We cook vegetables at this point (2 weeks into the diet). The raw and juiced

vegetables are

not until Stage 4 (on the Pecanbread website) and juices are diluted with water.

I have to disagree here. I do know that Elaine said she *preferred* we use whole

fruits and veggies.... and that we peel and cook them and eat the whole food

(with fiber) rather than juicing in the beginning. She was uneasy about the very

concentrated form of nutrients in fresh juice.... with the fiber eliminated.

BUT, she did say that raw JUICES could come before raw whole veggies and

fruits.... because juicing removes the more indigestible cell wall. She did want

people to dilute fresh juices, yes.

However, I think that if someone were wanting to use the carrot juice and garlic

as a YEAST REMEDY, and not just as a beverage, she would not have minded this

being used for that reason...... even fairly early on. I will stand corrected

if need be, but since yeast is such an issue for so many early in the diet.....

and yeast can be so opportunistic.... I would think this would be okay, in

small quantities. I mean, I doubt very much that anyone is going to be begging

to drink great, huge tumblers full of carrot juice with garlic in it. I had

trouble getting a few tablespoons of it down Katera, using a medicine dropper.

I would start with a small amount..... dilute for sure.... and watch closely.
