	Dear School  Nurse : 

	

	As you may know, head lice affects 6-12 million children across
the country every year.  It can sweep through a school, often leaving
children, parents and nurses seeking the most effective treatment but
finding confusing answers.  Current therapies often must be repeated,
exposing children to toxic pesticides that may do more harm than good.

	

	The Deirdre Imus Environmental Center for Pediatric Oncology(r)
in partnership with The Joseph M. Sanzari Children's Hospital at
Hackensack University Medical Center is interested in finding a better,
safer way to treat head lice. 

	

	By learning more about the diagnosis and treatment of head lice
from school nurses like you, we have designed a clinical trial for a
nontoxic head lice treatment.  With the study protocol, funding and
supplies secured, we would like to ask your participation in this effort
that will potentially impact school children across the country. 

	

	Our Center's mission is to identify, control and ultimately
prevent exposures to environmental factors that may cause adult, and
especially pediatric cancer, as well as other health problems with our
children. We are concerned about the toxicity and environmental impact
of current head lice therapies and hope to establish, for the first time
in the U.S. , a proven, effective nontoxic head lice treatment that is
readily available to all. 

	

	If you are interested in participating in this effort, please
see our Study Q & A Fact Sheet
<BLOCKED::http://pull.xmr3.com/p/10-BF85/8894357/clickto1_viro.com-index

participation, or if you have additional questions, please email study
coordinator Erin Ihde at: dienviro at humed.com
<BLOCKED::mailto:dienviro at humed.com> , or call 201-336-8071 by Thursday,
June 26, 2008.  The study will be conducted from Monday, September 8
until Tues., November 18. 

	

	Thank you in advance for your help and interest in protecting
our children's health.

	The Deirdre Imus Environmental Center for Pediatric Oncology(r)
