Dr. James (Jim) Sensenig devoted his life to the Naturopathic profession. He was the founder of the AANP, and the driving force behind CNME, NPLEX and so much more. His final institutional creation was the Naturopathic Medicine Institute (NMI), where, out of concern for the drift towards allopathy, he engaged and invited the profession and our students to join with the Institute and help fulfill its mission to preserve, protect, present and promote the vitalistic core of Naturopathy for the benefit of humanity.

Jim Sensenig played a pivotal role in the lives of so many of us. He “died with his boots on, “ as he might have described his passing, and modeled courage and devotion to principle for us all. His vision, keen intelligence, and coherent voice saved us in many a critical legislative hearing. Too soon he has left us, but he has left us a powerful legacy. We mourn this incredible loss, and re-commit ourselves through NMI to advancing this cause.
