Orgone Accumulator Therapy of Severely Diseased PeopleA Personal Report of Experiences by Heiko Lassek, M.D.Part 2cntd. from first page Republished by Healing Cancer Naturally with special permission of the author and original publisher, © May 2009 Changes in Blood DiagnosisThe microscopical analysis of the disintegration of the erythrocytes, in sharp contrast to the changes felt by the patients during the first three weeks of treatment, scarcely showed any difference; only the aggregation, the tendency of red blood cell clumping, showed a clear decrease. Despite the still devastating cytolytic pictures, this could be interpreted as a reference to the fundamental change of the electrostatic fields of the human blood.4 During the second month of treatment, the blood picture began to improve constantly: The membrane cohesion, the internal pressure of the cell membrane and thus the resistance against the process of disintegration into bions and tbacilli, drastically increased. Whereas at the beginning of the orgone accumulator therapy, only about 10% of the erythrocytes had their original shape immediately after withdrawal, now it was more than 50%. The way and speed of disintegration also changed towards an increased power of resistance. In Reich’s terminology, an increase of the bioenergetic total condition of the organism.5 In several cases, to include the two patients A and B described above, central necroses with a decrease in tumor density were observed, even though metastases remained at constant size; in three cases, a shrinking of tumors was radiologically diagnosed. As described in Reich’s work The Cancer Biopathy, edemas were formed around the tumors; Reich had explained this as inflammatory transformation of the tumorous tissue. He had confirmed this hypothesis by numerous experiments with laboratory animals, the metastases of which were bioptically examined. However, with patient A above, who had cerebral metastases at the right and left paries, the process of the formation of edemas with central necroses around the secondary metastases caused a recurrence of just the paralysis that at first disappeared after only one week of orgone accumulator therapy! The patient, at this time apparently physically vital (instead of painfully dying in December), went, from February to May, on business trips to the USA and South Africa equipped with only an orgone energy blanket (contrary to my advice, since the efficiency of orgone blankets compared to the larger accumulator is diminutively small). After May, he came back to me with completely different problems. In spite of all his business activities, and without taking any further medication, all pulmonary metastases, which had been rapidly growing before the start of orgone therapy, instead remained constant in size. The left cerebral metastasis had shrunk by 2 cm., and the right one had remained constant, with a central necrosis but only insignificant edemas in the surrounding area. At first presentation, the pressure exerted by the tumor caused a paralysis on the left half of his body. The recurrence of paralysis after his business trips most probably had been produced by the orgone therapy, given the increased formation of edemas. On the other hand, in view of the cancer process, the orgone therapy could not be interrupted. So we decided together to venture an attempt to locally withdraw energy from the affected cerebral area. As on our first meeting, he had to be brought to the clinic by two helpers. Based upon the Reich experiments with the medical DOR-buster, we aimed a water-grounded hollow metal draw pipe 2 cm. above the area where the deep metastasis causing the paralysis was located. Before setting the DORbuster into operation, I placed the electrode of the Orgonometer by Marah SA in the patient’s paralyzed left hand, and asked him to cover and press on his left hand with his right hand during the entire procedure. The Orgonometer showed an initial value of +114; immediately after putting the DOR-buster into operation, the value fell and oscillated between +65 and +72. The patient at that moment reported strong sensations of rotary vertigo, a phenomenon that is reported by most of the patients during use of the medical DOR-buster on the head region. During the following forty minutes, the drawing process continued at a minimum level, and the Orgonometer values rose to +190, with oscillations of +/- 10. After one hour of this mild treatment, a reading of +210 was achieved, and I asked the patient to move his left hand. With an expression of unbelieving astonishment, which I will never forget, he raised his entire left arm, and all by himself, he sat up from the treatment table. For the second time, by means of orgone therapy it had been possible to effect a regression of the paralysis of the entire left half of his body. Like the first time more than four months previous, his very personal test was to try to use the remote control of my microscope video monitor by well-coordinated movements of his fingers, and he managed to do this easily as well. He had come to the treatment being carried rather than being supported by two persons, and now he insisted on climbing the curved staircase leading up to the laboratory all by himself. The influence of the medical DOR-buster only lasted for eleven hours, and we had to repeat the treatment for four times altogether, until his condition stabilized without paralysis. Further DevelopmentsIn the following months, the subjective freedom from pain and symptoms went along with dramatically changed pictures in the native blood diagnosis. The change was especially notable among those who at first had terrible pain despite the strongest medication, and had been prognosticated to have survival times of only 4 to 8 weeks. Contrary to Reich’s publications, with two persons the blood picture even approached that of a completely healthy person. With