You're incorrect about DOs. Harvard Medical School offers a Doctor of Osteopathy degree in their pre-med program. So does Yale University Medical School. Yale Hospital has DOs on staff.

You might not like the idea that the body's functions are all inter-related, and you might not have been taught that. But that doesn't make it untrue. I get that it makes no sense to treat headaches with a manicure, or fix a broken bone by exploring your relationship with your mom. But when it comes to general health, looking at the big picture can sometimes tell you more than checking specific lab results.
