Corrections and citation queries

Correspondence reaches an editorial mailbox, not a sales desk. The most useful message this site receives is a correction: a figure transcribed wrongly, a trial characterised too generously, a caution stated with more confidence than its source supports, or a bracketed number pointing somewhere it does not belong.

Corrections that name the page, the sentence and the source are acted on fastest. Where a correction stands, the page is amended and the reference list updated. Where a reading is genuinely contested rather than wrong, the dispute is stated on the page rather than quietly resolved in one direction.

Queries about why a particular trial was included, excluded or described the way it was are welcome too. The reasoning behind a page ought to survive being asked about.

Regulatory corrections are especially welcome. This desk deliberately declines to summarise any national regulator's current position, so a message pointing out that a stated approval history is out of date, or that a regulatory decision has been superseded, goes to the top of the pile.

What this desk cannot answer

Some correspondence has to be declined, and it is fairer to say so in advance than to reply with a refusal.

This desk cannot advise on whether to use a compound, in what amount, on what schedule, in what combination, or alongside what medication. It cannot interpret symptoms, laboratory results or reactions, and it cannot say whether a particular experience was caused by a peptide. Those questions need a licensed clinician with access to a medical history, which is precisely what a reading desk does not have.

It cannot recommend or evaluate a seller, a pharmacy, a clinic, a compounder or a product, in Canada or in any other country, and it does not accept submissions asking for one to be featured. Nothing on this site is for sale and nothing on it is a referral.

It also cannot give legal guidance about obtaining a substance across a national border. That is a question for a lawyer in the relevant jurisdiction.

That independence is the only reason these pages are worth reading.
