contradicts established science— The claim itself is physically incoherent or contradicted by replication; the underlying hardware may be ordinary electronics.
A canonical physically-incoherent claim: a pathogen-specific 'mortal oscillatory rate' that selectively kills. The RF generator is ordinary hardware; the selective-lethal-resonance claim contradicts physics.
Origin & lineage
Royal Raymond Rife, US, 1920s–30s; later revived.
Claimed mechanism
A pathogen / tumor-specific 'mortal oscillatory rate' selectively destroys the target.
Plausibility
Implausible — pathogen (µm) vs RF wavelength (m) is a ~10⁶× scale mismatch; no selective lethal-resonance mechanism exists.
Evidence — grade F
No credible evidence; promoters have faced fraud actions; UK charities state it does not cure cancer.
The RF generator is ordinary, reusable electronics. Do NOT confuse with legitimate cousins that use known dosimetry — RF hyperthermia, ablation, tumor-treating fields (TTFields).
Set aside — claim
'Selective lethal resonance' on pathogens or tumors contradicts established electromagnetics.
Regulatory status by jurisdiction
Registration or clearance is a market-access fact, never proof of efficacy.
