Technology for The New Age
Wilhelm Reich's rise to fame, fortune and ignominious end was not the
classic Horatio Alger story; nor was it a case of following in the footsteps
of a rich, famous father. Young Wilhelm was just an Austrian farm boy
from a successful cattle ranching family. Despite his mother’s infidelities
and suicide, he knew nothing of the motives for the Serbian student,
Gavrilo Princip's assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand and his
wife Sophie. He was happily oblivious to the harbingers of war "the war
to end all wars," that pervaded all of Europe. A war that would bring his
world crashing down around him. When hostilities began, the farm he
grew up on was overrun by Russians; having nowhere to go, he joined the
Austrian Army.
During the next four years, Wilhelm fought on the Italian front in three
major battles. The sight of the wounded and the dying left a lasting
impression on this farmer's son. On November 11, 1918, he found himself
as a veteran in a defeated army in a war torn, defeated nation. Kaiser
Wilhelm had abdicated and fled to the Netherlands; Germany was in a
state of anarchy. Wilhelm was no longer a callow farm boy, he was
advanced beyond his years and had no desire to return to the farm. To
assist the nation's veterans, a Benefit Program was set up; and young
Reich enrolled in the University of Vienna under this program.
He could not have selected a better location. Post war Vienna was idyllic;
here you could forget the war, here was a location for a man to live life to
the fullest. The city, the Austrian capital, located at the center of
Europe, near the Danube River in the foothills of the Alps. Its
museums are second to none and boast some of the finest art collections
in the world. In the center of the Inner Stadt (inner city) stands the
Gothic styled St. Stephen's Cathedral or "Alter Steffel" ("Old Steve"); with
its 406 foot high Southern spire. The music of: Haydn, Mozart,
Beethoven, Shubert, Brahms, and Strauss still echo in the concert halls.
The Austrian National Library is housed there and contains nearly two
million printed books, the largest collection in Europe. The city abounds
with quaint shops, large stores, and fine restaurants.

The University of Vienna, one of Europe's most venerable institutions, is
world renown for its School of Medicine. There are also faculties of law,
political science, theology, natural science, and philosophy. The
University is famous as a center for scientific research. Here, Wilhelm
Reich found the spring board to fame and fortune. He studied law, but
soon switched to medicine. He found his talents more suited to the
research and exactness required of the medical profession. He found law
to be more knowing than doing. Reich wanted to be doing; he wanted
action.
Doctor Sigmund Freud
On the medical faculty was a man who would leave a profound impression
on Reich, the father of psychoanalysis, Doctor Sigmund Freud. Reich’s
interests were many and varied; he soon gravitated to the circle of
students gathered around Dr. Freud and this precious time planted the
seeds that would grow into Reich’s most famous discoveries. Dr. Reich
received his Medical Degree from the University of Vienna in 1922. He
was now a scientist by profession and training, and in the best of Western
tradition (Certainly not a "quack," by any stretch of the imagination). As
a student of Freud, Reich had ample opportunities to observe and work
with patients from all European walks of life and social classes. During
these studies with Freud, Dr Reich observed that a sexual dysfunction
was present in every case of mental aberration. Reich realized that the Id,
the Libido, the unconscious force that motivates our lives, was a potent
form of energy, a living energy that manifested as human sexuality!
The Discovery
Reich's first and main lifelong discovery is that a universally present and
mass free energy is of the specific nature as is the energy so eagerly
sought after by today’s “free energy” enthusiasts (Tom Bearden, John
Bedini, Joseph Newman, Dennis Lee, Eric Dollard and others). Reich
named his discovery "Orgone Energy," an acronym for Orgasm and
Organism. In Function of the Orgasm (1927), Reich published his
discovery that the sexual embrace, between male and female (but not
between homosexuals) is an involuntary convulsion that regulates the
living energy metabolism of the organism. The idea is that we humans
routinely produce more “Life Energy” than is required to live and
function. The Function of the Orgasm serves to discharge excess Life
Energy in sex. Since most of us are armored, this energy regulatory
function of the orgasm does not completely discharge the organism, thus
resulting in an impaired life energy metabolism. Further implications of
this discovery state that specific knowledge of the living energy, that is
our life, is of an emotional nature and not cognitive. The way people do
specifically relate ("know God"), is through the genital embrace, and the
creation of Life. Or more simply: it is through the heart and not the head;
it is felt rather than known...
