How Our Review Process Works

Every treatment page, clinical FAQ, and educational post published on Sanctuary Tulum passes through a documented, multi-stage review workflow before it is published or updated. Clinical drafts are prepared by staff clinicians and integrative-medicine writers, then reviewed by Dr. Jimenez for factual accuracy, appropriate scope of claim, and alignment with current peer-reviewed literature and our internal clinical protocols. Pages describing physician-supervised interventions — including ibogaine treatment, 5-MeO-DMT ceremonies, ayahuasca ceremonies, and stem cell therapy — receive additional review for safety, screening, and contraindication language.

Pages are versioned and re-dated whenever material safety information changes, whenever new peer-reviewed evidence is incorporated, or whenever our internal protocols are updated. This is why every treatment page on the site carries a visible "Reviewed" date and a byline linking back to this page.

Licensed Medical Facility

Sanctuary Tulum operates under a Federal License of Operation for Hospital and Clinic services, issued by Mexico's federal health regulatory authority (equivalent in scope to the U.S. FDA). Licensure requires strict compliance with medical safety, sanitation, and clinical protocol standards, and is renewed on the schedule set by the regulator.

Scope of Practice and Boundaries

The Medical Review Board oversees the accuracy of content within the scope Sanctuary Tulum actually practices: integrative medicine, physician-supervised plant medicine ceremonies, regenerative infusions, and holistic detox protocols. We do not present ourselves as diagnostic specialists in psychiatry, neurology, oncology, or emergency medicine, and every page that touches those areas is written to educate — not to diagnose or replace an in-person evaluation with a treating physician.

Where evidence is preliminary — for example, in areas such as 5-MeO-DMT for depression or stem cell therapy for neurological repair — pages are written to describe the current state of the literature honestly rather than to overstate certainty. Where evidence is strong — for example, MBSR-style meditation for anxiety or hyperbaric oxygen for specific approved indications — pages cite the primary literature directly.

Our Editorial Standards

Every treatment, therapy, and educational page on this site is written by our clinical team and reviewed by Dr. Jimenez to ensure medical accuracy, safety, and alignment with current best practices in regenerative and integrative medicine. We cite primary sources — PubMed-indexed studies, FDA guidance, and peer-reviewed reviews — wherever a factual claim requires support, and we correct or update pages when new evidence warrants it.

Content is educational only and does not replace an in-person medical evaluation. Prospective guests are screened via our confidential intake form and clinical interview before any ceremony or infusion is scheduled.
