That said, I do not consider alt-med to be valid medical care. Osteopathy is not alt-med. But all this chelation, super-supplementing, IV transfusions, gong therapy (yes, it's a thing), earthing, grounding, and homeopathy - nope.
Osteopathy I consider an adjunct to Western medicine - what some people call allopathic medicine. Acupuncture/acupressure, aromatherapy, compound pharmacology, and even chiropractic for specific situations - are all adjunct, not alternative. They don't replace allopathic practice. They're used in addition to allopathic practice. They are complementary.
