Bastyr
University
Bastyr University was established as the
John
Bastyr College of Naturopathic Medicine in 1978 in
Seattle,
Washington (
USA).
It is named for the late John Bastyr, ND, DC (1912-1995), a pioneering naturopathic
physician and chiropractic in the Seattle area who was instrumental in keeping
interest in
naturopathic
medicine alive during the dark years of the 1940s-1960s. The school was later
renamed Bastyr College and then Bastyr University in recognition of the fact that
it has many programs besides naturopathic medicine now including
acupuncture,
nutrition, exercise
science,
herbal
therapy,
counseling,
and leadership.
