About & trust

Education, not individual treatment advice.

Understanding a treatment is different from deciding whether to take it.

What this site is for

The publication explains biology, research and selected treatment evidence. It does not diagnose, prescribe, recommend personal regimens, provide emergency assessment or replace a qualified healthcare professional.

Do not change treatment based on a page

A mechanism or a trial result does not include your clinical history, other medicines or relevant risks. Decisions about starting, stopping or changing treatment need appropriate professional advice.

Research is not permission to self-experiment

Discussion of an investigational compound is not an invitation to obtain or administer it. Trial preparations, safeguards and eligibility are not interchangeable with unregulated products or unsupervised use.

When help is urgent

For urgent health concerns, seek appropriate local medical assistance rather than using this website. This publication has no monitored clinical service.

Using sources

Linked sources provide context for an explanation, but they do not make it personal medical advice.
