Georges Lakhovsky (Russian Cyrillic: Георгий Лаховский; September 17, 1869 - August 31, 1942) was a Russian-born engineer who developed various short-wave devices based on his theories of the living body as a radio-electrical transmitter/receiver, including the Multiple Wave Oscillator for the intended treatment of diseases, in particular cancer.

The time may come when man also will be a wireless receiver, tuned in to receive the tiny radio waves that are emitted by other bodies and to communicate with others by means of these waves! This is the prediction of Georges Lakhovsky, eminent Parisian scientist, who has solved some of the most delicate problems of radio. He has enunciated the theory that all living creatures emit tiny radio waves and that many already communicate with one another, or are attracted to others, by means of these emanations. 'Physiology teaches us that our sense of direction, of balance, of equilibrium is due to certain tiny canals in the ear,' says Lakhovsky. 'It suggests to me that these may play the part of wireless receivers. Many insects have antennae that are more than feelers. They are wireless receivers and senders in all probability.'"

The system, which is still in the experimental stage and has so far only been applied to plants, has been discovered by Georges Lakhovsky. The patient is placed in an oscillating current which has the effect of regulating the 'cosmic waves' around him, and encouraging cellular division without any fear of accident. The diseased cells are dissociated from the remainder without disturbing the general equilibrium of the organism under treatment. Photographs of 'cancerous plants' were shown which had been cured by the oscillatory current method."

His work covered a vast range of investigation — the meaning of life itself, the activity of germs and microbes, the causes of disease, the value of vaccines and medicines and notably the harmful and beneficent effect of certain electrical influences. In some recent sensational reports to the Academy of Sciences, confirmed by government agricultural schools, he reveals that he has been able to make many grains and vegetables, including wheat and potatoes, germinate more completely, grow more rapidly and develop to far larger size by electrical currents. He has forced a young geranium to a height of 6 feet by the same means, and it is extremely sturdy and luxuriant. These experiments were only incidental, however; his principal objective is to promote longevity."
