What is citizen scientist? Why care?
Citizen science is when regular people apply scientific methods to make new discoveries. Science belongs to everyone!
What is people-funded science? Why care?
Society is shifting away from centralization, and the days of science being controlled by a select few gatekeepers—governments, corporations, and elite institutions—are numbered. This shift is driven by these key factors:
Decentralized knowledge sharing: Platforms like open-access journals, forums, and social media empower individuals to access, critique, and share scientific knowledge without needing traditional academic or corporate channels.
Citizen science: People are conducting their own experiments (N=1 studies) and collaborating on decentralized research projects, challenging the monopoly of large institutions on data and discovery.
Technology-driven empowerment: Tools like wearable devices, at-home testing kits, and AI-based analytics allow individuals to generate and interpret personal health and scientific data, bypassing centralized medical systems.
Distrust in institutions: Widespread skepticism of traditional authorities in science and medicine, fueled by conflicts of interest and historical abuses, has pushed society toward alternative sources of knowledge and decentralized platforms.
Society is quickly finding out the lie we’ve been fed for decades by the so-called “scientific” community. It is becoming more important for us to create science ourselves and to own the systems that facilite the scientific process, free from big money corruption.
What is N=1?
N=1 refers to a study or experiment conducted on a single individual (in the case of ProjectLx, on you!) This is often called a self-experiment and contrasts with larger studies where n represents the number of participants.
Individualized: The subject (you) acts as their own control.
Iterative: The person observes and adjusts variables (nutrition, movement, etc.) based on personal outcomes.
Non-generalizable: The findings apply only to the individual and may not be applicable to others.
Ideal for personal health: Helps the subject (you) discover your personal truth, free from the noise of other generalized studies which is often unhelpful to personal health.
Testing the effects of a nutrition, movement intervention on energy levels, digestion, or mood.
Exploring how specific lifestyle adjustments (like sleep routines or mindfulness practices) impact personal health outcomes.
Learning the timing, dosage, or method that works best for an individual.
N=1 verifies your personal truth, surpassing RCTs (randomized control trials) in relevance to you.
What is the end goal of ProjectLx?
Our end goal is to empower the individual (you) to reclaim health through N=1 self-experimentation, free from big money. Rallying for a future where lifestyle healing modalities (Lx) becomes first line for chronic care.
Discover health together on a people-funded, evidence-informed scientific platform.
What does "Lx" mean?
Lx refers to lifestyle prescriptions, similar to Rx but without pharmaceuticals. The benefits of Lx includes but is not limited to:
Natural (nutrition, movement, etc)
Root-cause approach
Health-driven
Reverses chronic illness
Is current medical science...that bad?
It’s not bad. It’s rotten. Lies, corruption, revolving door. Bought and paid for by big pharma. What else?
Profit over patients: Pharmaceutical and healthcare industries often prioritize revenue, leading to overtreatment, unnecessary prescriptions, and neglect of preventive care or lifestyle-based solutions.
Research bias: Funding biases and conflicts of interest can distort scientific findings, favoring treatments that generate profit rather than those that are most effective or accessible.
No root cause solutions: A narrow focus on isolated symptoms or metrics rather than addressing the whole person or root causes of illness.
The argument isn’t against the utility of medical science itself but its current systemic corruption, which prioritizes profit and power over true healing and innovation.
Is the app free? What's the catch?
Everyone gets a 7-day free trial. We do not require a card to start the free trial. To continue usage beyond that, a subscription is required. You can subscribe by manually entering the app and subscribing after the free trial. There is no catch because we charge a small subscription for the service upkeep. This is the only way we monetize the project. Your support is directly funding the science we discover in our community, free from big-money interference.
How do I cancel my subscription?
Please go to “Account” in the app and cancel from there. If you run into issues, you can also contact support@projectlx.com.
Who are your investors? Are they in bed with big pharma?
We are not funded by anyone. Our founder, who is a chronic patient from the tech industry, is maintaining the system with his own funds. We hope to have the system be owned by the people eventually (more to come, soon!).
Can I delete my account?
Yes you can do so at anytime. Please email us at support@projectlx.com.
Do you offer medical advice?
No we do not. Your interactions and usage of the app is bound by our Terms of Service which clearly states that nothing in the app is to be taken as medical advice.
Who reviews the experiments suggested in the app?
We use tools like AI to help gather ideas. Our team of medical doctors, naturopaths, academics, reviews them before it goes live in the app.
I don't see my condition listed
Please email us at support@projectlx.com and we’ll get our team of scientists to look into Lx interventions that are evidence-informed asap.
Can I recommend new experiments for others to try?
Absolutely! In fact it is recommended! You can email us directly with your experiment ideas or simply create a new experiment in app and check the “Post to experiments for other citizen scientists…” option before submitting.
Please note we have stringent guidelines to ensure things like brand mentions are not allowed on the platform. Our guidelines are meant to remove money profits from the experiments we show in app. It is not meant to impose bias.
