The Orgone Accumulator Handbook: Wilhelm Reich's Life-Energy Discoveries and Healing Tools for the 21st Century, with Construction Plans

by James DeMeo, Eva Reich (Foreword)

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. The FDA "investigation" lead to a court trial of much greater significance than the better-known "Scopes Monkey Trial". Ignoring Reich's evidence and declaring "the orgone energy does not exist", US Courts ordered all his books on the orgone subject to be burned, and banned from further circulation. Reich was also thrown into prison, where he died. His work was nearly forgotten except by a small group of supporters. In this Handbook, former university professor Dr. James DeMeo examines Reich's evidence and reports on his own observations and laboratory experiments, which have repeatedly confirmed the reality of the orgone phenomenon. DeMeo also surveys the observations and experiments of others, including controlled cancer mice experiments, double-blind university studies, and clinical reports from physicians working in private clinics where use of Reich's controversial orgone energy accumulator proceeds today. This Handbook also gives a warning about low-level atomic and electromagnetic radiations, as from nuclear power plants, power-line fields and cell-phones, along with advice on measurement and protection against such toxic energy. Also discussed is the subject of healing waters, or Living Waters from natural hot springs, a form of energy medicine which once was widely used in North America before the rise of the authoritarian MD-hospital system and the powerful federal bureaucracy of the FDA. Dr. DeMeo also gives 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 is the Third Revised and Expanded 2010 Edition of the Orgone Accumulator Handbook, nearly 100 pages larger than prior editions and carrying a Foreword by Dr. Eva Reich (the daughter of Dr. Wilhelm Reich), along with many photos, diagrams and charts. It is updated to address new issues about the best materials for orgone accumulator and blanket construction. An Appendix is also included, identifying the similarities of Reich's orgone energy to the cosmic ether and "dark matter" of modern physics. A section is also included providing New Evidence on the Persecution of Reich, along with an extended bibliography, index and many weblinks for added information. It has many new photos and materials extracted from Dr. DeMeo's publications verifying the reality of the orgone energy, and is a "must have" for all those interested in the issue of life-energy, subtle-energy or energy-medicine research. This is an excellent introduction to a major scientific discovery, organized for the educated layperson but with sufficient detail and citations to stimulate the curiosity of the open-minded physician and scientist.

Can't stop wondering about the world we are living in, full of hatred, greed and envy. Can't stop thinking about the number of possible ground breaking inventions which were hidden, banned or destroyed, just because it was uncomfortable for someone with the power of money.

I will start out by saying that Dr. DeMeo is a great writer; the prose was engaging and I never felt bored reading anything in this book. He has the ability to exude his enthusiasm for orgone, so I am forced to believe that he does genuinely believe in Orgone.

I walk away from this book still skeptical of orgones benefits and its existence in general. I feel that if accumulators do treat illnesses that it's more than likely a placebo effect. However, one must wonder why the placebo effect is never studied. It seems no one understands it at all. It's treated as a variable when testing medication that must be controlled for. The book is generous with its inclusion of experiments, orgone accumulator designs, and studies that one can read if they wish. I will definitely experiment with orgone. I am interested to test it, especially with charging seeds.

My only real message here is to not be afraid to experiment with things like this, especially if you can use non-animal subjects. You may be surprised in what you find if you simply experiment for yourself.

Since it was made illegal by the USA FDA in the 50's, after burning Reich's publications and research materials in a New York state incinerator, to even use the word orgone in publication let alone do research or use the equipment, this information was for most of my life very difficult to obtain.

So 4 stars for putting it in my hands in a clear, informative and straightforward manner.

However, not a 5 star book. I found the information disappointing for several reasons. One, it is in theory unwise to build an orgone accumulator anywhere near civilization or major electrical equipment. So pretty useless for most folks. Two, it's not so easy/cheap building one. Three, in all the decades since Reich's work, this manual shows absolutely no advances in theory, technique, understanding.

I suggest those who are interested in contemporary orgone experimentation to check out "orgonite" on the internet, for a more modern, accessible, and available technology that builds on Reich's work.

This book was an answer to my prayers when I was looking for practical use of the Wilhem Reich theories and experiments. It gives you step by step instructions on how to create and manufactured various types of orgone accumulators, a great practical hand on book.
Highly recommended

Ενδιαφέρον βιβλίο που ασχολείται με τις λεπτότερες ενέργειες στην ατμόσφαιρα -όπως και το κύριο θέμα του: η οργονοενέργεια- ασχολείται επίσης με το φαινόμενο ΌΡΑΝΟΥΡ (οργονοενέργεια υπερφορτισμένη από διαχεόμενη πυρηνική, ηλεκτρομαγνητική, ακτίνων Χ ακτινοβολία) και το φαινόμενο ΝΤΟΡ (η ακινητοποιημένη και νεκρωμένη Όρανουρ).

Η οργονοενέργεια είναι η ενέργεια της ζωής. Υπάρχει οπουδήποτε, διαπερνά τα υλικά σώματα, φορτίζει κάθε ζωντανή και μη ύλη και ακτινοβολείται από αυτές. Τη λαμβάνουμε στοματικώς μέσω της φυσικής διατροφής με φρέσκα φρούτα και λαχανικά. Όλα τα υλικά επηρεάζουν την οργονοενέργεια, ελκύοντας και απορροφώντας την ή απωθώντας και αντανακλώντας την. Έλκεται έντονα προς τα ζωντανά όντα, το νερό και τον εαυτό της.

Είναι συνεπώς μια φυσικά ζωτική ενέργεια, άκρως ωφέλιμη για τον οργανισμό όταν και ο περιβάλλον χώρος είναι καθαρός από οποιουδήποτε είδους μόλυνση.

I won the book.
And when it came I figured my mistake.
Can't finish it, I'm so not interested in the subject....
Maybe someone more expert can enjoy it but not me, sorry!

It was my first book on Reich and I like it even tho I prefer Don Croft's understanding now.

Orgone = Aether. The real physics.

[Chris Concannon · Rating 4 out of 5]

Can't wait to make my own accumulator. Great info here from DeMeo. Just think he could have been more open about other orgone devices like tower busters, chem busters, and earth pipes.

[Andreas Schmidt]

Non saprei cosa pensare, del resto ci sono affermazioni che non rimandano ad esperimenti reali.
