Thanks for the tips and recommendations, openeyes.
I've heard about healing crises -- but in relationship to Reiki, not healthy eating! It's an interesting idea, and in Reiki, I tend to think it's mostly psychosomatic. I'll watch out for it with eating raw, but hopefully I won't have too much going on. For the last three weeks I've been doing yoga and running regularly, and drinking a lot of water. My diet has been about 95% vegetarian, and maybe another 50% of that is vegan.
Now, I think I'm going to go make myself a smoothie.

My little blender does pretty good, but oh, how I pine for a VitaMix...
