I am greatly enjoying your newest book Quantum eating! Great info here! I am inspired to take y health to the next overdue phase! Withought even realizing it, I have been training my body not to eat till noon, then I become too hungry late at night. I am going to do some experimenting with jucing until noon, eating a solid meal by 4, then resting till the next day. This sounds great and very doing! -M.

Hi Tonya,
You are so inspirational. I can not get enough of your products. I bought the rolling bed of pins yesterday and today I just purchased the Violet Ray professional. I plan on using it on myself, my husband and my friends as well. I already have your cream and mask and I totally love them!!! And I am reading Quantum Eating, a book that is leaving such a deep impact on me already and I have read only 30 pages. Thank you for the amazing products you have created. I can feel the love you developed them with. - S.T.

Tonya Hi,
First of all I want to tell you that I love you, and I love everything you do to help people...... thank you.... you were my inspiration. After reading your first book Your Right to Be Beautiful about 2.5 years ago, it was like a click in me... Before that I read Paul Bragg, Norman Walker, Arnold Ehret, Shelton, Carrington, T.C. Fry, and before that even more so called "health" books... I was juicing, eating a lot of greens and fruits... but none of them inspired me to go raw..... even though I read them again from time to time...... Lena

To give you some consumer feedback from the other side of the world - your book was full of really fascinating information - I have already made changes to my daily meal schedule, but still have green & fruit smoothies in the evening as I work until 8pm (I was having them for lunch and a big salad most evenings, so I've just done a swap). It was wonderful to learn that not wanting 3 meals a day for most of my life is actually a good thing, as I've heard so many times that I shouldn't skip breakfast - but I don't get hungry until lunchtime! It will take time to get over that and make my first meal earlier, especially as I work until lunchtime most days.
The most frustrating aspect is the vast number of people who resist any change in their diet and do not want to believe that everything they learned from parents about eating when they were a child is not actually correct and think that I am just susceptible to propaganda. I still eat occasional cooked food though and usually a bit of fish with my salads, but I look at least 10 years younger than my age (55) and have the figure of a young woman (after having 5 children) so the proof is right in front of them.

Wow! I just learned of your website. When I can, I want to buy your book 100 Days . . . I have fibromyalgia and I am sure this diet will be of great benefit to me. I haven't gone totally raw before because I thought all it consisted of was salads. It's exciting to see that you do have interesting recipes. I was raised vegetarian and have been vegan for 15 years, so that's not a problem.
The person who told me about your website, also told me that you have read some of the writings on health by Ellen White. I am a Seventh-day Adventist and thought I'd send along something that I just recently read. You may have already read it, but it was new to me and very fascinating in light of all the truth you have to share as well.
"Let them preserve the health and increase the strength by avoiding large amounts of cooking which has filled the world with chronic invalids. We are coming to the time when recipès for cooking will not be needed, for God's people will learn that the food God gave to Adam in the sinless state is the best for keeping the body in a sinless state." (MS vol. 21, p. 286, Jan. 22, 1901.)
Thank you so much for a great website! I look forward to buying your books as soon as possible. L. L.

Dear Tonya,
I was at Life Grocery tonight for your lecture. ...I've heard other raw foodist speakers there over the past few years and I wanted to say that you were delightful and very informative. I'm very glad that I happened to see your flyer while I was there last week and again today. In fact, I cancelled a dinner date with my good friend so that I could come and hear you.
Although I have been about 90% raw for as long as six months at a time, going raw has been a real challenge for me. On top of middle age issues (I'm extremely jealous that you've never had a hot flash - I started getting mine at age 42. Incidentally, wheatgrass juice completely eliminates my hot flashes - it also makes all of my skin as soft as a baby's bottom.), I have several health issues (food allergies, depression, candida) that I'm convinced would be addressed, if not completely cured, by going 100% raw. But it's difficult. I love bread and butter. And hamburgers. Maybe a support group would be helpful <grin>. You spoke tonight about psychological issues. You are very right about that. If I can manage to stay raw for more than a week, I have absolutely no cravings. I suppose this has to do with being completely nourished. In any case, I wanted to thank and congratulate you for your talk. I enjoyed it very much. B

Dear Tonya: I watched your youtube video tonight and showed it to my mother. We both agree that you are lovely and have flawless skin. In fact, I met you at Mt. Shasta with my niece and told my mother that I knew that your skin was flawless because I had seen you close up and in the sunlight. I find your appearance inspiring. And I have all of your books and have read them and do some of your beauty practices. L.V.

