Dear reader,
At GoMedica, every guide is the result of a rigorous multi-step process, detailed below.
This transparency about our method is the foundation of the trust we wish to build with you.
Who Writes for GoMedica?
Me, Marie. Founder and lead writer of GoMedica.
This site is the result of over 20 years of research and analysis into natural wellness traditions.
My approach involves testing, analyzing, and explaining home remedies and plant uses with the greatest possible rigor.
My work is to compile, analyze, and share knowledge about traditional practices to give you tools for personal exploration, always within an informed and cautious framework.
Our Guide Creation Process
Step 1: Documented Research (What We Verify)
This phase aims to establish the historical, cultural, and practical context of each remedy or tradition discussed.
- Consultation of scientific studies on PubMed or Google Scholar
- Review of reference books on traditional herbalism
- Collection of historical testimonies on plant usage
- Our sources (ethnobotany books, archives of folk traditions) are noted and can be provided upon request
Step 2: Analysis & Personal Testing (What We Test)
- Personal testing of certain approaches (only when safe and relevant)
- Sharing of these insights clearly identified as personal experience
- Ongoing exchange with our community of readers over the years
Step 3: Writing (How We Present)
- Clear distinction between scientific fact, documented tradition, and personal experience
- Use of precise yet non-prescriptive language
- Systematic reminder to consult a healthcare professional
Our Limits and Your Responsibility
What GoMedica Does NOT Do (and Will NEVER Do)
- We do not diagnose – If you have a symptom, consult a doctor.
- We do not prescribe – We never say "take this for that".
- We do not treat – We share documented information, not treatments.
- We do not promise results – Every body reacts differently.
- We do not replace your doctor – Never, under any circumstances.
