Adolf JustAdolf Just, born on August 8, 1859, in L thorst near Dassel, Kingdom of Hanover, was a German naturopath and a key figure in the natural health movement. Initially trained as a bookseller, Just became a lay practitioner after turning to self-study innatural remedies when he fell ill. His journey into naturopathy led him to advocate a return to nature, which included living off natural foods, clean water, fresh air, and using earth-based treatments like clay. He founded the Naturopathic Institute Jungborn in 1895 in Eckertal, and his clinic attracted prominent individuals, including Franz Kafka. Just believed that humanity had fallen out of harmony with nature and that by observing and living like animals, humans could regain salvation and a healthy body. He rejected modern medicine, vaccines, and industrial practices such as the use of chemicals in agriculture. His beliefs extended to vegetarianism, fasting, and rejecting the use of drugs, homeopathy, and artificial gym practices. Just s work, particularly "Return to Nature," had international influence, even inspiring the establishment of a natural medicine hospital in India. He died on January 20, 1936, in Blankenburg, Germany. Read More Read Less
