After Benedict Lust’s death on September 5, 1945, American Naturopathic Association is led by Jesse Mercer Gehman, ND, Lust’s chosen successor, and later Paul Wendel, ND.

A letter by Lust just before his death calls for profession to begin including judicious minor office surgery
and pharmaceutical use based on Naturopathic principles to maintain ability to serve and position as physicians. XXX
