Corrections & Amendments Policy
We strive for perfection, but we are committed to transparency when errors occur. Here is how we handle corrections:
Identifying Errors
If you discover an inaccuracy in any of our articles, please contact us immediately. We welcome constructive feedback from readers, health professionals, and experts. Errors may be factual mistakes, outdated information, or misleading claims.
Our Review Process
Upon receiving a correction request, our editorial team reviews the claim against current sources and expert opinion. We verify the error within five business days and take appropriate action. If the claim is substantiated, we make the correction promptly.
How Corrections Are Made
Minor corrections (typos, formatting) are made silently. Substantive factual corrections are marked with a "Correction Notice" at the top of the article, clearly stating what was changed and why. We also update the article's revision date. The original article is never removed—transparency is paramount.

To report a factual error, outdated information, or other editorial concern, please email us with:
- The article title and URL
- The specific claim you believe is inaccurate
- Your evidence or sources supporting the correction
- Your name and role (optional but helpful)
