AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on creating a system similar to Rife's unit to eliminate bacteria in water using specific frequencies. Participants highlight the effectiveness of sonication in breaking down cells and biofilms, noting that different bacteria types, particularly Gram-positive bacteria, exhibit varying resistance levels. To evaluate the effectiveness of the method, measuring colony-forming units (CFU) is essential, allowing for the creation of a killing curve to track bacterial survival over time. The conversation also touches on the historical context of Royal Raymond Rife, with some skepticism about his methods. Suggestions for constructing a similar unit using everyday appliances are sought, with a link to a video offering a potential low-cost solution for addressing water contamination.

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

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? Unfortunatly I am a tad restricted by resources

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book. This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...
