speaking of general toxicity –

to the mitoses of normal cells and, among others, to that of the

germinal series.

 

Natural Immunity

 

For some time already, a new orientation had been taken in the work of

researchers studying cancer. As a matter of fact, the possibilities of

natural immunity, as much zoological as physiological or individual in

the cancer grafts, whose essentially antitissular nature remains

obscure, have shown that cancer should no longer be considered a

cellular disease isolated from general biological disorders. To the

contrary, the evolution of this disease is linked to conditions of the

organism, and the aptitude to cancerization points back to the

organism " alone. "

 

To grow, the tumor needs the organism, and without the latter

cancerization cannot take place. Given the interaction that exists

between the organ and the tumor, in particular its vascularization and

the composition of the blood that irrigates it, as well as the state

of nervous influx pertaining to it, all modification of these

different factors can thus have an action on the very life of the

cancer. The process that at certain times permits the host carrier of

tumor to stabilize it should be analogous to that which permits an

individual to harbor in his throat diphtheria bacillis without being

stricken by this disease. it is possible that similar phenomena occur

with regard to malignant cells. This is reasoning by analogy. If one

considers the numerous possible causes of cancer that surround us, is

it not possible that there exists in certain individuals a resistance

to the development of cancer?

 

Grafts Studies

 

A number of studies have been undertaken with the purpose of

clarifying this problem. The first attempts were undertaken with

patients stricken with advanced cancer, who had volunteered to undergo

these experiments. Some tumor fragments, removed from other persons

and cultivated for a long time in an artificial medium, were implanted

under the skin of their forearms. The grafts were accepted and

progressively grew in volume. This result was in contradiction with

the usual biological rule that requires that a tissue removed from an

animal does not develop itself if it is grafted on another animal,

unless the latter is a true twin of the first. The explanation of this

statement, which appears to be paradoxical, requires that, with

patients stricken with advanced cancer, the natural defense that

opposes the acceptance of grafts had disappeared. one could inquire

further if all the usual defenses of these fatigued patients had thus

given up. The experiment showed that the normal defense mechanism that

yielded to the cancer remained intact in all other respects. It is

thus that a graft of normal tissue was rapidly eliminated. The two

possible explanations were that either the cancerous tissue had a

particular ability of growth contrary to the usual laws that rule

grafts, or the patient had lost, especially with regard to cancerous

cells, the possibilities of normal defense. The question then was:

Would cancer cells transplanted to a normal individual be capable of

growing?

 

A systematic study of this question had been undertaken by the cancer

research center in New York, which called on volunteers from an

American prison. From more than one hundred volunteers, fifty men were

chosen. These men received an implant of a human cancer culture, the

same type as that which had been utilized within the patients stricken

with cancer. With the fifty volunteers, there had been one important

defensive local inflammatory reaction, and the graft disappeared

completely in four weeks. This experiment demonstrated that the human

body possesses some type of resistance to the growth of cancers

transplanted from another man. This resistance does not exist with

patients stricken by advanced cancer. These experiments lead one to

attempt to stimulate the natural defense of an organism against

cancer. This is why several research projects were undertaken in the

area of immunology.

 

It is a question of knowing if the elements that constitute the

malignant tumor, essentially the chemical elements that form the cell

or the nucleus, are capable of playing the role of antigen. That is to

say, to provoke in the organism that contains them the formation of

antagonistic substances called antibodies, whose role it is to oppose

the development of the former, or antigen. If such a property can be

disclosed in malignant tumors, it would indicate the possibility of

promoting the formation of such antibodies for fighting against the

development of cancer.

 

The problem is not so simple, though, because the normal tissues from

which cancer results are grafted on another subject. It is necessary

to suppress the antibodies thereby formed in order to verify if other

antibodies exist whose formation would be due to the presence of

malignant tissue. It would be necessary to admit that not the tumor

but perhaps one or several elements of the cell play the role of

foreign body in its development of the organism. It is possible to

consider that, in certain circumstances, there exists a certain degree

of antigenic properties, and that it may then be possible to promote

the development and encourage the formation of corresponding

antibodies. This phenomenon would then be able to explain why certain

carrier subjects of cancer, although having diffused the cells from

the primary tumor in the organism, do not lead to the development of

other metastases. The cells stopped at other points could have

provoked there the formation of antibodies that were opposed to their

development or that could have destroyed them. One can equally

envision a lowering of immunity that had stabilized the swarming

cells, thus allowing for the development of metastases years after the

destruction of the initial tumor.

