5.0 out of 5 stars
A very Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Rife's Resonance Therapy, August 31, 2009
This review is from: The Rife Handbook of Frequency Therapy with a Holistic Health Primer (Hardcover)
I am pleased to be able to review The Rife Handbook of Frequency Therapy with a Holistic Health Primer -- the long awaited, thoroughly updated and expanded manual, almost twice the size of her original Handbook of Rife Frequency Healing (which Nenah Sylver wrote under the name "Nina Silver"). If you are just starting to learn about Rife therapy, you will have a lot of questions and will be looking for intelligent, competent answers to questions such as:
- Who was Royal Raymond Rife?
- How did he discover this therapy?
- How do the devices work today?
- What kind of device do I need?
- What should I look for in a device?
- Where can I find such equipment?
- What are the best frequencies to use for specific diseases?
- How are the frequencies used?
- How were the frequencies determined?
- What precautions should I take?
- How do I give myself a Rife session?
- Where can I find additional help?
- What are the legal aspects to Rife Therapy?
- Why does my doctor not offer this therapy (in Europe, some do)?
Additionally, if you are looking to take responsibility for your own health, you also need answers to questions such as:
- How does resonance therapy compare with allopathic medicine?
- How does allopathic medicine compare with holistic treatments?
- Which complimentary therapies should I be looking at?
- What foods and nutrients do I need and what should I avoid?
These, and many more questions, are answered in great detail. The entire book is full of excellent advice on the whole world of holistic medicine, electromedicine in general and Rife therapy in particular. If you are looking for answers that can have a profound influence on your future health, this is certainly the best Rife-related reference book I have ever seen on the subject. It also covers past and current day medical politics in a very factual and well referenced way.
One of the key questions everybody has is "What frequency do I need?". There are lists of frequencies out there provided by the device makers, a consolidated list on the Internet, and many suggestions made on Rife community egroups. The problem is, those lists are just lists, a number next to a condition with little, if anything, in the way of explanation. This is where Nenah Sylver's book comes into its own.
A large part (over 200 pages) of The Rife Handbook is made up of the very extensive Frequency Directory (Chapter 5, also available as an eBook). Her Directory is not just a list, it is full of detailed explanations as to the origin of the disease, how it affects the body, and what other co-infections and conditions may exist along with the one you're looking up. Moreover, Dr. Sylver has worked hard to ensure that the frequencies are well researched. This information is unique; it saves hours of searching through thousands of messages on the various discussion groups. The Rife Handbook is an ideal reference manual for anyone using Rife therapy, giving you not only the best known tried and tested frequencies to use, but also well researched background information not found anywhere else. I feel it is an essential companion for everyone involved in Rife therapy or Rife research.
Effective Rife therapy is all about using the correct resonance frequencies in the right way. As I run the two largest Rife related discussion groups (Rife Yahoogroup and the Rife Forum as well as the Rife Wiki), I am often asked where to find good independent and reliable information about Rife therapy, particularly as there is so much disinformation out there on the Internet. Now I can answer that question very simply. Buy Nenah Sylver's Rife Handbook, and then join the Rife Forum to discuss any further questions you have with the experts, including Nenah herself.
In total, Dr. Sylver spent 12 years writing, researching, revising, and rewriting this book, which now contains an extensive index as well as three appendices. (The new third appendix, "Healing With Electromedicine and Sound," reports on electrotherapies that complement Rife frequency healing, including lasers, LEDs, and pulsed magnetic fields.) This new edition is well organized, with detailed headings, sub-headings, and sub-sub-headings in the text and a detailed Chapter Outline at the beginning of each chapter.
Nenah Sylver consulted just about every expert in the Rife world, and many in the electrotherapy area, to put together this very complete explanation of Rife and electromedicine therapies in the context of holistic medicine. When asked why she spent so many years of her life working on this book, she simply replied "because nobody else was doing it."
By the way, Dr. Nenah Sylver does not sell Rife devices, is not associated with any particular manufacturer, and has an excellent reputation in the Rife world. The first edition of this book sold over 6000 copies worldwide, to great acclaim and with no paid advertising whatsoever. When the first edition went out of print, used copies of it were selling on Amazon.com from $150 to $820 (as of this writing). So at just over $100, this edition with twice as many pages, is a real bargain.
The Rife Handbook has been praised by many health professionals and researchers in the electromedicine and Rife fields, as well as those in the related arenas of complementary and holistic (alternative) medicine. Even if you don't yet own a frequency device, the amount of practical information ensures that this volume belongs on your bookshelf.

Awesome--thorough, interesting, even inspiring, September 2, 2009
This review is from: The Rife Handbook of Frequency Therapy with a Holistic Health Primer (Hardcover)
When the 2001 version of this book was published ("The Handbook of Rife Frequency Healing: holistic technology for cancer and other diseases"), I was blown away by the information. I had never heard of Royal Rife, who invented this machine in the 1930's that could kill microbes, using the principle of resonance or resonant frequencies. Without drugs or surgery, Rife and the doctors who worked with him eliminated cancer, TB, staph and strep infections, all kinds of diseases. Not surprisingly, the pharmaceutical industry didn't like this and did everything they could to eliminate the competition.
Fortunately for us, the technology has survived. Even better, Rife machines are available all over the world, some as low as $1000. Not a bad investment at all when you consider what they can do.
I loved the old book, so when Dr. Nenah Sylver's new book came out I immediately bought it, even though it was double the price. It was worth every penny. At almost twice the number of pages, this book doesn't make for light reading. Every topic in the book is expanded - the section on food, how Rife's machine really worked (a bit technical at times), plus chapter 4 on how to use the machines, what they can be used for, what to do if you're not getting results, etc. I really liked chapter 4 because it lays everything out for you with questions and answers.
Chapter 1 is interesting too, with updated information on the drug companies and side effects of drugs. Dr. Sylver makes the point that the phrase "side effects" is a red herring, meant to distract you from the fact that everything you feel from drugs is an effect. But somehow, calling it a "side" effect detracts you from how poisonous the drugs really are. There's some new information on the dangers of vaccines, along with sometimes amusing accounts in boxes that are scattered throughout the book.
Chapter 3 was entirely rewritten too, it describes many alternative therapies like colloidal silver and light therapy. This chapter alone will save you thousands in medical bills. I bought a colloidal silver generator and began making the stuff. I swear I was getting the flu, but the silver nipped it in the bud.
Chapter 5 is even better than it was in the first book. It contains all the diseases and frequencies, but there's so much more text about the diseases, how they incubate, what parts of the body they infect, and what else you can do for yourself besides apply frequencies. It's like getting a 200 page mini lesson on how the body works. A lot less dry than a medical textbook, but chock full of good information.
One of the best features of the book is how well it's organized. There's a chapter outline at the beginning of each chapter, which is very helpful for telling you exactly what's in the book and on what page. With that, you almost don't need an index, but this book has an index too. And I almost forgot, there are many pages of photos. Some are interesting for historical reasons, the ones with Rife, his wife, his microscope and ray machine, and newspaper clippings of the period. If you were at all skeptical that this technology existed, the clippings will convince you otherwise. Then there are photos of different types of Rife devices to go with the explanations of how they work. If you want to buy any of these machines, go to Appendix A.
I can't say enough good things about this book. I'm glad it's in hardcover, the binding on the old softcover was falling apart. Even if you have the old edition, get this new one. And save up to buy a Rife machine. I am.
