Do you want to become beautiful?  I always have. My heart burned when I beheld someone else's beauty. When I was born my hip joints were severely damaged - especially on the right side, making one leg much shorter than the other. Surgeries consumed my childhood. I spent endless months in a cast but ultimately nothing could be done. In competition for beauty I was at a great disadvantage.

You are such an inspiration Tonya. I am European myself, born and raised in Croatia but have lived in Australia for 33 years now. So when I read of your Russian background I can so relate….the fact that you broke away from that culinary culture gives me hope………I still have very strong emotional attachments to European food which I am trying to overcome….it’s more mental than physical though, I am a raw foodist at heart….
But among all the raw foodists I admire you the most and aspire to be like you, especially beauty wise!- C. 09/29/08
I love your QE book so much! I review parts of it almost every day and it is my companion in my Rawsome Journey. I have lost 12 lb. in the month of September since hearing you speak in Vancouver. What I value the most is that you walk your talk and secondly that the caliber of your research is very thorough and trustworthy. Your conclusions make so much sense. I did what you said, and kept an open mind, and read slowly and carefully all the way through. You are an excellent teacher and I found I did understand the concepts. But I keep reviewing because I understand more each time.
The chapter where you used the footnote about the book Flatland (p. 59) was eye-opening because it showed me that I should not give up so easily, and should try to view challenges from a higher dimension (perspective) and there would be a solution somewhere. The example of your own perseverance is highly encouraging to me.
Also, I would like to tell you that my body loves two meals a day and the dry fast each night. I have been eating my first meal between 7-8 a.m. and my second meal between 1-2 p.m. Some nights I feel more tired, but not that often. I have not had my usual September “fall allergies” this year! I have experienced that feeling of well-being (euphoria) some nights and some mornings. I feel so blessed that I can benefit by your pioneering efforts…THANK YOU! -G. 09/25/08
Hi, Tonya,
I bought your first book online and I’m loving reading it. I think it is my favorite so far or maybe it is the message I am ready to hear.
I had a revelation that I thought you might appreciate. I’ve known about and tried to employ a 100% raw foods diet for the past two years. I always begin with hope and quickly stop in fear. As I’ve tried more and more the fear has become stronger, almost like an adversion.
Every time I’ve attempted a cleanse, these old sensations surface and I antidote them with something sweet, refined, and most likely caffeinated. This of course stops the cleanse and pumps up my blood sugar and like magic, I feel great…for a short while. This time my perspective is different; I’m going to keep the path, cleanse, rest, move and breath, think positive, smile and look at these sensations as my entire life’s struggle (for lack of a better word) rising up, envelope myself in them, explore them, and then rejoice in letting them evaporate.
I have no idea how long it will last but by simply changing my vantage point, my experience this go around is already different. I can relate to the painful structural challenges you have experienced. My diagnosis, although different, has had a similar emotional expense along the way…But, like you, my struggle has given me a very deep strength and appreciation for health.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom, passion, and experience with us. Imagine the good you have done. - E.

Tonya-
It was great to see you at the Sedona Festival! Seriously, I went there to feel out, to see, and to evaluate yet again the various leaders of "raw food." The whole super food/supplements/gadget industry is extremely addictive and costly and deep down I was afraid of getting caught up (further) in slick marketing, misinformation, and false hopes. What I like about you is that you ARE walking your talk and it is so obvious that it is NOT HURTING your health.
I am not up for quantum eating just yet but I have felt the tip of the iceberg of the true zing of life that draws us in. -J.

Hello Tonya,
I first learned about you from Toastmaster Magazine and have since read your three books and your 100 Days eBook and am a fan of your facial creams. I’ve also enjoyed reading your newsletter for several months and I was thrilled to meet you in Vancouver on September 1st, and to hear your most interesting talk. I had lots more questions to ask, though, but I had come with someone else and my ride was leaving, so alas, there was no more time. -G. 09/09/08
Thanks again for your talk in Vancouver. It was very inspirational, and I was delighted to see that your complexion is even so much better in person than what I could see from the photos in your books. Congratulations!
I have been enjoying your rollers, brushes and your moisturizer. One possible product development idea for the future is to develop a scent free moisturizer cream for men, since men will have to break through even more cultural programming before being willing to wear a scented moisturizer. -N.

Hi Tonya,
My partner and I really enjoyed your presentation in Vancouver, BC the other night. Don has mocked my interest in eating 'grass' over the years, but after your presentation, his comment was 'it all makes sense'. Raw food eating that is. He even asks for a raw food dish for dinner these days. You are a very good teacher Tonya as Don's been a committed meat eater for as long as I've known him. -G.

Hello Tonya,
just wanted to thank you for the wonderful lecture that you gave us here in Vancouver BC on Monday night (September 1, 2008) . I appreciated the insights and honesty in YOU and your presentation.
I have been struggling for the last 3 years to stick to the 100% raw regime. As I am discovering about myself on this "RAW" journey, I had no idea how addicted I was to cooked food. Emotions are also interesting to discover and eating out of boredom surprised me very much.
I am encouraging a few others from RawBC to form a support group and we will all venture together for the 100 days, and keep you posted of our journey on your blog. -M.M. 09/03/08
Good morning Tonya,
Thank you for sending my order so quickly... I purchased the cream and also the bed of pins roller. I've used it this morning and WOW, love how it makes my skin and scalp feel. Rolled it gently over legs
as well as I have varicose veins. Thanks for all you learn, experience, and share with us! L. T 09/02/08
Tonya,
I saw you at the Bastyr University last night, and bought all three of your books, and the DVD. Your lecture taught me a lot, and you also made it very fun and entertaining. I just loved it!
Thank you, L. G.

Many, Many Blessings, -K.

Greetings, Tonya!!!
What a pleasure meeting you and hearing you speak today!! My friend Patty Lydon introduced me to your books and way of life!!! I'm excited to use all the products and the three books I purchased today. Several months ago I read Patty's copy of Your Right to Be Beautiful and Beautiful on Raw; Uncooked Creations, which was enough to make me want my own copies. I've also been reading articles on your website. I have been interested in all of your products.
As you suggested today, I'll be checking on Bikram Yoga in Salem, but if it's not available locally I may need to use the CD option in a heated room in my house. ... It sounds like I should experience less pain as a side benefit of increasing circulation in my back -- which I can't help but be excited about! At 63 years of age, I'm very interested in anti-aging too! -S.

Thank-you! I am not currently raw but plan to be before the end of the year when I have completed my research. I must tell you that your book is poignant, concise, informative, and inspirational. And if one knew nothing of diet and food and their correlations to each other they certainly would after reading your book. It is such an eye opener! You are a profound woman and I thank-you for your tenacity, hard work, determination, and insight. -Yolanda

It was such a pleasure to meet you and hear your presentation. You are truly a beautiful and healthy person inside and that emanates from you externally. Your skin is like porcelain and you have given me much inspiration as a wonderful example of the level of health that is possible to attain.
I've been a fan of your moisturizer and mask for a while and I used my roller for the first time last night and really loved it! I appreciate the time that you've put into bringing these products to market and making them available to us.- Sally, Portland

Tonya I have seen many sites on net for raw foods but yours is the best so far. I have already gone thru all of your books and am highly impressed with them. I am already 60-70% raw for the last two years and have never felt better as compared to before. I am 42 years old , short built of 5 ft height and weighs around 45 kgs. I have been doing dry brushing and can say that it has given me excellent results. Now my rolling bed of pins is also arriving soon so I hope to gain further.-B.
