Georges Lakhovsky was an exceptional scientist and inventor who pioneered the theory of cellular oscillation, according to which the cells are small oscillatory circuits emitting electromagnetic waves. This has now been proven by the research of Fritz-Albert Popp and others. At a time when few people had even heard of electromagnetism, Lakhovsky was investigating ways to use it to treat illnesses like cancer and foster better health. He was thinking far ahead of his generation, and he left behind a rich legacy of research.
Lakhovsky claimed to identify the existence of an impalpable substance, which penetrates all objects and living beings, extending into the universe and interstellar space. He called this substance Universion (Universe + Ion). According to Lakhovsky, it is the basic substance from which all physical matter and living beings are derived by way of condensation. Many of his ideas about the universal source of all life and matter are explained in his book “L’Universion”.
Early Years
Georges Lakhovsky was born September 17th, 1869, in Vileyka near Minsk, Imperial Russia, (currently Belarus). He was the son of Jacob Jacques Jankel Movschovitch Lakhovsky and Tauba Eleonora Elievna Lakhovsky. His father was the senior judge of the community of Minsk and a professor of oriental languages. From an early age Lakhovsky was interested in inventing and at the age of 6, he designed and built a grain mill consisting of a steam-driven paddle wheel on his grandfather’s property. Owing to his high intelligence, at the age of 12, he studied in Minsk until 1888 when he went to Odessa to continue his studies in the School of Arts and Crafts.
In 1894, at the age of 25, Lakhovsky finished his studies and moved from Odessa to Paris where he studied physics and engineering at Sorbonne Université. Most of his friends were medical students, and so he also studied anatomy and physiology together with them.
A Railway Accident
After a railway accident, in which he almost became a victim, he decided to investigate the causes of this accident. As a result of this investigation, he created engineering proposals for improving mounting rails to the sleepers. He designed a step bolt to lock rails safely to sleepers and a ruler to measure the slope of a railway line and to reduce the time needed to lay down rails. This device made the railway more stable and solid.
June 2nd, 1901, his brother Joseph Pierre Lakhovsky died in Paris, and the loss of his younger brother, who was very close to him, was an emotional shock.
Challenging Times
In 1905, he married a young Parisian, Louise Anne-Marie Reinach, and they had three children: Pierre Joseph Lakhovsky, born April 25, 1907, Nadine Lakhovsky, born August 19, 1910, and Serge Avraham Lakhovsky, born December 18, 1913. Serge Lakhovsky lived to carry on Georges’ legacy until his death on January 3rd, 2003, at 89 years old.
In 1906, Lakhovsky became seriously ill with a stomach ulcer, but he soon recovered with a strict diet. In 1907, Lakhovsky lost his father and in the same year, he naturalized as a French citizen.
In 1911, he became seriously ill again, and his prognosis was grim. Instead of giving up and falling into severe depression, he completely immersed himself in work, using every moment of life allotted to him. He extensively researched cellular biology and cellular oscillation. He began studying the effect of short electromagnetic waves on biological organisms and cells. Much of his early studies on cell biology provided a foundation for his later inventions in treating disease.
In 1914, the war began, and Lakhovsky served France in many capacities. By the end of the war, Lakhovsky devoted himself entirely to scientific disciplines. He was passionate about radio and the discoveries of Hertz, Branly, Marconi, General Ferrie, and the work of d’Arsonval. He continued to design devices and invented a lamp with multiple electrodes for aircraft (French patent number 601,155) and German (patent number 427,695).
A Love of Inventing
Radio broadcasting had come of age, but the quality of the audio was still inferior. Lakhovsky had the idea to build a highly damped speaker diaphragm with double-walled pavilion, that considerably improved the sound quality. Over time he brought successive enhancements to this invention, improving sound reproductions, earpieces, and double-lined loudspeakers filled with a mix of an oil fluid, and gums in solutions with glycerin jelly. The resulting sounds exhibited a richer range of acoustics in its harmony of frequencies.
Cellular Oscillations
Aside from acoustic engineering inventions, Lakhovsky was interested in cellular biology. He was particularly fascinated with the works of Dr. Louis-Félix Henneguy, a French zoologist and embryologist. Lakhovsky researched the concept of “Cellular Oscillation” from the structure of the nucleus presented by Dr. Henneguy. He conceived that oscillating circuits cannot vibrate without the induction of radiant energy. At that time the world was fascinated by the discoveries of the Astro-physicists Hess, Gôkel, Kolhôrster, and Millikan, on ultra-penetrating cosmic waves.
