How did she become a Doctor? Is the one of those times where just pretended one day, got away with it and just carried on?
Seriously! How does someone with a medical degree think magnetism manifests in the human body?
She's an osteopath. Calling her a doctor is like calling myself a "Pasta Architect" because I made a lasagne.
I think you're confusing osteopathic with homeopathic or chiropractic. DOs are board certified physicians.
Apparently in the US, they required osteopaths to start studying real medicine as well at some point, but it looks like in a lot of countries, osteopathy continues to be pure bunk.
It's not. You're confusing it with chiropractors.
No, I'm not. Chiropractic is also snake oil, sure, but that doesn't make osteopathy real medicine.

Read that last paragraph. Osteopathic medicine is a distinct, real discipline and not quackery.
Osteopathy is pseudoscientific quackery.
The US has a degree that includes real medicine. That does not legitimize osteopathy.
The first paragraph says it’s pseudoscience… maybe not the best article to settle a debate, lol.
Please read up on osteopathy before saying its any different than chiropractors or homeopathics. Its the same pseudoscience mumbo-jumbo.
You should do the same. Osteopathy and osteopathic medicine are distinct disciplines. The former is quackery. DOs are the latter and are real physicians.
I am interested in this, can you point me in the direction of some information around it? It was my understanding that D.O.s are licensed and have admitting privileges, work in hospitals, etc. Which naturopaths, homeopathic practitioners and chiropractors cannot do.
