Medical Disclaimer
Effective Date: 01-01-2023
This Medical Disclaimer applies to the Terra website ([insert website address]), the Terra program, and all associated communications, materials, and content (collectively, the "Service").
By accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge and agree to the terms of this Medical Disclaimer. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
No Medical Advice
The information provided through the Service is for educational and informational purposes only. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Terra does not provide medical advice. No information on this website, in program materials, or communicated by Terra volunteers should be construed as medical advice. You should not disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you have read on this website or heard from Terra.
No Physician-Patient Relationship
Your use of the Service does not create a physician-patient relationship between you and Terra or any of its volunteers. Terra is not a medical practice. Our volunteers are not acting as your physicians.
Any information you share with us is for educational and program coordination purposes only. It is not protected by medical confidentiality laws in the same manner as information shared with your own physician.
Consult Your Healthcare Provider
You are strongly advised to consult with a qualified healthcare provider before beginning any fasting, dietary, or mineral supplementation protocol, including the Terra sequence.
This is especially important if you:
- Have been diagnosed with diabetes (type 1 or type 2)
- Take diabetes medication (insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas, or others)
- Take blood pressure medication
- Take blood thinners
- Have kidney disease
- Have gout
- Have a thyroid condition
- Are pregnant or nursing
- Have a BMI below 18.5 (underweight)
- Have a history of eating disorders
- Are taking any prescription medication
- Have any chronic health condition
Your healthcare provider is the only person qualified to advise you on whether fasting, dietary changes, or mineral supplementation is appropriate for your specific situation.
No Guarantee of Results
Terra does not guarantee that the sequence will produce any specific outcome. Individual results vary significantly.
Some participants have achieved reversal of their type 2 diabetes. Others have achieved significant improvement in their condition. Others may see limited or no improvement. Past participant outcomes do not guarantee future results for any individual.
Terra does not claim that the sequence cures, treats, or prevents any disease. The term "reversal" is used to describe the normalization of blood glucose without medication. It is not a claim of permanent cure.
Medication Disclaimer
Do not stop, start, or adjust any medication based on information provided through the Service. Any changes to your medication regimen must be made under the supervision of your prescribing physician.
Fasting can affect blood glucose, blood pressure, and electrolyte levels. These effects may alter your medication requirements. Your physician is the only person qualified to determine whether and how your medications should be adjusted.
Terra is not responsible for any adverse effects resulting from medication changes made without medical supervision.
Assumption of Risk
Fasting, dietary changes, and mineral supplementation carry inherent risks. These risks include but are not limited to:
- Hypoglycemia (dangerously low blood glucose)
- Electrolyte imbalance
- Dehydration
- Refeeding syndrome
- Digestive distress
- Headaches and fatigue
- Interactions with medications
By using the Service or participating in the Terra program, you voluntarily assume all risks associated with fasting, dietary changes, and mineral supplementation. You acknowledge that you have been advised to consult your healthcare provider before beginning. You agree that you are solely responsible for monitoring your own health and for seeking medical attention when needed.
No Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Terra and its volunteers shall not be liable for any injury, loss, damage, or adverse health outcome arising from your use of the Service, your participation in the program, or your reliance on any information provided through the Service.
This limitation of liability applies regardless of the legal theory on which the claim is based, including but not limited to contract, tort, negligence, or strict liability.
Emergency Situations
If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, call your local emergency number immediately. Do not rely on the Service for emergency medical assistance.
