MEAction promoting a Perrin Technique course on Twitter....

"A Perrin Technique Workshop will be held in Asheville, NC, this July 9th-10th for training with Dr. Raymond Perrin, DO, PhD—British osteopath, neuroscientist, and creator of the Perrin Technique."

"This workshop is for osteopaths, physical therapists, and other manual therapists with a basic knowledge of cranial techniques. The course has been approved for 13 CEUs by the NCPT Board and 13 CMEs by the American Osteopathic Association."

"Learn how to help some of your most complex patients with neuro-lymphatic drainage disorders, ME/CFS, & Long COVID. If you are a PT, osteopath or manual therapist or if you have ME/ Long COVID & work with one & would be interested in them learning this technique, spread the word."

The "toxicity" thinking seems symbological and muddled to me.

I dont buy lymph blockage as cause and cure of ME. As for anecdotes, LP claims as much and is definitely hocum. Any group of ME diagnosed patients will throw up some spontaneous recoveries, if they even have the same condition to start with.

I would not deny maybe there is potential palliative benefit in circulation therapy, as there is Puri's evidence of lactic acid build up in some PWME brains. There is ESR evidence for low blood volume and thickening in ME as well. Also evidence for fibrin amyloid microclots in long COVID. Maybe someone should quantify massage therapy in relation to these.

I view lactate as a byproduct of metabolic changes due to immunological ME, so would regard it as a secondary symptom. So I see addressing it as not likely to be curative.

I do use circulation therapy myself, with celery and beetroot in my diet, lots of hydration and occasional air massage baths, using a unit which blows air into a kind of mat with holes in which you lie on, pyrotherapy, also restricted yoga. That all helps palliatively. No point in throwing the baby out with the bath water!

As for mum I dare say sometimes it is the thought which counts. Nice of her to want to help, which is what wanting to get me the book really means.
 
Lipedema Simplified 2023 Virtual Community Event Adds Dr. Raymond Perrin As Keynote Speaker

Esteemed ME/CFS Specialist and Researcher, Founder of The Perrin TechniqueTM to Speak on Neurolymphatics and Glymphatics at Upcoming Virtual Event

BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, UNITED STATES, October 23, 2023 /EINPresswire / -- Lipedema Simplified is proud to announce Dr. Raymond Perrin, esteemed osteopath and neuroscientist, and founder of the Perrin Technique TM, as another featured keynote speaker at its upcoming Lipedema & Lymphedema Heart to Heart: Me, You, We, Us community learning event held Friday, October 27 through Sunday, October 29. Dr. Perrin will be joining us as a virtual keynote speaker live from the United Kingdom.

Dr. Perrin will be presenting a talk about the Perrin TechniqueTM at the Lipedema & Lymphedema Heart to Heart: Me, You, We, Us event on Saturday, October 28. His speaking event titled, Neurolymphatics/Glymphatics - The Perrin Technique Detoxing the Body, will provide an overview of the technique, and how it helps to remove toxins out of the lymphatic system, return the sympathetic nervous system to normal functioning, and improve the lives of patients with lymphatic disorders. The glymphatic system is a recently discovered macroscopic waste clearance system that utilizes a unique system of perivascular channels, to detoxify and clean out the central nervous system. Dr Perrin has been an innovator in this area, working within this field for over 30 years, and his talk will be a deep dive into this newly discovered system.

“We are incredibly excited to have Dr. Perrin join us virtually as a keynote speaker,” said Catherine Seo, Ph.D., CEO of Lipedema Simplified and Lipedema Project.“The Perrin TechniqueTM is a well-known approach in osteopathic medicine to help direct toxins out of the lymphatic system, which over time, helps the sympathetic nervous system return to normal functioning. Dr. Perrin's trademarked technique has helped many patients lead healthier lives, and we're looking forward to him joining this year's event.”

Dr. Perrin is a registered osteopath, neuroscientist, specialist in chronic fatigue syndrome ME/CFS, international lecturer, and published author. He is also an honorary clinical research fellow at the School of Health Sciences, at the Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health at the University of Manchester, UK. Dr. Perrin has been practicing for almost 40 years, with experience treating some of the world's leading athletes, and has been working on ME/CFS research since 1989. His work has led to a significant expansion of knowledge of the disease, including diagnosis and treatment. He was honored in 2005 by the University of Salford with a doctorate for his thesis on the involvement of cerebrospinal fluid in lymphatic drainage in ME/CFS; and was an appointment member of the scientific committee for the second, third, and fourth World Congress on Neurobiology and Psychopharmacology affiliated with the European Association of Psychiatrists Annual Conference.

I don't have access to the full article but this cannot be anything good.

The Telegraph: It’s the illness that has no cure. But this doctor believes he’s found answer to chronic fatigue syndrome

Chronic fatigue and long Covid remain poorly understood, but Dr Perrin’s unusual techniques are having surprisingly positive results​

Ah, you may have missed the end of that sentence then. It was voted 3rd most popular…in 2010

I got that, my point was Perrin seems to be claiming its a popular treatment when that figure was probably based on a percentage of a tiny number who had tried his technique, and in it came out worse than pacing or resting which aren't treatments. It's all nonsense.

you mean opinion polls from near 15 years ago aren’t still highly valid and relevant?
