Editorial Policy

How we research, write, and maintain the accuracy of our content.

Our Commitment

ChronicRelief.org exists to translate medical research into accessible, actionable education. Every piece of content we publish is held to the same editorial standards — whether it's a research article, condition guide, or lifestyle protocol.

Research Standards

01

Source Quality

We prioritize peer-reviewed journals, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and randomized controlled trials. We note the level of evidence for each claim and distinguish between established consensus and emerging research.

02

Citation Practice

Every article includes a full list of sources and references. We link to original studies whenever possible. Claims without adequate evidence are clearly labeled as preliminary or theoretical.

03

Review Process

Content is reviewed for scientific accuracy, clarity, and balance before publication. We consult subject matter experts when covering specialized topics or making clinical recommendations.

04

Updates & Corrections

When new evidence changes a recommendation, we update our content and note the revision date. Factual errors are corrected promptly with a correction notice. Lifestyle guides display a “Last Updated” date.

What We Don't Do

  • We do not provide medical advice, diagnoses, or treatment plans.
  • We do not accept payment for editorial coverage or favorable reviews.
  • We do not make unsupported health claims or promote miracle cures.
  • We do not sensationalize research findings or overstate statistical significance.
  • We do not allow advertising to influence our editorial content or recommendations.

Affiliate Disclosure

Some links on ChronicRelief.org are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you make a purchase through them. This comes at no additional cost to you. Affiliate relationships never influence our editorial recommendations — we only link to products and services we genuinely believe are supported by evidence.

Affiliate links are clearly marked. Our recommendation of any product or service is based solely on its evidence profile and relevance to our readers.
