Educational Standards, Research Approach & Medical Disclaimer

At Holistic Healing LLC, we are committed to providing high-quality, evidence-informed educational content that empowers individuals to make informed decisions about their health. This page outlines our research approach, content standards, and the important limitations and disclaimers that apply to all content published on this website.


Our Educational Mission

Holistic Healing LLC is an educational platform dedicated to exploring the intersection of conventional medicine, functional medicine, and integrative health. Our mission is to make complex biomedical research accessible to a general audience — translating peer-reviewed science, clinical observations, and emerging research into practical, actionable information.

We believe that an informed patient is a better patient. Understanding the biological mechanisms underlying your health conditions, the evidence base for different therapeutic approaches, and the range of options available to you — both conventional and integrative — empowers you to have more productive conversations with your healthcare providers and make decisions aligned with your values and health goals.


Our Research Approach

Sources We Draw Upon

  • Peer-reviewed research — published studies in indexed medical and scientific journals, including RCTs, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, observational studies, and mechanistic research
  • Clinical observations — documented clinical experience from practitioners working in functional, integrative, and conventional medicine
  • Emerging research — preprint studies and early-stage research not yet completed peer review; we identify this as emerging evidence and note its preliminary nature
  • Expert frameworks — theoretical frameworks and clinical models developed by recognized researchers and clinicians cited throughout our content

Researchers We Reference

  • Thomas Seyfried, PhD (Boston College) — mitochondrial metabolic theory of cancer and chronic disease
  • Ethan Russo, MD — endocannabinoid system, clinical endocannabinoid deficiency, and cannabinoid therapeutics
  • Raphael Mechoulam, PhD — cannabinoid chemistry and endocannabinoid system discovery
  • William Makis, MD — repurposed drug research including ivermectin, fenbendazole, and mebendazole
  • Cairns, Andries, Noori, and Seyyedabadi et al. — published work on low dose naltrexone, gut-immune axis, natural anti-inflammatory compounds, and STAT3 signaling

Evidence Hierarchy & Transparency

  • Strong evidence — multiple RCTs and systematic reviews (e.g., omega-3s for CVD, LDN for Crohn’s, ketogenic diet for epilepsy)
  • Moderate evidence — clinical trials with limitations, observational studies, or consistent preclinical evidence with emerging clinical support
  • Emerging/preliminary evidence — preclinical studies, case reports, or mechanistic rationale without robust clinical trial data
  • Theoretical/mechanistic — biologically plausible approaches based on mechanistic understanding without direct clinical evidence

We do not present emerging or preliminary evidence as established fact. Where evidence is limited, we say so.
