About Dr. Nupponen:
Pentti Nupponen was born in
Helsinki, Finland, which was at war with Russia at the time.
His godparents, Tyyne and Valto Aarnio,
were owners and operators of a large internationally known pottery factory.
Dr. Nupponen still has several of the
clay-based pottery items given to him long ago by his godparents.
An outdoorsman and builder
of a Pennsylvania long rifle, he learned that clay was used in that hobby as
well.
Dr. Nupponen was introduced
to holistic dentistry by his patients in the early 90's, leading him to focus
his practice on full-body dentistry.
This is the concept that one's dental health has a major influence on
one's total health.
Eventually Dr. Nupponen
heard about a different kind of clay, a clay not used in pottery or metal
casting. He learned about calcium
bentonite clay and its role in healing, detoxification and nutrition.
He found that this clay could help people to heal and to eliminate from
their bodies some of the worst bacteria known to mankind.
He also learned, through his own
research, that calcium bentonite clay plays an important part in detoxification.
He started to try different
clay products with his patients and found, to his amazement, that calcium
bentonite clay was more effective than anything he had tried before.
He was so impressed with the efficacy of
clay that he founded DermaClay, LLC, to offer clay products to the public.
Today DermaClay offers many
clay products as well as non-clay health and beauty aids.
