How verification works

Every page in this library goes through the same checks, in the same order. A page that has not finished them says so at the top, with the "Draft, not yet verified" pill.

1. Every rule we state quotes its source, word for word

When a page says what Canadian law or Health Canada says, it quotes the words of the source itself: the Food and Drugs Act and its Regulations on Justice Laws, Health Canada's guidance, and its public notices. Each quotation names its source and the day it was copied, and the page lists every source with its link in the Sources panel at the bottom.

Here is what that looks like on a page:

Health Canada continues to identify products marketed as “For Research Use Only – Not for Human Consumption.” This type of labelling does not make these products legal or exempt from regulatory requirements.

Health Canada public advisory, 9 April 2026, retrieved 4 October 2026.

We do not paraphrase a rule and present it as the rule. Where we explain a rule in plain words, the source's own words sit right above.

2. A script checks every quotation against the source register

We keep one register of primary sources: every line a page may quote, copied from the source with its address and the date it was copied. Before a page can ship, a script reads every quotation on it and looks for each one, character for character, in that register. If a quotation is not found, the checks fail and the page does not go out.

The rule behind the script is simple: a quotation that cannot be found verbatim in the source is not a quotation. A rule we cannot quote is left out.

3. A second, adversarial read

After a page is written, it is read again by someone looking for trouble: a sentence that says more than its source, a word that could read as a health claim, a number with no test behind it, a line that could be taken as instructions. Anything found is fixed or cut before the page moves on. The same read checks the words we never use, and a second script scans every page for them.

4. Only the founder marks a page verified

No writer, editor or script can mark a page verified. Only the founder does, after reading the page against its sources, and the page then shows the date it was verified. Until then, a page carries the "Draft, not yet verified" pill and appears only on the demo site, never on the public library.

5. A daily watch on Health Canada's notices

Each morning, a watch reads Health Canada's public feeds of recalls, safety alerts and news, and keeps any item that mentions peptides. A new item opens a draft for a person to review. It never changes a page on its own: if a notice changes what a page should say, the page is rewritten, checked again from step 1, and its review date moves only when its sources have been re-checked.

6. The three lines on every page

These three lines are in the footer of every page on this site, word for word, and no page may say anything that contradicts them:

1. Information, not medical or legal advice. Talk to your doctor before you take anything.
2. No health or treatment claims in our own words: every fact quotes its source.
3. Nothing is sold here. The library and the tools are free.
