orgone therapy (medical orgone therapy, medical orgonomy, orgonomic medicine, orgonomic medicine therapy)

System developed by psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich (1897-1957), who coined the word "orgone" to refer to a hypothetical fundamental, omnipresent, life-sustaining, intelligent radiation. Orgone therapy encompasses the Reich Blood Test and Reichian Therapy. The professional activities of medical orgonomists include administering "orgone charged" water and applying peculiar devices: The orgone field meter and the vacor tube contribute to ostensible diagnosis. The meter allegedly shows the extent and strength of the patient's "orgone energy field." The vacor tube is an "orgone charged" glass vacuum tube that supposedly glows under the influence of the patient's "orgone energy field." The "medical dor-buster" purportedly siphons a toxic form of orgone--"dor" (an acronym for "deadly orgone")--from the patient's body.
