Via the placebo effect, unfortunately. Not that that's not a useful outcome, just a shame to you to spend enough money to trigger it.
Not to say what you're referring to is just the placebo effect (I wouldn't know), why do you downers always poo-poo the placebo effect?

Have you ever considered people might actually have a legitimate concern?
Yes I have considered wherther their concern is legitimate, and I believe it is not.
It probably is genuine however - that is how they have been sucked in - they firmly believe the hoax.

Btw why would the FDA go out of its way to take all of someone's work on this subject and burn it all?
Maybe so that gullible people wouldn't use crystals and copper pipe instead of real medicine for their medical problems?
Oh good grief. There are bazillions of "quack" purveyors with plenty of books to be had - but the FDA does NOT burn them. I would say They would only BURN books that had information They didn't want out.

He specifically said that the effect is useful - "Not that that's not a useful outcome"?
You really should try to make your dis-info less obviously trolling than this!

Do you have any record of them destroying his works? Because there sure is a lot of information available about him, I guess they missed all of that?
He was sentenced to two years in prison, and in August 1956 several tons of his publications were burned by the FDA - a notable example of censorship in U.S. history.
ETA: Ever seen the warning label on 'quack' remedies that the FDA issues?

You don't make money from advertising, you spend money on advertising.

Not hardly. You're telling me someone proved a negative somewhere (that the idea of orgone isn't legitimate) and it missed my attention?

AFAIK the lack of legitimacy has been proven over and over again

You mean a lack of evidence. Again, is not positive evidence to the contrary.

No - I mean lack of legitimacy - which was the term you used in the post I quoted.
Orgone is not legitimate science because it does not meet the requirements of legitimate science.

No! No! Clouds are good to look at and bring rain, which is good too. I don't like the idea of rain clouds being busted up too much. All life (plants, animals, people, etc.) need rain/water, you know.

"Legitimacy" is scientifically meaningless.
Orgone is not legitimate science because it does not meet the requirements of legitimate science.
And I didn't claim that it was a legitimate (rigorously proven) science.
You're telling me someone proved a negative somewhere (that the idea of orgone isn't legitimate) and it missed my attention?
Once again, not being proven, is different than being positively refuted.[

And I didn't say that you did - perhaps you should go read what you wrote.
You claimed, and I quote:

And I said yes - it has proved that it isn't legitmate.
Once again, not being proven, is different than being positively refuted.[
And if you were as clever as you think you are you would have noticed that I didn't actually say anything at all about it being refuted.
Now come on - I've already asked you to up the ante on your trolling - it's really geting rather too obvious....good trolling should be quite a lote more suble.
