Hygiene – The Art of Health
Hygiene – The Art of Health: The word “Hygiene” has its origin in the late 16th century (1670s), via French “hygiène” from modern Latin “hygieina,” ultimately from Greek “hugieinē technē,” meaning “the art of health,” from “hugiēs,” meaning “healthy.”
The word “hygiene” comes from Hygieia (or Hygeia), the ancient Greek goddess of health, cleanliness, and sanitation, for disease prevention and wellness.
She was the daughter of Asclepius, the ancient Greek god of medicine.
A notable reference to Hygieia’s role as a goddess of health is the Hippocratic Oath, an oath of ethics historically taken by physicians.
Based on our H2 Hygiene Philosophy and innovative approach, Molecular Hydrogen Internal Hygiene™ is the ancient Greek “art of health” practiced in the 21st century for internal cellular health, focused on cleanliness and prevention.

What Is Hygiene?
Hygiene is a set of practices performed to preserve health and prevent diseases, especially through cleanliness.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), “Hygiene refers to conditions and practices that help to maintain health and prevent the spread of diseases.”
You can see a broader description of Hygiene practices at all levels (personal, medical, social, environmental, industrial, etc.) as preventive measures to maintain health and reduce the incidence and spread of germs leading to diseases.
1980s: 133+ Years Until Mandatory Handwashing in the U.S.
Handwashing was first proposed in 1847 by Ignaz Semmelweis (1818-1865), considered the father of hand hygiene, a Hungarian physician and scientist of German descent, an early pioneer of antiseptic procedures in maternity wards, which earned him the description as the “savior of mothers.”
Despite his research and the overwhelming empirical evidence, his proposal conflicted with the long-established medical and scientific opinion of the time and was rejected by the medical community because he couldn’t offer a theoretical explanation for his observations.
Some doctors were even offended and refused to believe the suggestion that their hands could transmit diseases.
His name is used today to refer to the Semmelweis reflex/effect, a metaphor for the human tendency to reject new evidence or ideas that conflict with existing beliefs, norms, or established paradigms, even when supported by facts.
The basic forms of the germ theory of disease were proposed as early as 1546 by Girolamo Fracastoro, but the foundation for the germ theory was demonstrated and confirmed in the 1860s by Louis Pasteur, giving Semmelweis’s observations the theoretical and scientific explanation.
Another major pioneer of handwashing and general hygiene for health was Florence Nightingale (1820-1910), the founder of modern professional nursing.
She also founded the world’s first nursing school, the Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery (1860).
Through her writing, she was a prominent and effective advocate for the importance of handwashing for nurses and other hygiene practices in British army hospitals.
110 Years Until Adopting Handwashing
Even if the American surgeons began adopting handwashing in the 1870s, influenced by the germ theory, the official U.S. adoption of handwashing was only in the 1980s.
Then, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published the first national hand hygiene guidelines, making handwashing an official part of American healthcare practice.
How Long Until Adopting Internal Hygiene™?
How long will it take to adopt, if accepted, and implement Molecular Hydrogen Internal Hygiene™?
Honestly, I can’t say!
I DON’T KNOW!
The Semmelweis reflex/effect is much more present today than I expected.
What I know for sure is that if we don’t even give it a chance and test it, we will never know if or how it works for us, despite over 3,000 scientific publications so far.
But I believe we have the chance to make a positive change that could truly benefit us all today and future generations.
Also, I believe that when looking back, it’s essential to prevent any regrets about not seizing this opportunity sooner.
However, Time has a unique way of revealing the true impact of our decisions, both the actions we take and those we avoid.
Let’s welcome this journey together and discover the potential it holds for our well-being!
The future can be bright if we embrace the opportunities before us today.
