About Us
MedShadow is an independent nonprofit health news journalism site focused on the side effects of medicines and lower risk alternative health options. We protect your life and the lives of your family by making sure you have the information you need to make informed decisions about the risks, benefits, and alternatives to medicines.
As a nonprofit that encourages you to think for yourself, tells you not to believe everything you read online, and to do your own diligent research, it’s a fair question to ask: why should I trust MedShadow?
From articles to podcasts, social media and infographics MedShadow content goes through a rigorous process of review, from link and source re-checks, to proofreading, fact-checking, and editing for clarity. A multi-step routine also allows many eyes from different and unique perspectives to edit our pieces before they come to you, the reader.
Perhaps you’ve heard the phrase the “golden rule,” in that he who has the gold, makes the rules. Nearly every health site and patient advocacy group gets a big chunk of its funding from pharmaceutical companies. That means that many health sites must tread lightly, lest they upset their funders – including those pharmaceutical companies.
When deciding if I trust my sources, I personally review who has their back. How are they funded? Who is greasing their palms? How do they go about getting the job done, delivering their message?
MedShadow Foundation does not take money from pharmaceutical companies or medical device manufacturers. Instead, we rely strictly on the donations of those who believe in our mission as strongly as we do.
We are an independent organization aimed wholeheartedly at informing you,empowering you with information allows you to make your own informed decisions when it comes to your medications and your healthcare.
We have no hidden agendas. We aren’t backed anyone who stands to make a profit based on your decisions. We simply aim to inform.
