Rife Machines and Cancer: Do Frequency Therapies Really Work?
Rife Machines and Cancer: Do Frequency Therapies Really Work? Do Rife machines work for cancer? Learn what the research says about frequency therapy, electromagnetic cancer treatments, potential risks, and evidence-based alternatives.
Do Rife machines cure cancer? Impossible to say. What I can say is that I underwent 5 or 6 treatments using a Rife machine. I was in the period of myeloma treatment where I had reached remission, but I assumed that my MM would return someday. So I was undergoing every cancer therapy imaginable in hopes of maintaining my remission for as long as possible.
I am a long-term myeloma survivor who underwent the FDA-approved “safe and effective” standard-of-care therapy plan. And the SOC treatment did nothing for me beyond short, long-term and late stage side effects.
I will also say that after years of reading and writing about multiple myeloma, I don’t believe that conventional oncology has the solution to cure my incurable blood cancer. Meaning, MM patients CANNOT eliminate their MM stem cells with chemotherapy and/or radiation.
It’s nonsensical, in my opinion, to say that there is “no scientific evidence” that rife technology works. There is no large organization on Earth with the money to fund a proper clinical trial of Rife technology.
In my opinion, having undergone Rife treatments, all I can say is that this therapy is not understood well enough and is expensive to buy on a “let’s see what happens” basis.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Is the Rife Machine Anti-Cancer? A Review of the Evidence
What Is a Rife Machine?
A Rife machine is a device that claims to use electromagnetic frequencies to destroy cancer cells and other disease-causing organisms. Despite decades of claims, there is no high-quality clinical evidence showing that Rife machines can treat or cure cancer. Major medical organizations do not recommend them as a cancer treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Rife Machines Cure Cancer?
No. There is currently no reliable clinical evidence demonstrating that Rife machines cure cancer. Regulatory agencies have not approved Rife machines as cancer treatments.
Can Frequency Therapy Kill Cancer Cells?
Some laboratory research has explored electromagnetic fields and cancer cells, but these findings do not prove that commercial Rife machines treat cancer in humans.
Are Rife Machines FDA Approved?
No. The FDA does not approve rife machines as treatments for cancer.
Can I Use a Rife Machine Alongside Conventional Treatment?
Patients should discuss any complementary therapy with their oncology team before use.

Rife machines and cancer
Rife machines produce low electromagnetic energy waves. These waves are similar to radio waves. Supporters of the treatment claim that the Rife machine can treat different conditions including cancer. There is no reliable evidence that the Rife machine works as a cure for cancer.
Summary
- Rife machines use electromagnetic frequency.
- Supporters of the machine claim that by using a frequency that is similar to the frequency of cancer cells it can cure cancer.
- There is no reliable evidence to use it as a treatment for cancer…
Research into Rife machines as a cancer treatment
Before doctors can use a new treatment, it goes through a long process of development. During this process, the researchers test to check that it works. They make sure that it doesn’t do any harm, and that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
The Rife machine hasn’t been through the usual process of scientific testing. There are studies that looked at low energy waves as a treatment for cancer. They used machines that work in the same way as the Rife machine. Some of these studies were in the laboratory.
One study was on a small number of people with advanced cancer. They had a type of liver cancer called hepatocellular carcinoma. Researchers found that the low frequency waves affected cancer cells. It did not affect normal cells. But this research is still at an experimental stage, and it’s not clear exactly how it could work. And importantly the electromagnetic frequencies used in this research were not the same as those of Rife machines.
Despite the evidence that low energy waves might kill cancer cells, we need more research. Only then can doctors use low energy waves to try to cure cancer…”
Targeted treatment of cancer with radiofrequency electromagnetic fields amplitude-modulated at tumor-specific frequencies
“In the past century, there have been many attempts to treat cancer with low levels of electric and magnetic fields. We have developed noninvasive biofeedback examination devices and techniques and discovered that patients with the same tumor type exhibit biofeedback responses to the same, precise frequencies.
Intrabuccal administration of 27.12 MHz radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields (EMF), which are amplitude-modulated at tumor-specific frequencies, results in long-term objective responses in patients with cancer and is not associated with any significant adverse effects.
Intrabuccal administration allows for therapeutic delivery of very low and safe levels of EMF throughout the body as exemplified by responses observed in the
- femur,
- liver,
- adrenal glands,
- and lungs.
In vitro studies have demonstrated that tumor-specific frequencies identified in patients with various forms of cancer are capable of blocking the growth of tumor cells in a tissue- and tumor-specific fashion.
Current experimental evidence suggests that tumor-specific modulation frequencies regulate the expression of genes involved in migration and invasion and disrupt the mitotic spindle. This novel targeted treatment approach is emerging as an appealing therapeutic option for patients with advanced cancer given its excellent tolerability. Dissection of the molecular mechanisms accounting for the anti-cancer effects of tumor-specific modulation frequencies is likely to lead to the discovery of novel pathways in cancer…”
