We use various colors and titles throughout our articles. These are standardized for all Medika articles and this page will help you better interpret the information you find on the site.
Medika’s primary purpose is patient education. To provide you with access to clear information based articles in plain English. Articles that will help you to better understand a condition, disease, procedure or diagnostic
We use only government based resources for content or information provided by institutions of Higher Learning.
Our articles are peer reviewed and where possible we refrain from opinion, unless the article is specifically an opinion piece, as referred to above. This ensures that the content we publish is based on established and well-proven medicine.
In instances where the jury is still out with regard to possible treatments, causes and other unknown variables, we’ll tell you exactly that. Knowledge is power and no where does it matter more than with regard to your health.
Stay informed, stay healthy.
You’ll see articles published under the names of many different medical professionals. You can click on their profile links to read more about each one of them and in some instances, some of these doctors are active on the Medika Public Forum. We validate all contributing authors credentials, you can see the Validation symbol on their Profile Page.
A large portion of our information based articles are composed in-house by Medika Editors. In this instance you’ll see the Medika Life logo below the article.
That’s what the forum is for. We’ve created a public section so you can have your say and interact with our authors and other Medika members. You’ll need to register first to use the Forum, but it’s completely free.
