Osteopathy
A form of medical treatment purporting to cure a wide variety of diseases primarily by manipulation of the joints of the body.
Osteopathy is based on the assumption that disease is due chiefly to skeletal deformation and its effects on nerves, blood vessels, etc..
Osteopathy is concerned with correcting relationships among the different parts of the body's mechanical structure by manipulation and other techniques.
Founded in the 1890s by Dr. Andrew Taylor, who believed that the musculoskeletal system was central to health, Osteopathy shares many of the same goals as traditional medicine, but places greater emphasis on the relationship between the organs and the musculoskeletal system as well as on treating the whole individual rather than just the disease.

Occultopedia is the genuine article, the
original and the best internet index of the extraordinary and uncanny,
shamelessly copied by many, but never equaled. Online since 1995 at first in a free web space provider
(Tripod.com), and in 1997 finally
with its own domain name and hosting Occultopedia still is the
principal online resource for those looking for the unexplained, the
curious and the unusual. |

not in reality a commercial one. All of the commercial links are from affiliate

bandwidth that can be quite costly if you have a lot of traffic, graphics and
pages and any other expenses related to Occultopedia's upkeep, support, and maintenance.
