Transcript

Dr. Kevin Conners

Hello, everybody. This is Dr. Kevin Conners. Welcome to another episode of Conners Clinic Live podcast. Today, we have a special guest, my friend Mike Tigchelaar. He is a special guest for me because we use his equipment (the Rife) fairly exclusively for our patients and members. We have to keep him healthy because we’re dependent on him!  I want him to talk about how he started using the Rife machine, how he got into frequency therapy, and how he started this company. I want to give people a lot of confidence because we’ve been using Mike’s equipment for quite awhile. I was trying to think, Mike, when I bought my first F-117. Gosh, it had to be around 2010.

Mike Tigchelaar

Yeah, I would say at least a dozen years ago.

Dr. Kevin Conners

Yes, we used them mainly just in our office for awhile. I tell people the story of how it came to be that we send everybody home with a Rife now. But this is going to be about Mike, so let’s just jump into this.
I want to talk to you, Mike, about how you got started in this. It’s such a weird thing to get into this kind of business for somebody who isn’t a medical professional.

Mike Tigchelaar

Dr. Conners, I’ve always been interested in alternative medicine and things like that. But back in 2003, I was seeing a doctor named Dr. Gary Collier. I think he’s retired now, but he was out of Zeeland, Michigan, and he was trying to help me with some of my issues. He had acquired a Rife device. Back then, it was called a Beam Ray, and he couldn’t figure out how to run it. I was building a website for him as well. So he says: Hey, why don’t you take this home for a couple of weeks, see if you can figure it out. Run it for a while, see what it does. So that was my first contact with it, but at the same time, I was doing research because I was building his website on the history of Royal Rife and frequency delivery. So I took the system home. It was pretty advanced for its time. It was a computerized system, but it was an old DOS type system.

Dr. Kevin Conners

That was our first Rife machine, too, was a Beam Ray.

Mike Tigchelaar

Yeah, you know what I’m talking about. They had this big bulb up there and everything. So I had a few friends over, and we saw some good results with that. I was pretty amazed, and it’s stuff you couldn’t say was placebo. But at some point, I had to return it. Well, back then, that device was around $6,000. I called the company and ended up with the owner on the phone, and we began talking. We had different backgrounds culturally at the time, my background was musician, and his background I found out later on, was a used car salesman. So our approaches were different.  I’m not intending to be critical of the owner because culture affects how we determine what we do or don’t do. But in the musical culture, people don’t realize this – musicians never pay for music, they only pay for hardware, and it’s just an unspoken word. If I know a song or I know a piece, I share it with you, you share it with me. We don’t buy music. If you know something, that’s how I get it, and if I know something, that’s how you get it. We always pay for hardware, the amplifiers, the instruments, all that is always paid for. We understand that. But new music, no, you don’t pay for it. That’s not the culture.

Dr. Kevin Conners

It’s the art of music that you’re sharing.

Mike Tigchelaar

It is, exactly. When I was on the phone with the owner at the time, I said: Well, Lynn, how do I get new songs? How do I get new music or new programs from you? He says: Well, you buy another machine. I said: Lynn, I’m not going to spend $6,000 on another grand piano to get another version of chopsticks from you. See, that’s not my culture. And he says: Well, in used car sales, if you want new features, you have to buy another car. This was a clashing of different views on the matter. So I hung up the phone and at that point, decided I need to build my own instrument because I need something that’s not only programmable, but upgradeable. I don’t want to have to go out and buy something brand new every time for that kind of money just to get one or two programs. I found another company that actually sold a board – I still use that company – that actually had a computer on board. It was programmable, it was flexible, and it was upgradeable, and I began working with them.
I only ordered a machine with the intent that I was going to own my own. I had no intent that this would become a business or I would share this with anyone else. I finally got the thing working with the help of a relative who had more skills than I did at the time in electronics. I began running it. Another doctor friend who is a dentist then says to me: Hey, I’d like one of these. I said: Well, you can have mine and I’ll build myself another one. So he got the first one. He still has it, and I tried to get it back from him, but he won’t let me have it. He said: No, you’re not getting this one back – this is #1!  At that point, other people began calling, and I eventually went from owning my own, to over a few years when several hundred other people had my device.

