On this episode of Connecting Minds I had the honour of talking with Dr Raymond Perrin. Dr Perrin is a Registered Osteopath, Neuroscientist and Specialist in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome ME/CFS.
He proposed that there is a lymphatic drainage system of the brain DECADES before the science caught up with and validated his theory. This system is essential in draining large molecules from the brain through the cerebrospinal fluid. The accumulation of inflammatory chemicals and other toxic substances in the brain’s lymphatic system can lead to not just CFS, but numerous other conditions that Dr Perrin terms neuro-lymphatic drainage disorders.
Dr Perrin also developed a treatment, The Perrin Technique™, that he has successfully employed to help sufferers of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis.
