Healthy blood yields no cultures of bacteria in bouillon. Cancerous blood on the other hand yields cultures of rot bacteria and T-bacilli. Rot bacteria and T-bacilli can also be observed microscopically in the blood of cancer patients (though not at magnifications less than 2000x).

Examination of the blood is therefore particularly useful for the early detection of cancer. In fact, I would like to venture the assumption that the blood is the first system to be affected by systemic contraction and subsequent shrinking of the organism. Blood is, after all, the “sap of life” which binds all the organs into one whole and provides them with nourishment. Blood therefore plays the major role in orgone therapy for cancer. For that reason the orgonotic function of the blood must be fully understood.

At this point I would like to call attention to the accepted theory concerning the spread of cancer tumors. According to this theory, cancer cells from the primary tumor enter the bloodstream and are then carried to distant organs, where they settle and grow into new tumors, the so-called “metastases.” This process has never been directly observed, however, and the question remains: Is this hypothesis correct? Our interpretation suggests another and more plausible explanation: It is not necessary to assume that cancer cells are transported in the blood. Since the processes of shrinking and putrefaction are general, local tumors can form here or there, sooner or later, at any place in the organism. The case I described earlier, in Chapter V, disclosed the fact that the location of metastases is determined by local spasms and disturbances of biological functioning. A cancer tumor may first appear in the breast as a result of a chronic spasm of the pectoralis muscle, and be followed somewhat later by a second tumor in the ribs or the spine as a result of local spasms in the diaphragm. Muscle contractions are evidence of a biopathic dysfunction and represent the general tendency of the organism toward contraction and shrinking. The formation of metastases in parts of the body or organs distant from the primary tumor must of course be distinguished from the growth of the tumor into the surrounding tissue, e.g., when a cancer of the rectum grows through the bladder wall.

We might now make an assumption about the nature of cancer of the blood system, so-called leukemia, though more extensive observations are required for its confirmation. If the shrinking and disintegrating of the erythrocytes represent the earliest and most general phase in the cancer disease, then the rampant proliferation of leucocytes becomes easy to comprehend. The function of the white blood cells is not, like that of the erythrocytes, to provide for tissue respiration and the supply of orgone energy. Instead, they defend the organism against bacteria or other “foreign bodies.” White blood corpuscles, leucocytes, lymphocytes, and phagocytes always accumulate where foreign bodies (bacteria, dirt, etc.
