1 About this web log Register The C.A.M. Report Complementary and Alternative Medicine: Fair, Balanced, and to the Point This blog is intended as an objective and dispassionate source of information on the latest CAM research. Since my background is in pharmacy and allopathic medicine, I view all CAM as advancing through the development pipeline to eventually become integrated into mainstream medical practice. Some will succeed while others fail. But all are treated fairly here. Login What CAM issues interest you the most?

4 Scientists at the University of Utah have invented a chemical-free, hairdryerlike device called the LouseBuster. And they have a study showing that it eradicates head lice infestations on children by exterminating the eggs or nits and killing enough lice to prevent them from reproducing. Here are the details. Several variations in using the LouseBuster were tried in 169 infested people One 30-minute application at a temperature, slightly cooler than a standard blow-dryer Nearly 100% mortality of eggs and 80% mortality of hatched lice All subjects were cured of head lice when examined 1 week later No adverse effects of treatment You can t buy the LouseBuster in stores yet. It s in the early stages of commercial development by a company called Larada Sciences. 11/10/06 19:08 JR This entry was posted on Friday, November 10th, 2006 at 8:18 pm and is filed under Anything that doesn't fit below.
