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 @http://www.onthewww.com/Living-Foods/links.html Enjoy! Peace and harmony, Kate