4
Armoring
The energetic metabolism of people beats in four rhythms: tension,
charge, discharge and relaxation. Reich believed that nearly everyone has
had this freely pulsating rhythm replaced by a rigid conditioning he called
"armoring." This armoring starts within days of birth; beginning with
circumcision (a clue or hint in our Biblical Mythology on the origin of
Human Armoring), then compulsive toilet training, of learning shame for
our bodily functions. Childhood conditioning produces a stasis of
muscular tension that carries into adulthood. Armored people (nearly
everyone in the West) are incapable of deeper feelings; unable to deal
with subtle tingling sensations or nuances of pleasure…
5
While Reich’s therapy described in: Character Analysis (1933), was a
success, but hopelessly inefficient to have every member of society
undergo a lengthy and energetic therapy to restore, what should be, a
naturally present condition. The armoring process, once past puberty,
is difficult to reverse. Children, on the other hand, are born unarmored
and have a good chance of growing up as Nature intended; if they are
not traumatized or, worse yet, aborted first. (Abortion: the blood
sacrament of Feminism).
Reich realized that efforts to cure mankind of armoring would be futile;
only the affluent would have the time and where with all to benefit from
his therapy. Also, he was becoming bogged down with patients and was
neglecting his laboratory work. Dr. Reich retuned to his first love,
research. Reich’s celebrated contributions to the field of psychoanalysis
and its related sciences, can best be presented in three different periods of
endeavor: The first period was in Europe, where as a medical doctor
working with the new science of psychoanalysis led by Sigmund Freud, he
made his first important discovery; the Life Energy, which he called
"Orgone."
Scandinavian Period
The second period was Scandinavia where he selected the laboratories at
the University of Oslo for renewing his research. Here he was not so well
known and was likely to be left alone to work. Scandinavia also offered
clear, blue skies; this kind of atmosphere was abundantly charged with the
living energy he had discovered. He now sought out such locales at every
opportunity. The Norwegian capital was a commodious site; straddling the
Aker River at the head of the Oslo Fjord; surrounded by high pine
shrouded hills.
In these experiments, published as, The Bions (1936), he would take coal
dust, fine sand, or rust, heat it to incandescence, then place it into a
sterile nutritive solution. Reich also took other organic material such as
dry moss and grass and soaked it in water after sterilization. In both
experiments, the sterilized organic matter organized into vesicles then
into groups which surrounded themselves with membranes and began to
emulate protozoa. Dr. Reich named these laboratory born life forms,
"bions", from the Greek bios which means life, or mode of life.
6
The Bions
Shortly, after this discovery, came another far more important one; a
discovery made quite by accident. Reich casually laid a pair of rubber
gloves next to some test tubes containing sand bions. Moving the gloves
out of his way, he laid them on the stand of an electroscope whereupon
the leaves parted as if detecting a strong electrostatic charge. The rubber
gloves had been charged by the radiations emanating from the Sand
Packet Bions. Furthermore, these bions fogged photographic plates and
in large numbers they would produce a sun-tan effect on human skin!
Reich watched Hitler's rise to power with a faint heart; he could see the
hand writing on the wall and wanted no part of the killing and destruction.
His memory of senseless dying he observed during the Great War still
caused him pain. This time he was very aware of the harbingers of war
and sought a haven from its ravages.
