Rife & the Cancer Virus
In 1920 Royal Rife identified the human cancer virus using the worlds most powerful microscope (which he created), cultured the virus (on salted pork, the best growing medium), and injected it into rats. These injections caused cancer in every one of the rats (all 400 of them). Later he was able to find a frequency of electromagnetic energy that would cause the cancer virus to self destruct when within that energy field. He created a device that emitted that energy field and was successful at destroying cancer viruses inside patients who were within close proximity of his device.

In 1934, the University of Southern California appointed a Special Medical Research Committee which brought 16 terminal cancer patients from Pasadena County Hospital to Rife's San Diego Laboratory and clinic for treatment. This team included doctors and pathologists assigned to examine the patients, if still alive, in 90 days. After the 3 months of treatment, the Committee concluded that 14 of the patients had been completely cured. The treatment was then adjusted and the remaining 2 also were cured within the next 4 weeks.

On November 20, 1931, forty-four of the nation's most respected medical authorities honored Royal Rife with a banquet billed as "The End To All Diseases" at the Pasadena estate of Dr. Milbank Johnson.

By 1939, almost all of these distinguished doctors and scientists were denying that they had ever met Rife. This complete reversal was the result of pressure from the drug companies on them. 'Pressure' is a very nice way of saying it. On the eve of a press conference to announce the results of the 1934 study on Rife's cancer therapy, Dr. Milbank Johnson, former president of the Southern California AMA, was fatally poisoned and his papers "lost". Also, after a failed attempt by Morris Fishbein to buy the rights to Rife's healing instrument for the medical drug industry, Rife's labs were destroyed by arson and sabotage. Dr. Nemes, who had duplicated some of the work of Rife, was killed in a mysterious fire which destroyed all his research papers. A similar fire also destroyed the Burnett Lab, which was validating Rife's work. Royal Rife himself was killed in 1971 by an "accidental" lethal dose of Valium and alcohol at Grossmont Hospital.

Participating in the original 1934 USC study were the following people: Director of the Northwestern Medical School Arthur Kendall, president of USC Rufus Klein-Schmidt, Milbank Johnson, Edward Kopps of the Metabolic Clinic in La Jolla, George Fischer of the NY Childrens Hospital, Kurt Meyer of the Hooper Foundation in San Francisco, and the Chief Surgeon of Santa Fe Railway Whalen Morrison.

Dr. Milbank Johnson, who was the professor of Physiology and Clinical Medicine at USC, and chairman of the Special Medical Research Committee, operated his own cancer clinic utilizing the Rife therapy for 10 years. He was able to document many cases of cancer reversal there.

By the late 1950's even independent doctors and labs (among them New York's Presbyterian Hospital) - unaware of Rife's work, were bringing forth their own proof that cancer was an infectious viral disease, and maintained that "cancer did not consist of a localized tumor alone." They described it as a generalized disease caused by an organism in the blood. It could be that all of us have that virus and that it doesn't create tumors except when there's enough toxicity due to chemical exposure, unhealthy habits, or poorly oxygenated blood. Microbes exist to bring back to the earth that which is weakened. It is necessary to detox and live a healthy lifestyle as well as remove the virus that can turn cells cancerous.

CLINICAL SUMMARY
Massage is an ancient technique that involves manual manipulation of muscles and soft tissues of the body. It increases circulation and promotes relaxation. In addition, it has important emotional and psychological benefits as well. Recent studies have shown that massage can alleviate symptoms such as stress/anxiety, nausea, insomnia, pain, fatigue, and depression (1) (3) in cancer patients. There is also data which suggests that massage can reduce psychological and neurological complications associated with bone marrow transplantation (2). In other studies, reflexology (foot massage) was found to alleviate pain and nausea in cancer patients (4). There is also preliminary data indicating that post-operative arm massage can decrease pain and discomfort after lymph node dissection (5). Other studies suggest that manual lymphatic drainage or MLD, which involves specialized light rhythmic massage, can reduce lymphedema in breast cancer patients (6).

The various forms of massage that are commonly practiced are Swedish massage, Shiatsu, Reflexology, and Tuina. Swedish massage is the most common and consists of five basic strokes and their variations. Reflexology involves massaging specific areas (reflex points) on the hands or feet that are believed to correspond to particular regions in the body. Shiatsu and Tuina are techniques that originated in Japan and China. They both involve stimulation of acupuncture points and meridians to ensure proper flow of energy and blood to facilitate healing. Massage is generally safe and being increasingly used as a complementary therapy to provide relief from certain symptoms of cancer and other illnesses. However, patients suffering from cancer, heart disease, or arthritis should consult a qualified massage therapist for treatment.

LITERATURE SUMMARY AND CRITIQUE
Cassileth BR and Vickers AJ. Massage therapy for symptom control: Outcome study at major cancer center. J Pain Symptom Manage 2004;28(3):244-249. This study included 1,290 cancer patients over a 3-year period. Patients received massage in 20-minute (for inpatients) or 60-minute (for outpatients) sessions. The variations of massage administered were Swedish massage, light-touch massage and reflexology (foot massage). Researchers observed that massage significantly improved pain, nausea, fatigue, depression, and anxiety in the patients with benefits lasting longer (up to 48 hours) in outpatients compared to inpatients. They also found that Swedish and light-touch massages were more effective than reflexology. Since massage is noninvasive and inexpensive, it can be used to alleviate several symptoms associated with cancer.

Soden K, et al. A randomized controlled trial of aromatherapy massage in a hospice setting. Palliat Med 2004;18(2):87-92. Forty-two patients with advanced cancer were randomly assigned to receive weekly massages, massages using lavender essential oil (combined massage), or no intervention over a 4-week period. There was a significant improvement in sleep outcomes in both the massage and combined massage groups compared to those in the control group. There was also significant reduction in depression in the massage group. Researchers suggest that aromatherapy massage is effective in the palliative care of cancer patients but concluded that more studies with larger sample size are needed.