regard to the human encounter, this was the most difficult time for the patients, for their family members, and also for me. They had all come to me without any hope for a reversibility or even control of their disease, and now they were feeling as vital as if a mortal cancer process had never developed. Some of them had taken up sports again, went for long walks and on short trips, and I had to assume the role of making them aware of the finality of the process of metastatic spread which was somatically too far advanced. With some of them, for the first time in the whole period of our cooperation, I noticed tendencies of evading the knowledge that their cancer long before the beginning of the orgone accumulator therapy had already been too far advanced as to be reversed or to be stopped for a long time. At such times, I was tormented by questions and doubts, which, being settled in the role of a whitecoated doctor in a hospital, I would not have felt with such intensity: Was it right that despite the dramatic improvement of their condition concerning subjective as well as objective diagnostic criteria I constantly had to point out that some time they were going to die from their disease? The question was asked again and again “Don’t you think that with the state I’m in now, a healing after all would at least be possible?” I had to deny again and again. Most of my doubts were concerned with a question that seemed insoluble: What was to happen with the tumor masses that could possibly disintegrate, i.e. how could the tumors and their toxic disintegrating break-down products be removed from the body? In the 1940s and 1950s, when Reich was investigating the possibility of influencing cancer in laboratory mice by orgone radiation, almost all laboratory animals experienced an inflammatory softening of tumors, followed by death from blockage of the renal transport system. It was the immense mass of cells of the disintegrating tumors and not the spreading of the disease process that had caused death by renal insufficiency. Later, some of Reich’s most successful therapies on people also failed because of this problem. This possibility, that might put an end to the positive developments of the orgone treatment, I also discussed in full detail with the patients. The Final Phase of the TherapyAfter more than six months of experiencing physical well-being and freedom from pain, in all but 2 of the 17 patients, the following process began to appear. First, the picture of the native blood diagnosis began to deteriorate impressively within a few days. Apart from the erythrocytes showing well-shaped membrane coats and a normal disintegration process, single erythrocytes recurred which completely disintegrated into the corpuscles that Reich called t-bacilli within 20 minutes. The absolute number of these erythrocytes was small, about 15%. However, the correlated findings were alarming. Immediately after the withdrawal of blood, and the beginning of the observation period, among the erythrocytes and leukocytes, more and more irregular cell fragments were to be seen, which most probably were to be ascribed to disintegration processes around the tumors and metastases. As I had feared, with the process of disintegration also developed an autointoxication of the body by tumor tissue. I called several internists in order to discuss the possibility of an extracorporeal dialysis, to filter the blood plasma of this debris. After numerous discussions and demonstrations of videotapes on the constitution of the cell fragments, this possibility was excluded, because the fragments having a size of 1-12 micrometers were equally distributed. Even persons who claimed to have already treated cancer patients with orgone energy could not give any solution; I was especially struck by the fact that those people who did not even know the problem often reacted in an annoyed manner to my inquiry for help on the matter. After the living blood picture had begun to deteriorate, the patients were still feeling subjectively very well, and the subjective condition and the objective findings were constantly diverging. The second alarming symptom was that at the same time, some of the patients’ family members reported that each time after the patient had been in the orgone accumulator, the facial region of the patient turned grey, which sharply contrasted with their usually vital impression after use of the accumulator. This discoloration lasted for varying lengths of times, but disappeared in the course of the day. It was also observed by the patients themselves, but was not accompanied by any somatic symptoms such as circulatory distress or feelings of weakness. My advice to most of the patients was then to reduce their stay in the accumulator to only one 1-hour session per day, since the disintegration of the tumors continued and the blood pictures became more and more alarming. Based on the patients' blood pictures, and because of their acquired ability to assess for themselves the microscopical blood pictures on the video monitors, the patients completely understood the meaning of what was happening. None displayed desperation or emotional rebellion against the approaching end of their lives, but some of their family members did. I was deeply impressed by the thankfulness they showed with regard to the quality of the last period of their lives some of them still set themselves small goals: to paint the room in the basement, or to finish a certain business or personal goal which was of special importance to them. Neither did I observe any deep resignation in them, with perhaps two exceptions about which I am not sure if I observed, instead, something I call “gliding”. Two of my patients died of cardiac insufficiency during their holiday, suddenly and without pain, as reported by their wives. One patient still went on a business trip to Saudi Arabia where he carried out