Wilhelm Reich(1897-1957)
- Writer
Famous and controversial scientist/psychotherapist who founded the
science of orgonomy, the study of life essence. This school of study
had a wide array of principles ranging from the belief that the human
muscular structure was directly affected by negative emotional stimuli,
to a concept that human life essence, if properley harnessed, could
accomplish such tasks as manipulating the weather and curing disease.
Reich desisgned several large, booth-shaped machines made from organic
marerials and laced with various pipes and metallic objects to assist
in this process. After several years of this study, he was finally
convicted for practicing fraudulent medicine and was sentenced to
prison in Pennsylvania, where he would eventually die of a heart attack
in 1957.
Although contemporary science still largely does not accept Reich's basic theories as scientific fact, his studies have been the basis and inspiration for several fields of medicine and therapy today, and many conspiracy buffs believe that Dr. Reich's studies were more accurate then the U.S. government wishes us to believe.
