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.