Dr. Kevin Conners

What year was this?

Mike Tigchelaar

This all started in 2003, and I would say somewhere around 2006, 2007 or 2008. Somewhere, at least by 2006, there were quite a lot of devices out there. So I went back to the board maker and he began customizing my program to make it unique to us. I paid him to do that. The first thing we added was what’s called an Update Frequency button. This is what makes what we do so unique, because now you’re part of our culture. When you own our device, if you want new programs, you simply click Update Frequencies, and it downloads all the new things, all the new changes for free. You never pay for updates to your system.

Dr. Kevin Conners

Can I stop you there one second, Mike? Because I want to clarify this because this is really important to me and our patients. When I write a program for a patient, my programming doesn’t get changed when you update frequencies. But just in the last couple of years, we’re talking near the end of 2022 right now, with all this COVID stuff going on, you’ve had multiple COVID/coronavirus programs that with that frequency update, now people have that additional program to use during these crisis type situations. That was just such a huge blessing to people.

Mike Tigchelaar

Right. And we’re on our 13th edition. In fact, we just released the COVID variants. I think it’s called B4 – B5 program. That was actually donated by a spinoff company that only develops custom programs for our users. They donated it to us. But we have over 5,000 users, and many of those people will donate programs. Not all of them by any means. When we get something new and it’s tried and tested. For example, we had a doctor call. He’s a fairly new client of ours, and he discovered some research that went back 10 years. But this stuff, it has a way of disappearing, getting buried. There were four or five proven frequencies in this very long article and study that was done that indicated they had some positive impacts, for example, against cancer. When he first sent it over to me, and I’m a pretty busy guy, but I’m looking at all this stuff, and then he calls me, and he says: Hey, did you get that article? I said: Yeah, but I didn’t see anything in there I could use. He said: Well, yeah, there are four or five frequencies in there for cancer that were discovered. I said: Really? I started looking at it closer, and within an hour, those were added to our cancer sets for our general cancer programming. Then we released a critical update to all of our users to say we have a critical update, so update now, and we told them what the program was. It was updated, so they know what to look for. Some of those folks need it, some of them don’t need that program, but that’s how it works. Here again, people aren’t charged for this.

Dr. Kevin Conners

So they have the extra frequencies to use for their family if they need it. That is huge. I mean, it is like a community of people sharing and trying to help other people get better. That’s what life is supposed to be about, right?

Mike Tigchelaar

Exactly. See, once we start the culture, they’re getting things, they’re not paying for new music, as I call it. When they discover something, they give it back to us. Nobody’s asking to get paid. That’s the culture we created. I’m not a used car salesman. You don’t have to buy another car, another device or another instrument to learn another piece of music. We’re going to keep giving you new music, and as a result, the device that you purchased, say in 2013 or 2012, ten years later, is actually better. We at one point had 350 programs. There’s now over 2,400 and we keep finding new ones, or we’re adjusting the current ones. We’ve done some massive updates through the years as well to improve the functionality and the output of the device. Here again, this is phenomenal. For example, I own a Tesla. The car I bought in 2018 was better in 2022 because you get free updates that improve the functionality of the vehicle. That’s the culture over there as well. It’s very similar to what we’ve been doing for years, but it makes a huge difference.
We get feedback as well. We have a few really good people that are frequency sensitive. They’ll tell us what’s working for this month’s cold and flu, and generally speaking, if it’s non-COVID, it’s pretty good for about four to six weeks, whatever they find out. I think yesterday we released the 2006 fall program. It’s an old program that seems to be working, and a 2018 program. You just run them back to back. My son just called, for example, this morning at his job, some guy came in sick. It’s non-COVID and we got him started. We loaded up that program and virtually, we just stored it inside the machine, so he didn’t have to even plug in the computer. He flips the switch and it’ll run it for him.

Dr. Kevin Conners

It’ll auto run.

