Medical Review Policy

Last reviewed: July 26, 2026

CleanseCode covers topics that can affect health decisions. Medical review is one part of our process for making that content safer, clearer, and more reliable.

What requires medical review

We prioritize qualified review for content that discusses:

  • Symptoms, diagnoses, or medical conditions
  • Treatment or prevention claims
  • Supplements, interactions, contraindications, or dosing
  • Pregnancy, children, older adults, or medically vulnerable groups
  • Detoxification, parasite treatment, heavy-metal exposure, or testing
  • Advice that could delay or replace professional care

Who may review

The reviewer must have credentials relevant to the subject, such as a physician, pharmacist, registered dietitian, or other licensed clinician. Credentials and current professional standing are checked before the person is identified as a reviewer.

What review means

A medical reviewer checks whether:

  • Clinical claims match the cited evidence
  • Benefits, limitations, and risks are represented fairly
  • The article avoids diagnosis or individualized treatment
  • Safety language and escalation guidance are appropriate
  • Important conflicts or uncertainties are disclosed

Medical review does not create a clinician-patient relationship and does not make the article personal medical advice.

Transparency

Reviewed articles identify the reviewer and the date of review. CleanseCode will not invent reviewers, credentials, testing, or expert approval. Until a qualified reviewer has completed this process, an article will not be labeled “medically reviewed.”
