Advises viewers not to self-diagnose. Encourages appropriate medical evaluation and explains that endoscopy with biopsy is needed for diagnosis. States that no home remedy or supplement can replace evidence-based diagnosis or cancer treatment. Avoids promoting unproven treatments or guaranteed outcomes. One recommendation if the script says "these symptoms mean stomach cancer", revise it to "these symptoms may have many causes, including stomach cancer, and persistent symptoms should be medically evaluated." This wording is more medically accurate and aligns better with platform health-content policies.
