There has not been much systematic research except for the treatment of cancer in mice, where the tumor is diminished but the mice die of tumor necrosis. We need much more research. Orgone energy exists everywhere;...

No one wants to suffer. Most of the time we go to our doctor because we don't feel well and we want something to make us feel better. In general we're not interested for the psychospiritual reasons for illness. However, in the day of the shaman, the concern was just the opposite.
