Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the potential use of frequency to kill pathogens in water, specifically exploring methods to create potable water. Participants consider various approaches, including the use of sonication and references to historical figures like Royal Rife.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested, Experimental/applied

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks assistance in creating a system similar to Rife's unit to kill bacteria in water using frequency.
  • Another participant mentions the use of sonication in laboratory settings to disrupt cells or biofilms, noting that sensitivity varies among different types of bacteria, particularly highlighting the resistance of Gram-positive bacteria.
  • A participant questions the credibility of Royal Rife, suggesting he was not a reliable source despite his innovative instruments.
  • The original poster expresses a desire for practical suggestions using everyday appliances to construct a frequency-based unit, citing resource limitations.
  • A link to a video is shared, purportedly offering a cheap solution to the water purification problem.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the credibility of Royal Rife and the effectiveness of frequency-based methods for killing pathogens. There is no consensus on the best approach or the reliability of the proposed methods.

Contextual Notes

Some claims about the effectiveness of sonication and frequency-based methods depend on specific conditions and definitions that are not fully explored in the discussion.

can anyone help me to figure out how to make a system similar to Rife's unit? i would like to try 'kill' bacteria in water by running a frequency of some sort to potentially kill the bacteria and create potable water
 
Biology news on Phys.org
In a lab setting, we use sonication to break cells or biofilms. However, not all cell are equally sensitive to sonication. For example, Gram-positive are more resistant due to their think wall.

For assessing killing, one must measure colony forming units (CFU), which are measure of bacteria that are alive. To assess killing, you can look at a killing curve by measuring your CFU at t=0 and then at specific intervals. You can then measure the % killing or % survival.
 
Are you talking about Royal Rife? He was a nut. Built beautiful instruments, but a nut all the same.
 
yeah I am talking about Royal Raymond Rife, thanks for the replies guys. Do you have any suggestions that involve everyday appliances etc, that could be used to construct a unit along similar principles? unfortunately I am a tad restricted by resources
