I was thinking of that point myself, but nevertheless, the 
lice problem is universal, and creosote is poisonous, while 
salt is not when used externally. Sea water does not hold 
enough salt for a treatment, you need a higher concentration. 
Probably it works by sucking out the body fluids of the lice 
by osmosis, so that they die from dehydration. 

There is no country in the world that manufactures a cheap 
and efficient straight-forward anti-lice solution, and those 
available in the industrial world are both inefficient and 
harmful. Lice get resistant to the insect poisons, and you 
cannot use a stronger solution, because it harms people. 

The point you make is valid not only for the lice problem, 
but more so for other common diseases that are easily curbed, 
as for example hypertension, which is an early sign of the 
major cause of illness by the elderly and premature death 
at middle age, circulatory problems. Doctors know how to 
cure the problem, but the remedy is not available. The sad 
part is that treatment from the beginning is dead cheap, the 
most efficient medicine is a diureticum that costs nigh to 
nothing to manufacture, but attacking the causes is even 
more effective, as the illness surges from malnutrition. 

I do not think that the statements in the article are true. 
We have seen before, how they boast about the vaccines they 
allegedly sell to the rest of the world, but any search on 
the subject returns nothing but their own vaunt. Brazil, 
which is the state that actually did waste some million 
dollars on their inefficient vaccine, ended the trial more 
than a decade ago. So far, no proof has been shown for the 
big words in these press releases. I think the simple reason 
is that there is no proof to come up with.
