A member asked:
Is it likely for osteopathy to help cancer patients?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely not.: Early osteopaths from around the time of that profession's founding in the late 1800s purportedly advertised themselves as being able to cure cancer just by osteopathic manipulations. There is absolutely no evidence to support this and you should really consult with a board-certified oncologist to discuss a proper treatment plan. Anyone who tells you otherwise does not have your interests in mind.
