CDC is bringing Ebola patient to Emory University in Atlanta

"EMERGENCY, EVERYONE TO GET FROM STREET!"
an old Godzilla movie line, or some future CDC announcement?

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this because I have not read the whole thread but I read an article today about colloidal silver being a cure for Ebola.

This just in: Guy selling colloidal silver says colloidal silver is the best and will treat everything. More news as the story develops.

I thought silver was only bacteriocidal, not viricidal.

Possibly in Asia

If your customers are all dead from ebola, they can't sue, so it doesn't matter.

I knew that silver was a powerful antifungal also. The US Army has taken to issuing combat socks with silver nanothread behind some remarkable testing in that direction. I had not thought much on it's effect on viruses, but apparently there is a group of metals known to deactivate viruses, and it seems silver is the best of them, but (the testers) ultimate concern being to recover the minerals magnetically for a specific kind of treatment regimen.

LOL I wouldn't trust colloidal silver to knock out an Ebola infection, but apparently it does have antiviral properties against some kinds of viruses. Who knows if Ebola is one of the, I don't. But I do know that one of the primary problems with using silver as a bioavailable antiviral is targeting. If you just flood the system too much then you end up making a zombie smurf. What medicine is trying to do, I believe, is to shunt the blood elsewhere, use the properties of silver to deactivate the viruses in that blood, and then remove the silver from the blood before returning it to the patient. Which is why it's still in the experimental stages, really.

If there was any evidence whatsoever that silver taken internally had positive effects, I might believe you. Instead, when you say 'medicine' I think you mean blue quacks.

Tobacco seems to be helpful.

no intention of quitting smoking.

Pretty sure this guy doesn't operate a heart/lung bypass at a major hospital, so no. The antiviral properties of silver have been directly observed in vitro and now science is looking for a way to capitalize on that without turning people blue. I'm confused as to why this is a problem... ?

Report: Ebola outbreak likely started by 2-year-old in Guinea
updated 7:46 AM EDT, Mon August 11, 2014

CNN) -- The worst outbreak of Ebola, which has killed 961 people and triggered an international public health emergency, may have started with a 2-year-old patient in a village in Guinea, according to a report.

About nine months ago, the toddler, whom researchers believe may have been Patient Zero, suffered fever, black stool and vomiting. Just four days after showing the painful symptoms, the child died on December 6, 2013, according to a report published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Researchers who published the paper earlier this year found a chain of illnesses in the child's family.

After the toddler's death, the mother suffered bleeding symptoms and died on December 13, according to the report. Then, the toddler's 3-year-old sister died December 29, with symptoms including fever, vomiting and black diarrhea. The illness subsequently affected the toddler's grandmother, who died on January 1, in the family's village of Meliandou in Guéckédou.

The area in southern Guinea is close to Sierra Leone and Liberia borders.

The illness spread outside their village after several people attended the grandmother's funeral.

Funerals tend to bring people in close contact with the body. Ebola spreads through contact with organs and bodily fluids such as blood, saliva, urine and other secretions of infected people. It has no known cure.

Two of the funeral attendees appeared to bring back the virus to their village, and it spread to health care workers and other family members who took care of infected patients.

"A health care worker from Guéckédou with suspected disease, seems to have triggered the spread of the virus to Macenta, Nzérékoré, and Kissidougou in February 2014," stated the report, noting more Guinea towns were affected.

Clusters of disease popped up in early 2014 in these areas, with the initial patients suffering fever, vomiting, and severe diarrhea, according to the report. Hemorrhage was less frequent, the report noted.

In early March, the Ministry of Health in Guinea and Médecins sans Frontières in Guinea were notified about the disease clusters.

Health investigators arrived that month and began tracing the disease by examining hospital documents and conducting interviews with affected families and villagers.

Ebola has now spread to Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria, prompting global concerns.

The report about the emergence of Ebola in Guinea was authored by dozens of international doctors and researchers from institutions in France, Germany, Guinea, WHO and Médecins sans Frontières.

I have used colloidal silver for quite some time and I am still not blue. But then I don't take mega doses of it either. I only take it when I feel like I might be getting sick.

How is a two year old Patient 0? I thought it came from eating fruit bats... Not sure someone that age is going to be gnawing on a bat.

Ron Paul weighs in on Ebola scare. Says Ebola scare in the US is mostly hype. Examines gov't banning of DDT for reducing malaria while pushing vaccines instead.

Uh, DDT is useful for killing insects, not bats, which are likely the natural reservoir of ebola. lol

It's more about particle size than dosage, really. Bigger flakes of silver get caught in the capillaries, where when exposed to sunlight develop like film. Super small particles of silver pass through the capillaries without getting stuck.

In the article he was comparing Ebola to Malaria which kills far more. The DDT reference was to Malaria.

Yeah you're right. I edited it to reflect that Ron was referring to DDT in context of gov't misdirection, not an ebola cure.
