Reference & History
A guide to the major compiled frequency databases used in bioelectromagnetic and electro-therapy research — their origins, evolution, and what each list contains.
Overview
Since Royal Raymond Rife's foundational work in the 1930s, researchers, clinicians, and hobbyists have compiled frequency databases to catalogue which electromagnetic frequencies appear to affect specific pathogens, tissues, and biological processes. These lists represent decades of experimental observation, cross-referenced case reports, and theoretical modeling. No single list is definitive; each reflects the tools, theories, and community that produced it.

The CAFL is the most widely referenced community-compiled frequency database in the Rife research world. It consolidates frequencies from dozens of independent researchers into a single annotated document, complete with notes on sources and reported outcomes.
The CAFL grew out of informal exchanges among Rife enthusiasts during the 1990s, a period when the internet first enabled the scattered global community to share clinical observations directly. Early mailing lists and bulletin boards — particularly those associated with the Rife Forum and BioElectric networks — became clearing houses where practitioners posted the frequencies they found effective and invited others to replicate the results.
Online communities begin systematically trading frequency observations. Individual researchers maintain private lists that circulate via email and early web forums.
Volunteers begin merging individual lists. Frequencies are cross-referenced against Rife's original published work, Hulda Clark's parasite-frequency research, and EMEM device logs.
The list grows from a bare frequency table into an annotated document. Each entry gains source citations, reported conditions, and confidence notes — distinguishing "well-replicated" frequencies from speculative entries.
The CAFL is imported into Rife software tools including FSCAN, BioElectric Shield software, and eventually Spooky2, making it directly programmable into device sessions.
The list continues to expand through user submissions and peer review within the global frequency-therapy community. Version-controlled copies exist across multiple repositories.

The General Frequency List represents the foundational layer of frequency research — the core frequencies derived most directly from Rife's original laboratory work and early replication studies, stripped of the broader annotations found in the CAFL.
The General Frequency List traces its lineage directly to the frequency sets Rife recorded during experiments with his Universal Microscope at the Rife Research Laboratory in San Diego in the 1930s and 1940s. After Rife's work was effectively suppressed in the 1940s and 1950s, his notes and correspondence were preserved by colleagues including John Crane and later rediscovered by researchers such as Barry Lynes, whose 1987 book The Cancer Cure That Worked sparked renewed interest in Rife's original frequency tables.
Rife documents specific frequencies at which individual microorganisms devitalize under his microscope. These become the seed data for all later frequency lists.
After official suppression, Rife's frequency records circulate privately among naturopathic practitioners and electro-medicine researchers. Hand-copied lists pass through networks in the U.S., U.K., and Australia.
The Cancer Cure That Worked brings Rife's frequencies back into public awareness. Researchers begin formally cataloguing the recovered data alongside new experimental work.
Researchers attempt to validate Rife's original MORs using modern signal generators. A "General List" of the most-replicated, device-independent frequencies is distilled from the broader CAFL as a practitioner-friendly starting point.

Electro Therapy Device (ETD) frequency lists are compiled specifically around the capabilities and waveform characteristics of individual devices — recognizing that delivery method, carrier wave, and output impedance all affect how a frequency interacts with biological tissue.
When researchers attempted to reproduce Rife's results using commercially available signal generators in the 1980s and 1990s, they quickly discovered that identical frequencies produced different biological outcomes depending on the device, electrode type, and waveform. This led to device-specific lists that account for these variables. Key figures include Dr. Hulda Clark (Zapper protocols), Dr. Robert C. Beck (Blood Electrification and magnetic pulsing frequencies), and the developers behind devices such as the EMEM, GB-4000, F-Scan, and Spooky2.
Following Rife's laboratory, John Crane develops updated devices and publishes frequency protocols tuned to their specific output characteristics — an early recognition that device and frequency are inseparable.
Clark publishes her Zapper protocol in The Cure for All Diseases, introducing a square-wave, 30 kHz carrier-based frequency system targeted at parasites, bacteria, and viruses. Her frequency lists are among the most widely distributed ETD lists globally.
Beck introduces blood electrification at 3.92 Hz (binaural) and magnetic pulsing at 0.5 Hz, distinct from Rife's MORs — an ETD list built around electromagnetic microbe neutralization at the blood-stream level.
Researchers publish frequency sets optimized for the EMEM plasma tube device and the GB-4000 function generator, accounting for harmonic amplification effects unique to these platforms.
Spooky2 launches with one of the largest device-specific databases, with separate frequency lists for contact, remote, plasma, and PEMF modes — each calibrated to the different biophysical delivery mechanisms of the platform.

