In fact, it is quite possible that the MWO is more Tesla’s invention than Lakhovsky’s.

In 1931, Lakhovsky reached out to Tesla for help in creating a better MWO. Tesla had previously published “High Frequency Oscillators for Electrotherapeutic and Other Purposes.” Lakhovsky used some of Tesla’s concepts to design his first operational MWO, which included a powerful Tesla coil and two spark gaps.

Lakhovsky believed that cells functioned like resonant circuits and that the MWO could be used to resonate cells to their optimal frequency. He called the MWO a radio-cellular oscillator (RCO). Lakhovsky’s ideas were considered groundbreaking and were later published in his book “The Secret of Life.”

Fast forward to 1941, Lakhovsky made his way to New York where he conducted a seven-week clinical trial in which the results were remarkable. These trials were conducted at a major New York City hospital and that of a prominent Brooklyn urologist.

Lakhovsky passed away in 1942, but the research done by him and others interested in electrotherapeutic transformers using Tesla coils and alternating current at radio frequencies was groundbreaking. In fact, on September 6, 1932, Dr. Gustave Kolischer announced that Tesla’s high-frequency electrical currents were bringing about highly beneficial results in dealing with cancer, surpassing anything that could be accomplished with ordinary surgery.
