Interesting. There has been at least one study about him and his techniques:<p><i>Healthy volunteers practicing the learned techniques exhibited profound increases in the release of epinephrine, which in turn led to increased production of anti-inflammatory mediators and subsequent dampening of the proinflammatory cytokine response elicited by intravenous administration of bacterial endotoxin. This study could have important implications for the treatment of a variety of conditions associated with excessive or persistent inflammation, especially autoimmune diseases in which therapies that antagonize proinflammatory cytokines have shown great benefit.</i><p>Full paper: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pnas.org&#x2F;content&#x2F;111&#x2F;20&#x2F;7379.abstract" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pnas.org&#x2F;content&#x2F;111&#x2F;20&#x2F;7379.abstract</a>
