The Orgone Accumulator Handbook: Wilhelm Reich's Life-Energy Discoveries and Healing Tools for the 21st Century, with Construction Plans [Paperback] [2010] 3rd Revised and Expanded Edition Ed. James DeMeo

In the 1940s, the physician and natural scientist Dr. Wilhelm Reich claimed discovery of a new form of energy which charged up living organisms and also existed in the open atmosphere and in high vacuum. Reich's laboratory and clinical findings indicated this new energy, which he called the orgone, could be photographed and measured, and had powerful life-positive biological effects. Reich trained other scientists and physicians in his findings, and together they set about applying the inexpensive orgone treatment methods - using a device called the orgone energy accumulator - against various illness, including cancer, with remarkably good results. His published findings shocked the scientific world of his day, however, ultimately leading to numerous smear articles in the popular press, and trumped-up charges by a power-drunk Food and Drug Administration, resulting in a US Court order to burn all his books on the orgone subject. Reich was thrown into prison, where he died. -- In this book, former university professor Dr. James DeMeo examines Reich's evidence and reports on many observations and laboratory experiments, including his own, which have repeatedly confirmed the reality of the orgone phenomenon. Dr. DeMeo also provides detailed construction plans for people to build their own orgone energy blankets and accumulators, which are inexpensive and simple to construct, though requiring specific direction as to their materials and environments. -- This 3rd Revised and Expanded 2010 Edition is nearly 100 pages larger than prior editions. It retains all the original construction plans, updated to address new issues about the best materials for orgone accumulators and blankets. It also includes a section providing New Evidence on the Persecution of Reich, along with a bibliography, index and many weblinks for added information.
