well i add veggie juice in when i get bored w/ the lemonade and break much differently than the books states (as i mentioned below). I've never had a problem going to soft fruits right away. I eat a primarily raw diet so I'd hate to see those nice veggies wasted by boiling them to oblivion.
I think I will try the kombucha next week.
I'm also thinking of stopping the senna tea ... seems a bit excessive to use it every day esp. if going longer than 10 days. I'll see how that goes.
