''A masterly blend of the intuitive wisdom the ancients with the basic chemistry of life. The result is an enormously valuable book those interested in nutrition and fitness.''

ISBN 10: 0-9670897-3-5 and ISBN 13: 978-0967089737
Far more than a cookbook extolling the pleasures of healthy and tasty food, presenting the evidence for the consumption of all forms of traditionally produced foods, drinks and sauces and preserved fruit, nuts, vegetables, meats and milk products, whilst indicating the dangers of modern food processing, modern whole grain products and polyunsaturated fats.

Juhan, Deane. Job's Body revised edition January 2002. ISBN 10: 1581770995 and ISBN 13: 978-1581770995
A veritable Bible for body workers, providing in-depth coverage of relevant physiology to the cellular and electromagnetic level, the indissoluble interaction of the body and mind via molecules of emotion, the importance of the mental mapping of our bodies (engrams) and the fundamental importance of touch to our physical, cognitive and emotional growth and health. Read the first and last chapters of the recent edition for an overview.
Upledger, John. Your Inner Physician and You, CranioSacral Therapy and SomatoEmotional Release
ISBN 1-55643-246-1 and ISBN 13: 978-1556432460 (Upledger Institute www.upledger.co.uk tel: 01934 733611)
The focus of the book is on subtle, gentle body work and its impact on structure, function and emotion provides a valuable reinforcement for the view that 'less is more' when it comes to bodywork, at its most effective when it creates optimal conditions for the body to do its own healing. It is therefore useful for practitioners of techniques such as the Bowen Technique and Naturopathic/Osteopathic Body Adjustment.
The above is the basic text that LCNM recommends, however Michael Kern has also written a very good book, with adequate but not excessive complexity, called “Wisdom in the Body”, ISBN 0-7225-3708-5.
Hugh Milne takes us further with “The Heart of Listening” volume 1. A Visionary Approach to Craniosacral Work.

Kuchera and Kuchera. Osteopathic Considerations in Systemic Dysfunction ISBN: 1-57074-154-9
An invaluable perspective of the role of the Autonomic Nervous System and the Lymphatic System and their roles integrating structure and function and thereby indicating sources of dysfunction and disease. . To quote Pottenger, an American osteopath writing fifty years ago:
'Most of the important symptoms arising from diseases of internal viscera are reflex in nature. In order to understand these symptoms, one must study the innervation of the various viscera and the interrelationship which exist between them, also the interrelationship which exists between the viscera and the skeletal structures.)
The book provides useful chapters on possible causes of disorders of ears, nose, throat, respiratory tract, cardiovascular system, the gastrointestinal tract, the genitourinary tract, the spine and joints and on disorders associated with pregnancy and childhood.

S. Goldberg M.D. Clinical Neuroanatomy Made Ridiculously Simple
ISBN 0-940780-46-1
A brief, readable summary of clinically relevant neuroanatomy which is very helpful when trying to gain an overall perspective of the subject.

Damasio, Antonio. Looking for Spinoza. ISBN 00 994 21836. Published by Vintage.

White, Ian. Bush Flower Essences ISBN 0-905249-84-4
White, Ian. Bush Flower Healing ISBN 0-73380-053-X
Ian White is an experienced Naturopath whose powerful and effective Australian Bush Flower Essences are valuable adjuncts for identifying and dealing with the emotions underpinning and accompanying chronic and acute conditions, whether dealing with deep trauma buried in the mists of time or with the bite of an insect that you have just swatted. Particularly useful to Naturopaths, seeking to understand the causes of, and interwoven emotions within 'dis-ease' and distress, are Ian's descriptions of the qualities of the flowers and, in the second book, the Repertories for Physical and for Emotional, Mental and Spiritual Conditions.