American Period
Dr. Reich emigrated to the United States of America in 1939; just ahead
of the Nazi takeover of Europe. To finance himself he once again began
his Orgone Therapy. He led his patients through childhood traumas to
help them experience their present live more thoroughly. He helped
endless processions of middle aged neurotics get in touch with their inner
feelings in order to feel again pleasure, grief, sadness and joy. His clients
re-learned how to breath with a chest/belly rhythm that restored the
diaphragm to full function.
7
Medical Orgone Therapy
As his fame spread his fortune grew; but once more he was drawn to
research and experimentation. Reich had developed a workable
technique of restoring, on an individual basis, the free flow of Life
Energy within the organism. He realized that to achieve an armored free
society would take generations. Reich spells it out in his treatises " The
Biological Miscalculation in Human Struggle for Freedom," published in:
The International Journal, of Sex-Economy and Orgone Research,
Orgone Institute Press, NY., 1943. Simply stated: Once children are
brought up in the typical Judeo/Christian culture with emphasis on
original sin and the shamefulness of natural bodily functions, then
there is little chance of restoring that generation to a natural life positive
existence. An exhaustive individual therapy may loosen the bond of
armoring for those with financial means and the time to indulge in
such New Age pursuits. But for the majority, who must daily deal with the
real world, our lot seems to be to suffer the armoring, discovered by Dr.
Reich.
College of Ogonomy*
Having trained a competent staff of medical doctors, headed by Ellsworth
Baker MD., Reich abandoned his lucrative New York therapy practice. He
purchased a 320 acre farm near Rangeley, in Western Maine. Here he
equipped a modern laboratory and began his research.
In New York City, his College of Ogonomy had trained a large group of
young doctors who were spreading the fame of Reich's discoveries and
therapy far and wide. On the West Coast, in the state of California, a
group of "Neo-Reichian" therapeutic clinics sprouted up (Chuck Kelly’s
Radix, Alexander Lowen, Breath work, Bodywork, Anger Release
techniques). His notoriety had become nationwide in just a few short
years.

The Orgone Accumulator
Dr. Reich was well aware of the mounting problems for American
families, he had seen the same thing happen in Europe after the 1st World
War. From both theory and experience, Reich knew that a stable
conservative outlook was preferable to a premature and disastrous
attempt at radical change. The same agitation and malaise was beginning
now in post World War II America. Reich worked feverishly to find an
apparatus or system to help eliminate the armoring affecting society.
Toward this end Dr. Reich invented several of his most controversial
devices: The "Orgone Accumulator " and the "Orgone Accumulator
Blanket"; as well as the even more controversial “Cloudbuster”; and for
human use, the “DOR-Buster”.

PART TWO:
Technology for The New Age
(Reichian Therapy)
12
The DOR-Buster
Then the device is pointed at the subject to “withdraw” the bad energy
(DOR) from the body of the experimental subject and essentially, flush it
down the drain (energetically speaking)… Simple eh? (call for pricing)
Idea:
• Since we all are Armored:
• The Ocular Segment is most important.
• The Thoracic (Chest) and Diaphragm
are next most important (Controls
Breathing)
• Use DOR-Buster to loosen these areas,
before proceeding further...
13
THE CLOUDBUSTER!
The Cloudbuster: Rules of Engagement by Wilhelm Reich, M.D.
(1954)
• 1. Shed all ambition to impress anyone.
• 2. Never play around with rain making or cloudbusting. The OR envelope which you
tackle while "drawing" energy from the atmosphere is an energetic continuum of high
power. You may cause twisters. You may stir a forest fire into the wrong direction. You
may do other damage without intending to do so. Never do anything unless you must.
• 3. If experimenting: it is important to observe and know why you are doing what, that
you can achieve immediate results. Slowly growing comprehension will secure later
results safely.
• 4. In cloud engineering you do not " create rain," - you do not " destroy clouds," -
briefly, you are not playing God. What you do is solely helping nature on its natural
course.
