I also wanted to add that dairy and cold, raw foods can tax the spleen and lead to excessive "dampness" and "phlegm", which can lead to depression and lack of energy.

When I first moved to Asia I met with an American who is a Chinese doctor and kung fu expert. I asked him what common health problems Westerners faced when moving to Asia, and he said digestive complaints were common. Upon having these problems, people would take yogurt thinking the probiotics would fix things, but it ended up causing more dampness, something that was apt to happen anyway living in a hot, humid tropical climate.

While yogurt and raw fruits and veggies are considered healthy foods on one hand, they may not be appropriate for all people depending on their own energetic tendencies. The habit of drinking iced water and beverages and eating big salads is a hard one to break, but once you get used to how it can help your energy it doesn't matter so much.

I just wanted to mention this because I will probably not be on babble anymore for time time being, moving on to the next phase of recovery and job hunting.

Best of luck.
