Terms of use

The rules for using the site and relying on its content.

These terms explain what the site provides, what it does not provide, and the boundaries around content, links, and liability.

Use boundary

The terms set the legal frame around how the site can be used and relied on.

This page is where content ownership, third-party link boundaries, and the limits of site liability are made explicit instead of implied.

No doctor-patient relationship Third-party boundary Informational use only
1
Use

Explain what readers may do with the content and where use becomes misuse.

2
Separate

Make clear that outside merchants and external resources are governed by their own policies.

3
Limit

State the liability boundary without pretending the site can replace individualized professional advice.

By using the site, you agree to use it lawfully and to understand that the content is educational and informational. It is not a substitute for professional medical, legal, or financial advice.

If you do not agree with these terms, do not use the site.

Use of content

The site is provided for informational use.

You may read, reference, and link to the content for lawful personal or editorial purposes. You may not copy the site wholesale, republish it as your own, or use the content in misleading ways.

All site design, copy, branding, and structured editorial systems remain the property of the site operator unless otherwise noted.

Medical boundary

No doctor-patient relationship is created by reading the site.

  • +The site does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease.
  • +Content may discuss supplements, protocols, and natural remedies, but that does not make the advice universally appropriate.
  • +You are responsible for reviewing decisions with a qualified clinician when symptoms, diagnoses, medications, or risk factors are involved.
Liability

Use the information at your own risk.

We aim for accuracy and clarity, but we do not warrant that every page is complete, current, error-free, or appropriate for every reader. Health information changes, and some topics carry higher uncertainty than others.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site operator is not liable for losses, injuries, or decisions resulting from reliance on site content, products, or external links.

You are reading content for education

That is the intended use. The terms matter most when someone tries to treat the site as direct individualized advice or republish it as their own.

You are following a third-party merchant link

The transaction, product availability, and merchant policies are controlled by that outside website, not by Health Secrets.

You are relying on an article for a medical decision

That is where the boundary matters most. The site can inform questions and comparisons, but it cannot replace qualified clinical judgment.
