This response alone shows how deeply into the homeopathy believing rabbit hole you are. There is no point in further discussion

Will you still use homeopathy when you learn what it is?
Homeopathic medicines are everywhere. There are remedies for colds, fevers, depression, insect bites, headaches, warts, menstrual cramps, food poisoning,

To conclude, osteopathy remains deeply entrenched in pseudoscientific approaches and treatment modalities. Misleading claims that go far beyond the expertise of osteopaths are worryingly common. Put this in the same box as #chiropractic: best avoided!

Finally we have the treatment approaches. Cranial and visceral osteopathy are both made up nonsense. Claiming to "treat" the organs, presumably through visceral osteopathy, is also completely absurd.

Then there's the claimed benefits. These are essentially all false claims with no good evidence to support them. Claims about improving immune system, circulation, blood pressure are particularly concerning as these are serious issues that there is no way osteopathy could treat

Firstly, there's the pseudoscientific marketing claims like gentle, holistic, treating the root cause, natural, etc. These are meaningless but are widely used to promote many alternative therapies

This is just a small subset of the many misleading claims from osteopaths. It's worth noting that this includes misleading claims from osteopathic institutions as well as individual osteopaths. Unfortunately, belief in pseudoscience like cranial is widespread in osteopathy

Amongst the most frequent misleading claims are those relating to the treatment of babies. This often involves the nonsense that is cranial osteopathy. There is no situation in which it is appropriate to take a baby to an osteopath

A small subset of the many misleading claims made by osteopaths. For starters, some osteopaths think they can treat #autism. Yes, really: complementaryandalternative.wordpress.com/2021/10/11/u... This is ridiculous and it's appalling that osteopaths are exploiting this vulnerable patient group
UK osteopaths continue to operate far outside their expertise: they now think they can treat autism!
There are many and serious problems with the osteopathic profession in the UK. Even taking this into account, I was shocked and appalled to find that some of them now think they can treat autism. I…
