Affiliate & Paid-Listing Disclosure
How this site makes money, disclosed the FTC way and then some.
Last updated November 7, 2026. Written to satisfy the FTC’s endorsement and disclosure rules — and our own, which are stricter.
Paid directory listings
Our Doctors & Clinics and vendor directories are paid advertising. Businesses pay a flat monthly fee (founding rate $99.95/month) for visibility. Payment buys placement, never coverage: it does not change any editorial label, legal-status line, dangers page, or ranking claim anywhere on this site, and listings can be pulled for violating the listing standards in our Legal Mandate.
Affiliate links
Some links to legitimate products and services (for example, laboratory blood-testing services or professional education programs) may earn us a commission at no extra cost to you. Where an affiliate relationship exists, it is disclosed on or near the link. We hold no affiliate relationship with any seller of research chemicals or unapproved peptides, and we will not take one.
Sponsored content
If we ever publish sponsored editorial content, it will be labeled “Sponsored” in the headline area — not in fine print. As of this writing, there is none.
What money never buys here
A better label. A softer dangers page. A legal-status upgrade. A removed correction. Those are not for sale at any price, and any offer to buy them is itself a story we may publish.
