The workshop was an enormous success, bringing together a knowledgeable and experienced group of practitioners eager to expand the reach of the Perrin Technique across the USA – we are thrilled to welcome new Perrin Technique Practitioners in Utah, Texas, Florida, Minnesota, and Wyoming!

We’d like to express a huge thank you to Rachel and Matthew Tobler, who were wonderful hosts in welcoming Dr. Perrin to Utah!

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)

We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Perrin recently featured on the Long Covid Podcast, in a two-part series!

Part 1: Breakthroughs in the Lymphatic System
In the first episode, Ray discusses the intricate connections between the sympathetic nervous system and chronic conditions like Long COVID and ME/CFS and emphasises the importance of understanding the body’s drainage systems to promote healing and recovery. Key topics include:

• The discovery of the lymphatic system and its implications.
• The connection between Long COVID, ME/CFS, and toxic buildup in the brain.
• Overview of treatment methodologies and their effectiveness.

Part 2: Pathways to Recovery

In the second episode, Dr. Perrin explores how the Perrin Technique can help alleviate symptoms and support long-term recovery. He shares compelling case studies and clinical insights, covering topics such as:

• Diagnostic methods for identifying Long COVID symptoms.
• The role of heavy metals and toxicity in illness.
• Self-massage and breathing exercises.

Dear All

It is with great sadness that I announce the death of local doctor 64 year old Andy Wright who helped me and probably thousands of people around the globe.

I first met Andy in the 1990s when I began work with ME/CFS patients. In those days the NHS weren’t helping many people but one caring doctor in Bolton was improving the health of many patients and that was Andy. We met up and spoke on the phone regularly and occasionally went out for a curry with our mutual friend and colleague integrative dentist John Roberts who lectured to our Conference many years ago. My PhD couldn’t have been completed without his encouragement and advice. He introduced me to so many concepts that helped shape my many years of continuous clinical research in this department.

Treating ME and Lyme Disease differently to his NHS colleagues led to problems with the GMC who ordered him to stop his pioneering efforts. I told Andy he had to fight and stay with his important work but alas he was forced out. He explained to me that he had no choice and told me “Ray, I have a wife and young family to support and I need to make a living for them so I have to give up my ME/CFS and Lymes work so I can keep my job as a GP.”

I wished him well and have constantly thought about his work and his concepts when addressing my own research in this field. His appearance in the YouTube  Perrin Technique Film can still be seen on my website supporting my work (which you can still view online – https://theperrintechnique.com/about-us/ ). Thousands of patients around the world are benefiting from my treatment and many still watch the film.

My work has progressed to Long COVID and many of the concepts Andy and I have discussed in the past are helping patients with this disease. My treatment for Lyme disease is based on the help and advice given to me by Andy and many patients around the world with ME/CFS type illnesses have undiagnosed Lyme / similar diseases, exactly as Andy had predicted 30 years ago.

I used to send my regards to Andy via mutual patients but I feel sad that we didn’t keep closer contact over the years. I felt it would be hard for Andy, as he was kept away from continuing his scientific endeavours.

My latest book on Long COVID is almost complete and I have decided to dedicate the book to three friends and colleagues that I have sadly lost in the past month. One of them is Andy, may his dear soul rest in peace. The millions of patients with Long COVID, Lymes, ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia all owe a huge gratitude to Dr Andy Wright and I will make sure they know it.

Kamalaya Koh Samui is a multi-award winning Wellness Sanctuary and Holistic Spa located on the southern coastline of Koh Samui, Thailand, and we are proud to announce this wellness resort now has a licence for The Perrin Technique!

The retreat recently hosted a training workshop, where Dr Perrin taught a group of their resident therapists. Dr Perrin and the class can be seen below alongside general manager Gopal Kumar as well as Advanced Perrin Technique Practitioner Rakhee Mediratta who assisted with the training.
