Reich came to believe that life did not originate only in some ancient, dark corner of history, but that life is being recreated every day, right under our noses, through the specific process of bionous disintegration and reorganization. He observed bions develop not only from organic materials, but also from inorganic materials as well.

Before and since Reich, other scientists have also discovered what Reich called bions, giving them other names. However, Reich had one of the most comprehensive views as he was able to later connect the bions to cosmic life energy processes: what he called orgone energy. Presented here are works by many of the other scientists who have observed bionous processes, and the pleomorphic nature of cellular life. Unfortunately, none of the published materials by Reich on the bion question are in-print and available today from bookstores.

* HERETIC'S NOTEBOOK: EMOTIONS, PROTOCELLS, ETHER-DRIFT AND COSMIC LIFE ENERGY, edited by James DeMeo. Contains four different articles on the questions of bions, biogenesis, protocells and the Reich blood test: "Studies on the Origins of Life: The Preparation of Primordial Cell-Like Forms" by Bernard Grad, "Some Observations on Reich's Experiment 20" by Maxwell Snyder, "The Sanal Theory of Bong Han Kim: Bion-Like Processes in Acupuncture and Biology" by Dong Chul Kong and Hyun-Won Kim, and "Bion-Biogenesis Research and Seminars at OBRL: Progress Report" by James DeMeo. Includes many photographs and illustrations, and the back cover presents color photos of bions and protocells. Other fascinating articles also in this volume, on a wide range of subjects related to Reich's original discoveries. One of the best and most comprehensive summaries of new research findings, flowing from Reich's discoveries of over 50 years ago, available today. 272 pp.

* DARKFIELD WARRIORS: Your Definitive Guide to the World of Darkfield Live Blood Microscopy, An Instruction Manual, by Greg Fredericks. Covers the history and development of darkfield microscopy, along with discussions of the works by Antoine Bechamp, Gunter Enderlein, Royal Raymond Rife, Wilhelm Reich, and Gaston Nassens. Partly introductory, partly with fine points of detail, with many graphics and full-color photomicrographs of various blood microbes, micro-particles, and blood cell morphologies typical of healthy versus unhealthy conditions. An essential addition to the library of the microscope enthusiast, and blood specialist. 86 pp. Import.

* THE LIVING CELL: A Re-Examination of its Fine Structure. by Harold Hillman and P. Sartory. A critical scientific discussion of the differences between what can actually be seen in the light microscope versus what is imaged by electron microscopes. Electron microscopes kill their specimines, coating them with a metal vapor which creates artifacts and "structures" in the cellular image which factually cannot be demonstrated. Hillman argues that ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum and a few other cellular structures are in fact artifacts of electron beam imaging, which have no verification in light microscopy of living cells. Cellular physiology then attributes functions to these artifacts, which has severe implications for biology. Import. 112 pp.

* THE BLOOD AND ITS THIRD ANATOMICAL ELEMENT, by ANTOINE BECHAMP. The pioneer scientist's last work laying out in great detail the elements of his Microzymian theory of the organization of living organisms and organic materials. It shows that more than 100 years ago, the germ or microbian theory of disease was demonstrated by BŽchamp and those who worked with him to be without foundation and totally inadequate as an explanation of disease and its transmission. 217 pp.

* SPARKS OF LIFE: Darwininsm and the Victorian Debates over Spontaneous Generation, by JAMES E. STRICK. Must all life come from pre-existing life? Do all cells, including those of the tiniest bacteria, arise only from division of parental cells? Isn't the central idea of evolution that life descends with modification from prior, ancestral life? If evolution is true, then must not there have been some natural creation of life from non-life? And would not the same conditions for life-creation potentially exist today? These questions abounded in intellectual, medical and naturalist circles in the decades after Darwin's ideas became widely known, and they intersect with modern questions regarding the origin-of-life debate. Reich's work is not mentioned, but one can see parallel arguments and observations during the century which preceeded and followed him. 283 pp.

* THE DREAM & LIE OF LOUIS PASTEUR, by R.B. PEARSON. Critical look at how Pasteur built his reputation on the stolen discoveries of Antoine Bechamp. Reprint of the 1940s "Pasteur, Plagiarist, Imposter! The Germ theory Exploded". Provides a good historical background to the current controversy surrounding vaccination. 107 pp.

* PASTEUR EXPOSED: The False Foundations of Modern Medicine: Germs, Genes, Vaccines, by ETHEL D. HUME. A comparison of Pasteur's theories to Bechamp's more empirical discoveries on microzymas & pleomorphism. Import. 259 pp.

* THE CANCER CURE THAT WORKED: Fifty Years of Suppression, by BARRY LYNES. Documents the discoveries of Royal Rife and Arthur Kendall on the pleomorphism of bacteria, the powerful Rife microscope, and the effect of electromagnetic frequencies on cells and bacteria. Also details the repression experienced by Rife after the initial acceptance of his case studies on curing cancer. Again, the head of the AMA tried to buy the patent rights to Rife's discoveries, and when they weren't for sale, the AMA in collusion with the FDA, set out to destroy Rife. Import. 167 pp.

* THE CANCER MICROBE, by ALAN CANTWELL. JR. Outlines the author's extensive work, and the work of others such as Bechamp, Reich, and Livingston, on the discovery of a specific cancer microbe, and the hostile reception of this discovery by an arrogant, power-hungry, and greedy cancer industry. 281 pp.

* A NEW BACTERIOLOGY, by S. SONEA & M. PANISSET. A controversial empirical work on bacterial symbiosis and pleomorphism; "... in nature, bacteria form a unified global entity in which all bacteria are linked, both genetically and by specific high-level functions." Fascinating work. 140 pp.

* DO NO HARM: 714X-Defying A Hopeless Prognosis, by Charles Pixley and Caroline Ganz. The Scientific Ethical, Legal and Spiritual Relevance of Somatidian Orthobiology and 714X. Originally an informed-consent manual for patients undergoing treatment for degenerative disease using the methods of Gaston Naessens, with articles by Naessens, Pixley, and others. Naessens is the discoverer of a micro-particle in blood plasma, which he termed somatid, and it appears identical to what Reich called blood bions. Pixley was treating patients in the USA using Naessens' methods, but was attacked by the FDA and imprisoned for using the banned non-toxic treatment "714X". Naessens was similarly attacked in Canada, as described in the book "Persecution and Trial of Gaston Naessens", also available from this web site. 154pp.
