Abstract

The author replies to the comments of Drs Blanchard and McGrady, urging that researchers reinvigorate their research efforts in complementary and alternative treatments for hypertension. In subsequent research there is a need to assess treatment adherence, to use more rigorous outcome measures, and to develop new outcome measures that assess impact and improvement in quality of life.
