This page explains how articles on Ways to Cure are researched, written, checked and corrected.
Sources we use
We rely on primary and authoritative sources: public health agencies (WHO, CDC, NHS, NICE, FDA, EMA, and national bodies such as India’s ICMR), the US National Institutes of Health and MedlinePlus, major hospital systems such as Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic, and peer-reviewed studies. For news, we link the original announcement or study, not just a news report about it. Sources are linked in the text of every article.
How articles are written
- Each article starts from a question readers are actually asking, and is researched from the primary sources linked in the text.
- Every factual claim, number and date is checked against the linked source before publishing. If something can’t be verified, it’s left out.
- Articles give a direct answer first, explain the evidence, and include clear signs for when to see a doctor or get emergency help.
- We write for a general international audience and note where guidance differs between countries.
What we won’t do
- Promise a cure, or present home remedies as a replacement for medical treatment.
- Invent experts, quotes, reviews or personal stories.
- Present rumours or single small studies as settled fact.
Updates and corrections
Health guidance changes. We review articles when guidelines change, and we update the date when an article is meaningfully revised. If you find an error, tell us through the contact page and we’ll fix it promptly.
