In order to submit a treatment methodology to the AMA you have to have it be subject to peer review, so that others can see if they can reproduce the results. As no one did any kind of peer review on his "beam device" it can not be determined if his claims were legitimate or not, therefore they can NOT be claimed to legitimate because they were NOT reviewed and were NOT reproduced. There are a lot of conspiracy theorists out there that think that doctors don't want a cure for cancer because they make more money off of treatments, which is ridiculous because what do you think would bring a doctor more glory - a treatment for cancer or a CURE for cancer? Also, it is now known that cancer is not a single disease but many different genetic abnormalities (ALL cancers are genetic in origin), so the doctor's "beam ray" probably would not have been able to cure "all cancers" - its just too far out of a claim. It makes more sense to go with the modern stuff that actually DOES have reproducible results. The scientists that do that usually wind up with things like the Nobel Prize, and rightfully so.

You refer to this portion:

"Rife and his latter-day supporters account for the absence of demonstrable equipment or detailed notes on its construction by reporting that Dr. Morris Fishbein, then editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association or alternatively the government, raided Rife's labs, destroyed his microscopes, seized his equipment and notes, and forced him to move on.[citation needed]"

You'll note that the end (in brackets) infers that the claim is unsubstantiated.
So, I cannot honestly say whether the AMA was right or wrong, when it is apparent that we don't even have it on a factual basis that the AMA was behind this action.

Based on the additional information at the Wiki site, it sounds as if Rife was FULL of false information.

And no, I'm not brainwashed.
And it's spelled "you're", not "your".
