Corrections Policy

Healthopathy should correct material errors promptly when identified. A material error is any issue that could change a reader's understanding of evidence, safety, risk, care-seeking, product claims, or editorial transparency.

• Incorrect fact, number, definition, source interpretation, or medical-risk statement.
• Outdated guidance, changed official recommendations, or updated product safety information.
• Broken source link, missing citation, weak source, or source that does not support the claim.
• Wording that could cause unsafe self-treatment, delayed care, shame, or unrealistic expectations.
• Missing disclosure, affiliate relationship, conflict, reviewer limitation, or review-status problem.

Send corrections to hello@healthopathy.comwith the subject line "Editorial correction." Include the page URL, the sentence or section in question, what you believe is wrong, and a source if you have one.

Do not send private medical details, lab reports, intimate personal details, passwords, payment information, or urgent symptoms. Use qualified local care for personal medical concerns.

Minor fixes such as typo repair, formatting, broken links, or clearer wording may be updated without a public note. Material corrections should be reviewed against the source, corrected in the article, and reflected in the page's last updated date when appropriate.

High-risk health pages may need editorial review, medical review, or temporary noindex status while a correction is evaluated.

If a page is too thin, outdated, risky, product-heavy, unsupported, or misaligned with Healthopathy's current scope, it should be rewritten, noindexed, redirected, or retired instead of patched superficially.

Corrections are connected to the editorial policy, evidence standard, and medical disclaimer.
