Patents
There is a specific MWO patent trail.
The core U.S. document is US1962565A, filed in 1931 and patented in 1934. A later tube design appears in US2351055A.
Primary-source archive
The Lakhovsky coil is not a proven medical treatment.
US1962565A describes concentric open radiating rings. Lakhovsky and contemporary newspapers claimed medical effects, including cancer treatment. Those remain historical claims. Open The Coil File to inspect each device claim against its source.
Signature file
The Coil File
A docket of historical device claims. Open a patent, a 1925 Radio News article, a 1942 obituary, or a later suppression story, and read what that document can prove. Nothing here is a construction recipe or a treatment protocol.

What the archive can prove
Publications
Lakhovsky published a broad wave-and-life theory.
Library records and scans preserve titles such as La sante par les ondes, plus English and French bibliographic records.
Press
Newspapers amplified the medical claims.
LOC and Trove pages show how 1920s-1940s newspapers reported Lakhovsky's ideas, often with claims that remain unverified outside press accounts.
Why this site exists
A better answer than a sales page
Search results for Lakhovsky often mix copied patent text, modern device marketing, and unsupported therapeutic stories. A useful public resource should make the primary evidence easy to inspect, then say plainly where the record is thin.
