Merger Proposal

It would seem this article has little purpose other than to support the claims of Royal Rife - the sources cited by the article are websites of Rife proponents. It would make sense to include a brief reference to Johnson on the Rife page, to which this article should redirect. LeContexte ( talk) 17:20, 14 December 2007 (UTC) reply

I disagree. Milbank Johnson was instrumental in the development of much of the Los Angeles social services and health and governmental process in the early 1900's. He was the first official Librarian for the University of Southern California Medical School (which he helped establish.) His connection to Royal Rife spanned a short 8 years at most, and while he considered the 1934 "Cancer Clinic" which he ran using the Rife Beam Ray device, as "not conclusive", he went on to run two more clinics in the Los Angeles area, and written reports from the third and last of those clinics were that the Beam Ray device was very successful in reducing or removing cataracts from the eyes of elderly patients. Otherwise, Dr. Milbank Johnson was a tireless crusader on the conservative front of both California and National taxation battles against the socializing forces which were building. Johnson was active in scholarship and social welfare organizations in the 1910 period. In 1926 he became the President of the SouthWest Museum in Los Angeles, and in the late 1939's to his death in 1944 he was instrumental in fighting increasing taxation all over the country.

Cool - could we rewrite the article, with the focus on the political/social aspects of his life rather than, as at present, the Rife stuff? Are there any non-Rife sources we can use? LeContexte ( talk) 14:30, 15 December 2007 (UTC) reply

Disagree also. Johnson was only one of many proponents of Rife. Mention of Johson in the Rife article is cut back from what it once was. 99.224.77.98 ( talk) 17:40, 27 December 2007 (UTC) reply

No Merge - they are both bio pages and if anything, need to be developed further. The merge suggestion could be seen as an attempt to push a pov -- ThujaSol ( talk) 19:20, 29 February 2008 (UTC) reply

Disagree with merge

Rife's "treatments" are still heavily promoted in some quarters as a preferred cancer "cure". People are likely to research the topic on Wikipedia. It deserves it own page on these grounds. I disagree with the merger suggestion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.213.33.57 ( talk) 01:33, 14 February 2008 (UTC) reply

Proposal to remove merge request

I am proposing that that we close the merge topic and spend the energy on cleaning up this bio article... -- ThujaSol ( talk) 20:45, 29 February 2008 (UTC) reply

I removed the merge, and placed {{limited}} instead. Tiggerjay ( talk) 23:48, 24 April 2008 (UTC) reply
