NITMIX

I hope nobody thinks that we here at NITMIX
are making an easy fortune on the internet
or changing the World at a stroke. No, the
truth is much less glamourous.

This is an e-mail exchange to help just one
school nurse turn around attitudes to head
lice treatment in her own school.

But hey! Progress not perfection is the goal!

As with all e-mail exchanges, I hope you can
read backwards so we start with the happy ending.

Hey, John,
Just had to let you know that after being excluded from
day care for head lice 16 times, our little 3 yr. old
student is lice and nit free!!!!!!

We used the sample you sent us on her last Thursday and
followed up this weekend by sending some home with mom.
This morning we checked her and found no lice. We will
now start having mom use NITMIX as a final rinse according
to the directions. Our secretary is ordering more NITMIX
today.

It’s so nice to finally have a solution for head lice.
No more doing home visits to tell families they must
scrub their entire house and everything in it.

Thanks, again.

John,
Thank you soooo much for the samples of NITMIX.

This is the answer to our problem. I love the fresh clean
smell of it. We want to place an order. Do you have a
distributor in the USA or do we need to order from your
web-site order form? Again, thank you.

John,
You are the best. I bet head lice cringe with fear when
they see you coming. You are probably public enemy number 1
in the head lice world.

I thank you sooo much for your information and will pass
it on to the school nurses.

Hi Helen
Vinegar (over 5% acetic acid) and 8% Formic acid appear to
weaken the bonding of head lice eggs to the hair shafts.
Prevention and treatment of head lice in children,
Mumcuoglu, KY, Paediatric Drugs, 1999 Jul-Sep; 1(3): 211-8.

The dilute solution being proposed will make the kids skin
sting and nothing else.

Smothering with oil is very unreliable. Head lice can suspend
breathing for several hours. You also have no idea if you have
succeeded so you still need effective removal procedure.

I don’t recommend any child to be left with a covering that
can withstand oil overnight, if it keep oil in it will keep
air out too and no child should be left overnight with a
suffocation hazard.

The bedding thing is covered by an article from the James
Cook University’s Head Lice Research Group at the School of
Public Health and Tropical Medicine,

Rick Speare, Cahill, ThomasG, Head lice on Pillows and
trategies to make a Small Risk Even Smaller, International
Journal of Dermatology 2003 Aug 42 (8): 626-9

“Chance of individual head lice transferring to the pillow
of an infested child approx. 1 in 1000″

And the house cleaning is dealt a blow by Rick Speare of
the School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, James
Cook University, AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND
JOURNAL OF PUBLIC HEALTH 2002 VOL. 26 NO. 3

” 14, 000 head lice removed from children in a single
day and not one found on the floors of their classrooms.”

Brutal point.

They are following this advice and they still have their
problem.

We have thousands of customers who took our advice and read
these articles and they don’t have their problem, see
testimonials.

Makes you think huh?

Good luck with your task of pushing water uphill against
the wind, we have been doing it for 7 years but it’s fun!

Need any more ammo we will go find some.

Regards
John Owen

Hi, John,
This lice treatment is currently circulating though our
schools and I understand even some of our physicians are
giving it to their patients. According to information on
your web-site, it won’t work.

1.Soak hair in vinegar for 20 minutes. (1 tsp./ 1 qt. water)
rinse.

2.Comb out with fine tooth comb (to get rid of nits or pick
them out with your fingers.)

3.Rinse.

4.Put olive oil or cooking oil on hair and cover with shower
cap overnight.

5.In morning wash out with shampoo.

6.Repeat in 1 week - Make sure hair, clothes, bedding etc.
is cleaned.

7.Please contact your physician if any problems arise.

Our latest head lice victim is a 2-month old girl. I am running
into a lot of resistance and disbelief when I tell our moms and
our staff it is not necessary to scrub the house, spray the
furniture and wash the bedding. Instead they should concentrate
on heads. They look at me like I am stupid.

I guess with these kinds of attitudes, head lice are guaranteed
a secure future.

Hi Helen
Thanks for you message.
First off you should make sure you and this family you are
interested in read all 7 parts of the 7Huge Head Lice Myths
because the answer to their problem will be in there!

Chronic head lice is almost always a long sequence of nearly
successful treatments that result in re-infestation about 2-3
weeks later. Had the parents known how to comb out the
Stragglers left in the hair they could have succeeded many times.

Another vital fact is that a small number of kids have almost
perfect skin chemistry for head lice (my younger daughter was one)
that get full blown head lice infestation every time the do the
rounds of the class room.

Until you disguise this scent they will suffer much more than
others will.

It is probable that more members of the family have head lice
to some extent even if they don’t have obvious symptoms. Unless
these extra reservoirs are also cleared out you will struggle to
get this child lice free too.

If you can supervise this child’s treatment to any extent I will
forward a sample set of NITMIX for you test out. The motive is to
spread the message that removal is just as effective, if not more
so, than killing lice.

You will need to forward and address for me.
Regards
John Owen

Dear Nitmix,
I am the RN for the Early Head Start program for the *******
Independent School district.

We serve children from birth to age 3. We have one child who is
almost 3 year old. She has had chronic head lice for about 2 years.
We have been to the home, talked with the family, supplied head lice
shampoo and basically done everything we know to do and she and her
family still have this problem.

I have even talked to the state and city health departments with no luck.

Do you have any suggestions for us or can you help us?

Thank you. RN Early Head Start Health Services Co-ordinator
