Healthpol Delacet Herbal Head Lice Solution

I am a School Nurse in the Wigan Lancashire area and wondered if you have any information or samples that I could use for demonstration for parents. I have used Delacet for my own child and thought it was wonderful but I am unable to find any anywhere.
Thanking you in Anticipation

Hi,
Can you please tell me where to get hold of some Delacet?! I have searched the 'net and every site seems to be out of stock. Please don't tell me that you've stopped making it! My sanity depends on it!
Many thanks

What the Mothers Say about Delacet

"Thank you so much for your wonderful product. As a mother of five school aged children I had despaired at every finding a product which could deal safely with this plague of modern day biblical proportions!

Two of my daughters have asthma and can't use many of the products available at the moment, most of which seem utterly incapable of dealing with the strains of head lice now investing schools in any case!

So a big thank you for my four daughters and I who have long hair for your very prompt and courteous service and a product which works!

Regards"

Elise Lambert-Gorwyn

"I have 5 kids and have tried just about everything on the market and at best have only ever been able to keep it under control untill now.

my kids are now lice free it was as you said so easy to use i left it on over night washed their hair in the morning that was it they were all gone

i have just order 3 more bottles 2 to give to a friend and one to use as a spray just to make sure the little monsters (lice not kids) don't come back

thank you so much"

mrs c overton

"I've passed ... brochure to our local primary school... have spoken to our local health visitor, Elsa about Delacet and passed one bottle to a grateful neighbour who struggles with two of her children. Have talked to our headteacher about promoting a nit-busting week where maybe every family in ... could be given Delacet, courtesy of our local PTA. Such a relief to know that my middle daughter (who is the preferred host in our family) can go to school without the emotional pressure of thinking she's a walking zoo!! Best wishes"

Susan

"I have just used the above product on my granddaughter having used every product stocked in pharmacies, our GP has prescribed treatments and we have also purchased an expensive electronic nit comb. This problem has controlled our lives since she started infants last September and we were on the verge of having her beautiful long, thick hair cut when my sister attended a Natural Products Fair and purchased Delacet. We are staggered by the result after using it last night. The bath was literally full of dead lice and nits and they continued to fall during brushing and drying. We simply must have more!... Thank you, regards,"

Gail Morgan

"Having managed to avoid any contact with these pests until my children were 3,5,7 and 9 - we now cannot get rid of them!! My 7 year old daughter now goes to a school where lice seem to be as accepted as muddy knees after football!! Many parents simply comb their kids a couple of times a week when they remember and that is it! Needless to say we get on top of them and they come back! Having used all the different treatments I found delacet by accident and tried that recently and it was magic by comparison!! (I recommend it to all) Many thanks"

Tracey Hale

And not only children need Delacet

"Just want to say thanks for your product. I needed 4 bottles to completely cover my dreadlocks. I then used 1 bottle a week later on the scalp. The headlice are gone and my dreads are saved! Other products I used over the counter wouldn't kill the eggs but Delacet did. Thanks!"

About Delacet

Delacet is an easy to use natural herbal cleanser and repellent for head lice and nits. Laboratory trials have proven its extraordinary effectiveness after just one application. Delacet is not a shampoo and is very different from many products available on the market because:

It does not contain any harmful chemicals and is free from artificial preservatives, additives, colours, parabens, enzymes, harsh surfactants or solvents
It does not require detection or prolonged combing - easy wash out protective formula (no combing, no pain and no tears!)
It is suitable for all hair types including permed, coloured, Afro hair and dreadlocks (due to its "watery" consistency it is very easy to apply even on thick hair)
It has disinfecting and conditioning properties
It is quick, simple and safe to use by the whole family (except children under the age of 1 year)
It has decades long proven record of effectiveness - prepared with great care to very high standards
It has not been tested on animals
It is suitable for vegans
Delacet keeps for up to 3 years even after opening
It is produced to GMP standards (awarded ISO 9001 and 9002)

Head Lice - Did you know?

Head lice are usually small 6-legged insects, which can vary in colour from grey to brown and can live up to 4 weeks. Nits are tiny oval shape light colour specks (eggs or young louse), which are glued to individual strands of hair.
Nits are usually close to the scalp where it is warm but they can be found anywhere on hair
Head lice are not necessarily tiny creatures - some of them are big enough to be easily spotted crawling on hair
Lice can live on other parts of the body such as pubic area or arm pits
Head lice can survive outside a human body for up to 48 hours and no prolonged contact is necessary to get infested
You can catch head lice through direct head to head contact or contact with places or objects which are infested (hats, hair brushes, bedding). They can't jump or fly but they move very fast. You cannot catch head lice from animals as they do not get them.
For the infestation to stop, all head lice and eggs (nits) must be killed at the same time.
Treatments, which effectively eliminate head lice, will not require the use of a nit comb as the dead insects will drop out while washing the hair (the law of gravity!)
Repeated applications are only required in treatments which do not kill head lice and nits after the first application.
Using the fine tooth comb rarely removes nits as the conditioner makes hair slippery and the comb cannot grip the eggs well, which are firmly glued to the hair.
Prolonged nit combing damages hair and roots. It may lead to irritated and broken skin, secondary scalp infection and dandruff.
A four year old girl needed a skin graft at the Lister Hospital in Stevenage due to the scalp infection caused by nit-combing with chemical shampoos.
Nit combing with conditioner is purely a cosmetic procedure where live lice, which are tangled up in a conditioner or shampoo are manually removed. This must be repeated thoroughly many times for at least 2-3 weeks. If re-infestation occurs in the meantime, this method becomes an endless and frustrating task. Nit combs are not necessary with Delacet, as the lice and eggs just die and drop off the head with washing.
Head lice are not a "normal" part of childhood and the condition should not be ignored. Nobody knows "WHAT" they spread as they feed on blood and move from head to head.
Many natural head lice products are ineffective as they use herbs with antiseptic rather than anti-parasitic properties. Such herbs are often used for a variety of ailments and in the cosmetic industry unlike those which primarily deal with lice infestation in humans.