Mike Tigchelaar

Yeah, it’ll just auto run. It’s incredible. That’s another unique feature because what we’ve developed, even though you use your computer to send the information over there, our device is a lot like a printer. Once you click print, the computer is not doing anything anymore. It sent that information to the device. Instead of clicking print, you click Run on our device, and it prints that data into the frequency generator, which has a computer on board. Most of these generators that are sold don’t have a computer on board. There’s no computer chip. They’re relying on that device to continue, whether it be a handheld device or something else, to continue to feed that information in. They don’t run stand-alone. Virtually, you can put a program in – we do it for night-time sets. Maybe you’ve done this with some of your people. We have Amish people that don’t own computers, but they’re struggling with something. We’ll load the set in, ship the machine to them, have them flip the switch, and it’ll run for six or seven hours. We stack the programs they feel they would need.

Dr. Kevin Conners

Right. That’s actually how I run my cancer program, is on an auto run. I just put my frequencies in one program, stacked it, and then just put it on an auto run because I’m lazy.

Mike Tigchelaar

I do all mine that way. I actually run it off of a desktop computer, so I walk in the office and load it up. That’s how I do all my programming.

Dr. Kevin Conners

I want to talk about this…  right now, we’re using the F122, and we have a number of patients who have an F117. You had something before that, an F110?

Mike Tigchelaar

There was an F110, and if you really go back far, there was what was called a T150.

Dr. Kevin Conners

Okay. I’ve never seen either one of those. I started utilizing yours when you had the F117, either 2008-2009, somewhere around there. I actually have one of the first Rifes I bought from you and I still use it. We have two at home. I typically use the F122 that I got from you a couple of years ago when you first came out with those, and I still have one of those first F117s that we use at home on a Windows 7 computer. It works perfect! We’ve never had one issue with that machine in 13 years. My wife uses that all the time. They’re very hardy unless you’re dropping it or something. They’re electronic devices you have to be careful with, but we’ve never had an issue. We have traveled with those, too – carried it in a suitcase, wrapped in a towel or a sweatshirt. We’ve just never had a problem with it.

Mike Tigchelaar

Yeah. The thing about our device is I have dealt with engineers through the years, and I’m not an electrical engineer. I tell people that ask: What do you do for a living? I say: I’m a mad scientist. Engineers are not trained on high voltage, they’re trained on either — if they’re electronic engineers, they’re on low voltage, or if they’re electricians, it’s 122 40. An F122 runs at its peak, about 1800 volts and your old F117 runs 1200. So when I was developing this product, if I talked to an engineer, it was always: You can’t do that, you can’t do that. Because they’re looking at things from a much lower voltage, and they’re in a box, unfortunately. Most of them can’t think out of the box. Finally, I just had to get rid of these people and I just said I’m ordering these parts and we’re putting them in. Let’s just see what happens. Because there was no technical guidance they would give you other than: No, it will not work. In reality, things do work.
In one of the recent releases that came out about a year ago, and it’s something you don’t have to have, but some people want it – it’s called a Jackhammer. I came up with that idea three years ago because there are individuals who want more range, but can’t afford the higher output bulb. The idea was there, but I couldn’t develop it, I couldn’t figure out how to do it, but it always sat in the back of my head. Then about six to eight months ago, I finally figured out how I could do it. How do you increase the output of this bulb 256 times? How do you do that? If you talk to an engineer, they’re going to have some very expensive gadget, and they’ll spend months developing this thing with all kinds of schematics and prints. I grabbed a piece of plastic plastic and a piece of metal, a screw, an alligator clip and a wire. With the first test, I actually had jumped the output over 500 times, but the machine smoked in about 10 minutes, it was just way too much. I had smoke coming out of the hyperdrive, but I had it figured out! How do you figure this out with a piece of metal, plastic, an elevator clip and a wire?
If you saw inside the actual unit, you’d see a very simplistic way that I do things. This is the upside of not being an engineer because it’s like a paper clip. It’s so simple. An engineer who’s been trained can’t think of simplicity. It’s always this complexity to get something resolved, and they’re in that box. But it works. It works incredibly well. We had to test it for about two or three months to make sure we wouldn’t fry anything. Is it a necessary thing, people ask me. I say: Well, probably not. But there’s always people who aren’t happy with a Corvette – they want a Ferrari or they want a Maserati, they want all the speed they can get. So, we have devices here for that kind of culture who feel they need everything, the maximum, so we have those devices. But again, in the development, it doesn’t happen overnight. If you saw my product – if you took off the hood or you opened up a jackhammer, you’d say: Well, that’s simple. It is very simplistic, but nobody realizes the amount of months or years it took to figure it out, how to do it that simply.

