Clinical & Evidence Principles
Approved · Version 3
Professional responsibility and realistic expectations matter for every approach.
Medical care comes first
Coordination supports necessary examination, diagnosis and prescribed care. It does not replace emergency treatment or justify delaying it.
Consider each intervention
Evidence, risks and suitability differ by condition and treatment. Ask the clinician about expected benefit, uncertainty, interactions and alternatives. A broad label does not establish effectiveness.
Clear responsibility
Each professional works within their qualifications and scope. Agree who is responsible for recommendations and follow-up. Outcomes are not guaranteed.
Understanding ROOT360
ROOT360 is a structured review of the health story, care decisions and relevant daily-life factors. It does not, by itself, diagnose a disease or establish a single root cause. Investigations and clinical decisions need their own assessment and explanation.
Different approaches need separate explanations
Medical care, Ayurveda, homoeopathy and other approaches have different methods and evidence. Their presence in a professional team does not mean they have equivalent evidence or are suitable for the same purpose. Ask what supports a specific recommendation for your condition and what remains uncertain.
Medicines, supplements and interactions
Include prescribed medicines, over-the-counter products, herbs and supplements when discussing your current treatment. Ask the responsible clinician about possible interactions, monitoring and reasons to stop or change a proposed intervention. Do not assume that a product is safe simply because it is described as natural.
Reviewing recommendations
Agree the purpose of each recommendation, how progress will be reviewed and whom to contact if problems arise. A patient story or professional interest is not proof of effectiveness. Bring new symptoms, changed treatment or conflicting advice to the clinician responsible for your care.
