Ruth B. Drown and the Drown Radio-Therapy

Dr. Ruth B. Drown was a pioneering American naturopath and inventor who made significant contributions to the field of electrotherapy in the early 20th century. She was born in 1891 in Alma, Michigan, and spent much of her early life in poverty. However, her passion for natural healing led her to become a successful practitioner and inventor.
After completing her education, Drown began practicing naturopathy in Los Angeles, California. She became interested in the use of electricity as a healing modality and began developing her own devices for electrotherapy. In the 1920s, she patented a device known as the Drown Radio-Vision, which was designed to diagnose and treat disease using radio waves and the patient's own frequency patterns.
The Drown Radio-Vision was a controversial device, and Drown faced opposition from the medical establishment, which saw her work as quackery. However, she persisted in her research and continued to refine her devices. In the 1930s, she developed a new device called the Drown-Bailey Resonator, which was used to diagnose and treat a range of ailments, including cancer.
Despite facing criticism and skepticism from many in the medical community, Drown's work gained a following among patients who saw her devices as effective alternatives to conventional medical treatments. She went on to establish the American Association of Electronic Medicine in the 1940s and continued to promote her ideas about electrotherapy until her death in 1965.
While Drown's ideas about electrotherapy are still controversial, her work helped to pave the way for the development of modern electronic medical devices. Her contributions to the field of electrotherapy have been recognized by some as pioneering, and she is remembered as a groundbreaking figure in the history of natural medicine.
