In the 1920s, the young Reich, a medical student, attended training seminars conducted by Sigmund Freud. His talent and desire for research soon emerged, which led him, also driven by his own psychosocial vision of making therapy available to an ever-increasing number of people, to delve deeper into the role of the body with all its manifestations in the pathological and healing process. From this incessant research, some fundamental concepts emerged that laid the foundations for the first body psychotherapy and on which all his subsequent work was based: The functional unity of mind and body. The mind and body constitute a unitary and integrated reality that defines the functioning of the entire human organism. When a defensive behavior called character armor (or armor) is established at a psychic level, the body evolves with a corresponding muscular structure that determines its shape and size. Pulsation. Every organism and living system is characterized by an expansion-opening and contraction-closing movement. Reich discovered that in humans, if pleasure produces an expansion reflex, every frustration or unpleasant sensation produces a contraction and a closure that inhibits both the pulsation and the bioenergetic flow in the long run. The loss of contact. This inhibition leads to the crumbling of the functional unity of mind and body and to a limitation of the self-perceptive capacity, and therefore of the entire complex metabolism and bodily functioning, as well as the capacity to stay in affective-empathic contact with the outside world. In the 1930s and up to the beginning of the 1940s, his research led to the identification of a form of energy present in every living system that he called orgone (Reich, 1942 and 1948, “The discovery of orgone vol. 1 and 2”). Despite the huge amount of information material on the web declaring this discovery an artifact without scientific evidence, there are numerous experiments that Reich accurately described and that some scientists have repeated through which the effects of this orgone energy can be observed and its presence can be indirectly quantified. During these years Reich developed a special cabin capable of raising the concentration of orgone inside it by taking it from the surrounding environment. He soon realized the beneficial effects it had on living organisms including humans in which a vagotonic effect, analgesic properties and properties favoring the reconstruction of tissues and cellular pulsation, alkalizing and invigorating in general are evident. This cabin took the name of orgone accumulator or ORAC (from ORgone ACcumulator) and has been and is still used in hospitals, private clinics and treatment centers for various pathologies as well as cancer treatment. Following the ORANUR experiment with which Reich wanted to observe the effects of orgone energy on nuclear radiation (ORANUR: Orgone against Nuclear Radiation) he identified a variant of orgone that is produced when it no longer benefits from the natural pulsation or is in contact with polluting agents such as radiation or electromagnetic fields. This alteration of orgone energy took the name of DOR (from Deathly ORgone) and Reich was able to observe that even in humans the armor, preventing the free flow of energy, can in the long run generate DOR precisely because of the loss of pulsation. The effects of DOR on living organisms are almost opposite to those of orgone, not allowing the life of cells and tissues, preventing their healing causing chronic processes of inflammation, ulcers etc. or generating cancerous and degenerative processes. Following the ORANUR experiment, Reich, in order to reabsorb the dor that had gathered around his laboratory, developed the cloudbuster (1952) and the smaller version for medical use, the Medical Dor Buster (1954-55). Both of these devices exploit the great affinity between dor and water so that the latter can attract the former towards itself. Due to the unwanted side effects for the therapist who uses this device, only a few doctors tried to use it after Reich (among others W. Hoppe and E. Reich). However, the Greek homeopathic doctor J. Kavouras, starting from the experience of these and with the necessary precautions, carried out research and therapeutic intervention work with the dorbuster that was very interesting from a clinical point of view (Kavouras, 2005, “Heilen mit Orgonenergie – Die medizinische Orgonomie”). The variants of the orgone accumulator have increased over the years to adapt the treatment to the various needs. This is how blankets, belts, pillows and orgone cups were born (see related pages). As for the dorbuster, Kavouras himself developed some variants; in particular a helmet-shaped terminal to reabsorb energy stagnations in the head, stagnations that are at the basis of some pathologies such as epilepsy. The latter, precisely in confirmation of the orgonomic theory and the effectiveness of Reich's discoveries in the bioenergetic field, seems to draw valid and rapid benefits precisely from treatments with the dorbuster. Personally I am working with excellent results so far on a portable variant of the dorbuster that presents a reduced contamination of the external environment in order to reduce the risks for the operator.
