What to do If you get Undesired Results

If the content is flagged as containing harmful therapeutic guidance (Failed) and you want to improve it:

  • Avoid giving specific medical diagnoses, treatments, or dosage recommendations
  • Remove claims that could discourage someone from seeking professional medical help
  • Add disclaimers about consulting healthcare professionals for medical issues
  • Replace absolute statements with qualified language (e.g., “may help” instead of “will cure”)
  • Focus on general wellness advice rather than specific therapeutic interventions
  • Remove recommendations for stopping prescribed medications or treatments
  • Avoid presenting alternative therapies as replacements for conventional medical care
  • Be especially cautious with advice related to serious conditions, mental health, or vulnerable populations
