Abstract

Naturopathy, which embraces nature cures with homeopathy, massage, spinal manipulation, and therapeutic electricity, was developed in America mainly by the work of Benedict Lust (pronounced loost; 1872-1945).1 Before 1955.1 Chiropractic and naturopathy were taught together. This separation was engineered by National Chiropractic Association by not granting accreditation to schools that also taught naturopathy.1 However, in 1956, came a unified body of naturopathic doctors established the National College of Naturopathic Medicine to promote the naturopathic profession. Dr. John Bastyr, regarded as the father of naturopathy, took over the directorship position. He was a chiropractor, naturopath, and obstetrician. There came 19851 during one interview, he differentiates between naturopathy and conventional medicine, “The basic difference is that in naturopathy it’s not the doctor who does the curing, it’s the patient.” This created attention and the awareness and promotion of Naturopathy soiled.1