Dr. Kevin Conners

Yeah, that’s one of the things I tell people that I love about you and your company, TrueRife, is that you’re constantly innovating and researching and developing with the idea of the outcome in mind of how we’re going to help more people. You try to keep your prices down all the time. You try to make this reasonable for people so they can have one in their home.
Tell us about your company itself. You just moved a couple of years ago to a different building?

Mike Tigchelaar

Time flies because I think it’s been at least eight years now. At one point, it was actually in the basement of my house, and now we occupy a building that’s about probably 4,000 or 5,000 square feet. We’ve got a big warehouse. You’ll see a picture of it on the About page on our website.
When COVID hit, we went wall to wall – it got scary. Fortunately, I was smart enough at the time that I had a lot of inventory, but within a matter of two weeks, they just about wiped us out, but we were still able to deliver. There have been, as you know, supply chain issues, but I have a huge investment in stock that I keep all the time because as you see, and you know and I know, we’re not selling shoes. We’re fighting for people’s lives. With a shoe sale, if you run out of the shoes you want, no big deal, but if I run out of a simple component and I can’t finalize the product, this is more than me not making the sale, this would result in the individuals who need this product, I feel, it would have an impact on their health, their life and their family’s lives as well. So I’ve lost a lot of sleep and I know you have, too. Anyone that’s in this situation will. I tell people there are two types of people in this world, and they’re both good people. You have the group that gets up every morning and they go to work, and that’s okay, they’re trying to provide for themselves or family. But then you have this other group, they get up and they go to war. Every day they get up, they’re going to war. If you watch a soldier in war, he’s not just fighting for his country. They may say that he’s fighting for everybody in the trenches with him, and he’s trying to save the lives of others, not just his own life. He’s willing to make that sacrifice, it’s just how we’re built. There are different people and to be in this type of business, you’ve got to be willing to make a sacrifice for others and keep your eye on the ball. This is about helping others, not just profits and sales, things like that.

Dr. Kevin Conners

Well, my staff fully knows that because they’re all in that boat with me, too. It’s like you just never turn off because it’s always a fight. The powers that be, the three-letter organizations out there are constantly trying to destroy us. It just is what it is. If you’re not willing to fight that fight, then…. I used to teach that to doctors. If you’re not willing to fight that kind of fight, then just don’t even think about trying to treat cancer patients, or try using a Rife, or try to help these really critically ill people, because it’s not the same as a regular practice. It’s just not.

Mike Tigchelaar

No, it’s totally different. Here again, it goes back to your culture, how you were raised and some of your genetics and where your head is at, and some of us are willing to take risk. If you’re going to be in this business, you’re at risk. But at the same time, can you sleep at night knowing that if you don’t take the risk, somebody could die? That’s something that some of us can’t get out of our heads.

Dr. Kevin Conners

You can sleep. I sleep very well at night because I just think of the patients that are still alive that were supposed to be dead months, years or decades ago that are so thankful that they found this type of therapy. I just want to thank you.
I want to have you back on our program. TrueRife out of Kalamazoo, Michigan. I’ve been to your TrueRife conferences and spoke at them many times. I don’t know if you’re planning to do any of those again, but you just get to the point of being overwhelmed with trying to keep up with production. We just try to keep people educated as much as possible. Thank you, Mike, I appreciate it. We’ll get an invite out to you to get back on, and we can get some of the technical stuff because I’m certainly not a physicist, and you develop these, so I’d like to get into the different scalar waves and the carrier waves and that fun stuff that people are interested in hearing about as well.

Mike Tigchelaar

All right. Thank you!
