Editorial Standards

Sourcing

We prioritize peer-reviewed literature, regulatory guidance, and major medical institutions. When summarizing emerging research, we identify it as such and avoid overstating findings.

Medical review

Clinical review is being established. Until a named reviewer is in place, clinical pages carry a "Pending clinical review" status rather than a review badge.

When a clinical reviewer is in place, a completed review will require a named reviewer, their credentials, and the date of review, displayed on the article itself. We will not display a completed-review badge without all three.

Evidence grading

We describe evidence in plain language and note its strength: well-established, emerging, preliminary, or limited. We do not present preliminary findings as settled science.

Editorial ethics

• No paid placements presented as editorial content.
• No miracle claims, sensationalism, or pressure tactics.
• Patient stories are published with informed consent and identifying details adjusted as needed.
• Conflicts of interest are disclosed.

AI use

Where AI tools assist in research or drafting, the resulting content is reviewed by a human editor. Clinical review by a qualified clinician is a requirement we are working toward, not a step that has been completed on current pages. AI is not used to generate unsourced medical claims.

Corrections

When we make a meaningful factual error, we correct it visibly and note the correction at the bottom of the article. Substantive updates are timestamped.

What this site is not

Ketalux is not a clinic, prescriber, treatment program, or affiliate funnel. We do not provide individual medical advice. For care decisions, please work with a licensed clinician who knows your history.
