DeanSilverMD.com is committed to providing accurate, well-researched, and responsibly presented health information. This page explains how our content is created, reviewed, and maintained — and what standards we hold ourselves to as a YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) website.
Our Mission
Our goal is to provide patients, caregivers, and health-conscious readers with educational content about integrative medicine, chronic disease management, and evidence-informed health approaches. We believe an informed patient makes better decisions alongside their medical team. Everything we publish is designed to educate — not to replace professional medical care.
Who Creates Our Content
Content on DeanSilverMD.com is produced by health writers with expertise in integrative medicine topics, under the editorial oversight associated with Silver Institute for Integrative Medicine. Where content discusses clinical topics, we reference peer-reviewed literature, established medical guidelines, and publicly available scientific research.
Dr. Dean Silver, MD is a fellowship-trained cardiologist board-certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine and the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, with over 33 years of clinical experience in integrative and chronic disease medicine. His expertise informs the editorial direction of this website.
Editorial Independence
Our editorial content is written and published independently of our commercial relationships. Affiliate partnerships, sponsored placements, or advertising do not influence the accuracy or objectivity of health information presented on this site. Commercial content is clearly labeled and kept structurally separate from clinical or educational content.
For details on how we handle commercial relationships, see our Affiliate Disclosure.
Accuracy and Fact-Checking
We strive to ensure all health claims are:
- Supported by peer-reviewed research, established medical literature, or recognized clinical guidelines
- Attributed to credible sources, including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), PubMed, and peer-reviewed journals
- Clearly qualified where evidence is emerging, limited, or contested
- Free of absolute claims about cures, treatments, or outcomes that are not supported by evidence
We do not present anecdote or testimonial as clinical evidence. Personal stories — including Dr. Silver's own health journey — are presented as individual experiences, not as proof of efficacy for any treatment.
Supplement and Product Reviews
Product reviews on this site are written to help readers understand available options in context. Our review process includes:
- Analysis of publicly available ingredient and formulation information
- Review of relevant research on key active ingredients
- Evaluation of manufacturer claims against available evidence
- Clear disclosure when a product is featured through an affiliate relationship
We note prominently that dietary supplements have not been evaluated by the FDA and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Individual results vary. Reviews are not clinical recommendations.
Integrative and Alternative Medicine Content
This site covers integrative therapies, complementary approaches, and alternative medicine topics. We present this content with appropriate nuance:
- We distinguish between therapies with robust clinical evidence and those with emerging or limited evidence
- We do not present alternative therapies as replacements for conventional medical care unless evidence supports this framing
- We include appropriate qualifiers and recommend readers discuss all therapies with their healthcare provider
Content Updates and Corrections
Health information evolves. We review and update our content periodically to reflect new research, updated clinical guidelines, and changes in the availability of products or services discussed. When material corrections are made to existing content, we update the article and note the revision date.
If you believe any content on this site contains an error or outdated information, please contact us so we can investigate and correct it promptly.
No Physician-Patient Relationship
Content on this website does not establish a physician-patient relationship. See our Medical Disclaimer for full details.
