The Perrin Technique

The Perrin Technique, developed by Dr. Raymond Perrin, is a holistic approach designed to treat chronic fatigue conditions like Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, and Long COVID. The technique is based on the theory that various stressors can overstrain the sympathetic nervous system.

This system is crucial for:

  • Regulating blood flow

  • Maintaining organ function

  • Ensuring healthy lymphatic drainage

Nervous System Overload

Research has shown that a probable cause of this overload is the build-up of toxins in the fluid around the brain and spinal cord. In a healthy individual, these toxins flow from the brain into the lymph ducts of the head, face, and neck, and drain down the spinal cord into the lymph ducts along the spine.

Chronic Conditions

In sufferers of ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia, and Long COVID, there is a backflow at these drainage points, leading to increased toxicity and dysfunction of the central nervous system. This leads to the many symptoms associated with these chronic conditions.