• 5. Have your equipment, truck, etc. especially all metal parts well grounded into
water, preferably flowing water. Lack of grounding imperils your organism.
• 6. Do not let workers draw OR energy any longer if they become blue or purple in
their faces or feel dizzy. Exchange the workers; let them rest far enough way, and have
their faces and arms always wetted down with fresh water.
• 7. Do not hold on to pipes or other metal parts while you draw OR. Always use a
separate plastic or wooden handle to move equipment while drawing. Have your
hands always well insulated with rubber or heavy cotton gloves.
• 8. Have signs put up in such a manner that no one is hurt by OR charges. Do not let
people stand close by. Among them may be men or women who are ill and would run
some danger to their health.
• 9. Never " drill a hole " into the sky right above you unless you aim for a long drawn
rain.
• 10. When you feel a breeze or wind setting in due to your operation, stop drawing if
the wind direction becomes too strong or even if it acquire the appearance of a twister.
• 11. If you wish to remove DOR clouds, draw in direction of run of OR envelope.
• 12. If you wish to DESTROY clouds or to stop rain, aim at center of heaviest clouds.
• 13. If you wish to make clouds grow heavier, draw from the vicinity of the smaller
clouds, and have the large or heavy clouds undisturbed.
• 14. If there are no clouds in the sky and clouds should be created, disturb the stillness
or evenness of the OR envelope all around you by brief, sweeping draws and draw
mainly against the run of the OR envelope. To create clouds you must create differences
of OR energy potentials.
15
Two Experiments
There are two experiments that can give an objective measurement of the
Orgone Energy. The first is the temperature experiment, To - T. This
involves a one cubic foot Orgone Accumulator in the shape of a box. The
three layer accumulator is made from cellotex insulation board (organic
material) and galvanized sheet iron (metallic material). The control box is
similar to the Orgone box but the control has no metal layers. Placed in
the top of each encased space is a thermometer.
Static Electricity
The materials to make the Orgone Blanket are 100% wool and galvanized
steel screen. Wool has a high relative surface area and its position on the
food chain make It an excellent organic material. Only fur is better than
wool for making Orgone Accumulators (Hello PETA!).
The metallic material In the Orgone Blanket may be any form of Iron.
Galvanized steel screen is the material of choice, though steel wool will
work but steel wool tends to be lumpy and the fibers can work their way
through the organic layer and scratch the user. Steel wool is suitable if a
rigid box model of an Orgone Accumulator is to be made with cellotex
Insulation board as the organic material. Aluminum and copper are poor
materials for the metallic layers and should not be used because they
produce "DORish" effects. (More about DOR later).
18
How it works:
The Orgone Accumulator Blanket not only concentrates the living force
from the atmosphere upon the subject, It reflects back the living energy
radiated by the body (aura). Of the two energetic systems, the Orgone
Accumulator and the human organism, the human organism is the
stronger of the two. Life energy, like gravity, flows from the weaker to the
stronger source. The strong takes from the weak. Thus the energy flows
from the accumulator to the body of the subject. This orgonomic
potential is opposite from that of heat or mechanical energy, which
flows from the stronger to the weaker source.
19
Experimental Use
A clear fresh blue sunny day is ideal
weather to use the Orgone Energy
Blanket. Deep free breathing on a cold
mountain skinny dipping morning
invigorates the body and freshens the
spirit. Feeling the streamings and the
tingling of pleasure, warmth, relaxation,
reddening in the face, a tension of
building charge - these are some of the
subjective impressions that are felt; these
are the feelings (not thoughts !) that
users of the Orgone Blanket have
reported.
There is a similarity in feeling and effect
from the Orgone Blanket to a "Reichian"
Three layer Orgone breathing session: a tingling in the limbs,
Blanket wrapped around an a prickling sensation on the skin, an
athletic leg injury… increase in bodily temperature, a feeling
(Touch Football) of deep relaxation and a reddening of the
face. Length of time for an experimental
session varies from five to 30 minutes or
more daily - this means regular use.
