Sunshine Health Care provides alkaline water of a pH of 9.5 to all Patients. We utilize an ionizing unit called Tyent 90/90.

Going Green

Save the planet and save some money.  Car pooling, also known as ride-sharing or lift-sharing, saves money on fuel costs, wear and tear on your vehicle, oil resources and it reduces the associated negative environmental impact. Dr. Mitchell and Sharron Keene, Sunshine Health Care’s Clinical Coordinator, both live in Chandler, AZ, but commute to the office in Peoria every day - a round trip of over 100 miles! By sharing a ride in a smaller, fuel efficient car, both Dr. Mitchell and Sharron each save over $300 in fuel costs per month! That’s a combined savings of $7,200 per year.

According to the SightLine Insitute (single passenger statistics): A small car emits around .59 pounds of carbon dioxide per mile.  A medium car emits around 1.1 pounds of carbon dioxide per mile. An SUV/4 wheel emits around 1.57 pounds of carbon dioxide per mile. So what are you waiting for, to find a carpool buddy visit www.erideshare.com.
 

Sun Tea Recipe

INGREDIENTS:
4-6 of your favorite tea bags
2 Quarts clean, cool alkaline water
Optional - fresh mint leaves to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:
Put 4 to 6 tea bags into a clean 2 quart glass container. Fill with water, preferably alkaline water, and cover with a lid. Place outside where the sunlight can strike the container for about 3 to 5 hours. Move the container if necessary to keep it in the sun. When the tea has reached its desired strength, remove from sun and put it in the refrigerator. You may or may not want to remove the tea bags at this point. I usually don't. You should refrigerate the tea and drink it up pretty quickly - a day or two. It will not keep as well as iced tea made from boiling water.
