Best Treatment for Resistant Lice

by Dr. Moshe Ipp
We have used a remedy that works 100% of the time; a 50:50 solution of oil and vinegar.(mineral oil should be used,it smells less than other oils). It should be massaged into the hair,covered for 1 hour with a shower cap, and left on for 1hour, then shampooed out with regular shampoo. It can be repeated as often as necessary The vinegar purportedly detaches the nits from the hair shaft, while the oil suffocates any live lice and fascilitates easy and smooth combing out of the detached nits and killed lice. It is a natural and totally safe procedure. It has been a life saver for our parents who are besides themselves after using repeated courses of potentially toxic therapeutic shampoos without success.
