Why You Should Listen: 

In this episode, you will learn about The Perrin Technique™ and the importance of detoxification and drainage in ME/CFS, Long COVID, and other conditions.

About My Guest:

My guest for this episode is Dr. Raymond Perrin.  Raymond Perrin, DO, PhD is an osteopath and neuroscientist and the creator of “The Perrin Technique™”.  The Perrin Technique™ is an osteopathic approach developed in 1989, originally for ME/CFS, that aims to manually drain toxins from the cerebrospinal fluid into the lymphatic system.  Movement of the spine and massage of the soft tissues in the head, neck, back, and chest direct all the toxins out of the lymphatic system and into the blood, where they are eventually detoxified by the liver.  Eventually, with less poisons affecting the central nervous system, the hypothalamus and the sympathetic nervous system begin to function correctly, restoring health to the patient.  His latest book is “Through the Looking Glass: Diagnosing and Treating Long COVID Using the Perrin Technique”.

Key Takeaways:

  • What conditions might The Perrin Technique™ be helpful for?
  • What is the process or experience of the technique?
  • What is the role of sympathetic dominance in chronic illness?
  • How does sympathetic dominance lead to an accumulation of toxins and toxicants?
  • Can tools such as limbic system retraining and vagal tonification be helpful adjuncts?
  • What is the connection to EDS and hypermobility?
  • How do we support endothelial health in our modern world?
  • Do patients benefit from treatment interventions aimed at MCAS?
  • How might a neodymium magnet be used to explore the potential for heavy metal toxicity?
  • Does the lymphatic system have a pump?
  • Can lymphatic fluid move in the wrong direction?
  • Are these conditions of persistent infection?
  • Can the Perrin Technique™ help the body to remove cytokines and lactic acid?
  • Are binders and drainage remedies helpful adjuncts?
