How Structure and Lymph Flow Influence Chronic Fatigue (ME/CFS)
Episode 46
Tuesday, 27 January, 2026
Chronic fatigue patients often focus on infections and toxins while missing a critical piece of the puzzle: structural dysfunction and lymphatic drainage. Dr. Eric Gordon sits down with Dr. Raymond Perrin, the osteopath whose groundbreaking research in the early 1990s revealed how thoracic spine dysfunction and impaired neurolymphatic flow drive neuroinflammation in ME/CFS. Dr. Perrin explains why treating the sympathetic nervous system through spinal manipulation and cranial work can restore glymphatic drainage from the brain, and how structural injuries create the conditions for toxin accumulation and persistent inflammation that keep people chronically ill.Episode Highlights:Thoracic spine dysfunction activates sympathetic overdrive and blocks lymphatic drainage, creating conditions for neuroinflammation and chronic illness.The glymphatic system drains toxins from the brain through specific pathways that malfunction in ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, and Long COVID.Structural injuries and spinal misalignments create the underlying conditions that allow infections or toxins to trigger chronic illnessListen in to learn more : [0:02:27] Thoracic Spine & Sympathetics Drive ME/CFS Mechanisms[0:08:59] Lymphatics Are Neurologically Driven, Not Passive Tubes[0:20:10] Neurolymphatic / Glymphatic System Clears Brain Toxins[0:30:57] The Perrin Technique: Five Signs & a Drainage Strategy[0:57:55] Long COVID as a Neuro‑Lymphatic Drainage FailureAbout Raymond Perrin, DO, PhDDr. Raymond Perrin is an osteopath and researcher who has specialized in ME/CFS since 1989, when he discovered that treating thoracic spine dysfunction resolved chronic fatigue symptoms in a cyclist. He earned his doctorate in 2005 from the University of Salford for his groundbreaking work on cerebrospinal fluid and lymphatic drainage in ME/CFS, introducing the concept of the neurolymphatic system years before the glymphatic system was officially recognized.
