ENDORSEMENTS
I have dedicated the entire last decade of my life to the understanding of nutrition for human body, peeling back the layers of confusion that are heavily attached to the health and wellness messages provided by modern day Health Marketing. I have searched for many answers. What is the most optimal nutrient program for performance? For healing? How does one attain general wellbeing and live an abundant lifestyle here on this planet? I have read almost every known health book, new and old, from the original naturopath's to the modern raw glamour health food celebritys. I have experimented with every type of dietary program marketed today, testing them under the extreme conditions that would be experienced by an ultra endurance athlete or as part of the healing program for an ill patient. Toni Toney has definitely created and assembled the most relevant, properly delivered health message of our time. The approach to health and the relationship to the environment are very clever as well as directly relevant. Topics addressing modern day "fad" diets, specific nutrient ratios, fat, sugars, Candida, diabetes, and even cancer are extremely precise and accurate. The information is balanced and spot on! When I first met Toni, within minutes of our first conversation, it was clearly confirmed that she is a true expert in this field, one of the best in the world. I highly recommend Ecotarian Diet to anyone on a health journey, from those transitioning to a more health conscious program to the long time health advocates and raw foodist. This book does an amazing job of clarifying many known myths, and misconceptions about health and diet, as well as provided a simple to follow path to live and thrive in a more Eco-conscious way.

Ecotarian Diet is an interesting and provocative work for those who are constantly striving to find the secrets of health. This book provides us with those secrets and more importantly, provides us with a plan that will assist us in achieving it.

Now we have Ecotarian Diet , which is the next step for those of us who want to integrate these healthy concepts into our day-to-day understanding and routine.

THE ANCIENT
WISDOM OF TREES
To understand the wisdom of a tree is to understand the nature of life itself. Toni Toney
The Tree of HippocratesKos, Greece
I have had the honor of standing by one of the worlds most famous trees of all: the Tree of Hippocrates in Kos, Greece where Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, taught his students the art of healing over twenty-five centuries ago. This 500 year-old tree is said to possibly be a descendant of the original tree, which allegedly stood there 2400 years ago, in the time of Hippocrates.
It was there that I began to grasp the elemental world within and all around us. It was there that I realized that everything we see in the outer world is but a reflection of our inner world; that we also have a type of tree that exists within usa spinal column with branches that spread throughout our entire organism, a tree that links us between Heaven and Earth, a tree that is sacred and must be honored so that our days upon our sacred Earth will be healthy, happy, and long.
