• Osteopathic Medicine in the US is legit though, they go through basically the same training as MDs. There’s some philosophical differences but osteopathic doctors are actually doctors.

          This is true. For this reason, US doctors of osteopathic medicine generally don’t like to be called “osteopaths”, to avoid being associated with their pseudoscientist counterparts.

      In English be warned though, osteopaths (at least in America) are real doctors just from a med school that took a different path to get to more or less the same place of evidence based medicine. D.O.s are more or less indistinguishable from M.D.s
