Orgone Accumulator
Exploring Dr. Wilhelm Reich’s Orgone Accumulator: Unraveling its Potential for Healing Chronic Diseases
Dr. Wilhelm Reich, an Austrian psychiatrist, and psychoanalyst, introduced the orgone energy concept and developed the orgone accumulator as a tool for harnessing and utilizing this energy. Reich believed that orgone energy was vital to overall health and well-being.
Understanding the Orgone Accumulator
The orgone accumulator is designed to harness and accumulate orgone energy, a theoretical life force energy described by Reich. The accumulator typically consists of alternating layers of organic and inorganic materials, such as layers of metal and non-metallic substances. According to Reich, the device accumulates and concentrates orgone energy within its enclosure, creating a beneficial energetic environment for the individual using it.
- Energetic Balance and Health
Dr. Wilhelm Reich theorized that orgone energy is integral to physical and emotional health. He believed imbalances or deficiencies in orgone energy could contribute to chronic diseases. The orgone accumulator aims to restore energetic balance within the body, supporting overall well-being and potentially aiding in the healing of chronic ailments.
- Potential Benefits for Chronic Diseases
Proponents of the orgone accumulator suggest a range of potential benefits for chronic diseases:
a. Enhanced Vitality: The orgone accumulator is believed to increase vitality and energy levels, supporting the body’s self-regulating processes and facilitating healing.
b. Strengthened Immune Function: Some proponents claim that the orgone accumulator can bolster immune system function, potentially aiding individuals with chronic immune-related conditions.
c. Pain Relief: It is suggested that the orgone accumulator may help alleviate pain associated with chronic diseases, such as arthritis or fibromyalgia, by promoting relaxation and reducing inflammation.
d. Improved Emotional Well-being: Reich proposed that orgone energy played a role in emotional balance. Some individuals using the orgone accumulator report improved mood, reduced anxiety, and a sense of emotional well-being.
Criticism and Lack of Scientific Evidence
It is essential to acknowledge that the orgone accumulator and Reich’s theories have faced skepticism and criticism within the scientific community. Critics argue that the concept of orgone energy lacks empirical evidence and that the perceived benefits of the orgone accumulator may be attributed to a placebo effect or other psychosomatic factors.
Despite a lack of rigorous scientific studies supporting the Orgone accumulator’s effectiveness in curing chronic diseases, some individuals report positive experiences and benefits from using the device. The subjective nature of these reports calls for further research and exploration to ascertain the potential mechanisms and efficacy.
In 1940, Wilhelm Reich constructed the first device to accumulate orgone energy: a six-sided box built of alternating layers of organic materials (to attract the energy) and metallic materials (to radiate the point toward the center of the box). Patients would sit inside the accumulator and absorb orgone energy through their skin and lungs. The accumulator had a healthy effect on blood and body tissue by improving life-energy flow and releasing energy blocks.
Reich found that organic materials attracted and held orgone energy and metal attracted and rapidly repelled it. He discovered that atmospheric orgone energy was accumulated and concentrated by designing an enclosure similar to the Faraday cage, lined with metal and alternating layers of organic and inorganic materials. He called this device an orgone energy accumulator. Within the box-like enclosure, the orgone energy from an inside metal wall is attracted to the opposite metal wall, which again repels it. This creates an oscillation of the orgone energy particles inside.
The layering of organic material with metal creates a higher concentration. He experimentally objectified this discovery by observing that the temperature inside an orgone accumulator was higher than inside a control device or outside air temperature. Also, an electroscope, a device that can be charged with “static” electricity, discharged more slowly inside an orgone accumulator than outside. These two experiments confirmed that there was “something different” about the atmosphere inside of an orgone accumulator that didn’t conform to standard physics. Through many years of careful, experimental research, Reich was able to define the basic properties of orgone energy:
- it fills all space and is everywhere
- it’s mass free and is the primordial cosmic energy
- it penetrates matter but at different speeds
- it pulsates and is observable and measurable
- it has a strong affinity and attraction to/by water
- it is accumulated naturally in the living organism by ingesting foods, breathing, and through the skin
- the mutual interest and excitation of separate orgonotic systems result in the merging, or superimposition, of the systems; and the emergence of a new system
- orgone energy is negatively entropic: highly charged orgone systems attract lesser charged, which Reich described as the orgonotic potential
- orgone energy is excited by secondary energies such as electromagnetism and nuclear energy
- when it is concentrated, orgone energy often has a blue-to-violet color.
