Medical Compendium Home

Welcome to the Medical Compendium, a resource site for medical and disease information.

We are developing the Medical Compendium to provide an extensive resource of medical and disease articles and information for easy reference. Initially, the information focus will be on Cancer (Breast Cancer and Prostrate Cancer) and Acne but a range of other dieases, illnesses and afflictions will be added as they are compiled.

We have just added our newest series of articles on the “stealth disease” - diabetes. The diabetes illness is increasing in todays society with estimated cases of over 300 million around the world. Read our informative articles series to learn how to identify diabetes symptoms and start controlling this insidious disease before it is too late.

Our Medical articles relate to the medicine branch of health science that is the cornerstone of maintaining or restoring human health through the study, diagnosis, treatment and possible prevention of diseases. Medicine is a specialist field in the science of human body systems, diseases and treatment.
