Everything on HealSmarter, including the guides, the videos, the podcast, and the emails, is general education. It is meant to help you understand what you are reading in your own records and to ask better questions of the people who treat you.

It is not a diagnosis, a treatment plan, or a prescription, and it does not tell you what to take or what to stop.

Reading this site, buying a guide, or writing to me does not create a doctor and patient relationship, and it does not create any other clinical relationship. Julie Stevens is not a physician. Dr. Chad Levitt reviewed the guide for accuracy; he is not your treating physician.

Bring anything you read here to the people who know your history before you act on it. That includes tests you want to ask about, changes to what you eat, supplements, exercise, and anything that touches your treatment. Medicine and natural healing work best together, with your team in the loop.

Any story shared on this site, including Julie's own timeline, is one person's experience. Every diagnosis and every body is different, and nothing here promises a particular outcome.

The guide was reviewed by a practicing oncologist for accuracy at the time it was published. Research moves, and a reviewed document is still a general one. It cannot account for your own history, your medications, or how the disease is behaving in your body.

If you think you are having a medical emergency, call your local emergency number or go to the nearest emergency department. Do not wait on an answer from this site or from an email.

Write to info@healsmarter.com with questions about this page. Individual medical questions cannot be answered by email.