 

Tumor Cells

 

The problem of cancer viewed from this angle makes it necessary to

study the life of the malignant cell in order to discover which

antigenic agents would be capable of producing such antibodies as are

capable of destroying cancerous cells. Despite very particular aspects

of the malignant cell, it is surprising to note that one may again ask

how it can differ from a normal cell. Research seeking to put into

evidence a new element not found in normal cells found no conclusive

result. On the contrary, it would seem that there are qualitative

differences in the choice made by the cell between the primary

materials that supply it in particular in the chemical phenomena and

the fermentations leading to the formation of nucleic acids – the role

of which is essential in the Life of the cell.

 

Tumor cells utilize more glucose than normal cells, but no

quantitative differences have been found between normal tissue and

tumoral tissue. This strongly indicates an increase in the formation

of lactic acid. Tumor cells utilize the energy produced by the

destruction of carbohydrates for the synthesis of cellular proteins at

greater levels than normal cells. The cells return to a simpler form.

The phenomena associated with fermentation (linked to ferments called

enzymes), basic to proper life, simplify the cell, which then loses

more or less those functions that individualize it and make it pertain

to a specialized organ. Before the cell has utilized all its capacity

for synthesis, it divides, thus prematurely interrupting the cycle of

its activities and aggravating the disorder at each division. In

response, it recovers former properties remembered from its origin –

most important of which is the aptitude to multiply more rapidly, with

consequences that are one of the manifestations of its malignancy,

This abnormal growth in number is due to a liberation of the control

system that normally maintains tissue harmony. The cells then become

dangerous parasites or anarchists in the midst of the cellular

community. The malignant cells appear " privileged and antisocial. "

They first monopolize materials, and, in particular, amino acids,

indispensable to the life of all cells, whether normal or malignant,

What is especially striking is the intensity of these physical or

chemical phenomena in comparison to ordinary chemical phenomena in

normal conditions. The surrounding conditions (temperature, pH, and

molecular pressure) have a capital importance in the phenomena of

cellular, life.

 

Physical State of Humors

 

Of all the problems, the most important is, without doubt, the

disorders of the humoral system engendered by these phenomena and the

consequences that come from the behavior of individuals in a normal or

pathological state. Hippocrates, and, well before his time, the

Hebrews and the Egyptians, already attributed the major part of morbid

incidents to troubled humors. By " humors, " we mean the extra–cellular

liquids of the organism. They form the fluid part of the circulating

blood – the plasma – in which the sanguine elements appear, such as

the suspended white and red blood cells, and also all the interstitial

liquids, either lacunal or other, which bathe, impregnate, or encircle

the tissue and organs. Not having a precise means of investigation,

the ancients completely ignored how and why humors can be innovative.

Later, when the constitution of these humors became known, medicine

sought to discover which of the substances that compose these humors

was responsible for the incidence of pathology. Having identified that

all experimentally provoked variations, in terms of diverse humorous

constitutional elements, had been powerless to reproduce the symptoms

of acute or chronic disease, they came to this conclusion –

diametrically opposed to that of Hippocrates. that the humoral state

plays no role in the genesis of illness. Medicine then became

" solids " : Only lesions were considered important; the state of humors

was left aside.

 

On a modern basis, we will endeavor to recognize the triumph of

humoral medicine in discovering the real reason for the innovative

behavior of humors, which resides not in their chemical constitution,

but in the physical state of certain elements, when the latter ones

change to the state of a solid. We are drawn to examine the behavior

of observable elements in all biological liquids; in particular, our

attention has been retained by extremely tenuous particles, whose

presence has already been signaled by numerous authors at the end of

the previous century.

