In the early 1940s in Norway, while on the run from the Nazis, Wilhelm Reich was observing, via high-magnification microscopy, the disintegration of organic materials into small energy vesicles, which he called bions. These bions, upon further observation and as documented with time-lapse movies, would organize themselves into basic life forms such as amoeba and paramecia. Various control procedures, involving high temperature, pressurized sterilization, demonstrated the reality of this "natural organization of protozoa". 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. Photocopies may be ordered from the Wilhelm Reich Museum Bookstore, PO Box 687, Rangeley, Maine 04970 USA, Telephone (207) 864-3443.
* THE BION EXPERIMENTS: On the Origins of Life, by Wilhelm Reich. Presents Reich's original microbiological experiments, published in Germany in 1938, now available in English. Documents his Oslo experiments of 1936-37, in which Reich applied the formula of tension-->charge-->discharge-->relaxation, derived form his research on the function of the orgasm, to the microscopic biological world, thereby opening a route to an understanding of the origin of life. The work is divided into two parts: the first, a detailed report on the experiments; the second, Reihc's conclusions and exposition of his research method. Important to note, Reich's experiments on the vesicular microscopical bions predate all later work on similar micro-particles and proto-cells, which are the mainstay of today's research on the "origins of life" question. The bion experiments have been repeatedly replicated by other researchers, as provided in other publications on our booklist. 161 pp.

* MICROSCOPY OF THE LIVING BLOOD, DVD Video from Gitte Jensen. A scientifically-based video examining live blood by a noted cancer researcher and immunologist, which had its origins in the accumulated misinformation surrounding darkfield microscopy of the living blood. Conflicting descriptive terms and definitions between practitioners trained in alternative schools of blood biology and practitioners trained in mainstream medical and scientific concepts has led to severe communication gaps. Presents an excellent video overview of blood constituents, with many videos from blood as seen under the microscope in both darkfield and brightfield. To use a microscope responsibly it is necessary to possess some understanding of the complexity of natural processes based on structures that can be visualized by microscopy. An excellent presentation which cuts through much of the fog and contradiction from different schools of thought on blood work. The video does not mention the Reich blood test or Reich's bion discovery, but does not contradict it except where the author begins to discuss "cell-suicide" or "apoptosis", which is a modern term for Reich's earlier description of bionous disintegration of cells. A fantastic look through the microscope! 30 minutes. Region Code 1 (N. America)

* 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.

* SEVEN CLUES TO THE ORIGIN OF LIFE: A Scientific Detective Story, by A. G. CAIRNS-SMITH. This book addresses, in the spirit of an intriquing detective story, the question of how life may have arisen on earth. It relies on the emthods of Sherlock Holmes, in particular his principle that one should use the most paradoxical features of a case to crack it. This approach to the essential biological problems is not merely light-hearted, but a fascinating scrutiny of some fundamental questions. Cairns-Smith is an advocate of the "clay-mineral particle" origin of life, a theory which has many similarities to Reich's bion theory. 131 pp.

* RETHINKING PASTEUR'S GERM THEORY: How to Maintain Your Optimal Health, by Nancy Appleton. When a cold or flue is introduced into the workplace or classroom, some people may be sick for weeks, while others are unaffected. Maintaining a healthy immune system is key to avoiding illnesses. This common knowledge is contrary to Louis Pasteur's germ theory, the prevailing medical paradigm of our time, which has led to the pharmaceutical approach to healing. The dominance of pasteur's theory has obscured the work of other scientists who believed that internal imbalances in the body place us in jeopardy for disease. This book presents the research of pioneers -- including Bernard, Bechamp, Cannon, Nassens, Page and Reich -- who explored the role of body chemistry and our natural immunity as the first defense against illness.

* THE DEEP HOT BIOSPHERE: Myth of Fossil Fuels, by THOMAS GOLD. Suppose someone claimed that we are NOT running out of petroleum? Or that life on Earth began below the surface of our planet? Or that oil and gas are not "fossile fuels"? Or that if we find extraterrestrial life it is likely to be within, not on, other planets? You might expect to hear statements like these from an author of science fiction. But what if they came from a renowned physicist, an indisputably brilliant scientist who has been called "one of the world's most original minds"? In this book, author Gold sets forth truly controversial and astonishing theories about where oil and gas come from, and how they acquire their organic "signatures". The conclusions he reaches in this book are quite agreeable to the prior work of Wilhelm Reich on the bions, though Reich is not mentioned -- he sees petroleum as the product of deep-earth bio-activity, much like what is seen coming from the earth at deep-sea hydrothermal vents and in hot-springs, which yield up "archaea" (bions) from great depth. This certainly makes understandable the resistance his ideas have been met with, as acceptance of Gold will bring Reich more to the fore-front of open discussion on the "origin-of-life" question. Gold is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, with many other titles and honors, and not some "outsider", so he cannot be so easily ignored. Definitely worth the read, and will wipe away the pessimism regarding the current Islamic-stranglehold over the West, due to our addiction to imported petroleum. If Gold is correct, nearly at every location on earth should yield up petroleum if wells are drilled deep enough. 243 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.
