Medical Disclaimer
For Educational Purposes Only – Not Medical Advice
The health, medical, mental health, and wellness-related content on SlyAcademy is provided for general knowledge enhancement and educational purposes only. It is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. SlyAcademy is not a medical organization, and our authors and contributors are not acting as your healthcare providers.
Always seek the advice of a physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition or mental health concern. Do not disregard or delay seeking professional advice because of something you have read on SlyAcademy.
No Doctor-Patient Relationship: Your use of SlyAcademy does not establish any doctor-patient or therapist-client relationship between you and us. Even if a contributor or team member happens to have professional credentials, the interaction on this site does not create a personalized consultation. All users are anonymous learners to us; we cannot diagnose conditions or tailor advice through this platform.
Accuracy and Completeness: We strive to ensure that our medical and wellness content is accurate and up-to-date, drawing from reputable sources. However, medical information is constantly evolving. We make no guarantee that all information is current or applicable to your specific situation. What is said on our site may not be true, correct, precise or accurate for your particular health circumstances. Even if a statement is accurate generally, it may not apply to you or may have exceptions that are not discussed here.
Not a Substitute for Professional Care:
Diagnosis and Treatment: No content on SlyAcademy should be used to self-diagnose or to start/stop any treatment without consulting a doctor. For example, if you read about symptoms of a certain condition, you should not jump to the conclusion that you have that condition based solely on our content; similarly, if you read about a medication or supplement, do not begin using it (or change your dosage) without medical supervision.
Mental Health: If you are reading content about mental wellness (stress, anxiety, depression, etc.), note that while such content can provide coping strategies or general insights, it’s not a personalized therapy plan. If you are struggling with mental health issues, please reach out to a licensed counselor, therapist, or psychologist. In cases of immediate crisis (e.g., suicidal thoughts), seek emergency help (such as calling emergency services or a crisis hotline) – do not rely on a website.
Emergency Situations: SlyAcademy is not equipped for emergency or urgent healthcare. If you believe you or someone else is experiencing a medical emergency (for example, symptoms of a heart attack or stroke, severe allergic reaction, difficulty breathing) or a mental health crisis (such as feeling of self-harm or harm to others), call emergency services (911 in the USA or your local emergency number) immediately. Do not consult our website for emergencies – it will not provide the real-time, specific help you need.
No “Treatment” or “Cure” Claims: Any mention of treatments, remedies, exercises, or lifestyle changes on SlyAcademy is intended as general information, not an endorsement or prescription. We might discuss common treatments for educational purposes, but we do not recommend any specific treatment protocol for any person. Moreover, any statements about potential benefits of a particular diet, supplement, or activity are not evaluated by medical authorities through our site. For instance, if a wellness article mentions that certain vitamins may support immunity, this is not a medical claim that will hold true for everyone, nor an instruction for you to take those vitamins. Always discuss with a healthcare provider before making significant health-related changes.
Additionally, any content about alternative medicine or complementary therapies is provided without judgment, but also without endorsement. Many such approaches lack extensive scientific validation. Approach them with due diligence and professional guidance.
“Not Intended to Diagnose, Treat, Cure, or Prevent Any Disease”: This is a standard disclaimer (sometimes called the “Quack Miranda Warning”) often associated with health-related information or supplements. In alignment with that, we reiterate: Nothing on SlyAcademy is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. The site’s content has not been evaluated or approved by any medical regulatory body for such purposes.
Limitation of Liability: SlyAcademy and its contributors cannot be held responsible for any adverse effects or consequences resulting from the use of any suggestions, preparations, or procedures discussed on this site. You assume full responsibility for how you choose to use the information. By reading our medical or health content, you agree that SlyAcademy is not liable for any claim or loss that you or any other person may suffer in connection with using that content.
Use with Caution: If you decide to apply information from our site (say, you try an exercise mentioned in a wellness article or a study technique for stress reduction), proceed carefully. Start slow, pay attention to how you feel, and stop if you experience pain or adverse symptoms. When in doubt, consult a professional before continuing.
For Parents and Caregivers: If you’re a parent or guardian using SlyAcademy to research health topics for a minor: please consult pediatricians or appropriate specialists for matters concerning your child’s health. Children have specific needs and vulnerabilities; general info may not be suitable for them.
Editorial Independence: We do not allow our educational mission to be influenced by any pharmaceutical companies, product sponsors, or external agendas. Any health topic is written to the best of our understanding from an educational standpoint. That said, you should be aware that health information can be interpreted differently by different experts. If you find conflicting information between SlyAcademy and another source, we encourage you to seek a professional opinion to reconcile the differences.
Conclusion
In summary, SlyAcademy’s health and wellness content is to be used for learning, not for medical decision-making. Always involve qualified healthcare professionals for any health-related decisions or questions. By using our site, you acknowledge that you have read and understand this Medical Disclaimer and agree to its terms.
Stay safe, and thank you for using SlyAcademy responsibly.