DNA frequency lists represent the most theoretically ambitious branch of frequency research — cataloguing electromagnetic resonances calculated from or empirically observed in DNA sequences, genes, and chromosomal structures.
The concept that DNA emits and responds to electromagnetic frequencies has roots in the biophysics of the 1960s–70s, when researchers first measured biophoton emission from living cells. The field gained momentum through the work of Dr. Peter Gariaev (wave genetics, Russia), Dr. Glen Rein (DNA conformational change under scalar fields), and Nobel laureate Dr. Luc Montagnier, who published studies in 2011 demonstrating that dilute solutions of bacterial DNA emit electromagnetic signals detectable at specific frequencies.
Concurrently, bioinformatics researchers developed algorithms to translate DNA base-pair sequences into acoustic and electromagnetic frequency spectra by mapping nucleotide sequences onto mathematical transforms — allowing theoretical frequency signatures to be calculated for any sequenced gene or pathogen.
Fritz-Albert Popp and others measure coherent light emission from living DNA — establishing that DNA is an electromagnetic emitter and not merely a chemical information store.
Dr. Peter Gariaev's group in Moscow reports that laser light modulated by DNA holographic signals can influence embryological development, suggesting DNA encodes information electromagnetically as well as chemically.
Researchers apply Fast Fourier Transforms (FFT) and resonant recognition modeling (Cosic RRM) to genomic databases, producing theoretical frequency signatures for proteins and pathogens from their amino acid sequences.
Nobel laureate Luc Montagnier publishes data showing filtered bacterial DNA solutions emit low-frequency electromagnetic signals (around 500–3,000 Hz) that can be digitally recorded and replayed — a landmark linking genomics to electrotherapy.
DNA-derived frequency sets are incorporated into modern device databases. The Spooky2 platform, for example, includes a dedicated DNA frequency generator that calculates custom sets from NCBI sequence data, allowing personalized sessions based on individual pathogen sequencing.

Compiled over decades of clinical and personal practice, Dr. Houck's curated frequency list represents the frequencies he returned to most often — the protocols that consistently produced results across a wide range of conditions in his work with the Wave-Z device and predecessor electro-therapy platforms.
Unlike community-aggregated lists such as the CAFL, Dr. Houck's frequency list is the product of a single practitioner's rigorous personal testing across many years of patient care and wellness research. Each entry in the list earned its place through repeated, observable outcomes — not through theoretical derivation or community submission.
Drawing on Rife's Mortal Oscillatory Rate research, Clark's parasite frequencies, and
independent clinical observations, Dr. Houck progressively refined a working set of
122 frequency items spanning infections, systemic conditions, organ support, and
structural concerns. The list is stored in the WaveZ database
under the group name FreqList and is the default session library
loaded by the Wave-Z application.
Dr. Houck begins applying Rife MORs and Hulda Clark's parasite frequencies, documenting outcomes case by case to identify which frequencies produced the most consistent results.
The list grows beyond pathogens to include frequencies for organ systems (kidney, liver, thyroid, adrenal), structural conditions (disc herniation, bone spurs, tendonitis), and endocrine balance — reflecting the holistic scope of his naturopathic practice.
As the Wave-Z device takes shape, Dr. Houck formalizes his list as the
primary built-in frequency database, encoding 122 items and 1,678 individual
frequencies into the WaveZ database
so practitioners can reproduce his protocols exactly.
The FreqList remains the go-to starting point for Wave-Z sessions, representing Dr. Houck's most trusted and field-tested frequencies — refined through years of direct application rather than theoretical research alone.
