GLOBAL HEALTH PARTICIPATION
International Society of Naturopathic Physicians (ISNP) founded in Los Angeles, CA to “Advance the standard, promote the awareness of, and protect the status of, naturopathic medicine worldwide.” Arthur Schramm, ND, first President; other cofounding NDs: Drs. Peter N. Spelio, Harold E. Foster, Hugh R. Aitchison, W.J.M. Maxwell, Edward E. Shook, Evelyn Burkholder, Malcolm R. Mackintosh, had formed a phytotherapy research group the preceding year. The ISNP develops alliances with traditional natural medicine and built upon roots in botanical medicine to become the world’s largest naturopathic association, with members in 46 countries. As an independent organization leads coordination of associations internationally, facilitates organization within countries. Unable to bridge conflicts between ANA and NANP (National Association of Naturopathic Physicians), ISNP leaders more often collaborate with the latter. ISNP publishes Journal of Naturopathic Medicine, in several languages,
for practitioners, and Nature’s Way to Health for the lay public; both characterized by wide range of clinical topics and scientific emphasis. Mario
