The Perrin Technique Paperback – March 15, 2007

Who would think your dentist would reccomend this. My dentist said he was so tired of doctors offering no real answers for autoimmune disorders.This may not be what is happening with each person, but we need to look outside the box. There are answers, we just haven't found our answer yet.

I would go so far as to say that anyone with any chronic illness would benefit from reading this book and implementing the self-care part of this book into their daily routine-protocol. Dr. Perrin's theory is not only sensical, but slowly being proven by research. He shows you how to do daily lymph drainage massage and some other quick things that can make a big difference on your healing journey. The book is an easy, quick read and you like the more technical explanations, there's that also. Thank you Dr. Perrin for listening to your patient's and for your further studies in neuroscience to bring this needed information to the chronically ill. I imagine your theory will come to be proven for other illnesses besides CFS, which i do not suffer with. It has helped in my case.

Got this for a friend who is in love with it. Says it has a great look into being healthy.

This book was a huge eye opener for me. It made me take a closer look at things ie: diet, posture, breathing. Together with oesteopathy to correct my thoracic spine(my osteo had been saying for 12 months my thoracic spine wasn't right) and attention to essential fatty acids, amino acids and water, I a have no fatigue, no ibs, no headaches, no pain etc etc. this is essential reading for someone with CFS

I liked the most that he explained why the lymph reverses direction and can reinfect the brain. Find this on page 80 + 120. I found this book very interesting. I hope more practitioners will study his technique and offer their services to the public.

Reading this book was a inestimable surprise for having a better brain: many easy exercises to get rid of neurologic toxins, I can’t wait to enjoy the after-effect

An interesting theory of the cause of chronic fatigue, and has enough details of the program to try with your own osteopath/massage therapist if you can't find someone in your area trained in the actual Perrin technique. Don't know if it works yet, though, but I'm trying it out.

as expected

I’ve had M.E./CFS for almost 20 years. Unfortunately it took a long time (and a lot of heartache) to finally get diagnosed. Since then I have spent so much time reading as much research on this illness as I could get my hands on. I always felt like most things were only looking at one small part of the problem. It was when I read this book that I finally felt like someone had actually understood and was talking about the illness I live with. Not only that but the theory and science behind the treatment as well as the treatment itself made so much sense.I was diagnosed by Dr Perrin as being a 2.5 out of 10. I was told it would take more than two years to get better and that I would feel even more awful for a while after starting treatment. I already felt almost constantly nauseous, keeping my eyes open was so hard, I had frequent headaches and discomfort in my body. My heart felt unstable and exhausted (a scary feeling), I could only do around 200 steps per day and had to choose between cooking/eating or showering everyday. My quality of live was horrendous. I was a little concerned to hear I would get worse but I knew I had to get through it as life as it was, was just unliveable.I did get worse once I started treatment and it was one of the hardest 6 months. However after six months of feeling even worse than just described I started to feel better, then my energy started to improve, my neurological and heart symptoms became less severe and over the last two years I want from 2.5 out of 10 to almost 7 out of 10. I feel well I am able to do so much more than I have in years -I am able to socialise a bit again my quality of life is improved beyond recognition. It is still an ongoing process and I still do the self massage treatment twice a day, the mobilising exercises three times a day, pacing, detox support, sensible sleep, healthy diet etc every day. It is not a “magic bullet”, it does take daily dedication, commitment, persistence and grit, and, although I am not quite there yet myself, I have spoken to former M.E/CFS patients of Dr Perrin that have fully recovered and now lead a normal life again, so it is possible.I hugely recommend this book to everyone who has, or knows or cares for someone with M.E/CFS or fibromyalgia.By the way, these techniques (with some modification due to the extra pain and inflammation present in this condition) are also applicable to fibromyalgia sufferers.

I worked in medical research as a neuroscientist for 8 years. My 27 year old son has had severe CFS/ME for 4 years and mild since the age of 12. He has an MSc in neuroscience which he is too ill to complete. I have been scouring the scientific literature for 4 years I search of help. Dr Perrin’s technique was recommended by my son’s endocrinology consultant. The description of over toxicity of the brain owing to lack of perfusion with cerebral spinal fluid, described in this book, makes perfect sense as far as the science is concerned...as does the lymphatic drainage technique used to improve it. In my opinion this fits with the glial involvement. The immune system chaos may be secondary and involve the effect on the hypothalamus, but this is not my area of expertise. My son has been diagnosed by Dr Perrin as a 3, we had one treatment and then we were stopped by coronavirus.

This fantastic book really helped me alongside treatment at the Perrin Corner with Dr Perrin.To really understand the treatment is essential and I would encourage patients having the treatment to be committed 100%. My life has been transformed by the Perrin technique, in a way I never thought possible. In just 18 months I am extremely well and enjoying life, feeling great and energised again. The book has been my companion in between treatment sessions. Thankyou Dr Perrin, I wish all M.E. patients could meet you. You are the only person who could help me.

After 30 years of suffering; extreme fatigue, debilitating brain fog and inflammation this book and the self help techniques has transformed my health! 30 years of always feeling unwell which doctors have not been able to explain with their blood tests. Just a month of these self help techniques has given me a life back; I had believed my condition was here to stay for life. I am back out cycling and long walking. I have pre ordered the latest print edition for the latest updates!

Excellent read, makes so much sense. It's disheartening to see and hear so many medical professionals insist that this illness is all in the mind, when Dr Perrin shows that the causes are very real and genuinely physical in nature.I was diagnosed 14 months ago and have suffered for 3 years. It's been a long, hard road with little in the way of improvement.Reading this has given me hope that there could yet be help.