Lakhovsky brought two ideas together: cellular oscillation and cosmic waves. He formed a hypothesis on the chemistry of the living physical bodies, that their component parts are vibratory, and oscillations occur within the radiating, vibrating energies. Lakhovsky thought that the living cell is powered by integrating the oscillatory phenomena of heat, light, electricity, and magnetism. That the organic chemical corpuscles respond, in varying degrees of manifestations, to the laws of exchange and interlinkages, of the resonances, and inductions that exist on earth, in the solar system. This was explained in his book “Cellular Oscillation” published in 1921.
Lakhovsky further explained in his books, Le Secret de la Vie, and especially in La Terre et Nous, that every living cell draws its oscillatory energy from the field of secondary radiations resulting from the ionization of the geological substances of the earth by cosmic radiations.
He proposed that many internal and external stimuli can disturb the oscillating equilibrium of cells. For instance, a great variation in the intensity of the ambient radiations (cosmic, atmospheric, and telluric), the demineralization of the organic matter constituting the cellular substance, or traumas causing the destruction of the nucleus and the protoplasm by shock, are common causes of cellular disturbance, and consequently, of illness and death. Certain natural radiations are particularly toxic, especially those originating on Earth (geopathic currents). Many cancer cases have been attributed to these toxic radiations and proven experimentally, notably in Germany by Dr. Rambeau of Marburg. Therefore, earth radiation sometimes causes disturbance of the cellular oscillatory equilibrium of the organism.
Early "Electro-Culture"
In December 1924, Lakhovsky also began experimenting with metal circuits: or "oscillating circuits" using first copper and later various metals. He was invited to research his equipment at the Salpêtrière Hospital.
He inoculated 10 geranium plants with cancer cultures that produced tumors. After 30 days, tumors had developed in all 30 cm (12") in diameter around the center of the plant. He took one of the 10 infected plants and simply fashioned a heavy copper wire in one loop, an open-ended coil about antennae or a tuning coil, collecting and concentrating oscillation energy from extremely high-frequency cosmic rays. The diameter of the copper loop determined which range of frequencies would be captured. He found that the 30 cm loop captured frequencies that fell within the resonant frequency range of the plant's cells. This captured energy reinforced the resonant oscillations naturally produced by the nucleus of the germanium's cells. This allowed the plant to overwhelm the oscillations of the cancer cells and destroy the cancer. The tumors fell off in less than 3 weeks and by 2 months the plant was thriving. All the other cancer-inoculated plants without the antennae coil- died within 30 days. In his book, Lakhovsky shows pictures of the recovered plant after 2 months, 6 months, and 1 year. Three years later, with the original coil left in place, the plant grew into a very robust specimen. These “oscillating circuits” were without any artificial excitation. This was the early beginning of “electro-culture”. on plants.
Experiments with Terminally Ill Cancer Patients
Lakhovsky then proceeded to tackle cancerous tumors in humans and fashioned loops of copper wire that could be worn around the waist, neck, elbows, wrists, knees, or ankles of people. He found that over time relief of painful symptoms was obtained. He theorized that these simple coils, worn continuously around certain parts of the body, would invigorate the vibrational strength of cells and increase the immune response which in turn detoxified the cells and mitigated tumors.
The Radio Cellular Oscillator
Next, Lakhovsky construed a device that produced a broad range of high-frequency pulsed signals that radiate energy to the patient via two round resonators, one resonator acting as a transmitter and the other as a receiver. He called it a Radio Cellular Oscillator. The machine generates a very wide spectrum of high frequencies coupled with static high-voltage charges applied to the resonators. These high voltages cause a corona discharge around the perimeter of the outside resonator ring that Lakhovsky called effluvia. The patient sat on a wooden stool in between the two resonators and was exposed to these energies for about fifteen minutes. The frequency waves sped up the recovery process by stimulating the resonance of healthy cells in the patient and in doing so, increased the immune response to the disease organisms. This invention produced very short electric waves, from 2 to 10 meters in length.
In 1925, Lakhovsky wrote a Radio News Magazine article entitled "Curing Cancer with Ultra Radio Frequencies." That year Lakhovsky was invited to apply his Radio Cellular Oscillator to terminally ill cancer patients which resulted in positive effects. However, during one experiment, Lakhovsky received a discharge of 1600 volts by touching the device. He was paralyzed for more than three weeks. He underwent therapy with massage and magnetism and after two weeks he was fully recovered. This event allowed him later, with his theories, to understand the reasons for the effectiveness of massage and magnetism.
