§ About Welyon
About Welyon

A research brand for one bacterium and eight conditions.

Welyon publishes investigation guides, manufactures a non-invasive testing kit, and is developing a physician-supervised protocol. It exists because the literature on H. pylori has moved faster than the standard workup.

§ 01 · Mission
Mission

Close the gap between documented mechanism and routine practice.

The connection is documented. The testing is not routine. That is the gap Welyon fills.

Roughly one in three Americans carry H. pylori. The peer-reviewed literature has — slowly, across thirty years — associated this single bacterium with eight clinically distinct presentations, from refractory iron deficiency to chronic spontaneous urticaria. The mechanisms are increasingly characterised. The literature is publicly available. The diagnostic step required to act on it costs less than a single visit to a specialist.

And yet the standard workup for most of those eight conditions only tests for H. pylori when the symptom is digestive — with the notable exception of ITP, where H. pylori testing is guideline-endorsed by the American Society of Hematology.

Welyon's mission is to make that gap smaller — by publishing the literature in clinical-conversation form, by lowering the friction of the diagnostic step, and by routing positive results into supervised care.

That is the whole project. Welyon does not invent mechanism, does not promise resolution, does not sell a wellness lifestyle. It publishes what the literature already says, gives readers the language to ask sharper questions, and stands behind a testing pathway when the conversation calls for one.

§ 02 · Evidence philosophy
Evidence philosophy

Every claim, tagged inline. Every tier, defined publicly.

We refuse to dress up evidence quality. The reader is owed honesty about how much the literature actually shows.

The investigation series spans claims that are well-replicated and claims that are early-stage. Treating those two categories with the same visual weight would be a trust failure. So we don't. Every claim across the eight guides carries one of three tiers — Strong, Moderate, or Exploratory — applied inline at the point of claim, and again in the citation list at the back of the PDF.

The rubric is applied identically regardless of whether the resulting investigation routes a reader toward — or away from — Welyon's testing kit and protocol. Editorial grading is independent of commercial outcome. That independence is the trust contract.

Strong
Multiple cohorts · replicated

Multiple peer-reviewed studies in agreement; replicated in independent cohorts; mechanism characterised. The case for investigating is well-established.

Examples · Iron · Immune (ITP)
Moderate
Consistent · limited scope

Consistent literature, but cohort scale is limited or the mechanism is only partially characterised. The case is plausible and worth pursuing as part of a structured workup.

Examples · Fatigue · Brain Fog · Thyroid · Nerve · Skin
Exploratory
Plausible · early-stage

Plausible mechanism with early-stage or pilot-cohort evidence. The case for investigating, not the case for concluding. Flagged honestly on the cover and inline.

Example · Metabolic

Commercial interest disclosure

Welyon is developing an at-home H. pylori testing kit, the Welyon HP Stack, and the Welyon HP Program. The presence of this disclosure does not change the content of the guides. This commercial interest is disclosed on every guide cover, every checkout page, and in the footer of this site.

Editorial independence

Evidence grading across the series follows a single rubric, applied identically regardless of whether the resulting investigation routes a reader toward — or away from — Welyon's testing kit or protocol. No claims are softened or strengthened for commercial benefit.