 

For quite some time already, the microscope has been an indispensable

instrument for precise measurement in research laboratories and the

industry. The classical microscope normally permits enlargement on the

order of 1800 X with a resolution of 0.1 microns. The electron

microscope permits enlargement on the order of 400,000 X with a

resolution of 30 to 50 angstroms. But use of the latter necessitates

manipulations that alter the physical aspect of objects being observed.

 

We have thus perfected an instrument for microscopic observation,

which we have called the Somatoscope. The primary quality of this

apparatus is that it permits the observation of live elements and can

follow the polymorphism to enlargements attaining 30,000 X with a

resolution on the order of 150 angstroms. Using this instrument, we

have observed, in all biological liquids and particularly in the

blood, an elementary particle endowed with a movement of

electronegative repulsion, possessing a polymorphic nature. We have

called it the somatid. This extremely tenuous particle, whose

dimension varies from a few angstroms to 0.1 microns, can be isolated

and put in a culture. We could then observe the polymorphic cycle. We

were surprised to discover in this cycle such elements that we had

regularly seen in the blood of healthy persons but equally in the

blood of carriers of diverse diseases. We made certain correlations.

 

In the blood of healthy persons, we observe somatids, spores, and

double spores. In the course of this microcycle, we can detect the

production of a trephone. This is a proliferative hormone

indispensable to cellular division. Without it, life does not exist.

In healthy individuals, the evolution of this cycle is stopped at the

level of the double spore because of the presence of trephone

inhibitors in the blood. These are either mineral substances, such as

copper, mercury, aluminum, and lead, or organic substances, such as

cyanhydric acid, etc. In the course of this microcycle, the quantity

of trephones necessary for cellular multiplication is thus elaborated.

If, because of stress or some biological disturbances, the inhibitors

in the blood diminish in concentration, the somatid cycle continues

its natural evolution and one sees the appearance of diverse forms of

bacteria. These have also been termed by German scientists during the

1930s syphonospora polymorpha.

 

Next come the mycobacterial forms, and then the yeast–like forms.

These forms with a dimension of 4 to 5 microns evolve rapidly into

ascospores, then by maturation become asci. At this stage of

evolution, the ascus, after staining on a blood smear, appears as a

small lymphocyte and cannot be differentiated by conventional means.

Next come the filamentous forms. One can observe from an ascus the

formation of a thallus in which evolves a cytoplasm of increasing

importance. The cytoplasm is formed from the ascus and a conjuncture

is observable between them. It is by this conjuncture and by

peristalsis that the cytoplasm forms in the thallus. This apparent

mycelial form responds to none of the criteria of fungal elements. In

fact, it is in no way affected by massive doses of Amphotericin B,

Fungizone, or other antifungal agents. When this pseudomycelial

element has attained its full maturity with an extremely active

cytoplasm, we then witness the bursting of this thallus and the

liberation into the surroundings of an enormous quantity of new

particles capable of reinitiating a complete cycle. The empty thallus

has a fibrous aspect. Furthermore, it is often seen on blood smears

but it is considered as an artifact of the staining procedure.

 

From the preceding observations, we have been able to draw the

following conclusions:

 

1. Cellular division requires the presence of the somatid (which

is either in the animal or plant domain).

 

2. Trephones are elaborated by the somatid.

 

3. The somatid is capable of polymorphism. This polymorphism is

controlled by inhibitors found in the blood.

 

4. A deficiency of sanguine inhibitors permits the elaboration

of a large quantity of trephones, which in turn lead to disorders in

cellular metabolism.

 

5. All degenerative diseases are a consequence of these disorders.

 

In light of the above observations, the notion of " cancer, a general

disease which is localized, " takes on its meaning when one examines

the evolutionary process of this affliction. This process can be

divided in two parts:

 

First Part: Cancerization, or initiation

 

When, for whatever reason, the sanguine inhibitors diminish and the

polymorphism of the somatid is no longer stopped at the double spore

state, an exaggerated formation of trephones in the organism leads the

cell to return to a simpler form. The phenomena of fermentation

(linked to ferments called enzymes), basic to proper life, simplifies

the cell. It then loses more or less those functions that give it its

individuality and make it pertain to a specialized organ. The cell is

divided even before it has utilized all its capacity for synthesis,

thus prematurely interrupting the cycle of its activities and

aggravating its disorder at each division. In response, it recovers

old properties remembered from its origin the most important of which

is the aptitude to multiply rapidly, with consequences that are one of

the manifestations of its malignancy. This abnormal growth in number

is due to a liberation of the control system which normally maintains

cellular harmony.

