Editorial Standards
The standards every Healing Secrets article is held to, from sourcing to corrections.
Last updated: November 3, 2026
Our purpose
Healing Secrets exists to help readers understand health research accurately. Our perspective is rooted in functional, alternative, and orthomolecular medicine, and we cover conventional and emerging approaches as well. Across all of them, that means explaining what studies actually found, who they were done in, and how confident we can be in the results. We would rather tell you that the evidence is weak than overstate it.
Personal experience, including the experience of our founder, is valuable and we share it. When we do, we present it clearly as personal experience, not as scientific proof that an approach will work for everyone.
Sourcing
- We rely primarily on primary and authoritative sources: peer-reviewed research, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, clinical trial registries such as ClinicalTrials.gov, and public health and regulatory bodies such as the FDA, CDC, WHO, and WADA.
- Every factual health claim in an article should be supported by a cited source that readers can check.
- We do not use fabricated, placeholder, or unverifiable citations. References are checked against PubMed, the publisher, or the issuing agency before publication.
- We do not treat press releases, marketing material, testimonials, or social media as evidence of effectiveness.
Describing evidence honestly
- We state clearly whether findings come from cell (in vitro), animal, or human studies, and we don't present animal results as proof of human benefit.
- We note sample sizes, study design, funding, and conflicts of interest when they matter to interpretation.
- Each article includes an evidence level label and a plain-language bottom line. See our research methodology for how we assess evidence.
- We include known risks, unknowns, and current regulatory status.
What we don't publish
- Dosing protocols, injection instructions, or sourcing advice for unapproved substances.
- Claims that a product or substance cures, treats, or prevents a disease unless that is established by high-quality evidence and regulatory approval.
- Fake reviews, testimonials, or endorsements, or invented credentials.
Independence and disclosures
Editorial decisions are made independently of any commercial relationship. Healing Secrets does not currently accept payment for articles. If we introduce sponsorships, advertising, or affiliate links, we will label them clearly where they appear and update this page. Healing Secrets books and educational products, when available, will be identified as our own.
Review and updates
Research changes. Articles show their publication date and, when meaningfully revised, an updated date. We review articles on fast-moving topics such as regulatory status and clinical trials periodically and update them when new evidence or official decisions are published.
Corrections
If we get something wrong, we fix it. Readers can report possible errors toconnect@healingsecrets.com. Please include the article, the passage, and a supporting source. Substantive corrections are noted in the article.
