George Lakhovsky's Death
under mysterious circumstances“Using Lakhovsky’s apparatus, remarkable documented results were obtained . . . in a large New York City hospital, and also by a prominent Brooklyn urologist.”

The Obituary
What seemed like a promising development in the use of the MWO in America quickly faded after Lakhovsky unexpectedly died in New York in 1942 at the age of 73. A car struck and killed him in a most mysterious manner. His equipment was removed from the hospital and patients were told that the therapy was no longer available. Except for a brief trial in New York, Lakhovsky’s work remained completely unknown to the American public. Even the spectacular success of the New York cases were quickly forgotten; an unlikely lapse of memory in the natural scheme of things. It seems that hidden hands were at work when it came to obliterating the memory of Lakhovsky’s Multi-Wave Oscillator in America.
The Beck Rescue
Lakhovsky’s name and achievements probably would have continued to remain unknown in America had it not been for the efforts of Dr. Bob Beck, D. Sc.. In 1963, Bob found an original Lakhovsky MWO stored in the basement of a well known hospital in southern California. He managed to gain access to the machine and opened it up to see what was inside. He undoubtedly examined Lakhovsky’s US patent of the Multi-Wave Oscillator as well (US patent # 1,962,565). He then wrote a series of articles which were published in the Borderlands Journal that explained how the MWO worked. A number of people began building their own MWO’s based on Beck’s articles in Borderlands. Later, in 1986, Borderlands put together a big manual called The Lakhovsky Multiple Wave Oscillator Handbook which was updated and revised again in 1988, ’92, and ’94. The Handbook includes a compilation of informative articles by many authoritative researchers on the MWO, including translated articles by Lakhovsky himself. Fortunately, a small but growing cadre of experimenters, researchers and curious Americans are helping to revive this simple, honest device. Thousands of people have been helped quietly and without fanfare, due to the monopoly that doctors enjoy on being able to make medical claims. Several people now offer MWO’s built from hard work and research into Lakhovsky’s MWO and their own determination to see this life enhancing technology survive.
