Editorial principles

This page explains how content is written, checked, corrected, and kept independent from promotion.

  • Neutral tone and wording
  • Evidence-based information only
  • No marketing language or exaggerated claims
  • No comparative ratings or ordinal systems
  • Citation and source transparency

Independence and conflicts of interest

This site does not accept paid placements, sponsored content, or advertising that would shape what gets published. Provider listings are documentation records, not endorsements.

  • No paid provider placements
  • No affiliate marketing
  • No sponsored content
  • No preferential treatment based on payment

When a listed provider has an advisory or contributor relationship with this project, that relationship is disclosed on the provider profile. Advisory relationships do not change how a profile is collected, reviewed, or displayed: every record passes the same intake and review process.

Content standards

Published content must help readers verify facts, compare documentation, and understand limits or uncertainty.

  • Factual claims must be cited
  • Medical statements must reference established guidelines or literature
  • Provider information must be verified through Level A or Level B sources
  • Timestamps required for all verifiable facts
  • Review dates updated when material changes are published

Medical disclaimer

This site is for information only. Readers should use qualified medical professionals for diagnosis, treatment, and personal medical guidance.

Corrections and feedback

If you find a factual error or have documentation that conflicts with a published claim, email editorial@limblengtheninglibrary.org. Correction requests are reviewed against the available sources, and affected review dates are updated when a material change is published.