In 1926 he published “The Origin of Life”, prefaced by d’Arsonval
For six years he continued his cancer research at the Salpétriere Hospital. He employed short waves, using very low power, from 10 to 12 watts, with a limited duration of treatment. He succeeded in curing some terminal cancer patients but also experienced failures. He continued his experiments in other hospitals throughout Paris. However, in 1929, he gave up using short waves emitted on a single wavelength due to its potentially harmful thermal damage.
Multiple-Wave Oscillator
In 1931, due to limitations of his first short wave (from 2 to 10 m) oscillator and because of its ineffectiveness in some cases, he developed a more sophisticated device he called “The Multiple Wave Oscillator”. The device consisted of two broadband antennae (a sending and a receiving pair) composed of concentric sets of curved open-ended copper pieces suspended/held in place by silk threads, two metal stands to hold the two antennae, Oudin coil(s), and electromagnetic spark/pulse generator. This device emitted different electromagnetic wavelengths.
After many experiments, Lakhovsky succeeded in constructing an apparatus generating an electrostatic field in which all frequencies, from 3 meters to the infra-red region, could be produced. Hence, in this field, every cell could find its own frequency and vibrate in resonance. Moreover, he showed that a circuit supplied by damped high-frequency currents gives rise to numerous harmonics. These considerations led Lakhovsky to invent an oscillator of multiple wavelengths in the field in which every cell, every organ, every nerve, and every tissue, could find its unique frequency. To this end, he devised a diffuser consisting of a series of separated concentric oscillating circuits connected by silk threads. Thus, a type of oscillator was obtained giving all fundamental wavelengths from 10 cm to 400 meters, corresponding to frequencies of 750,000 to three milliards per second. In addition to this, each circuit emits numerous harmonics which, together with their fundamental waves, interference waves, and effluvia, may extend as far as the infra-red and visible light regions (1-300 trillion vibrations per second).
In the middle of 1931, Lakhovsky began to use his multiple-wave oscillator in different French clinics. He realized that better results might be obtained by giving an oscillatory shock to all the cells of the body simultaneously. Such a very brief shock, produced by damped electrostatic waves, does not cause a prolonged thermal effect, and therefore cannot injure the cells. Lakhovsky’s aim was to produce an oscillatory shock that would cause the diseased cells to oscillate periodically, or not at a specific rate. This proved positive in healing some cancer patients.
Each ring of his special antenna system radiated at a different wavelength and frequency dependent upon its diameter. The different size rings would set up interference patterns between themselves, producing a plethora of harmonic frequencies at many different wavelengths.
Cancer Treatment with Multiple Wave Oscillatory Device

When asked about his device treating illness Lakhovsky replied:
This is not to try to kill the microbe in living organisms, but to activate cellular oscillation of normal cells by applying a direct ray means appropriate to the balance and bring the disappearance of the effect of microbial oscillations. “He added: “The type of radiation produced by the waves I advocate is harmless in contrast to those of X-rays or radium.
Essentially, the device consists of a transmitter and a receiving resonator, both arranged to set up an electromagnetic field in their immediate vicinity. The patient is placed between the two oscillators separated from each other by about 0.8 to 1.5 meters. The current is then switched on and the apparatus functions instantly. The duration of treatment and number of applications depend on the state of the patient and the nature of the disease. In clinical practice, a quarter of an hour was usually employed for each application, with sessions every other day. It should be particularly noted that, unlike the average type of short-wave generator in use in medical practice, the Multiple Wave Oscillator had no reported side effects. The electric field generated by this apparatus cannot overheat or burn the tissues.
In electronics, circuits that generate these recurrent sine waves can be called electromagnetic resonators, but more commonly they are referred to as oscillators. Lakhovsky tells us that not only do all living cells produce and radiate oscillations of very high frequencies, but they also receive and respond to oscillations imposed upon them from outside sources. According to Lakhovsky, this outside source of radiation or oscillations is due to cosmic rays that bombard the Earth continuously as well modern-day sources such as TVs, radios, computers, cell phones, and countless others. This incredible realization, achieved during the golden years of radio, not only led to a new method of healing by the application of high-frequency waves but broadened appreciation for the newly emerging field of hidden science known as Radionics or Radiesthesia.
When these outside sources of oscillations are in resonance with cellular frequencies, the strength and vigor of that cell will be reinforced and become stronger. If, on the other hand, these outside frequencies are of a slightly different frequency, rather than reinforce the cell's native oscillations, they might dampen or weaken them, resulting in a loss of vigor and vitality for that cell. The cells of disease-causing organisms within an infected person produce different frequencies than that of normal, healthy cells. For people or plants suffering from disease conditions, Lakhovsky found that if he could increase the amplitude (of the resonant frequency) of the oscillations of healthy cells, this increase would overwhelm and dampen the oscillations produced by the disease-causing cells, thus harmonizing, and balancing the human biofield. Lakhovsky viewed the progression of the disease as essentially a battle between the resonant oscillations of host cells versus the oscillations emanating from pathogenic organisms.
