Medical Disclaimer
Please read this disclaimer carefully before using iOnco. By accessing this platform you agree to the terms set out below.
iOnco is not a medical service. Content on this platform is for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making any medical decision.
1. General Medical Disclaimer
The content published on iOnco — including but not limited to cancer protocols, supplement information, herb profiles, repurposed drug information, alternative therapy descriptions, practitioner listings, AI chat responses, news articles, and any other material — is provided solely for general informational and educational purposes.
Nothing on this platform constitutes, or should be construed as, medical advice, medical diagnosis, or a recommendation for medical treatment. iOnco is not a medical organisation, and no content on this site creates a doctor-patient relationship between you and iOnco, its operators, contributors, or any listed practitioner.
You should always seek the guidance of your physician, oncologist, or other qualified healthcare professional before making any decisions related to your health, including before starting, changing, or discontinuing any medication, supplement, herb, or therapy.
2. Patient-Submitted Protocol Disclaimer
Protocols listed under "Personal Protocols" and "Submit Protocol" are individual accounts submitted by members of the public describing their personal experiences with cancer treatments. These submissions:
• Have not been clinically validated, peer-reviewed, or approved by any medical authority or regulatory body. • Represent the subjective experience of one individual, which may not apply to others with the same diagnosis. • May contain dosing information that is inappropriate, excessive, or dangerous for other individuals based on their specific health status, cancer type, stage, genetics, organ function, or concurrent medications. • Are not evidence of efficacy or safety for any treatment described. • May describe outcomes (remission, improvement, stability) that were influenced by conventional medical treatment and cannot be attributed to any specific supplement or natural therapy.
iOnco does not endorse any specific protocol, supplement combination, or treatment approach described in user-submitted content. Always consult a qualified oncologist or integrative medicine specialist before adopting any element of any listed protocol.
3. Off-Label and Repurposed Drug Disclaimer
Information about repurposed drugs on this platform describes pharmaceutical compounds that are being studied or used outside of their originally approved indications. This includes drugs approved for non-cancer conditions being investigated for cancer applications.
Off-label use of medications can be medically justified in appropriate clinical contexts, but carries significant risks including drug interactions, toxicity at incorrect doses, contraindications with other cancer treatments, and unknown long-term effects in cancer populations.
None of the drugs described on this platform should be obtained, self-prescribed, or self-administered without a valid prescription from a licensed physician and ongoing clinical supervision. Regulatory agencies including the US FDA, European EMA, and India's CDSCO have not approved these drugs for the cancer indications described unless explicitly stated. Research cited is preliminary and may not represent the current scientific consensus.
4. Herbal and Supplement Disclaimer
Information about herbs, botanical supplements, and nutraceuticals is provided for educational purposes only. The following should be understood by all users:
• Natural does not mean safe. Many herbal compounds have significant pharmacological activity and can interact with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, anticoagulants, and other medications — sometimes reducing their efficacy or increasing toxicity. • Herbs and supplements are not regulated as medicines in most jurisdictions and are not subject to the same safety and efficacy testing as pharmaceutical drugs. • Product quality varies significantly. Dosing information provided is general and may not reflect the potency of specific commercial products. • Some commonly used herbs are hepatotoxic (toxic to the liver) at high doses or with prolonged use. • Always inform your oncologist and pharmacist of all supplements and herbs you are taking. Do not start or stop any supplement without discussing it with your medical team.
5. Emotional Wellbeing and Psychedelic Therapy Disclaimer
The Emotional Wellbeing section includes information about emerging and experimental therapies, including psychedelic-assisted therapies such as psilocybin, MDMA, and ketamine.
Psilocybin and MDMA are classified as Schedule I controlled substances in most jurisdictions (including the United States, United Kingdom, and India) and are currently only legally available within authorised clinical research trials or, in very limited locations, specifically licensed therapeutic contexts. Possession or use outside these settings is a criminal offence in most countries.
iOnco does not encourage, facilitate, or endorse illegal drug use. Information about psychedelic therapies is provided solely to educate patients about emerging scientific research so they may have informed conversations with their healthcare providers or identify legitimate clinical trials (see clinicaltrials.gov).
Never self-administer psychedelic or controlled substances. Serious adverse events — including psychological crises, cardiovascular events, and serotonin syndrome — can occur without proper clinical oversight and a trained therapeutic container.
6. Practitioner Directory Disclaimer
Practitioners listed in the iOnco directory have self-submitted their profiles, credentials, and contact information. iOnco makes reasonable efforts to review submissions but does not independently verify:
• Medical licences or registration with regulatory bodies • Academic or professional qualifications • Disciplinary history or complaints • The accuracy of any claims made in practitioner profiles
It is your responsibility to independently verify the credentials and registration of any practitioner before engaging their services. Listing in this directory does not constitute an endorsement by iOnco. Any consultations, treatments, or advice received from listed practitioners is a matter between you and that practitioner. iOnco accepts no liability for outcomes arising from any practitioner consultation.
7. AI Chat Disclaimer
The AI chat assistant on iOnco is powered by a large language model (Claude by Anthropic). It is provided to help users navigate the platform and understand general health concepts.
The AI assistant: • Is not a medical professional and cannot provide a medical diagnosis, personalised treatment recommendation, or clinical advice. • May produce inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete information — this is a known limitation of language models. • Cannot access your medical records, pathology results, imaging, or treatment history. • Should not be used as a substitute for consultation with a qualified healthcare provider.
In a medical emergency, do not use this chat. Contact emergency services or your treating medical team immediately.
8. No Endorsement or Affiliation
iOnco does not endorse, recommend, or have any commercial affiliation with any specific supplement brand, drug manufacturer, herb supplier, therapy centre, practitioner, or health product mentioned on this platform, unless explicitly stated as a sponsored partnership.
References to research papers, clinical trials, and external organisations are provided for informational purposes. Mention of a study does not constitute endorsement of the study's conclusions or methodology.
9. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, iOnco, its operators, employees, contributors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from:
• Your use of or reliance on any information on this platform • Decisions made based on content found on this platform • Interactions with listed practitioners • Use of the AI chat assistant • Any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in content
You assume full responsibility for how you use the information provided on this platform.
10. Updates to This Disclaimer
This Medical Disclaimer may be updated periodically to reflect changes in our content, services, or applicable law. The date of the most recent revision will be noted below. Your continued use of iOnco following any update constitutes acceptance of the revised disclaimer.
