Introduction

Nature Wins!

After extensive research with the James Cook University in Townsville, LiceBlaster was launched as the latest weapon in the fight to control head lice.


This research indicated a head lice epidemic in Australian schools and that lice have become resistant to the ingredients in some head lice treatments. James Cook University tested various natural preparations until finally a complex herbal and essential oil formula proved to work.

LiceBlaster is a major new development in the fight against resistant head lice. In clinical trails, LiceBlaster killed lice when nothing else could.

LiceBlaster is natural. It contains organically grown herbs and 100% pure essential oils and leaves the hair glistening with health.

LiceBlaster has been listed by the Therapeutic Goods Administration of Australia (AUST L 66390).

Efficacy

In clinical trials conducted with James Cook University in Townsville, resistance to Lice Blaster has never been seen. In fact, Lice Blaster proved so effective, children who had reportedly suffered with head lice for over 12 months and had used up to 15 different treatments, were lice free after 2 treatments.

It's quite simple to tell if a product is killing lice. If a head lice product works, lice will be dead within 20 minutes. Just apply the treatment as recommended by the manufacturer, leave on for 20 - 30 minutes and comb with a lice comb. Wipe onto a tissue and check if lice are dead.

If head lice show resistance to one product, look to see what the active ingredient is. Instead of purchasing another product with the same active ingredient, choose a product from one of the other three groups. The four groups of active ingredients are herbal, permethrin, pyrethryn, malathion or maldison.

Remember head lice have not shown resistance to LiceBlaster in two years of trials involving over 6,000 students.

A randomised, double-blind, therapeutic trial conducted by Prof Speare in May 2000, produced interesting results when LiceBlaster was tested against a 1% malathion treatment. Of the 2,000 children who were initially involved, 178 children were found to have active infestations of head lice - as classified by the presence of live lice, not just eggs. The head lice product was applied to these students according to the instructions, and was left on the head for 20 minutes, with the process repeated again a week later. The final examination occurred 7 days after the second application of head lice product.

CONCLUSION: LiceBlaster proved 24% more effective than 1% malathion. Lice resistant to the 1% malathion product were noted in 3.1% of treatments. No resistance to LiceBlaster was noted.
