Method and how it worked
Technology: he built a giant apparatus using plasma tubes, high-voltage generators, and powerful electromagnets.
Mechanism: according to his theory, healthy and cancer cells have different electrical potentials. High-frequency radio waves and magnetic fields emitted by the apparatus restored the natural electrical charge of damaged cells.
Selectivity: the waves directly forced tumor tissue to break down or return to normal, while leaving healthy tissues and organs completely unharmed.
Evidence and recognition
Scientific experiments: in the 1960s and 1970s, leading professors at the University of Bordeaux (including Nobel laureate André Lwoff) conducted official experiments on laboratory rats.
Clinical results: reports from the French Academy of Sciences confirmed that after exposure to the apparatus, aggressive tumors (including sarcoma) in laboratory animals disappeared completely and the organism was fully freed from metastases.
State funding: with support from Bordeaux mayor (later French Prime Minister) Jacques Chaban-Delmas, the project received a state grant worth millions of francs to build a larger, industrial-scale apparatus.
Promise, persecution, and destruction
A blow to the industry: the electromagnetic apparatus completely eliminated the need for expensive drugs and chemotherapy, which directly threatened the pharmaceutical market.
Fear of monopoly: Priore refused to hand over the apparatus's precise engineering schematics to private corporations, fearing they would appropriate the technology and block it.
Funding cutoff: after he refused to transfer the patent, France's Ministry of Health and scientific foundations completely halted project funding, and the medical council restricted his practice.
Material liquidation: in 1983, after Priore's death, his unique apparatus was forcibly dismantled, and blueprints, records, and precise operating schematics disappeared.
