Corrections and citation queries

This desk keeps an editorial mailbox for one purpose: fixing what it got wrong.

The most valuable message is a specific one. A page, a sentence, and the source that contradicts it is enough to open a correction. A newly published study that changes a finding on any of the four compound pages is equally welcome, particularly a combination study — for three of these four compounds, the arrival of one would be the most significant update this site could publish.

Every correction that lands is checked against the primary source before anything is changed, and a change to a cited figure is made on the page where it appears rather than buried in an errata note.

What this desk cannot take on

Three categories of message get a courteous decline, and it is fairer to say so in advance than to leave them unanswered.

Individual clinical questions — whether a compound suits a particular person, in what amount, alongside what else. That is clinical judgement about a specific individual, and it is outside the remit of a literature digest permanently rather than temporarily.

Sourcing and supplier questions. Nothing is sold here, no vendor is assessed, and no supplier is named or ranked.

Requests to review, recommend or rank a named blend. Ranking combinations that have never been studied is exactly the thing this site was built to avoid doing.
