Here is something that is alternative:

In the book: Can A GLUTEN-FREE DIET HELP? How? by Lloyd Rosenvold, M.D.,
[Keats Publishing, 27 Pine Street (Box 876) New Canaan, CT 06840-0876,
1992, ISBN 0-87983-538-9] he states that a study was done in the 1930's
where a group with high blood pressure was put on a gluten-free diet. The
whole group experienced a reduction in bp. At almost the same time, the
first really effective medication for reducing bp was put on the market.
The study was soon forgotten, and patients were given a magic pill to help
high bp. Taking a pill is a lot easier than following a g-f diet.
