FWIW.....there are many very good schools of Osteopathic Medicine here in the United States. Doctor's that graduate from these medical schools are know as DO's...I know many, many DO's that for all intents and purposes practice the same as MD's....They aren't just glorified Chiropractors.

Do these DOs have anything to do with osteopathy? (basically the Dr. that women reaching menopause see who are worried about the detioration of their bones?)
I didn't mean to denigrate them, just to draw the parallel that they use physical manipulation to realign and 'relance' (?) the vertibrae (mostly), and the cranium to bring the body back to optimal health.
(In connection with some schools of chiropractic who urge parents to use them as a PCP, and they dissuade the use of vaccinations, saying a healthy body can fight off diseases by itself.)
