The Rife Handbook

1998 (1st Edition) (not shown): The Rife Handbook began as a photocopied, spiral-bound manuscript with a yellow cover that was distributed by a manufacturer of "sound and light technology" frequency equipment. When a syndicated TV station ran a 3-minute feature on the equipment, the author was mentioned as a contact person. Within six months, she received phone calls from over one thousand people who wanted more information. Many of the questions she was asked, and the answers she gave, would appear in the FAQ section of Chapter 4 of the next Rife Handbook.

2001 (2nd Edition): This professionally printed and bound book, with a different spelling of the author's name, was less than half the size of the current edition. Although much appreciated at the time, this early softcover is not recommended today for either the serious researcher or casual reader. Frequency technology--and our understanding of it--have vastly improved since then, making this book obsolete. Plus, this edition lacked an index and multiple headings, making it difficult to find information easily.

2001 Softcover, 448 pages.

Out-of-print.

2009 (3rd Edition):  Due in part to the continual influx of groundbreaking discoveries from key Rife researchers, the author started revising the 2001 softcover book almost as soon as it was off the press. With almost twice as many pages as the previous softcover edition, the 2009 hardcover featured improved formatting, up to four levels of headings, and an index. One reviewer referred to it as "the bible of holistic medicine for the 21st century," and portions of the book were translated into German and Korean.

2009 Hardcover, 760 pages.

       Out-of-print.

2011 (4th Edition): With a slightly different title, this book closely followed its 2009 predecessor but contained some major updates and rewrites.

2018 (5th Edition):

2011 Hardcover, 768 pages.

       Out-of-print.

2021 (5th Edition, SECOND printing):

Similar to the 5th Edition, this edition contained streamlined frequencies, more protocols in Chapter 5, new pathogens and frequencies (also in Chapter 5), and updated information on medical politics.

2021 Hardcover. 1104 pages.
