Medical Disclaimer

Pixelrush is an educational library, not a healthcare provider. This page explains what we do and do not publish, how each guide is produced, and the point at which you should stop reading and speak to a professional.

Effective September 21, 2026

What this disclaimer covers

Pixelrush publishes a general-interest library about stress, rest, and everyday recovery practices. It is written for curious adults who want to understand what the evidence does and does not support. This disclaimer explains the limits of that information and the editorial rules we hold ourselves to. It applies to every page on pixelrush.top.

Reading this site does not make you our patient, and it does not make us your clinician.
This disclaimer applies alongside our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and User Agreement.
If any part of this disclaimer conflicts with the law that protects you where you live, that protection prevails.

We are not your healthcare provider

Pixelrush provides general information only. We are not a medical provider, clinic, hospital, pharmacy, or emergency service, and we do not offer clinical services of any kind.

Content does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition, and it is not a substitute for examination, individualised advice, or professional treatment.
We cannot review your history, medicines, test results, imaging, or symptoms, and we will not do so by email.
No statement on this site should be read as a recommendation to start, stop, or change any treatment.

What we will not publish

Our editorial rules exist to keep the library honest and to avoid the kinds of health claims that harm readers. The following are firm boundaries, not preferences.

We do not claim that a practice cures, reverses, or prevents a specific disease unless a recognised clinical guideline or an equivalent regulatory source supports that exact wording.
We do not present unproven devices, supplements, or techniques as established treatment, and we do not describe a plausible mechanism as if it were a demonstrated outcome.
We do not publish content that contradicts authoritative scientific consensus on a public health matter, including anti-vaccination claims, disease-denial claims, or content promoting conversion practices.
We do not sell, promote, or link to the purchase of prescription medicines, unapproved pharmaceuticals, or supplements containing controlled or active drug ingredients.
We do not accept payment or free products in exchange for describing a product, clinic, or practitioner favourably, and we do not run paid endorsements.
We do not use a reader’s health interests to target advertising, and we do not pass health information to advertisers.

How this library is produced

So that you can judge how much weight to give a page, here is how a guide is made. We publish this because you are entitled to know how the information in front of you was produced.

Each guide is researched, written, and edited by Pixelrush. We review the published literature, choose the sources we cite, and decide the evidence label a topic receives before the page is published.
We use AI-assisted tools to help draft, summarise, and copy-edit material and to check consistency across the library. A human editor remains responsible for the final wording, for the accuracy of every citation, and for the evidence label attached to each guide.
We do not use AI tools to invent citations, and we treat any citation we cannot verify against the original source as an error to be corrected or removed.
We do not publish clinical advice that has had no editorial review. If we ever publish unreviewed material, we will label it as such on the page itself.
Our editorial standard is explained further on our About page, and corrections are welcome at [email protected].

Sources, citations, and evidence labels

Guides cite primary research, systematic reviews, clinical guidelines, and product documentation so that you can check our reasoning rather than take our word for it.

Evidence labels are editorial summaries of how strong the human evidence is. They are not regulatory approvals, professional certifications, or guarantees of outcome.
A label describes a body of research, not your individual case. A practice can be well studied in general and still be unsuitable for you.
We link to primary sources where they are publicly available, and we name the source when a paper is behind a paywall.
This library has not been independently clinically peer reviewed by an external medical body. Where a topic is genuinely contested, we say so rather than resolving it for you.

Evidence has limits

Study results depend on the population studied, the method used, the dose or formulation, and the outcome measured. Those variables matter more than a headline.

A result in a laboratory, animal, or small pilot study does not establish that a consumer practice works for a person at home.
A clinical use of a substance or technique does not validate a consumer product that borrows its name.
Positive studies are published more often than negative ones, and small studies tend to overstate effects. We try to reflect that in the wording we use, and we avoid the language of certainty where it is not warranted.
Wellness claims are lightly regulated in many countries, so a product being sold is not evidence that its claims have been verified.

Practices that carry real risk

Some practices that appear in mainstream wellness writing can cause injury or death. Where a topic carries serious risk, the guide states a hard boundary, and we repeat the most important ones here.

Do not apply pressure to the carotid arteries or the front of the neck, and do not use techniques advertised to “reset” the neck manually.
Never combine breath holding, hyperventilation, or breathwork that reduces oxygen with water activities, driving, or bathing.
Cold immersion, sauna and heat exposure, electrical and magnetic devices, and supplements can cause harm, and some are contraindicated in pregnancy, heart conditions, epilepsy, or with particular medicines.
Forceful stretching or manual therapy can injure tissue, and any sharp, radiating, or neurological pain is a reason to stop immediately and seek assessment.
If a guide marks a practice as unsupported or as carrying an absolute contraindication, treat that as a boundary rather than a caution.

Individual circumstances change everything

The same practice can be reasonable for one reader and unsafe for another. General guidance cannot account for your situation.

Children and adolescents, pregnant and breastfeeding people, older adults, and people with chronic conditions or regular medication face different risks and different evidence.
Do not infer safety from words such as natural, noninvasive, gentle, or drug-free. Those words are marketing terms, not safety findings.
Bring the exact product name, dose, or device specification to a qualified clinician or pharmacist rather than a general description.
If you are unsure whether a practice is appropriate for you, the correct next step is to ask a professional, not to search for a more confident-sounding page.

When to seek professional help

Many stress-related experiences are treatable, and they are treatable sooner when they are discussed with a professional.

Seek support if you have persistent anxiety, low mood, insomnia, panic, loss of interest, substance misuse, or difficulty functioning at work, at home, or in relationships.
Seek medical assessment for symptoms that are new, worsening, or unexplained, rather than treating them as stress.
Effective help exists, and using a self-help library alongside professional care is reasonable. Replacing professional care with a self-help library is not.

Emergencies and crisis support

This website cannot help you in an emergency, and our email inbox is not monitored around the clock.

For chest pain, severe breathlessness, fainting, sudden weakness or difficulty speaking, a seizure, a serious injury, or any immediate danger, contact your local emergency number or go to the nearest emergency department.
If you are thinking about harming yourself, contact your local crisis line or emergency service now, and tell someone who can stay with you. Guide pages are not a crisis service and must not be used as one.
Do not wait for a reply from us. We cannot provide urgent support, and any message you send may not be read for several days.

Reporting an error

Accuracy matters more to us than being right in public. If something on this site is wrong, misleading, outdated, or unsafe, we want to know.

Email [email protected] with the page address, the sentence in question, and any source you think we have missed or misread.
We review correction reports and will change the wording or the evidence label where the report is sound, and we will record the correction on the page.
If a safety boundary is unclear on any page, treat that as a defect and tell us, so that the page can be improved for the next reader.

Regulatory and jurisdictional limits

Health claims are regulated differently in every country, and a statement that is permitted in one market may be restricted or prohibited in another.

Nothing on this site is a marketing authorisation, a medical device clearance, a listing on any national register, or an endorsement by any regulator, health system, or professional body.
We do not represent that a practice described here is lawful, licensed, or available where you live, and you are responsible for complying with the rules that apply to you.
Products mentioned in guides may have different formulations, ingredients, or legal status in different countries, so verify the local label before considering a purchase.

Changes to this disclaimer

We may update this disclaimer, for example to reflect a change in the law, a new safety finding, or clearer wording. The current version is always published on this page.

Material changes take effect when a new effective date appears on this page.
If you need the version that was in force when you used the site, email [email protected].
Continuing to use the site after the effective date means you accept the updated disclaimer.
