Clear claims need visible evidence.

Purpose and independence

MaggotTruth translates wound-care research for the public. It is not affiliated with a clinic, university, product manufacturer, research program, or medical institution. Content is not written to sell a treatment or replace individual clinical judgment.

Source priorities

Medical claims are supported first by regulatory records, randomized trials, systematic reviews, professional guidance, and peer-reviewed research. Laboratory and animal studies may explain possible mechanisms, but they are not presented as proof of clinical benefit in people.

How uncertainty is described

MaggotTruth separates established uses from promising mechanisms. Strong evidence for debridement does not automatically prove faster complete healing, infection cure, limb salvage, or benefit for every wound. When findings conflict or studies are small, that limitation is stated near the claim.

Dates and review

Substantive medical pages display a publication date or evidence-review date. Core pages are reviewed when important new evidence or regulatory information appears, and at least annually while the project is active.

Medical review

The creator has a background in wound-care research. The site does not currently claim formal review by an independently identified licensed clinician. If qualified external review is added, the reviewer’s role, credentials, date, and conflicts will be disclosed.

Corrections

Factual errors are corrected promptly and material changes are reflected in the review date. To report a concern, email [email protected] and include the page and statement in question.

Patient stories

Personal stories are edited only with clear permission and are not treated as proof that a treatment is effective. Experiences can explain what care felt like, but they cannot establish what another person should expect.

Conflicts and funding

Financial sponsorships, free products, affiliate relationships, or other relevant conflicts will be disclosed on the affected page. MaggotTruth currently has no disclosed institutional affiliation or product sponsorship.
