Gene expression review on stress reduction

I wondered if anybody has seen this paper ? I've uploaded the pdf.
I felt it was quite interesting but then I wondered if I'm just too easy to get wool pulled over my eyes?
I also need to confess I use horizontal yoga and visualisation! However I know these techniques will not cure ME/CFS but they might help a little?
I would be interested in others views on this.

I expect that the results they found were found in essentially healthy subjects. So if things are working properly than maybe this is a possible outcome but when things are broken then the results might not apply? (don't know the answer but it's not a certainty that they would I think).

I couldn't read it all but I am concerned that this is another way to avoid real treatment protocols for those who are ill if they extend the results to that group.

Otherwise I think that doing any of the activities could be helpful in a temporary an minor way. And many many simply find enjoyment in the activities.

I'm sure others will have more specific and detailed things to say.
