Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and therapy based on the interrelationship of anatomy and physiology. It is applied to the treatement of disease as well as the prevention of disease, and is based on the fact that the body functions as one harmonious system, not as a collection of separate parts.
The body is capable of making its own remedies against disease given that it has normal movement, favorable environment, and adequate nutrition. The premise of this understanding is applied to the treatment and healing of the entire person, rather than responding only to their symptoms in a crisis-oriented, one-spot approach.
"Man can never know the truth ... he can only embody it."

"In our lives, we areconstantly bombarded with signals masquerading as knowledge ... We don't have to develop our own predictive skills in a world where experts will tell us what to do ... Experts rarely tell us we already know the answers. Just as we want their checklist, they want our check.
Our intuition fails when it is loaded with inaccurate information. Since we are the editors of what gets in and what is invested with credibility, it is important to evaluate our sources of information."