transactions, and after his return on the way from the airport he collapsed and also died without pain, of cardiac and circulatory failure in the hospital. During the last days he still managed his business from his bedside; we said goodbye to each other a few hours before his death. Only two of my patients reverted back to use of morphine sulfate and Temgesic, and they died a few days afterward in the hospital. Others, after open discussion with their previous consulting physician, were given the opportunity to choose to take strong drugs which would, in the case of an overdose, bring about a painless death. This was extremely important to some of the patients who anticipated a return of the terrible cancer pains. Four of the patients made use of this possibility, after the time when even morphine sulfate would not relieve their pains. All other patients eventually died at home, having either no or only slight pain. With one exception, they all kept in contact with me until a few days before their death. In summary, all 17 of these severely ill patients lived more than 5 months, with 50% living for more than one year, a significant positive extension of lifespan from the original "terminal" prognosis of only 1-3 months survival time. Regarding the two specific case histories given above, who had a very poor prognosis at the start of orgone treatment, patient A survived 7 months, while patient B survived 6 months. From these and other experiences with both conventional and non-conventional methods of cancer treatment, the benefits of orgone accumulator therapy to severely ill patients, including so-called "terminal" cancer patients, are significant. On the Problem of Auto-Intoxication (Self-Poisoning)Months after the last so-called “terminal” patient had died, I was visited by Ms. Ursula Phillips, a former co-worker of Professor V. Brehmer (former head of the Berliner Biologische Reichsbundesanstalt, who fled Germany during the Third Reich) and close associate with the famous internist and cancer researcher Dr. Joseph Issels. From her former collaborations, Ms. Phillips was very knowledgeable about living blood pictures, including the essential features of the Reich Blood Test. When speaking with her about the possibilities and limits of the accumulator therapy on such seriously diseased people, she noted parallels to her experiences in the Ringberg Clinic of Dr. Issels: Each time when patients came to Issels for the vital radiation therapy, she found cytolytic products similar to those I had described in their living blood pictures. These were observed in connection with patients' subjective complaints about radiation hangover, and also a grayish coloration of the skin. Issels noted that radiation hangover often limited the course of the X-ray therapy he employed, which he interpreted as an expression of the autointoxication of the body by decomposition products of tumor cells. Based upon this working hypothesis, he instructed his medical and scientific associates as follows: From each patient who was given a course of X-ray therapy, living blood pictures were examined several times per day. If many cell fragments were found in the blood of the patient, the radiation was immediately reduced. If the number of irregular decomposition products in the native blood preparation decreased, the radiation therapy was continued. According to reports by Dr. Issels’ associates, this was one of the keys to the success of his form of radiological therapy, which in some cases healed very seriously diseased people. According to Ms. Phillips, to whom I owe a great debt of gratitude, after this method of blood analysis was introduced, there was not a single case of radiation hangover. If we could ever develop a clinic with some stationary beds for the medical care of most seriously diseased people, and if we had experts for the permanent observation and analysis of the cancer patients’ blood picture at our disposal, a constantly controlled large dosage of the orgone accumulator therapy could mean a great step beyond the limitations discussed above. Here, I want to point out again that all changes in the prolonged life span of these most seriously diseased people were achieved only by the technical use of the orgone energy accumulator. A report on the positive experience available up to now in the field of vegetotherapy in combination with the use of the orgone energy accumulator will be published shortly. Epilogue, and a Note of CautionThe results documented in the prior article were gained by working with people belonging to an age group of 51 to 78. I place special emphasis on this fact because I know of several case histories where with young people different kinds of cancer showed only a short subjective improvement after use of the orgone accumulator, and the process of the disease was not affected at all. With several young patients (under 35 years) having acute myeloid leukemia with rapidly metastasizing processes partly combined with an unknown localization of the primary tumor I cannot close my mind to the terrible impression that the rate of spreading of the cancer was increased by the accumulator treatment. Without exception, after diagnosis these patients had for personal reasons renounced all conventional medical treatments and based all their hope on alternative methods of treatment without prior consultation of any doctor experienced in the orgone accumulator therapy. Today, I am seeing 14 cases where people called me up on the telephone after, without any prior consultation, they had bought or built an orgone accumulator on their own, in order to “cure” their cancer disease. These cases reveal a complete misunderstanding of the facts revealed by Reich. In most of the talks, they describe a temporary remarkable improvement of the subjective condition after they had begun to expose themselves to the orgone accumulator radiation. Animated by