What we do
- Synthesis + citation. We read authoritative sources and explain the takeaways in our own words, with a dated citation and a link to the original author or study.
- Public-domain government data, attributed. Material from U.S. federal agencies (FDA, NIH / MedlinePlus, CDC, CMS, ClinicalTrials.gov) is public domain. Where we reproduce it, we attribute it and link to the source.
- Short quotes (fair use). A brief, quoted phrase from a named expert or study, inside our own analysis, with attribution and a link.
- Outbound links to authority. Our “Further reading” and “Official sources” blocks send you straight to the primary references.
- Our-own-words research summaries.Our “What the research says” sections restate pivotal-trial results (trial, participants, duration, outcome) and link to the peer-reviewed literature.
What we never do
- Republish an article, test, or quiz verbatim — even with a credit line or a link.
- “Spin” or lightly re-word someone else's content to pass it off as ours.
- Reproduce copyrighted or paywalled material without permission.
- Invent authors, reviewers, quotes, ratings, or study results.
Primary sources we rely on
U.S. FDA (prescribing information via DailyMed), NIH / MedlinePlus, ClinicalTrials.gov, CMS, KFF, and peer-reviewed journals (e.g. NEJM, JAMA) indexed on PubMed. Pricing reflects manufacturer and provider disclosures, dated and re-checked.
