Hi Tonya,
Thank you for your visit with us in San Diego. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing you speak. I love your enthusiasm and the vigor with which you tell your stories—especially the husband at the frozen food section at Costco.
I bought everything you were selling and I’m very happy with all my new toys so far.

By the way, here is a thought for busy people: I’ve been using the roller [Rolling Bed of Pins] on my head, face and neck and wearing the belt [Belt of Pins]on my abdomen every day in my car—no excuses about time.

I look forward to seeing you next year and relaying my progress to you with my quantum eating. -M. T.

Hi Tonya
It is quite some time now since my copy of Quantum Eating arrived. I couldn’t put it down till I'd read it from cover to cover and I wanted to contact you to thank you from the bottom of my heart for writing this book but somehow haven't gotten around to it because of not knowing where to start…


Without knowing why, it felt really important for me to obtain your book right from the moment of first seeing the title although the word "Quantum" at first filled me with fear and the old pattern of thinking took over making me think that it would be beyond me. I put off ordering it for a while, but the desire to read it would not go away, so although I couldn't really afford it, especially with the extra shipping costs to the UK, in went the order. How thankful I am now. Little did I know how important it would be in so many different ways. It confirmed things I had been feeling about eating - or not eating - for quite a while.


With an absolute knowing from childhood that it was wrong to kill our fellow creatures and then 40+ years of commited vegetarianism and near veganism (only eating eggs from a friend's pet hens), I knew that eating raw was now so important, and not just for health reasons. There was this strong feeling that there was so much more involved that had to do with control, freedom, etc., but I didn't really understand it and sometimes thought it must be laziness although there was this feeling that it was all somehow part of the spiritual journey I've been pursuing for some years. It wasn't just me who thought I was losing the plot! I hope this explains, albeit poorly, the importance of your wonderful book. It helped me realise not only was I not losing my marbles but that my gut feelings and intuition could be trusted and I truly am on the right track...


I had been saying how important your chapter on the "Three Empties" was and how helpful the advice about dealing with hoarding. I had been struggling to part with sacks filled with clothes which were too big for me since losing a lot of weight when I cut the fats out of my diet to overcome diabetes. So a few days after reading your book...off went lots of sacks to the animal rescue charity shop together with lots of bedding and linen etc. for the Rumanian orphanages supported by a local group…- S.

Best wishes for success in delivering your important message to others! You certainly had a profound effect upon me - I'm now 90% raw and down 15 pounds + feeling more full of energy than ever before! Wow! Eating a live, plant-based diet has benefits on so many levels - spiritually, physically, and even socially. Thanks for all you do.-Laura

Hello Tonya:
You are a dynamo!
Thank you again for your inspirational presentation on raw foods in Cobb, CA last Thursday. It was wonderful to see you in person for the first time; I first heard of you about 4 years ago and your method and story was by far the most inspirational that I read. Before that, I’d tried to live off raw juices and raw salads back in 1995 and from a photo back then, that was the best I’d ever looked. ... Seeing you in person and hearing your story live gave me that extra push I needed to really jump off and embrace this way of eating because it is a joyful choice, not an ascetic one. You are living proof of what it can do for regular people.

I’ve always wanted to feel more confident, more beautiful, more at ease in my skin as a woman. It has been a difficult journey at times, but I’ve noticed that the times when I felt closest to this state was when I was eating more raw, meditating regularly, and not striving for material success out of fear of having to live up to some standard. What I feel your books to is to affirm to women that it is OK to seek our best, most beautiful selves, and that it is not vain or conceited to do so. And another thing: the 40s are a time to celebrate and embrace your passions. ...

I’ve been reading your books all weekend and realize I’m just at the beginning and more is to come…wow! You describe this feeling in your books, so I feel by writing your confession that you have done many people a great service by providing a road map of what the journey is like with its highs and lows.

Thank you again. I wish you and Nick happy travels. My hope is that you enjoyed your visit and that maybe you’ll come back soon! -Y.M.
