Editorial promise
We put immediate safety first, separate evidence from interpretation, avoid diagnosing people we have not assessed, identify listings and make it possible to trace material claims to sources.
Source hierarchy
For health and treatment claims, we prefer clinical guidelines, government and public-health agencies, systematic reviews, peer-reviewed research and recognized professional bodies. Provider-specific facts are taken from official provider pages, regulators and registries. Marketing language, testimonials and awards may describe positioning but are not treated as proof of clinical outcomes.
Answer-first structure
Pages begin with a direct answer and the most important limitation or safety warning. Headings use questions and entities people actually search for. Definitions are explicit, and related concepts are linked so readers and machine systems can understand context.
Medical accuracy and uncertainty
We avoid universal instructions where risk varies by substance or person. We state uncertainty, distinguish association from causation, and do not turn population evidence into a personal diagnosis. High-risk topics receive prominent emergency guidance.
Language and stigma
We use person-first, nonjudgmental language except when quoting or explaining common search terms. We do not equate addiction with moral failure, criminality, homelessness or a particular appearance.
Named people and public reports
We do not diagnose public figures from media reports. Legacy celebrity profiles are excluded from indexing while they are re-evaluated. Any future profile must rely on the person’s own public statements or high-quality, directly attributable sources and must avoid speculation.
Updates and corrections
Review dates reflect the version checked. A minor style edit does not justify resetting a medical review date. Substantive corrections should update the page, source list and date. Readers can report errors through the contact page.
Artificial intelligence
Automated tools may support outlining, consistency checks or structured data, but publication requires human editorial responsibility. Source links must be opened and verified; invented citations, fabricated statistics and unsupported clinical claims are prohibited.
Provider coverage and verification
Provider comparisons use the published review methodology, distinguish provider-supplied facts from editorial interpretation, and state material limitations. Inclusion or first position does not establish universal clinical suitability or guarantee outcomes.
