NO MORE LICE WITH KILLER LOUSEBUSTER DEVICE

Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) August 25, 2010

As parents, we try to buy more organic food, choose safer cleaning products and pick laundry detergent without fragrance and dyes. Yet if our children have head lice, most of us would use a lice shampoo repeatedly without a sense of how we are exposing ourselves and our children to pesticides and other potentially harmful chemicals.

For the last 10 years, evolutionary parasitologist, Dr. Dale Clayton, a professor in the Biology Department of the University of Utah**, has worked to develop a new approach for treating head lice. After his own children had head lice, Professor Clayton initiated lab-based studies using commercially available hair dryers to kill head lice, but these proved to be ineffective and too hot. He continued his research and a revolutionary new medical invention evolved: the LouseBuster device, which provides a treatment that is non-chemical, effective and fast.

The LouseBuster device, brought to market by Larada Sciences, was cleared by the FDA in 2009, and was mentioned in the Clinical Guidance Report on head lice treatments recently issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Founder, Chairman and CEO of Larada Sciences, Larry Rigby: “The LouseBuster technology contributes two very important advances to the centuries-long battle against head lice. First, the LouseBuster device is very effective at killing lice eggs*** which are the most difficult life stage of lice to eradicate; and second, parents now have a clinically tested option that does not expose their children to potentially harmful pesticides or other chemicals.”

More and more parents and health care providers are embracing a philosophy that is similar to that of Deborah Altschuler, President of the National Pediculosis Association, who emphasizes that \"We can\'t remove every potentially harmful chemical exposure from a child\'s life, making it imperative to remove those that we can.\"

The LouseBuster head lice treatment is available through a network of certified lice treatment service providers around the world. The LouseBuster device is also sold to professionals for use in schools, clinics, camps, and other places where lice are commonly diagnosed or treated.
