Dr. Tung’s Earth Day Giveaway

As we pause to celebrate the importance of Earth Day and honoring our environment today, Hippocrates Health Institute are excited to partner with sustainable dental health products company,
Dr. Tung’s, for an exciting giveaway on this holiday!

Dr. Tung’s commitment is to offer our customers natural, more effective, leading-edge oral care products. Good oral health is an integral part of overall health, and they integrate modern and traditional knowledge to produce highly effective products for you and your family. They use only natural ingredients and flavoring, and have a long-term commitment to recyclable and biodegradable materials.

Hippocrates Health Institute proudly carry four Dr. Tung’s products in our store:

● Ionic Toothbrush – Unlike regular toothbrushes which try to force plaque off the teeth by friction, the IONIC brush makes the teeth let go of plaque, like turning off a magnet! A recent independent report showed that ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSHES, including SONICARE and ORAL-B, do not remove significantly more plaque than a regular manual toothbrush! Yet the Ionic toothbrush has been clinically shown to remove up to 48% more plaque than a manual brush!

● SmartFloss – Smart Floss dental floss is clinically proven to be more effective than regular floss. It has been shown to remove up to 55% more plaque than some of the most popular flosses, i.e. regular waxed and un-waxed flosses and PTFE monofilament floss (compare to Glide). The floss is lightly waxed with a natural blend of vegetable and beeswax (no petrochemical wax) and has a natural cardamom flavor. It also comes in a biodegradable container.

● Stainless Steel Tongue Cleaner – Used and recommended by dentists and hygienists, Dr. Tung's cleaner is the leading tongue cleaner in the health market and is sold in health stores and dental offices around the country.

● Snap-On Toothbrush Sanitizer – The Snap-On Sanitizer is a REVOLUTIONARY product that releases all-natural, anti-bacterial vapors to kill germs and safely sanitize your toothbrush between brushings. The new pack with Snap-In refill now gives 6 months total protection per pack - this is 50% more than the old pack. Plus it saves 46% plastic over the old one.

The Importance of Choosing Organic and Natural Clothes

In recent decades the mass-produced clothes has controlled clothing industry providing cheaper and cheaper clothes from high-end designer branded items to non-brand bargains. But if we stop to think – are we really making a saving or are we paying an even greater cost when we look at the larger picture? At Hippocrates Health Institute we consider all aspects from environmental impact, to the health implications when it comes to what we recommend to our guests.

Author Brian Clement of Hippocrates Health Institute

In the recently published book Killer Clothes written by Brian and Anna Maria Clement, directors of the Hippocrates Health Institute, the effects on our health from the clothes we put on our bodies is examined in great detail.  The largest organ in our bodies is our skin and it absorbs to some degree everything that touches it. This includes the toxins found in the vast majority of mass-produced clothes: toxins within the fabric, the dyes, the finishes and even the smell. We are absorbing these toxins every day and even washing our clothes still leaves massive quantities of toxins retained.

Brian Clement’s research at Hippocrates Health Institute can on the effects of toxins found in clothing be found in his latest book Killer Clothes, revealing that toxic dyes have been linked to a number of serious medical conditions such as chronic skin rashes, respiratory disease, neurological disorder and cancer. Many countries regulate the use of formaldehyde, as it’s a dangerous toxin that attacks the throats, lungs and respiratory tract, but the United States is not one of these regulatory countries. The most common materials used in clothing manufacture are polyester, acrylic and nylon, which are created using hundreds of chemicals.

The plant-based diet advocated by Hippocrates Health Institute is one of the leading ways to help the environment, but did you know that even the clothes we wear could be detrimental to our planet’s delicate ecosystem? The manufacture of clothes emits thousands of toxins into the air and water supply, and subsequently as we wash our clothes more toxins are released as the non-binding chemicals from the finishes are washed away.

Natural Organic Fibers

Hippocrates Health Institute strongly promotes switching to Organic and natural fibers such as organic cotton, organic hemp, organic wool and blends as a healthier alternative. Not only are these fibers more breathable, resist bacteria, offer better UV protection, but they are also biodegradable and harmlessly returns to Mother Earth.

By choosing pure, clean natural and healthy clothing you will protect your health, and the environment, and increase the demand for quality goods. Ideally choose organic, but also check the labels to see if the fibers are natural (created from plants), and wash everything before wearing. At Hippocrates Health Institute we go the extra length to ensure even all the towels and bed sheets we use for our guests are made from organic cotton and are chemical free. We urge you to take the time when you are shopping and make wise informed choices when it comes to the fabrics will be in contact with your skin.
