Ruth B. Drown, DC (d. 1965) controversial proponent of radionics, practiced in Los Angeles, CA. Inventing the Drown Radio-Vision Instrument in 1935, Drown extended Albert Abrams research in applying electronic therapies (“radionics”)
to subtle body phenomena underlying physical pathology using her instruments. Her esoteric teachings, experimental methods, and legendary devices were widely used by exploratory clinicians starting in the 1930s but dramatically suppressed by authorities. Wrote The Science and Philosophy
of the Drown Radio Therapy (1938) and The Theory and Technique of the Drown Radio Therapy and Radio Vision Instruments (1939). In 1963 she was arrested by the California State Bureau of Food and Drug Inspection and died awaiting trial for her medical practices; nevertheless, her work influenced later development of electronic analysis and therapeutic technologies.