When questioned by one of his friends why he did not take the fee for treatment, Lakhovsky replied: “I have dedicated my whole life, all my money to fight cancer. The best reward is to see how poor people are cured by the use of my machine. There is nothing better than to see patients after several years healthy and full strength, in whose eyes I read thanks and appreciation. It is for me more valuable than all the riches and honors of this world.”
January 14, 1931, his other younger brother Abraham Alexandre Lakhovsky died at the age of 49. That same year, Lakhovsky published his classic text “Cellular Oscillation”. It pictured dozens of experiments that had taken place in France and various other countries by scientific bodies over several years. The results of his research were submitted to Paris’ Academy of Sciences, London’s Royal Society, Berlin’s Chemical Society, and Portugal’s Academy of Sciences (20 July 1933).
Lakhovsky received authorization from the managers of several Parisian hospitals to provide care for several cancer sufferers, in some cases achieving unexpected cures from 1931 to 1938. In 1937, he exhibited at the Vienna Congress the results he achieved with its latest device.
The Secret of Life
In his text “Secret of Life”, Lakhovsky was one of the first to demonstrate that living cells emit and receive electromagnetic radiation at their own resonant frequencies. He demonstrated that health was determined by the relative strength of these cellular oscillations, and pathogenic organisms can corrupt them, causing interference with these oscillations. In conclusion, his theory may be summarized in the form of this threefold principle: Life is created by radiation, maintained by radiation, and destroyed by oscillatory disequilibrium.
For Lakhovsky, the cell is a small resonator or living oscillator. Life or oscillation of the cell nucleus is the result of radiation and is maintained by it. Life therefore, considered as a harmony of vibrations, can be altered, or destroyed by any circumstance causing an imbalance oscillation, including the influence of certain microbes that reduce the cell’s radiation resistance. It is therefore necessary that the amplitude of the cell oscillation reaches a suitable value to protect the body. The cell becomes diseased when it is forced to vibrate in conditions different from those posed by its existence. To cure this cell, one must make a cancellation of appropriate frequency and amplitude that is giving back the lack of cell energy that makes it healthy and puts it in its primitive state.
Lakhovsky’s research led him to believe that not only do all living cells produce and radiate oscillations of very high frequencies, but they also receive and respond to oscillations imposed upon them from outside sources. If these outside oscillations are in harmony (same frequency) with that of the cell, the strength and vigor of that cell will be reinforced and become stronger. If, on the other hand, these outside frequencies are dissimilar, the oscillations produced by the cell will be weakened and dampened, resulting in a loss of vigor for that cell. The cells of disease-causing organisms produce different frequencies than that of normal, healthy cells in plants, animals, and people. For people or plants suffering from disease conditions, Lakhovsky found that if he increased the amplitude (not the frequency) of the oscillations of healthy cells, this increase would overwhelm and dampen the oscillations produced by the disease-causing cells, thus bringing about the demise of the disease-causing cells. Lakhovsky’s goal was to produce and transmit a full spectrum of harmonic frequencies within the body, allowing each cell to resonate with the appropriate frequency.
Lakhovsky’s research demonstrated that it is experimentally possible to manipulate the resonance pattern of a cell’s vibrational field to actively destroy a cancerous tumor. The principle of this treatment is that contrary to present-day cancer treatments, it changes the disease by changing the energy frequency pattern of the affected cells, and not by chemically interfering with the cell’s metabolism.
Thus, Lakhovsky treated the cellular terrain with his multiple oscillatory devices to correct any unbalanced terrain disturbance. Lakhovsky was one of the first to write about the benefits of grounding to the earth. He suggested connecting to the soil employing an appropriate earth connection and lying across the wire at night, and in the daytime adding a metallic plate in the soles of shoes to connect to the earth.
“The Secret of Life” was first published in French in 1935. The book appeared later in Spanish, French, Italian, and finally in English in 1939. "My experiments in the field of radiation research are now established facts that could not be explained by the classical theories of science until now. My new theory finally provides the necessary explanation. In conclusion, my theory can be summarized in the form of this threefold principle: Life is created by radiation, sustained by radiation, and destroyed by an oscillatory imbalance.... "
Later Life
In 1941, when France was occupied by the Nazi Germans, Lakhovsky, a vocal anti-Nazi, had to leave Paris, and moved to New York. He was welcomed in New York by Dr. Disraeli Kobak. In a letter from Lakhovsky to Dr. Kobak dated May 20, 1941, wrote:
“As you may have heard, I had to leave France on account of the numerous books I have written against Nazism. Germans are entering Paris and confiscated my belongings and have burned all my papers”.
