Independent Medical Alliance Releases 4th Edition Of New Journal
The Independent Medical Alliance (IMA) today announced the publication of Volume 1, Issue No. 4 of the Journal of Independent Medicine, marking the successful release of four quarterly volumes in its inaugural year
The journal continues to gain momentum as a vital scientific platform for physicians, researchers, and patients seeking evidence-based research outside the constraints of corporate and political influence.
“As federal agencies like HHS begin to prioritize transparency and conflict-free science, the Journal of Independent Medicine is filling a gap left by captured institutions,” said Dr. Joseph Varon, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Independent Medicine and President of IMA. “We are publishing rigorous, peer-reviewed work that challenges assumptions, invites open inquiry, and helps the world move from captured science to independent medicine.”
The Journal of Independent Medicine remains one of the few peer-reviewed scientific publications committed to publishing studies and reviews on sensitive or underreported topics—including vaccine safety, metabolic and chronic disease prevention, and medical ethics.
Each volume is double-blind peer-reviewed and free of pharmaceutical sponsorship, ensuring true independence and accessibility for clinicians and the public alike.
Looking ahead to 2026, the Journal of Independent Medicine will expand to six issues annually, including two special editions devoted to some of the most urgent and underserved issues in modern healthcare:
- Treating Post-Vaccine Complications
- Repurposed Drugs and Nutraceuticals in the Chronic Disease Epidemic
“These upcoming issues reflect our mission to empower physicians and patients with the knowledge necessary for informed consent and effective care,” added Dr. Varon. “By examining the overlooked, we’re rebuilding trust in medicine and creating the scientific foundation for real reform.”