Directions to use as a Cleanser:

Apply Delacet generously to dry hair and scalp. Pin up hair if long and wear an old shower cap to protect yourself and clothes from solution dripping. Leave Delacet on for 2-3 hours, then shampoo thoroughly.

To use it as a repellent:

Pour some Delacet into a spare spray bottle and spray hair once in 3-4 places around the head before child goes to school. Alternatively, dib your fingers in Delacet and apply to hair in 8-10 places around the head. Repeat every day.

Caution:

For external use only (if swallowed seek medical advice immediately). Avoid contact with eyes. Wash off splashes from the face. Do not use on broken skin. Discontinue use if skin irritation develops. Not suitable for children under 1 year. Small children with shower caps should not be left unattended. Keep out of reach of children.

More enquiries about Delacet when it became unavailable for quite a few months:

Hi,
I am trying to buy some of your product but it seems every site I go has an out of stock notice on it. I hope this is just a short term thing and not long term. Your product is the only thing I know that really works. Can you tell me when it will be back in stock please.
I urgently need some.
Thank you
Leanne W

Afternoon,
Just curious to see if your product is still available? Can't find it anywhere online (All out of stock). Has this been discontinued, and if so do you know of any other treatment as effective that you could point me in the direction of.
Sad if it has been discontinued as it is a great product.
Thanks for your time
Brian

Hi,
Could you possible give me a list of stockists in the north somerset area? I have been unable to find any yet and there is nothing that has worked as well as this product. I would really appreciate this. Failing this – Is next day delivery available? Many many thanks
Kind Regards,
Elizabeth K

Hi dear delacet people,
i am the nit nurse of small rather alternative farm school. Nits seem to be going round and round in circles so I advised the other parents to treat the effected children before the term begins but it seems almost impossible to buy the lotion. Can you help me? I even would buy a bulk order of it.
Thank you
Kind regards,
Margaretha H

Hi

Hi

Thanks in advance
Chrissy

Hi

Thanks
Helen

Hi
I spoke to you some months ago about Delacet, and when we were likely to see the return of this fab product. There seems to be a major headlice epidemic and I wondered if you had got any further with your packaging/licensing issues as there are a lot of families out here desperate to get our hands on it again.
Kind regards
Niki M RSHom

I would like to order/buy some bottles of Delacet. I used to buy it from our local health food shop and it proved to be extremely effective. They no longer stock it so I am contacting you direct.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes Lucy Bending

Hello,
Is there any where I can get this in the UK please?
Regards
Philippa C

Dear Sir / Madam,
Please help. I know your product has been taken off the market for re-packaging reasons, but it has been for some time now. We are desperate - my daughter and I have such thick hair - we just cannot eliminate the infestation completely with other products. So fed up.
Your product is the only one, which some 4 years ago worked wonders.
Can you advise if your product is indeed coming back on to the market, or have the pharmaceutical companies been able to get their way and eliminate the competition completely by closing you down?

Yes, cynical and desperate!
If you are not bringing the product back on to the market, please advise and I will give up and find something else!
Many thanks for a great, effective and safe product.
Regards,
Carla G

To whom it may concern,
I am desperately trying to buy a few bottles of Delacet to help combat the head lice that have decided to camp in my children's hair for the Summer. Can you please let me know how I can buy 3 or 4 bottles of it as soon as possible. It is the only treatment that has worked and I really need some more.
With many thanks
Mrs A M

HI there

Dr. Catherine C

Hi
I spoke to you a while ago regarding getting some Delacet. You said that it would be available on website in a few weeks. When is this likely to be as I am truly desperate as despite use of hedrin my family of five still have lice I am really concerned that despite my best efforts we may be passing it on.

Hello. I am a big fan of Delacet and used it when I lived in the UK as well as recently since I moved to the USA. It looks like you are still awaiting EU rulings on your packaging. Supplies have dried up. What's the latest on that?
I'm sure this hiatus from sales is very hard on your company. I am a big believer in your product and would like to find out more about Heathpol and Delacet to see if I might be able to help you break into the US market in a stronger way.
Regards,
Susan W

HI there! Please can you tell me where I can purchase Delacet? I have four small small children at school, and I am tired of the head lice cycle!

Hi there,
Your product is not available until the end of the year we were told by our wholesaler. Is this true? Can it be got directly? It is the only natural one that works, what is the reason for not producing if you don't mind me asking.
Thanks
