The Importance of the Lymphatic System

Often overlooked, few people understand the importance of the lymphatic system for overall health and wellness. It could very well be the missing link for those seeking answers for their health concerns. In Dr. Perry's words, "If fluids don't move, you don't heal... You're not supposed to be tired, fatigued, lethargic, sick... feeling crappy all the time... It's not normal." 

Listen to this very informative and educational interview with Dr. Perry.
