A note about contact and the limits of a post

Peptides Blog gives no medical advice and sells nothing. At launch, there’s no public email address or contact form. I’d rather say that at the top than send you hunting around the footer for an inbox that isn’t there.

This page explains what contact is available now: none through the site. It also explains where the writing stops. Reading a post doesn’t open a private conversation, arrange an appointment or put anyone in charge of your care.

Medical questions belong with a clinician

For a personal health question, a licensed U.S. clinician can assess the person and the problem. Telehealth care also needs a clinician legally able to provide it where the patient is located. The blog doesn’t arrange that care or pass requests along.

A post can explain what a study found. It can’t look at a symptom, interpret your test results or decide whether a medicine fits your circumstances. Those are different jobs, however familiar the situation in an article might sound.

The same limit applies to questions about amounts, schedules or combinations. There’s no individual treatment plan available here. A detailed explanation of an experiment isn’t a set of instructions for trying it.

A disputed sentence is worth pinning down

If something here looks wrong, the useful thing to examine is the exact sentence and its source. Was the research in people? Did it test the same substance in the same way? Does the result actually support the words on the page?

I find it easier to check one small claim than a whole topic at once. Whether a trial measured sleep is something I can check. A broad impression that a compound sounds promising is harder to pin down. Keeping the question specific gives me somewhere to look in the paper.

Dates are part of that check, too. A newly published post can discuss old research. The date on an FDA page doesn’t necessarily date every event it lists. I try to keep each date attached to the thing it describes.

The references page brings the sources together. About explains my approach, and the archive lists the current posts. Those pages are available to read, but none opens a message thread or asks for health records.

For now, that’s the contact situation. There’s no public inbox to check back for a reply. Personal medical questions need someone who can assess them in a care setting.
