Hi,
in response to Harris, re:
        Can anyone recommend a good spa?  It doesn't necessarily have to be
        vegetarian (since I'm not) but it would be fine if it was.  That, in
fact,
        could be a kick-start to a vegetarian lifestyle, which alone may
have very
positive effects on my hypertension.

A friend of mine spent three weeks at the Optimum Helath Institute in San
Diego and loved every minute. All raw food and a relaxing atmsophere. THey
are on the web @http://www.optimumhealth.org/
or go to the Living and raw foods web site for more

Enjoy!

Peace and harmony,

Kate