How Long?
A feeling of lumination will be felt with continued use. Bioenergetically
stronger people need shorter exposure to the charging effect to feel the
"glowing" sensations. Organisms with a weaker charge or more tightly
armored will require a greater number of exposures to the irradiation of
this life energy charging device before the subjective sensations are felt.
Self Regulation
There is a self regulation factor as to the length of time of Orgone
irradiation. Symptoms of overcharge are: pressure in the head, feelings of
anxiety and irritability, slight nausea, dizziness. When the person has
reached the overcharge level from using the Orgone Blanket, there is a
tendency to kick the blanket away. It 1s better to have several shorter
experimental sessions with this powerful life energy charging device than
to use it for an hour or more. Sleeping under the Orgone Energy Blanket is
not recommended because overcharge is sure to result.
20
Oranur Experiment
There are conditions In our Industrialized environment that are not good
for using the Orgone Blanket. Reich discovered and outlined these
conditions In "The Oranur Experiment" (found in Selected Writings).
Basically with the advent of nuclear pollution of the Earth, the living
energy has suffered as well. The life energy charging devices, the Orgone
Blankets, concentrate the nuclear pollution right along with the
atmospheric energy. Reich called this radioactive dead life energy, "DOR",
meaning Deadly Orgone. DOR may be considered a waste product of the
reaction of Orgone Energy against nuclear energy - i.e. "Oranur". What
the Oranur Experiment showed was an antithetical relationship between
the living force of life and the destructive nuclear technology of death
given to us by Einstein, Oppenheimer, Sakharov , Teller and Sammy
Cohen, inventor of the Neutron Bomb. The Oranur experiment consisted
in placing a milligram of radium within a 20 layer Orgone Accumulator;
the catastrophic results illustrated an uncontrollable reaction of the
universally present energy against the nuclear Irritant. For simplification.
It may be said that the Life Energy is "allergic" to any form of nuclear
energy.
Use the Orgone Energy Blanket for periods averaging 20 minutes daily. Air
out the blanket by shaking it vigorously prior to each use. Lie beneath the
life energy charging device away from any televisions or fluorescent
lights. The metal side faces the body. Have good ventilation with an open
window or two; wear as little clothing as practical with perhaps a cotton
sheet between the metal and your body (not required); be sure to breath
freely while using this life energy charging device... It may be helpful to
keep a written record of the experimental sessions with this powerful life
energy invention. Notice the effects as they vary: with time of day, with
the weather, whether one person or two uses the device, with the phases
of the moon, with air quality levels.

COMPLAINT FOR INJUNCTION
Feb 10, 1954
(part 1)
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF MAINE
Plaintiff
Defendants .
The United States of America, plaintiff herein, by and through Peter Mills,
United States Attorney for the District of Maine, files this Complaint for Injunction
and respectfully represents unto this Honorable Court as follows:
1. This proceeding is brought under Section 302(a) of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act...
2. The defendant, The Wilhelm Reich Foundation, is a Maine corporation...
The defendant Wilhelm Reich is an individual who resides at Rangeley, Maine. The
said defendants manufacture and have been and now are introducing and causing
to be introduced, and delivering and causing to be delivered for the introduction
into interstate commerce in violation of 21 U.S.C. 331(a) orgone energy
accumulators, devices within the meaning of 21 U.S.C. 321(h), which are
adulterated within the meaning of 21 U.S.C. 351(c) and misbranded within the
meaning of 21 U.S.C. 352(a), and further, said defendants have been and now are
causing said devices to be adulterated and misbranded within the meaning of 21
U.S.C. 351(c) and 352(a) while held for sale after shipment in interstate commerce
in violation of 21 U.S.C. 331(k), all, as hereinafter appears...
26
3. The orgone energy accumulator device is available in several styles and models.
The box style orgone energy accumulators are designed to stand upright and are
large enough to permit an adult to sit inside. (See Exhibit A attached). The height,
width, and depth are several inches less than those of the ordinary telephone booth.
