I tried searching the FTMB, but didn't find an existing thread on this person.
Royal Raymond Rife was an inventor that built a optical microscope with a magnification of 60,000x with which he claimed he could view live viruses. (This in itself is a pretty big claim!!)
He claimed that he had discovered that each type of micro-organism had a specific (visual) frequency associated with it. And that this could be used in identifying specimens. (Whether this was a artifact of how his microscope operated is unclear.)
In his further research, he claimed that each organism had a specific resonant frequency (or combination of frequencies) that could be used to destroy it. This eventually led him to claim that he had found a cure for cancer.
Rife's work pointed in the direction of a new science of electromedicine and inevitably led to clashes with the establisment medical community. Naturally, such a contriversial fringe scientist has a web following. For instance : http://www.rife.org/index.html
