Authoritative sources first
Factual medical content prioritizes U.S. government agencies, professional medical organizations, and specialty societies. Important pages list the sources used.
EDITORIAL STANDARDS
Trust requires visible boundaries.
ArthritisFighters.com is an independent educational and organizational platform. These rules control how health information, lived experience, tools, sources, and corrections are handled.
No invisible reviewer
The site does not claim “medically reviewed” unless a licensed clinician actually reviews the page and approves attribution. Launch pages state that clinical review has not occurred.
Lived experience is labeled
Michael Jannicelli’s knee-replacement experience may explain why preparation matters. It is not professional advice, proof of an outcome, or a universal recovery timeline.
Tools organize; they do not evaluate
Browser tools create question lists, impact summaries, and checklists. They do not diagnose, score severity, calculate urgency, or recommend treatment.
Corrections are welcomed
Email mj@1111brands.com with the page title, URL, and concern. Do not include medical records or sensitive personal information.
Dates mean source alignment—not clinical approval
“Updated” means the page was checked against the listed sources on that date. It does not mean a clinician reviewed the page.