The Function of the Orgone Accumulator
When a person uses an orgone accumulating device, the energy field of the user and the energy field of the device make contact, excite each other, and the two fields luminate, creating an even stronger charge. Since a human being has a higher energy charge, the user attracts and absorbs the energy from the accumulator into every part of their body. The increased absorption of the same bio-energy in the body helps the body expand, thereby reducing the contractive state and promoting natural pulsation.
The restoration of the parasympathetic response improves the flow of blood to tissues and organs, which allows them to function better, resist damage and recover easier from injury; it promotes cellular growth, eases tension and pain, assists digestion and peristalsis, improves appetite when this is impaired, increases core body temperature and can impart an emotional sense of well-being. The orgone accumulator helps the body to help itself by supplying concentrated orgone energy.
Reich (and other researchers since) found that the orgone accumulator had a remarkable effect on wounds and burns in studies using laboratory mice. In addition, because of the stimulation of the expansive parasympathetic response, the symptoms of “shock” could be affected.
Reich believed that the main contribution of his discovery of the orgone energy accumulator was preventing severe biopathic disturbances. The increased orgone energy recharges the red blood cells and tissues which may reverse the cellular degeneration from a T-bacilli reaction to a healthier bion reaction, thereby improving the entire body’s resistance. However, depending on the severity of the biopathy, this is not necessarily an easy thing to do. The liver and kidneys can have difficulty eliminating the products of degenerative tissues and cells. Detoxifying programs can be especially helpful in relieving this problem.
Today, we have many environmentally provoked cancers where the chronic damaging of tissues can create a localized T-bacilli reaction, eventually developing into a tumor. Even in these situations, Reich noted that the spreading of cancer was always preceded by the accelerated degeneration of tissue into bions, especially T-bacilli: cancer never spread into healthy tissue.
Who Can Use an Orgone Accumulator?
Almost everyone can use orgone energy accumulators. However, Reich noted that people with certain blocked, high-energy conditions should either be very cautious or not use an orgone accumulator. An initial increase in heartbeat rate often occurs when using an orgone accumulating device. Even though this increased rate usually subsides, often to a lower rate than before use, it can cause harmful stress to already damaged hearts. People with the following heart ailments should not use an orgone accumulator, or only under very close supervision: de-compensated heart disease, high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, or heavy obesity.
In addition, people with the following blocked, high-energy states should NOT use an orgone accumulator: brain tumors, glaucoma, epilepsy or people who suffer from apoplectic attacks.
Preliminary experience indicates that caution be used with people suffering from ALS or MS.
Skin inflammations, rashes, and conjunctivitis can worsen with orgone accumulator use.
Within the last twenty years, two double-blind experiments using orgone accumulators were performed at medical universities in Germany and Austria. The results confirmed some of Reich’s findings: the subjects using the orgone accumulator recorded both higher core body temperatures and also, initially, a faster heartbeat rate. In addition, most reported feeling a sense of well-being and various effects associated with stimulation of the parasympathetic system.
After using an orgone accumulator for some minutes, warmth, relaxation, and sometimes a prickliness may be felt. The skin may flush, and sweat develops. There is a feeling of a “soft glow” and of well-being. The session should end when these sensations are no longer felt or there is a sudden urge to do other things. Some people who have very low energy fields may take a month or more of use before they are recharged enough to feel these effects.
When using an orgone accumulator, a person wears as little clothing as is comfortable so that the energy can more easily penetrate the skin. However, being fully clothed is also fine as the energy will penetrate the clothing, too; it will take a little longer for the charge to build.
