What does the evidence actually say?
Every Wednesday, a clinical researcher weighs one viral health claim in plain language: what the research shows, how strong it is, and what's still unknown. The short answer is at the top, so it takes a minute. Free, with no sponsors.

Who's writing this
I'm Justin Yamashita, MSc. I've worked three levels of clinical research: the bench, the site, and the CRO. Almost nobody outside the industry knows how a drug actually becomes a drug, from molecule to medicine, not because they aren't smart, but because nobody ever showed them. That gap is where fear gets sold.
None of this is abstract. Every medicine in your cabinet came through this system, and sooner or later you'll be deciding whether to start one, stop one, or trust something a stranger online swears by. For yourself, or for a parent.
Root to Rx is free and independent, with no sponsor. Also free: The Open Site File on Tuesdays, for people working in clinical research, and The Roots on Sundays, for the person who's the medical desk for their family. If it turns out to be useful, passing it to one person who needs it is how it grows.
