"Does anyone here know what a DO is?" -- Ditter

A D.O. is a Doctor of Osteopathy. The training for these medical professionals is practically identical to the M.D. training today although the M.D.s tend to consider themselves superior and many D.O.s chose their Osteopathic school only after being rejected for admission to Medical School.

doctor of osetopathy

can do surgery or prescribe meds as needed but prefers to lean towards more natural and less invasive treatments. Licensed to practice medicine like an md, but prefers naturopathic means to the same ends. USUALLY the same or more years in med school. Emphasis on diet, exercise and health issues.

Md's and osteopaths.... you take your chance either way...
Some MD's ARE also DO's... but usually become DO's AFTER practicing in the AMA UNION for a few years. MD's used to ridicule the use of vitamins and diet in treating and healing diseases. THAT has changed in the last 30 years.

One of these "rejects" from medical schools treated both my parents illnesses. It was only after my mother was dead & my father spent 4 weeks in the DO's own "hospital" being treated with whirpool baths for 3 ruptured discs, that I figured it out. They have their own hospitals because they are not allowed to use real hospitals. Medical doctors consider them inferior because they are inferior. Sorry if I stepped on anyones feelings but I am still angry over this quack & his promises to an old couple who deserved better.

The only problem with your statements are that ours was the only government that had the virus!!!

We have met the enemy, and he is us.

A death rate of one per 1 million vaccinations is noted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Probably more people will die in car accidents to and from the vaccination.

Those who find a DO's comments on smallpox credible should have one as their primary care physician. Think of it as evolution in action.

Military-grade smallpox is far more contagious and lethal than naturally occuring smallpox. It's like saying nuclear weapons are no threat because you can't make them with unrefined uranium.

SHOULD HAVE READ...
"...WASN'T THE ONLY COUNTRY WHO HAD THE VIRUS..."
We are not the enemy... hopefully you won't have to find that out, with a change in your lifestyle imposed by China, the Muslim, or Russian world!
