SOME CONCERNS AND A PLEA FOR COMMON SENSE

You don't tug on superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off that old lone ranger
And you don't mess around with jim.

Jim Croce, "You Don't Mess Around With Jim"

I want to help non-medical people develop independence in matters of healthcare. While I think self-reliance is a good thing, I am becoming increasingly concerned because I am seeing, over and over again, examples where would-be healers become convinced that anyone with minimal skills and a frequency device can cure anything.

This is not true. Certainly all of us have our successes, but you can no more consistently accomplish good results in this fashion than you could build a nuclear submarine with a simple diagram of what the finished product should look like at the end.

Sometimes, as Jim Croce's song suggests, you better pay close attention to what you're messing with. Here is an example, based on a situation brought to my attention just recently:

Max (not real name) has a relative, Jill (also not real name) with cancer. Desperate to help her, Max bought a Rife-type frequency device after hearing how it had been used to cure cancer in a patient under treatment by a licensed physician in a Mexican clinic.

Jill did not go to Mexico for treatment. Instead, Max treated her at home. Unfortunately, Jill had a bad reaction to the frequency device, and Max did not know what to do. It was at this point he wrote to me.

Checking around, I found the device is a tube unit, made in the United States, but no longer in production. It uses a few of Dr. Rife's original frequency rates which are pre-loaded and cannot be altered unless the instrument is returned to the place where it was built.

The contact person in the United States with whom I spoke is open, ernest and committed to his product, but is untrained in its actual clinical use. He could not explain Jill's negative response to the device. Nor could he (or should he) suggest what to do to correct the situation.

I am certain no one purposely tried to mislead or take advantage of Max, and that everyone involved acted in a manner reflecting only the desire to do good for others. However, there is nothing to suggest an untrained individual would be able to get results similar to those obtained by the physician- as Max discovered shortly after starting Jill's treatment.

Everything that Max and the others did was noble and for all the right reasons. But good intentions are not always rewarded with good results.

Unfortunately, when Jill's treatment took a bad turn, neither she nor Max knew what to do to reverse it. Perhaps even worse, there was no one close by to reassure them or "take over" to reverse the situation.

I have no way to know how often this happens, because there is little feedback in the use groups. No one reports failures, and with cancer cases especially, there are seldom any long term or credible follow-up reports.

It is misguided to think that dealing with illness is so simple all one needs is an electric outlet, a machine to plug into it, and a switch to turn it on. Experience is the key, and, unfortunately, there is no substitute for experience.

Success or failure to achieve a good response is not the result of the technique or instrumentation, but the degree of skill and knowledge (or lack thereof) of the person rendering treatment.

I plead with everyone to avoid underestimating the seriousness of treating yourself or a loved one. Recognize your own limitations, be realistic in your expectations, and above all else, DO NO HARM.