 

At this stage, the cancerization is effective. It can be called

initiation, or precancerous. We now have an accelerated and anarchic

multiplication of one or several cells which provokes, by an

agglomeration of their descendants, the occurrence of a new " entity "

opposing the organism that had given birth to it, The immune system

then enters into action and fights actively to eliminate this entity.

In this fashion, we develop a small cancer daily, but our immune

system rids us of it.

 

Second Part: Cocancerization, or promotional

 

If the immune system is somewhat deficient and the new entity has been

able to reach a certain proportion, it then attains a " critical mass "

of cells in anarchic proliferation. This entity that has been able to

escape from the immune system needs an enormous quantity of nitrogen

for subsistence (the cells of this entity are moreover named nitrogen

traps) – It then emits a substance that allows it to withdraw nitrogen

derivatives from the organism and that, at the same time, paralyzes

the immune system. We have called this substance Cocancerogenic K

Factor (CKF).

 

The paralyzing action of CKF against the immune system appears only

when the critical mass of cells in anarchic proliferation is reached.

From this moment, the organism finds itself without defense against

this new entity that can develop at will and progressively invade its

host.

 

We can conclude from this analysis that:

 

1. The cancerization, or initiation, phase is linked to the

reduction of sanguine inhibitors and a weakness of the immune system.

 

2. The cocancerization, or promotion, phase is the direct

consequence of a paralyzed immune system provoked by a substance

called CKF. This substance is elaborated by anarchic cells in order to

withdraw, from the organism, nitrogen derivatives necessary for

proliferation.

 

An understating of this process makes it possible to propose a therapy

leading to the suppression of CKF. As a matter of fact, if the latter

is neutralized, the immune system can regain its initial activity and

consider each anarchic cell composing the tumors as a foreign body to

be rejected.

 

After having carried out numerous experiments on camphor and its

derivative, we have discovered that this product is endowed with

remarkable pharmaceutical properties since it impedes the formation of

the CKF substance, which puts leucocytes and other phagocytic elements

of the organism in a state of negative chemotaxis, that is to say, in

a state of paralysis during diverse degenerative diseases.

 

Camphor is neither an antimitotic nor an antimetabolite. Its property

of inhibiting the CKF resides in the fact that it carries to the tumor

cells all the nitrogen that it needs, suppressing by the same action

the secretion that would paralyze the immune system. We have therefore

proposed for experimentation. a camphor derivative by the name of 714–X.

 

714–X — also called " trimethylbicyclonitramineoheptane chloride "

 

714–X can be obtained here.

 

Recent Studies of the Somatid

 

Appendix C

Addendum to the Second Edition

by Christopher Bird

 

In June 1991, Gaston Naessens, for the first time in his research

life, hosted a scientific conference of his own. Held in the remote

university town of Sherbrooke, Quèbec, it attracted some two hundred

participants from thirty–one of the fifty states, as well as from

Canada, Mexico, the Bahamas, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands,

Switzerland, and Austria.

 

Among the audience were at least thirty doctors of medicine and

osteopathy and a dozen dentists, plus professionals practicing

homeopathy, chiropractic, acupuncture, microbiology, laboratory

technology, and engineering. Added to their number were

representatives of research institutes and foundations along with men

and women afflicted with cancer, multiple sclerosis, and other diseases.

 

What had caused this host of hadjis to make the long trek to a

little–known North American " Mecca " ? They wanted to learn whether

seemingly " unbelievable " fundamental biological discoveries, perhaps

as important as any in this century, were " for real. "

 

My account of the proceedings at Naessens's " Symposium on Somatidian

Orthobiology " can be found in the October 1991 issue of the Townsend

Latter for Doctors (see Resources).

 

During the less than a year since Hal and Linda Kramer marshaled the

considerable courage needed to publish this book, many others have

contributed time and effort to a dissemination of the story it tells.

