How we research, write and verify
Vivid Remedy is a health research aggregator. We compile, verify and explain published scientific research so that non-specialists can understand it — and check it for themselves.
What we are
We are researchers and compilers, not clinicians. We do not diagnose, treat or prescribe, and we do not claim clinical expertise we do not have.
Our work is reading primary literature carefully, representing it accurately, and translating it into language a general reader can act on. Where the underlying science is uncertain or contested, we say so plainly rather than choosing the more confident-sounding answer.
Where our information comes from
Every article is built from primary and secondary sources of established standing:
- Peer-reviewed journal articles and systematic reviews
- Publications from recognised health authorities, including the World Health Organization (WHO), the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), and national dietary and nutrition bodies
- Established reference works in nutrition science and pharmacology
We do not build articles from other blogs, content aggregators, or commercial marketing material.
Every article lists its references. You will find the full source list at the end of each piece. We publish them so that you never have to take our word for a claim — you can read the original and judge it yourself.
How an article is made
- Research. We gather the available literature on the question, including findings that complicate or contradict the popular view.
- Compilation. We draft the article strictly from those gathered sources. Claims that cannot be traced to a source are removed or clearly marked as general observation.
- Verification. Each claim is checked back against its source to confirm it is represented accurately and not overstated.
- Review. Before publication, each piece is checked for accuracy, overstated claims, and language that could be mistaken for medical advice.
- Revision. When the evidence changes, the article changes, and the revision is noted.
Why we publish under a team name
Our articles are compiled from published research rather than from personal clinical experience. We believe the sources should carry the authority, not a byline.
So instead of asking you to trust a name, we cite our evidence visibly in every article and invite you to verify it independently. That is a deliberate editorial position, and it is why our reference lists are long and specific.
What we will not do
- We do not invent studies, statistics, authors or citations.
- We do not claim that any food, herb or supplement cures, treats or diagnoses disease.
- We do not publish scare content or miracle claims — the two most common failures in health writing.
- We do not let commercial interest determine editorial conclusions.
Corrections
If you find an error, a source we have represented inaccurately, or a claim that has been superseded by newer evidence, please tell us through our contact page. Corrections are made promptly and noted on the article.
Important: research is not personal medical advice. If you have a health condition, take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are considering a significant change to your diet, please consult a qualified healthcare professional. Our articles are written to help you understand the evidence — not to replace the person who knows your medical history.
