Rose Stamler,Jeremiah Stamler,Richard H. Grimm,Flora C. Gosch,Patricia J. Elmer,Alan R. Dyer,Reuben Berman,Joan Fishman,Nancy Van Heel,Jean Civinelli,Arline McDonald +10 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that nutritional therapy may substitute for drugs in a sizable proportion of hypertensives or, if drugs are still needed, can lessen some unwanted biochemical effects of drug treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Primary Prevention of Hypertension by Nutritional-Hygienic Means: Final Report of a Randomized, Controlled Trial
Rose Stamler,Jeremiah Stamler,Flora C. Gosch,Jean Civinelli,Joan Fishman,Patricia McKeever,Arline McDonald,Alan R. Dyer +7 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that even a moderate reduction in risk factors for hypertension among hypertension-prone individuals contributes to the primary prevention of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alan R. Dyer,Rose Stamler,Richard H. Grimm,Jeremiah Stamler,Reuben Berman,Flora C. Gosch,Linda Ann Emidy,Patricia J. Elmer,Joan Fishman,N. Van Heel +9 more
TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that hypertensive patients may have a different diurnal pattern of sodium and water excretion than normotensive subjects and that further research is needed to clarify this issue.
Journal Article

Rose Stamler,Jeremiah Stamler,Richard H. Grimm,Flora C. Gosch,Alan R. Dyer,Reuben Berman,Jean Civinelli,Patricia J. Elmer,Joan Fishman,N. Van Heel +9 more
TL;DR: It may be possible after establishing good blood pressure control, to maintain control in a sizeable proportion with less or no medication, when reduction of weight, sodium, and alcohol is achieved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonpharmacological control of hypertension
Rose Stamler,Jeremiah Stamler,Richard H. Grimm,Richard H. Grimm,Alan R. Dyer,Flora C. Gosch,Reuben Berman,Patricia J. Elmer,Patricia J. Elmer,Joan Fishman,Nancy Van Heel,Jean Civinelli,Ron Hoeksema +12 more
TL;DR: Findings indicate it may be possible, after establishing good blood pressure control, to maintain control in a sizable proportion without medication, when reduction of weight, sodium, and alcohol intake is achieved.
