Product Reviews
Here at GeekHealth.org, we try to shed light on products and services, helping each
other separate the good from the bad. We also try to point out products and services
that have a clear health benefit and try to steer people away from company's pushing
scams and products that might have a negative impact or carry health risks.
All reviews done on GeekHealth are done by members, people like you and me. We are
not posting reviews as doctors or health care professionals, although some members
might be doctors or members of a professional health care organization.
IMPORTANT: You
should not consider GeekHealth a "medical advice" site. If you have a
serious health related problem,
please seek the help of a doctor.
GeekHealth reviews come in two main categories:
- Member Review
- GeekHealth Review
All submitted reviews are checked by GeekHealth.org staff before publication, to
eliminate obvious spam or advertising.
Member Review
A GeekHealth "Member Review" is a is a designation given to a product/service
review done by one individual. Any member of GeekHealth may submit a review of a
product or service through our
Submit Member Review
forum.
Members are encouraged to write reviews about products they have used in the past
or are currently using on their own. Each review adds to the collective knowledge
of the site and allows other to benefit from the sharing of information.
GeekHealth Review
A "GeekHealth Review" is a review done by three or more members. While
any member may submit a "Member Review" a GeekHealth Review is much more
rigorous and does follow some rules. It is our hope that by following these rules,
GeekHealth is able to offer a unique and beneficial service to the public.
Steps of a GeekHealth Review
-
GeekHealth.org contacts the product/service provider to request the provider give
information about their product.
-
GeekHealth.org requests the product/service provider supply at least three samples
to be distributed to reviewers.* The samples should last long enough for the reviewers
to see the results of use.
-
GeekHealth.org creates a "Review Kit" to distribute to the reviewers.
Included are instructions on how to perform the review as well as information on
how to record the progress of the review.
-
GeekHealth.org contacts members who have signed up to be product reviewers, usually
we will contact the person who initially requested the review along with others
who fit the profile(s) supplied by product/service provider.
-
GeekHealth.org mails the "Review Kits" to the reviewers.
-
Once the review is completed, GeekHealth.org merges the individual reviews into
a single document.
-
GeekHealth.org allows the product/service provider a chance to read the final review
document, and add a final remarks section.
-
Comments on the review are taken then compiled and added to the final review document,
this document is published on GeekHealth.org.
