Does anyone else see a potential connection between Wilhelm Reich and adrenochrome?

This is kind of a stretch, but Wilhelm Reich's technical work on "orgone" energy and modified faraday cages for orgone extraction seems to kind of be tangentially related to the adrenochrome theories.

If "orgone" was real and reich figured out how to harvest it, it seems like there might be elites who would want to use it for occult purposes. A few decades of that might lead to some adrenochrome theories flying around.

At the very least it is strange that a credible person was working on something that sounds so similar to how adrenochrome gets characterized in the theories.
