I run a professional nit removal and head lice treatment service located in Roslyn, N.Y. We have been treating people with head lice for about 2 years and we use this book as our guideline. It is a wonderful book. The video is great too!

If you have a lice problem, go out and buy this book. If you don't want to use dangerous chemicals on your kid's heads this is simply the only solution. This book is well written, clear and it is not trying to sell you anything. When you are overwhelmed with panic about an infestation, start reading and laugh again. Thank you for making this book.

The information is presented in an entertaining while very informative way. Quit fighting the same old over-the-counter routine...get this information so you can eliminate these critters for good, and KNOW with complete confidence that it's going to work Greatly. Then you can share what you know with others who you may find, need it as well :O)

The authors seem to think so, and you might also after reading this. There is a lot of controversy surrounding head lice today. This book is a great reference to the variety of techniques as well as a delightfully entertaining guide to their own chosen style of eliminating the determined pests. The book treats the readers with respect. The straight forward honesty of the writers is refreshing and funny.

I know it's already a small book, but there's still tons of fluff. I could really do without the opening story. The olive oil treatment is the way to go. This book is cheap and definitely worth it. It made me realize that lice are really not that big of a deal. A stupid, slow bug that doesn't carry disease. Get the book, just skim the fluff and skip to the important stuff.

This book has a lot of good info, and we're following its plan. One thing that's a little concerning is that it contains some misinformation about some of the chemical products it advises against. It states that Malathion (which we were just prescribed to use, for better or worse) is banned in the US by the FDA. This is not true.

Maybe the FDA has been bought by the head lice industry (wouldn't surprise me), but statements like this should be corrected.

I have had the unfortunate task of dealing with the nightmare of LICE. I read the book and used some of the advice with the olive oil. Then I used NiX which worked after using it twice the first week and then when lice came back, used it 2 more times.
Thankfully it is now, knock on all wood surfaces :), gone. I recommend the book if you need it, and I wish you all the luck in the world!!!