The top, bottom, sides, and door are similarly constructed. Each is made with
alternating layers of organic and metallic material. The outer layer may be of
celotex or plywood, then alternating layers of steel wool and rock or glass wool and
the inside layer is galvanized sheet metal. In recent years plastic wire mesh has
been used as a substitute for the sheet metal. A device with six layers is called a
three-fold orgone energy accumulator. One with two additional layers is called four
fold and progressively so as the layers increase. The door is hinged to one side, and
usually either has an open window or has portions cut out at the top and bot tom for
ventilation...
5. The blanket style orgone energy accumulator device is constructed of wire mesh
with several alternating layers of organic and metallic material covered on the
outside with plastic. It is made in three portions which may fold down flat. It is for
use in bed or local application. One section may be placed under the mattress and
the other two over the patient. Attached hereto and marked "Exhibit B" and
"Exhibit D", respectively, are pages 32 and 38 of the booklet described in Exhibit A,
which pages show how the said blanket style may be used in bed and for local
application.
7. The orgone energy accumulator device is not connected with or plugged into any
source of electrical or any other type of energy or power.
12. The defendant, Wilhelm Reich, in aforesaid written, printed, and graphic
matter claims to have discovered a form of energy which is present in the
atmosphere and for which he coined the term "orgone energy." He claims that this
alleged energy is life energy, has therapeutic value, and is beneficial in the cure,
mitigation, treatment, and prevention of disease.
13. The defendant Reich in said literature claims to have invented, in 1940, a device
which collects from the atmosphere this alleged energy and accumulates it in the
device, where it is usable for scientific, educational, and medical purposes.
Approximately 10 of these devices were made in New York State from 1940 to 1942;
from then until 1949 they were made by Herman Templeton, a Maine hunting and
fishing guide, and after his death were made by his daughter, at Oquossoc, near
Rangeley, Maine; for a short time thereafter they were made in New York again;
and since 1950 they have been made by S. A. Collins & Son at Rangeley, Maine.
14. The defendants claim in said literature that this alleged energy is
demonstrable, useful, and measurable. They attempt to prove the existence of such
energy and its presence in the device by employing well-known scientific
instruments and by resorting to the use of phenomena such as light, heat, radio-
active measurements, and electromagnetism.
15. The said defendants state in said literature that organic material, which should
constitute the outermost layer of the accumulator, attracts and absorbs the alleged
orgone energy, that the metallic, though it attracts said energy, quickly reflects it;
that by layering the accumulator as described in paragraph 3 hereof, always with
the organic matter on the outside, a direction is given to the said energy from the
outside to the inside, where the alleged energy is collected and concentrat ed.
27
16. The said defendants maintain that the medical use of their box style device is
accomplished by sitting in it. The manner of use of the other styles is shown in
Exhibits A through E attached hereto.
17. The defendants maintain, as stated in said literature, that the enclosure within
the device constitutes an alleged orgone energy field and the person in the
enclosure another such field; that the energy fields of the two systems make
contact; that both the person and the energy field of the accumulator begin to
"luminate"; they become excited and, making contact, drive each other to higher
levels of excitation. The defendants maintain that the user of the device becomes
aware of this alleged phenomenon through feelings of prickling, warmth,
relaxation, reddening of the face; further that body temperature increases from
one half to one and one half degrees, Fahrenheit.
18. The said defendants state in the literature that the box style device should fit
the size of the person who uses it; that the body surface should be no more than
about 2 to 4 inches away from the metal walls.
19. The said defendants state in the literature that the blanket style device may be
used by bedridden individuals in place of the regular box type device.
