diverge from traditional models. She hopes the book will foster soli-darity among women professionals by sharing the triumphs that can ensue from common challenges. However, says Dr. Liz, the soul knows no gender or profession. Therefore, the stories in the book are meant to also harness Universal Law and resonate for people in all walks of life, calling to individuals to aspire to reach their own potential, and not let any apparent limitations hold them back. Pearls of Wisdom – Pure and Powerful is a moving journey through the lives of real people who have succeeded in finding their own (in Dr. Liz’s words) “creative harmony” in their daily commitments as healers, mothers, friends and colleagues. As a package, it also embodies Dr. Liz’s mission to fulfil her own response-ability to lend her voice. It does so, however, without actually highlighting Dr. Liz herself, but in a way that draws others, including the reader, to contribute him/herself in order for the experience to be complete for us all.

Clinically, post-detox, patients typically report: a boost in energy, de-crease in pain, improved digestion, identification of food sensitivities and/or increased focus and concentration.

Morley believes a three-week detox is a great way to clean the body of toxins and allergens. Maja Markovich, a registered holistic nutritionist, com-ments on detoxifcation. “Like cleaning the dust bunnies out from under the couch, we too need to do our own internal housekeeping,” says Markovich. “If you are feeling tired, sluggish, stressed, foggy minded, head-achey, poor skin, weight issues, constipated or irritable, these can all be signs that your body is overloaded with toxins, and is in need a good deep clean.
