The 1992 Convention continues the naturopathic tradition of investigating new frontiers to understanding the nature of biological function and disease. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore one such frontier, Somatidian Orthobiology, with its founder, French-born biologist Gaston Naessens. He will lecture on his work and present a recent video featuring his findings. Attendees will also participate in analyzing live blood with microscopes fitted with a condenser, in search of somatids, Naessens' name for the sub-cellular living and reproducing form which he considers the growth control system in cells.