Tonya and Nick,
It was absolutly wonderful to meet the both of you yesterday evening. I wish my husband had been there to hear all the wonderful things Tonya had to say. He is traveling at the moment and when he gets back home I will put the DVD on for him to view.
I bought the big bag with all the Treasures. I can't wait to read the books and try the cream, mask and the skin rejuvenator.
Had I know this was Tonya's last seminar I would have called several people. Before the flyers at Life I had not heard of you and now I feel where have you been hiding or I guess the question is what have I been missing. Please keep me informed of your seminars and lectures. Again, I truly enjoyed the information. D.

Hi Tonya!
Your lecture was great this Saturday in Pensacola, FL ! 2 hours flew by so fast! ..I bought your "Your Right to be Beautiful" & "Beautiful on Raw" & am excited about eating more raw & being an example of how raw can be the way to health & beauty! I attended your lecture last year & have improved my diet by eating more raw, but I think now I'm ready to do much more. ... You are quite motivating & glad you have made Pensacola one of your tour stops. Thanks so much & look forward to seeing you here again! -C. D.

Hi Tonya,
I would like to thank you for your book Quantum Eating. It is making my life easier and wonderful!! I just did a 24 hour dry fast and it cured my ear inflammation. Just amazing!!! It was the first time that I heard about dry fasting. I'm doing everything that you said: green juices in the morning, huge salad with seaweed for lunch, and green smoothie at the end. At 2 pm I do not eat anything else, and I am getting off of too much water too. It's been good and I feel very healthy.
I also use your face cream with the brush in the morning and brush my body before taking a bath. The skin rejuvenator is doing wonders for my face and hair. I have new hair growing now !! Thank you so much for all the wonderful information in all of your books. I have your DVD too and I watch it many times. -L. B.

Hi Tonya,
Thank you for your wonderful presentation on Thursday evening, Feb. 21, in Tallahassee, Florida. Last year I also attended your presentation here, (in nearby Havana) and really enjoyed your intelligent, well-researched and entertaining style. I teach Yoga, Living Foods and am a Raw Foods chef. I could with full confidence tell clients and students about your workshop, knowing they would have fun, and that they would gain new information and inspiration to embark or continue on their road to health. Many of them braved the heavy rain on Thursday to see you!
I am 57. Have been about 80% raw for over 10 years, but have been 100% raw for 2 years, and that has made so much difference. I can tell my body is going deeper and deeper to cleanse and rebuild, and it is so exciting to see this.
Last year when you came, I bought "Beautiful on Raw", and the luscious face cream! This year I got the face cream again-it is really sumptuous, and my skin drinks it up!
Although I receive your newsletter, I waited to get "Quantum Eating" as I knew you were coming here, and I also purchased "Your Right to be Beautiful" on Thursday. I would be most grateful if you would send me the download information for your ebook, 100 days to raw.
Your husband Nick looks so healthy and vital this year, and you look beautiful as ever.
Thank you for writing well-researched books that are inspiring and educational, and thank you for forcefully challenging the current view of ageing as a depressing descent into ugliness, degenerative illness, and decline. Your optimistic perspective invites us to see our ageing as a continuing adventure in health, growth and reaching our full potential, along with legitimizing our desire to be beautiful to ourselves and others! All the best, N.

Thank you for changing my life nutrition, health and increasing my knowledge about eating and body function. I had been looking for something to give me optimum health to carry me through my later years. I came across your web site by typing the word “beautiful” into 'google' and you came up. I was looking for an easy way to stay beautiful and healthy as I head into my older years and you have answered all my questions.
I am now 53 years young and loving life with loads of energy and a positive mindset. I have your inspiring, amazing Quantum Eating book and have relished each chapter. I love the way you sensibly research and discover new concepts.
I have been a tad backward in my approach to raw foods but have been mostly raw since November 07. I read Victoria Butenko's book also and agree with you both about the green smoothie and eating less and early. I effectively lost 11 kg and am at a wonderful size 8.
