Life Bank¶
A citation-grounded knowledge base of medical conditions — built, audited and kept current against the live literature.
Every non-trivial claim here carries a PubMed identifier that was verified against a live literature search at the moment the claim was written — never recalled from memory. Every page has additionally passed an independent audit, run in a separate session from the one that wrote it, which re-fetches each cited record and checks it against the claim it is attached to.
This is not medical advice
This site organizes published research. It is not medical advice, not a diagnostic tool, and not a substitute for a clinician who knows your situation. If you are unwell, seek care.
