Found this article below and wanted your take on it. Does the author have a point? Do they go overboard in the zeal of selling their product? Or are they just way out in left field?
And while I'm at it, I may as well make it into a poll. :wink:
Are Medicated lice treatments beneficial?
1) yes
2) no
3) somewhat
4) Oh Look!! a seagull!
And now we return you to the regularly scheduled program :teeth::

Why do some families get lice and some don't? Why do some kids in the same family get lice over and over again while siblings stay lice-free?
We can only tell you the conclusions we've come to after talking to thousands of families all across the country, some of whom have been battling lice for months and even years! Bear with us as we get a little technical. [edited advertisment]
Over-the-counter and prescription lice products contain pesticides (http://www.licesolution.com/pesticides.html), which are neurotoxins1. The US Government tells us that the amounts contained in these products are not harmful to health.
But what you may not know is that everyday household cleaning and personal care products also contain minute quantities of neuro-toxic ingredients. And research is showing that while each product might contain safe levels of these ingredients, the problem is in the combinations of ingredients in all the different pesticides, cleaners, and personal care products used, with adverse effects building up over time.
You probably think you don't have that many pesticides in your house. Well, maybe some bug spray for the garden, some mosquito spray and repellent, some ant powder, moth balls, termite treatment, roach motels - hey, wait, that's quite a few. But did you know that any cleaning product that claims to kill bacteria also has pesticide in it? Did you know that your air freshener has the same pesticide as Nix(tm)?
If you spray for insects, if you have your house fumigated, if you spray your garden for pests, the accumulation of pesticides is increased with every application. This effects the blood chemistry of every person in the family, especially young children whose still-developing organs are less capable of handling this onslaught of toxins.
You don't have many toxic chemicals in your house you say? Here's a little checklist:
Laundry detergent such as Tide, Era, Gain
Bleach such as Clorox, Purex
Fabric softener such as Downy, Bounce, Snuggles
Bathroom cleaner such as Lysol Tub 'n' Tile, Tilex, Scrubbing Bubbles
All-purpose cleaners such as Mr. Clean, Ajax, PineSol, Lysol
Spray cleaner such as Lysol, Fantastick, 409
Dishwasher detergents such as Cascade, Sun
Toilet bowl cleaner such as 2000 Flushes, Vanish, Lysol
Glass cleaner such as Windex, Glass-Plus
Cleansers such as Ajax, Comet
Liquid Soaps such as Sofsoap, Dial
Not to mention hair care products, sprays, perfumes, body lotions and even toothpaste.
Now add to that the chemical lice treatment(s) you've been using and you can see that the scales have just tipped way over to the toxic side. What's created is what we like to call a "toxic chemical soup" in your indoor household environment. . .. [cropped advertisement]
