<p>Georges Lakhovsky (1869-1942) was a Russian engineer scientist author and inventor. His controversial medical treatment invention the Multiple Wave Oscillator is described as having been used by him in the treatment of cancer. Lakhovsky published books and articles that claimed and attempted to demonstrate that living cells emit and receive electromagnetic radiations at their own high frequencies. In 1939 he published The Secret of Life: Electricity Radiation and Your Body in which he claimed and attempted to demonstrate that good or bad health was determined by the relative health of these cellular oscillations and bacteria cancers and other pathogens corrupted them causing interference with these oscillations. Numerous depictions pictured in the book supposedly have Lakhovsky in a Paris France hospital conducting clinical research treating cancer patients with before during and after photographs.</p>
