FORME is dedicated to helping osteopathic research into chronic fatigue
syndrome (CFS/ME) also known in the USA as CFIDS. FORME has funded
research for the past 10 years that has led to the scientific support of
The Perrin Technique™ which has helped hundreds of patients with chronic
fatigue syndrome (CFS/ME) and totally cured many since 1989.
The Perrin
Technique is based on Dr Perrin’s theory that different stress factors
whether physical, allergies, emotional or infections lead to an
overstrain of the sympathetic nervous system
Dr Perrin described ME as a pre-viral condition that lead to an
overstrained sympathetic system associated with increased permeability
of the blood-brain-barrier and the accumulation of toxins in the brain.
Chemical sensitivity was one characteristic of the condition.
Manchester osteopath Dr Perrin believes he has proved that the
debilitating syndrome is the physical result of the way the body deals
with toxins.
He believes a picture of varicose lymphatic vessels taken during a
research project at Salford University shows for the first time the
"backflow" of lymphatic drainage that he believes is the cause of toxin
build-up.
