Anastasios Pappas MD Establishes Med School Scholarship at the University of South Dakota

In memory of Chris Karnezis MD, we have established the Chris Karnezis Memorial Scholarship at the University of South Dakota Sanford School of Medicine.  This scholarship will help cover several thousand dollars annually of the cost of tuition for one eligible medical student enrolled in good standing.

The funding has been established for 4 years, and we hope over time to be able to sustain the scholarship and possibly make it grow.

The scholarship will be available beginning in the 2012/2013 calendar year with preference for students of Greek descent and than those of South Dakota and Minnesota residence.

Yeast / Candida Shots for warts.

Warts are often stubborn and frustrating for patients and doctors. There are a dozen ways to treat warts as there simply are no great or perfect ways, good ways at best.

Yeast injections, Candida have become very popular.

In 10 years of using yeast I have learned a lot about its potential.

First, it is not the whole yeast, so you can't get an infection from it. You certainly can get inflammation and that is expected, normal and probably good.

It takes an average of 3 visits spaced 3 weeks apart. Sometimes more visits, rarely less. The area will turn red and tender within a couple days. That is a good sign. Yeast is a decoy, it tries to draw your immune system to the area, and than have it go after the wart virus.
