Osteopaths for those of you who do not know are DOs not MDs. Despite this, they are trained medical doctors, and can be in any specialty. Osteopaths use a kind of massage in their tool kit as well as the typical pharmacological interventions, prevention, nutrition, exercise, etc.
In the event of a bird flu, this technique should be taught to see if there is any difference in mortality rates. It may prove to be an effective technique and costs nothing to try.
