Automating Blood Test

 

For more than a decade, the ACO has been studying a blood test developed by Reich to measure human vitality. The College is now developing a plan to automate that test using new technology that can make this possible.

The test measures overall vitality by determining the rate that an individual's fresh blood cells undergo specific physical changes once they are removed from the body, explains Howard Chavis, M.D, the medical orgonomist chiefly responsible for the test.

Presently these changes are noted visually. Automating the test will allow what the human eye sees to be quantified. That will remove any subjective element in the blood analysis and speed the process of reading the test, a task that is now quite tedious.

The test could one day play a role in many areas of medicine, for example in oncology. Cancer often affects two people with an identical type and stage of the disease quite differently. The orgonomic blood test might be useful in predicting the ability of an individual to respond to treatment.
