Nothing on this site, including the course, consults, emails, downloadable materials, and community discussion, constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. No practitioner-patient relationship is created by using this site, purchasing a product, or speaking with me on a call.

Consults are educational. During a consult I will not diagnose a condition, prescribe or adjust medication, order or formally interpret diagnostic tests, or tell you to stop a treatment your physician has recommended.

Autoimmune conditions are heterogeneous and individual responses vary widely. My own case reached clinical remission; that is a personal outcome and not a representation of typical results or a prediction about yours. No outcome is promised or implied.

Always consult a qualified physician before changing your diet, exercise, supplements, or medication, and particularly before acting on anything you read here. Never disregard or delay professional medical advice because of something on this site.

If you think you may have a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room immediately.