Lakhovsky, together with Dr. Kobak treated several thousand patients suffering from various diseases using the Multiple Wave Oscillator between 1941 and 1958.
In January 1945, the “Lakhovsky Multiples Waves Institute” was founded in New York. Its chairman was Disraeli Kobak, MD, who was also “Editor Emeritus” of the Physical Therapy Journals. Its deputy chairman was scientist Albert Verleyh and Serge Lakhovsky was the secretary.
After some fifteen years, hundreds of Multiple Wave Oscillators were being used by veterinarians, doctors, and surgeons to treat numerous diseases, mainly in Austria, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Italy, Luxemburg, Monaco, Morocco, the Pacific Islands, the Philippines, Portugal, the Russian Federation, Spain, San Marino, Switzerland, and the United States. Since its inception in 1931, the Multiple Wave Oscillator has been applied by many workers with no harmful effects on patients or medical personnel ever being reported. This is in striking contrast with short-wave therapy, X-rays, and radium, whose application, particularly in the case of the latter, has not infrequently been followed by the most serious consequences.
Many doctors and scientists began experimenting with Lakhovsky’s Multi-wave oscillator. The magnitude of Lakhovsky’s work was well-known among European biologists and physicists. Many eminent scholars, among them Dr. Caligaris, Professor of Neurology at the University of Rome, Professor Attilj, Chief Radiologist at San Spirito in Sassia Hospital in Rome, and Dr. Postma, a prominent Dutch physician have published volumes explaining Lakhovsky’s theories and inventions in Europe.
Death
Lakhovsky died August 31st, 1942, at the Adelphi Hospital in Brooklyn, after suffering from an auto accident. A limousine struck and injured him, and even though he was not severely harmed, he agreed to go to the hospital for evaluation. He died under suspicious circumstances. Lakhovsky’s son Serge was convinced that his father had been deliberately hit and then murdered in the hospital. He tried everything possible to find the perpetrators to no avail.
Soon after his death, multiple wave oscillators were removed from his clinic and hospitals and patients were told that the therapy was no longer available. Except for this brief trial in New York, Lakhovsky's work remained completely unknown to the American public. Even the spectacular success of the New York cases was quickly forgotten. It seems that hidden hands were at work when it came to obliterating the memory of Lakhovsky's Multi-Wave Oscillator in America.
A Legacy
Only a short time after Lakhovsky’s death the FDA made a complete ban on the employment of the Multiple Wave Oscillator on the grounds that this device “only served quackery and did not possess any healing effect”. Its sale and the treatment of people were banned, and the devices already sold were largely recovered and abolished in hospitals.
Today, many alternative medical equipment manufacturers and retailers claim to sell revised versions of Georges Lakhovsky's Multiple Wave Oscillator. Recently 3 original multiple wave oscillators were discovered once belonging to Dr. Boris Vassileff. These machines were produced during the years 1932 - 1942 by the Laboratoires C.O.L.Y.S.A, Georges Lakhovsky's former company in Paris.
A complete technical analysis study has been done by MultiWaveResearch -
At the time of his death, Lakhovsky was 73 years old, leaving his beloved wife and closest collaborator (his son Serge) who would continue his work with Dr. Kobak. He was buried in the Paris Cimetière de Passy. Lakhovsky’s wife, Louise Anne-Marie (Reinach) Lakhovsky died July 23, 1961, at the age of 80.
During the 1960s Serge Lakhovsky returned to France and continued work on a modernization of the Radio Cellular Oscillator and in particular the seven-metal oscillating circuit for the C.O.L.Y.S.A company.
Georges Lakhovsky was an exceptional scientist and inventor who pioneered the theory of cellular oscillation, according to which the cells are small oscillatory circuits emitting electromagnetic waves. This has now been proven by the research of Fritz-Albert Popp and others. At a time when few people had even heard of electromagnetism, Lakhovsky was investigating ways to use it to treat illnesses like cancer and foster better health.

He called this substance Universion (Universe + Ion). According to Lakhovsky, it is the basic substance from which all physical matter and living beings are derived by way of condensation. Many of his ideas about the universal source of all life and matter are explained in his book “L’Universion”.
