CAN YOU HELP US HELP OTHERS BY ANSWERING A QUESTIONAIRRE PLEASE.
My name is William Irvin ATM (Psychotherapist). I am Director of
research at The Pain Research Centre in Australia. All our work is
devoted to developing further drug free pain relief methods. Our
present methods have been developed and tested over the last seven
years [none are suitable for chemical sensitivities. This is not a
sales pitch].
We developed a major therapy about four years ago work that is
successful for treating long term chronic illness, poor adult
physical and mental health resulting from a bad childhood.
Our next stage of research is into such things as migraine and immune
system failure and the vast array of symptoms immune failure can
produce.
The basis for our work is on the disruption to the functioning of the
healing ability of the brain caused by negative events in a persons
life.
We have already established the fact that a majority of difficult to
treat illness have bad life events as their cause. We know this
because we have been doing it on a regular basis now for several
years.
We are including a questionnaire in this e-mail in the hope that you
will provide us with information concerning chemical sensitivity that
only a sufferer can fully know.

Thank you for your participation. We will send out the results to all
group members at the end of August.

If it appears to us that there might be a single precipitating cause
to your migraine do you want us to contact you with our suggestions
as to how you might benefit from our work as it relates to your
specific case.
WE DO NOT WANT PAYMENT FOR THIS SUGGESTION. ANY CONTACT WE HAVE WITH
EACH OTHER AND THE GROUP MEMBERS WILL BE FREE.

If you have any questions then please contact us. Unfortunately we
are in Australia and most of the group seem to be in other parts of
the world so a face to face consultation is not possible but Yahoo
has the messenger service and this will be a big help should you wish
to speak with us.
