YEAST INFECTION NO MORE

Candidiasis is a fungal infection due to any type of Candida (a type of yeast).[2] When it affects the mouth, it is commonly called thrush.[2] Signs and symptoms include white patches on the tongue or other areas of the mouth and throat.[3] Other symptoms may include soreness and problems swallowing.[3] When it affects the vagina, it is commonly called a yeast infection.[2] Signs and symptoms include genital itching, burning, and sometimes a white "cottage cheese-like" discharge from the vagina.[4] Less commonly the penis may be affected, resulting in itchiness.[3] Very rarely, the infection may becoming invasive, spreading to other parts of the body.[5] This may result in fevers along with other symptoms depending on the parts involved.[5]
More than 20 types of Candida can cause infection with Candida albicans being the most common.[2] Infections of the mouth are most common among children less than one month old, the elderly, and those with weak immune systems. Conditions that result in a weak immune system include HIV/AIDS, the medications used after organ transplantation, diabetes, and the use of corticosteroids. Other risks include dentures and following antibiotic therapy.[6] Vaginal infections occur more commonly during pregnancy, in those with weak immune systems, and following antibiotic use.[7] Risk factors for invasive candidiasis include being in an intensive care unit, following surgery, low birth weight infants, and those with weak immune systems.[8]
Efforts to prevent infections of the mouth include the use of chlorhexidine mouth wash in those with poor immune function and washing out the mouth following the use of inhaled steroids.[9] Little evidence supports probiotics for either prevention or treatment even among those with frequent vaginal infections.[10][11] For infections of the mouth, treatment with topicalclotrimazole or nystatin is usually effective. Oral or intravenous fluconazole, itraconazole, or amphotericin B may be used if these do not work.[9] A number of topical antifungal medications may be used for vaginal infections including clotrimazole.[12]In those with widespread disease, an echinocandin such as caspofungin or micafungin is used.[13] A number of weeks of intravenous amphotericin B may be used as an alternative.[13] In certain groups at very high risk, antifungal medications may be used preventatively.[8][13]
Infections of the mouth occur in about 6% of babies less than a month old. About 20% of those receiving chemotherapy for cancer and 20% of those with AIDS also develop the disease.[14] About three-quarters of women have at least one yeast infection at some time during their lives.[15] Widespread disease is rare except in those who have risk factors.[16]

I, therefore, decided to write about cosmetic surgery and pricing.  Please note, since our practice is located in Orange County, California, the prices described here reflect the economy of Southern California and may not apply to other states or even Northern California.  However, the principles about pricing shall remain the same regardless of geography. Being a wine aficionado, I will use wine pricing for comparison, as everyone can relate to wine. I am going to use the 100 point rating system, popularized by wine critic Robert Parker.  A wine rated 90-94 is excellent.  A 95-100 point wine is considered a classic wine.  Obviously a 100 point wine is considered perfect, and there have been wines which have received this score by Parker and other critics. In general, due to cost of doing business, it is rare to find a red wine under $10 dollars which rates 90 or above by most critics.  The same is true for white wines as well.  From $10-20, there are many options, both red and