20. The said defendants state in the literature there is no mechanical rule as to the
length of time a person should sit in the accumulator. They suggest that on the
average a person requires from 5 to 30 minutes daily; that with regular use the
time may be shortened from 30 minute to 10 minute sessions; that the necessary
time for sittings will be decreased in accordance with the greater number of layers
the device has; that the patient may sit in the accumulator clothed or unclothed;
that woolen or too heavy clothing is not recommended as it is alleged that such
prevents quick contact and lumination; that it is better for a person to indulge in 2
or more short sittings than one protracted sitting as the latter could cause serious
damage...
21. The said defendants, despite disclaimer of cure from their device, resort to
detailed accounts of case histories in said literature describing "cure" alleged to
have been affected by the use of the device. Outstanding results are alleged to have
been accomplished in inordinately short periods of time. Some examples of such
claims are as follows:
29
24. The defendants have devised a jargon stemming from their coined word "orgone"
and utilize words having "orgone" as a base in the promotion of the pseudo science
which they call "orgonomy."
25. That said defendants have been and now are representing and suggesting in the
labeling of said devices... suggestions convey the impression and belief that the
alleged orgone energy is a powerful form of energy, particularly when in contact
with emanations from radio-active material and Roentgen rays, whereas, the
alleged orgone energy, as claimed to have been discovered and its
existence proved by the said defendant Reich as stated in the labeling for
said devices, is not a powerful form of energy, is non-existent, and is not
"dangerous to life". (Emphasis added)
26a. The aforesaid orgone energy accumulator devices have been and now are
further misbranded when introduced into, while in, and while held for sale after
shipment in interstate commerce... and the bulletin entitled "Internationale
Zeitschrift Fur Orgonomie April 1950", contains written, printed and graphic
matter, namely, a photograph with caption, which is false and misleading in that
such written, printed, and graphic matter conveys the impression that the
photograph is an actual photograph depicting the alleged orgone energy, whereas,
the alleged orgone energy is not thereby depicted.
26b. The aforesaid orgone energy accumulator devices have been and now are
further misbranded when introduced, while in, and while held for sale after
shipment in interstate commerce... entitled THE ORANUR EXPERIMENT, contains
written, printed, and graphic matter, namely, photos 1 and 3 captioned as showing
an excited orgone energy field between the palms of the hands and from an alcohol
flame, respectively, which is false and misleading in that such written, printed, and
graphic matter conveys the impression that the photos show excited orgone energy
fields, whereas, said photos do not show excited orgone energy fields.
27. The orgone energy accumulator, in all of its styles and models, is a device within
the meaning of 21 U.S.C. 352(h), and is and was further misbranded... the printed
matter mentioned in paragraph "23" hereof an the written, printed and graphic
matter hereinafter identified, accompanying said device, represents and suggests
that the device is an outstanding therapeutic agent, is a preventive of and
beneficial for use in all diseases and disease conditions, is effective in particular in
the cure, mitigation, treatment, and prevention of the diseases, conditions, and
symptoms hereinafter mentioned, which representations and suggestions are
false and misleading since the device is not an outstanding therapeutic
agent, is not a preventive of and beneficial for use in all diseases and
disease conditions, is not effective in the cure, mitigation, treatment, and
prevention of the diseases, conditions, and symptoms hereinafter
enumerated.
28. The orgone energy accumulator device, in all styles and models, is adulterated
with in the meaning of 21 U.S.C. 351(c) in that its strength differs from and its
qualit y falls below that which it purports and is represented to posses, since it is
not capable of collecting from the atmosphere and accumulating in said
device the alleged orgone energy as claimed to have been discovered and
its existence by the defendant Reich.
31
WHEREFORE PLAINTIFF PRAYS:
That the defendants, The Wilhelm Reich Foundation, a Maine corporation,
Wilhelm Reich and Illse Ollendorff, individuals, and each and all of their officers,
agents, servants, employees, attorneys, all corporations, associations, and
organizations, and all persons in active concert or participation with any of them,

for Struggle". Take action now! Make yourself an Orgone Energy Blanket
and "Take Back your Power" .