optimism resulting from this, they decided to have radiological and laboratory tests made which often showed a dramatic deterioration of the objective findings; and this was the reason why they got in touch with me. For many of these people, at this time, it was already too late as to achieve a far-reaching or even a complete remission of their disease, which might otherwise have been likely at the time of the diagnosis because of the kind of the tumor and the localization and manner of spreading. For this reason, here I wish to urgently warn not to employ orgone energy accumulator treatment for lymphatic or myeloid leukemia, or severely undifferentiated cancer in younger patients. I wish to stress particularly that I have treated cancer patients not mentioned in this article, with a strong recommendation, often against the patients expressed opposition, to have the primary tumor surgically removed, or recommended treatment with radiation therapy or chemotherapy, in combination with daily large-dose orgone accumulator therapy. In such cases, there was not a single case where cancer symptoms recurred in an observation period of 3-1/2 years, nor was deterioration of laboratory values to be found. In these latter cases, the orgone accumulator therapy was started immediately after their operation. In cases of chemotherapy many straining side effects such as sickness, lack of drive and depressive mood can be remarkably mitigated by vegetotherapy and orgone accumulator therapy. On the other hand, the use of the orgone accumulator is strictly inadvisable during any cycles of radiation treatment, but can begin three days after the last exposure. Unfortunately, in recent years I have seen dozens of young and older people dying, after having completely refused, for ideological reasons, the temporary use of traditional modes of treatment, which are mostly very straining for the organism. They had called my position “not being in the sense of Reich” since I had urgently recommended them to a course of chemotherapy. For this reason, I recommend the following steps to every person suffering from cancer:† 1) Don’t let yourself be deprived of hope if the diagnosis is “cancer”, but do try everything diagnostically possible to get a complete record of your disease (localization, spread, histology). 2) Find a doctor who responsibly can give you information on the chances of a conventional treatment for your disease, or ask your treating doctor to get in contact with one of the main cancer therapy centers in order to be informed on the last state of the mode of treatment and the therapeutic results achieved by it. 3) According to the above information you receive, contact the nearest center for consultation on holistic or alternative cancer therapy and make an appointment for consultation. Give the information you consider necessary in this context to your treating doctor, and discuss with him the decision you have made to possibly have another form of therapy. Contrary to the widespread opinion, many doctors are open to some, though certainly not all, unconventional methods of treatment; if your treating doctor is not open or sympathetic to your concerns, ask your friends and associates to recommend another doctor. 4) Don’t combine several natural or alternative methods of treatment with each other, but decide for at most two methods that do not interfere with each other but have a common starting point, such as the support of immunological defensive systems. Ask for detailed information on how these methods of treatment are meant to influence biological processes in the organism. 5) Be cautious about interpreting initial improvements in your subjective condition, which can occur with many alternative methods. If after two months at the latest your condition does not improve objectively, change those aspects of the treatment which you feel are least helpful. 6) There are many possibilities of animating and supporting the immunological resistance which I only do not quote here because I have no practical experience with them. Based upon my personal experience I can recommend a pre- and post-operative orgone accumulator therapy when there is no contraindication; the combination of the use of the accumulator and large-dose intravenous mistletoe therapy has proved to be very efficient; however, I do not practice any additional naturopathic methods of treatment. At the beginning and during the first months of treatment, repeated personal consultations on the processes occurring in the organism, caused by the therapy, should be discussed with a doctor who is familiar with the orgone accumulator therapy. Later, this can be done by telephone. A constant native blood diagnosis, with observations of the living blood picture, is indispensable in the case of multiple metastatic spread for reasons explained in the article. In all other cases medical observation and regular follow-up control by X-ray examination and laboratory diagnosis is sufficient. If the reader decides upon the possibility of employing an orgone energy accumulator, they can find information on the construction and use of the apparatus in one of several books which are now available on the subject, and also may contact myself at the Wilhelm Reich Institute in Berlin, Germany. Dr. Wilhelm Reich ran the Orgone Institute in the United States as a nonprofit organization. For more than four decades, he never aimed at making financial profit from his investigations. The Wilhelm Reich Institute, directed by myself and authorized by Reich’s daughter and associate, Dr. Eva Reich, and the Wilhelm Reich Society, both in West Berlin, are working in this same tradition. The awareness of the possibilities and the limits of influencing the organism with the help of the discoveries of Dr. Reich must not be suppressed any longer, but must be further investigated and made freely accessible to every interested person.