Appearances on radio talk shows broadcast around the nation, some of

them by shortwave around the world, produced in 1991 over five

thousand phone calls, many of them from victims of degenerative disease.

 

One particularly memorable radio appearance began with the host's

telling me that she had also invited a physician specializing at a

large cancer hospital in a city in the southern United States. Before

we went on the air, for a full hour, I braced myself for what I

thought would be an acrimonious debate between a doctor of the

orthodox cancer school and a writer myself – who was challenging that

orthodoxy.

 

Imagine my surprise when my medical interlocutor began his remarks by

saying that it was truly a shame that he and many of his colleagues

were being prevented by the " system " from using, or even learning

about, novel and potentially helpful approaches to cancer treatment

such as the one developed by Gaston Naessens.

 

I was deeply moved by this physician's plight, and by his honesty, for

over the months since this book has appeared, it has been my privilege

and my pride to meet – either face to face or over the telephone –

with dozens of doctors who would like nothing more than to become

better informed on new medical discoveries. But they are prevented

from doing so by the medical establishment, dictated to by a

multibillion–dollar drug industry.

 

Thirteen of the doctors who called me were eager to know how they

could get access to treatments such as those devised by Gaston

Naessens for themselves, their wives, or their relatives to treat

grave cases of cancer with which they had become afflicted.

 

In each case, I interjected my own question: " Doctor, how come you're

not advising yourself (or those close to you) to go the same

prescription route you've been recommending for so long to your

patients? Chemotherapy, or radiation, or the like? " And each time,

though phrased slightly differently, the answer came back: " Because we

know it doesn't work! " When I heard this answer, sometimes voiced late

at night, I wondered if I were living in a world gone medically mad.

 

As I continue, somewhat against my will, to research the " politics "

behind this medical madness, I am prevented from drowning in the utter

cynicism of it all by knowing that I am an ally of allies worthy of

the name.

 

As the testimonials on the opening pages of this book make clear,

eminent practitioners of what I have come to call " new options "

medicine – I do not think the words " alternative " or " complementary "

are as relevant – have begun to step forward to testify to the sheer

brilliance of Gaston Naessens's discoveries.

 

Little by little, and at a much faster pace than I, or Naessens, or

anyone, might have expected, the work of this French–born biologist of

genius is coming to the attention and approbation of enlightened

medical practitioners.

 

In January 1992, Naessens and his microscope were featured in a cover

story by the prestigious International Journal of Alternate and

Complementary Medicine in the United Kingdom. In May 1992, Gaston

Naessens and I have been invited to speak at an international

conference called " AIDS: A Different View, " scheduled to take place in

Amsterdam.

 

In the United States, new magazines devoted to " new options " medicine

are championing Naessens's cause. One of them is edited and published

by a woman who, afflicted simultaneously with cancer and multiple

sclerosis, came back from the dead after researching what new medical

treatments had to offer.

 

Many individuals and organizations are waking up to the fact that

establishment medicine, in its attitude to the treatment and

prevention of degenerative disease, is bankrupt. Communications among

them are so far so tenuous that many do not know the existence of the

others, and vice versa. It is up to us all to make efforts to become

more mutually acquainted and interactive.

 

Perhaps the most exciting thing announced by Gaston Naessens at the

Quèbec symposium was his recent invention of a new light–gathering

condenser that, retrofitted to any standard make of dark–field

microscope, can reveal the somatid and its cycle in the blood in

nearly as much detail as can Naessens's original " somatoscope. "

 

Armed with these new tools, medical practitioners are at last afforded

a way to monitor the progression of the somatid cycle in the blood of

ailing patients and its regression in the blood of patients under

treatment ... by any modality.

 

So things are looking up in the medical field. What once seemed only a

possibility, and a widely denied one at that, is slowly becoming a

probability on its way to becoming a reality. Naessens's new biology

is not moving toward a future. It is moving forward from the future.

important. Review by K. Alder in New Methods of Preparative Organic

Chemistry, New York (1948).

 

More than three–fourths of the camphor sold in the U.S. is produced

synthetically, and most of it is sold in the racemic form, although

the U.S.P. specifies the dextrorotatory form. Most camphor produced in

the U.S. is made from pinene.
