Osteopathy
The osteopathy article is about osteopathy outside the US, which is considered a fringe CAM. The articles related to your qualifications are Doctor of Osteopathy and Osteopathic medicine in the United States, where it is akin to a conventional medical degree. Also, please not that the term allopathic is considered insulting by many outside of the DO sphere. Your paraphrase of the history of conventional medicine is also incorrect. The current modality is the rather recent evidence based medicine, whereas the pre-Victorian Heroic medicine (which the founder of homeopathy incorrectly termed allopathy) was the conventional "modern" medicine of the day which eventually evolved into what we now know as medicine - although it was more of a scientific revolution than a gradual change.
