Reich's theories held that deficits or constrictions in bodily orgone were at the root of many diseases — including cancer — much as deficits or constrictions in the libido could produce neuroses in Freudian theory.
He created the Orgone Institute to pursue research into orgone energy after he emigrated to the US, and used it to publish literature and distribute material relating to the topic for more than a decade.
Reich designed special " orgone accumulators "— devices ostensibly collecting and storing orgone energy from the environment — for improvement of general health or even for weather control.
Ultimately, the U. S. Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) obtained a federal injunction barring the interstate distribution of orgone-related materials, on the grounds that Reich and his associates were making false and misleading claims, and later jailed Reich and destroyed all orgone-related materials at the institute after Reich violated the injunction.
Contrary to common misconception, Reich always rejected the idea that the accumulator could provide orgastic potency.
