Every article on this site is read and checked before it publishes. This page explains exactly what that check is, and what it is not, so you can judge how much weight to give what you read here.
What editorial review means here
Each article is reviewed by Alsen Walker, who edits this site. That review covers:
- Whether claims are supported by primary sources rather than by other websites
- Whether any figure, dose, threshold or timeframe has been stated without a source, and removing it if so
- Whether symptoms that need urgent care are clearly identified and placed high on the page
- Whether anything reads as reassurance that could delay someone seeking help
- Whether the article routes decisions back to the reader’s own prescriber rather than making them
What editorial review is not
It is not medical review by a licensed clinician. Alsen Walker is not a doctor, nurse or pharmacist, and does not present as one.
If an article carries a line naming a clinician and their credentials, a clinician has reviewed it. If it carries only editorial review, one has not. We show you which, rather than blurring the two.
Why we are explicit about this
A great deal of health content online carries a vague “medically reviewed” badge with no name attached, or a name with no verifiable credential. It reads as authority and frequently is not.
We would rather tell you plainly that this is carefully edited consumer information, and let you weigh it accordingly, than imply a clinical endorsement we do not have.
What we do not do
We do not prescribe, we do not diagnose, and we do not tell you what dose to take. Where our articles discuss dosing, they describe what product labelling says and direct you to your prescriber for anything specific to you.
Several articles deliberately contain no numbers at all for this reason, including our pages on unit conversion for compounded products and on dose equivalence between different molecules. Those gaps are intentional, and our editorial standards explain why.
Sources we work from
FDA prescribing information, published trial results, federal statute and regulation, CMS and state programme documents, and clinical guidance from professional bodies. Not other health websites.
Corrections
If something here is wrong, tell us at promozhub@gmail.com. We correct errors and note substantive corrections on the article with the date.
Clinical review, where it applies
Articles covering symptoms that may need urgent care, dosing and titration, and use in pregnancy or before surgery are the ones where clinical review matters most. Where a clinician has reviewed an article, they are named on it with their credentials and the date.
