How we write health information

Where the facts come from

General medical facts are taken from public health bodies and clinical guidance, mainly the World Health Organization and the US National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). Each guide and article lists its sources so you can check them yourself.

Who checks it

The health content is written and checked by Prof. Dr. Mohd. Harun-or-Rashid, the foundation’s consulting liver specialist. Where an article shows a named reviewer and dates, that review has been recorded; where it does not, the article is published by the foundation on the basis of the public sources listed.

What we will not do

• Promise that a treatment will work for everyone
• Describe a service, test or price as available unless it is
• Publish patient numbers or outcomes we cannot show evidence for
• Sell or recommend supplements, tonics or “liver cleanses”