Medical Alternatives in the USA Editor’s Note [written by James DeMeo, PhD, in 1991]: Given the current war against unconventional, alternative health approaches by conventional allopathic medical practitioners and organizations, the likelihood of an open or public use of the orgone accumulator by trained medical doctors in the USA, as a therapy or adjunct for cancer treatment is, at present, very unlikely. Furthermore, epidemiological evidence demonstrates a generalized failure of conventional treatments (surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy), as practised in the USA, to significantly increase the survival times for most cancers. In fact, very few truly controlled studies exist to contrast outcomes of either conventional or unconventional treatments of cancer, and cancer incidence is today higher than ever before, with little or no progress having been made since the 1950s in the survival times of patients. It is even arguable that the retreat of the average individual from conventional treatments is the result of a quite valid and accurate perception that, as generally applied in the USA, conventional treatments for cancer do not help to bring the patient any closer to health than either no treatment, or unorthodox treatments alone. The recommendations given by Dr. Lassek must therefore be viewed in the context of the very different German health care system, which (unlike the USA) is rich with various non-conventional, holistic practitioners and health clinics, allows the experimental use of unconventional methods by health professionals, and does not use policemen, prosecutors and jails to harass and suppress health care practitioners who try unconventional approaches. In the USA, most health practitioners who have quietly experimented with accumulator treatment of degenerative disease have found that therapeutic regimes which stress immune system enhancement and detoxification or cleansing of the colon and blood are excellent adjuncts to orgone accumulator therapy. The detoxification therapy developed by Dr. Max Gerson and offered by the Gerson Clinic is one such example.

The following quote from The Cancer Chronicles (Autumn 1990, p.1-2, 161 W. 61st St., New York, NY 10023) gives an idea of the continuing trend towards prosecution and jailing of biomedical pioneers, and erosion of Constitutional rights. "California Victory -- For Now. Fast action in August blocked a California bill which would have allowed the state to seize the property of practitioners of alternative medicine. 'SB 2872' was proposed by Sen. Marian Bergeson of Newport Beach. Beefing up the Sherman Act, which already provides penalties of up to three years in jail for alleged health fraud, the new bill would have created a 'forfeiture scheme' to seize the property of anyone convicted under this law. It would have provided prosecutors with a financial motive for cracking down, since their offices could recover the victim's property. According to the authors of the bill, 'this legislation is necessary so that California consumers can be protected from illness, injury and death resulting from reliance on the products of health fraud promoters and so that violators pay for the costs of the Department of Health Services and prosecuting agencies'. In other words, a witch hunt, in which the witch has to pay for the fuel. Who would be subject to the bill? People who prescribe or knowingly administer an experimental drug; who sell, deliver, or even give away any new drug not fully approved by the FDA; who advertise any substance represented to have an effect on AIDS, ARC or cancer; who use new or untested drugs, compounds, or devices invented by persons against whom injunctions or cease and desist orders have been issued. And so on. Flying in the face of the 14th amendment to the Constitution, the bill specifically calls for 'seizure without [due] process'. According to 'SB 2872', seizure can occur if it is incident to an arrest due to a search warrant, if there is probable cause to believe that the property is directly or even indirectly dangerous to the public health or safety, or was used or intended to be used in violation of the law..." Under the above law, a search warrant from a judge will allow policemen to force their way into a clinic or lab engaged in holistic medical approaches, or even the home of a holistic health practitioner or advocate, and seize almost any kind of property which they interpret as being "dangerous to public health" as defined by medical bureaucrats, including lab equipment, records, bank accounts, and personal effects. There would be no warning of such "midnight raids", as court action
prior to seizure would become unnecessary, the burden of "proof of innocence" falling entirely upon the accused. More by Dr. Heiko Lassek: Orgone therapy (vegetotherapy):
