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 shows the extent and strength of the patient's orgone energy field. The vacor tube is an orgone charged glass vacuum tube that glows under the influence of the patient's orgone energy field. The medical dor-buster siphons a toxic form of orgone - dor (an acronym for deadly orgone) - from the patient's body.

radiesthesia (clairvoyant healing, medical dowsing, medical radiesthesia): Method of ostensible diagnosis and treatment selection. The word radiesthesia is the anglicized form of radiesthesie, an apparent euphemism for dowsing coined by the Abbe Alex Bouly in 1927. It literally means perception of radiation. Dowsing (see above; also called biolocation) is a clairvoyant art centered on finding water, minerals, animals, missing persons, lost objects, or hidden treasure, usually with an instrument such as a pendulum or divining rod (a forked rod or tree branch, or a bent wire).

Radiesthesia may refer to:

(a)   all forms of dowsing;

(b)  medical dowsing specifically;

(c)   dowsing and radionics; or

(d)  the ability to detect biological radiations.

Bouly and two other French priests - the Abbe Alexis Mermet and Father Jean Jurion - pioneered medical dowsing. Mermet's hypothesis was threefold:

(1)  everything emits radiation,

(2)  some kind of current flows through human hands, and

(3)  holding appropriate objects renders them revelatory tools.

There are two basic diagnostic modes of radiesthesia: In one, practitioners detect and diagnose illness simply by passing their hands over the patient. In the other, they hold an instrument (see pendular diagnosis) over the patient or over a sample of tissue or body fluids, a photograph of the patient, or one of the patient's belongings (e.g., an article of clothing). In the latter form of radiesthesia, practitioners base diagnosis on the movements of the instrument.
