What is the Nuvo Method treating head
lice?
The Nuvo method is a breakthrough in the
diagnosis and treatment of head lice. I described it in my
research research
study that appeared in the September 2004 issue of the journal
Pediatrics. The Nuvo method was 96% effective even though
it involved no neurotoxins and required only minimal household
cleanup.
The lotion used in the research was
Cetaphil®
Gentle Skin Cleanser, a widely sold, soap-less cleanser for people
with sensitive skin. For full instructions on how to use the Nuvo
method with Cetaphil Cleanser, click here.
Reliable Treatment
Standard over-the-counter treatments such as
Nix® and Rid®, which poison the lice, often
fail to cure because of the emergence of new strains of head lice
which are resistant to the poisons. The Nuvo method, when used
correctly, suffocates the lice and has been shown to clear up 96%
of head lice infestations.
Accurate Diagnosis
Accurate diagnosis is the key to clearing up
cases of persistent head lice. The Nuvo method includes an
optional
Lice Identification Test(LIT), which accurately finds lice and proves the child is
infested now. The LIT can also disprove misdiagnoses which result
from having nits from a prior infestation or dandruff stuck on
hair.
