THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS: A TRIUMP IN PRINT AND PRACTICE

The Academy of Nutritional Medicine (AONM) featured a glowing review of Dr. Ray Perrin’s latest book, Through the Looking Glass: Diagnosing and Treating Long COVID Using the Perrin Technique, in their November newsletter. Described as a “tour-de-force”, the review shares how the book combines cutting-edge research with over three decades of clinical practice, offering invaluable insights for both patients and practitioners. To download the review in full, click the following link:

The AONM review praises the “impressive updated explanation” of how the Perrin Technique works, building on Ray’s groundbreaking 2020 Medical Hypotheses article, which linked disturbances in the neuro-lymphatic drainage to Long COVID and ME/CFS. The review also highlights how the book explores the role of the subarachnoid lymphatic-like membrane (SLYM), describing the publication as both timely and comprehensive.

Interest in Dr. Perrin’s work has surged following coverage in The Telegraph and other media. Since its release on 7th November, Through the Looking Glass sold out within one week due to overwhelming demand, with limited stock now remaining of Dr. Perrin’s other books too (The Perrin Technique: Second Edition and Concise Perrin Technique Handbook)

Perrin Technique™ featured in The Telegraph

An article published online in The Telegraph spotlights Dr. Raymond Perrin’s work and the development of the Perrin Technique for ME/CFS and long COVID.

It explores the origins of the technique, discusses the recent major breakthroughs in science which back up the foundations of the Perrin Technique and includes insights from the latest book, Through the Looking Glass.

Prof. Adrian Heald, consultant physician at Salford Royal (part of Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust), adds valuable support from a recognised NHS perspective as he calls for more research into the Perrin Technique and notes the technique’s “positive results” for ME/CFS and long COVID patients:

“We’re increasingly learning about the physiology on which the Perrin Technique is based. The science is slowly catching up with what Dr. Perrin has been proposing as a technique for many years… Anecdotally we have seen positive results in patients with very difficult to treat chronic fatigue/ME who have been seeing Dr Perrin.”

– Professor Adrian Heald, consultant physician at Salford Royal (part of Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust)

The full article is available here via The Telegraph’s website (subscription required, with a free month’s trial available)

Following its global online publication in November which sparked significant interest, Dr. Perrin’s interview with The Telegraph was also featured in print on 11th January in the UK. This fantastic feature continues to shine a spotlight on the Perrin Technique, helping to spread awareness worldwide.
