The short version
When you use our matching service and we introduce you to a clinic, that clinic may pay us a referral fee. That is how this site is funded. You never pay us anything.
We are telling you this on its own page, in plain language, because you should be able to weigh it.
What that fee does not buy
- It does not buy a favourable evidence rating. Our ratings come from published research.
- It does not buy editorial input. No partner sees or approves our content before publication.
- It does not change what we tell you about risk. Our knee osteoarthritis page reports that most of the measured benefit appears to be a placebo effect. That page costs us money. It stays as written.
Our conflict of interest, stated plainly
We earn more when more people pursue treatment. That is a real incentive, and it points in one direction. Our response is to publish the evidence against these treatments as prominently as the evidence for them, and to tell readers when a free clinical trial is a better option than a paid treatment. You should still read us with that incentive in mind — as you should read every site in this space, including the ones that do not disclose.
Clinic vetting
We only refer to clinics that provide: verifiable medical licensing, named physicians performing procedures, documented cell sourcing and viability testing, published protocols or trial registrations, and itemised pricing in writing. Paying a referral fee does not qualify a clinic. Failing these criteria disqualifies it regardless of what it offers to pay.
Other revenue
[If you later add display advertising, affiliate links, or sponsored content, disclose each here specifically. FTC rules require disclosure that is clear, conspicuous and close to the relevant content — not buried in a footer.]
