Jen, Heat destroys garlic's active ingredient Allicin.Roasting would destroy its healing abilityjanA naturopath friend of mine recommended that I roast garlic, and felt

that that was very effective, just thought I would throw that in here

because raw garlic is hard to eat. I am not saying I know all the

scientific aspects of this, just trying to give you all something

do-able! I spread the garlic cloves out in a pan and drip some olive

oil over top and roast in the oven until soft and browning. Then I

blend it---the consistency of butter. This can keep in the fridge for

many days and can be spread on anything. I spread it on my gluten-free

crackers and keep the vampires away! Of course many Korean recipes

include eating with whole cloves of garlic and a side of ginseng if you

are good friends, now that's the way to go!! Jen "Im not trying to counsel any of you to do anything really special,except to dare to think, and to dare to go with the truth ,and to dare to love completely." -R. Buckminster Fuller
