Ebola Virus ~ Recommended Vitamins, Herbs, and Other Considerations (1648 hits)
The current Ebola virus outbreak spreading across West Africa is the biggest that has ever been recorded, having killed more than 670 people as it stands at present time.
Ebola is a rare but potentially deadly infection which is caused by an infection with a virus of the Filoviridae family, that causes bleeding inside and outside the body. Left untreated, it kills up to 90% of people who are infected.
Could people in the U.S. ever get Ebola? So far serious Ebola cases have only shown up in Africa. Ebola can spread from country to country when people travel. So it is possible for Ebola to reach the U.S. if someone who is infected travels here on a plane. But there are safety measures in place to prevent people from coming to U.S. airports with the disease.
Airline crews are trained to spot the symptoms of Ebola in passengers flying from places where the virus is found. Crews are told to quarantine anyone who looks infected.
How do you get Ebola? You can get Ebola by coming into contact with the blood or body fluids of an animal or person who is infected. People often get sick with Ebola when they care for or bury a person who has the disease. Someone also can catch the virus by touching contaminated needles or surfaces.
Symptoms of the Ebola virus show up 2 to 21 days after someone is infected. As the virus spreads through the body’s cells, it damages the immune system and organs. Ultimately, Ebola causes levels of blood-clotting cells, called platelets, to fall, which can lead to severe bleeding.
The signs and symptoms of Ebola typically begin abruptly within five to 10 days of infection. Early signs and symptoms include: fever, severe headache, joint and muscle aches, chills, and sore throat. Over time, symptoms can become increasingly severe and may include weakness, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea (may be bloody), red eyes, raised rash, chest pain and cough, stomach pain, severe weight loss, and bleeding from the nose, mouth, genitals, rectum, eyes and ears.
While there is no effective vaccine for the Ebola virus, doctors try to manage the patient’s symptoms by giving them fluids and electrolytes through a vein, nutrition, and oxygen. Vitamins, herbs, and foods that can help provide the elusive cure for Ebola virus disease include:
Vitamin B, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Calcium, Bitter leaf (Vernonia amygdalina), Bitter cola (Garcinia kola),Garlic, Neem Tree, Guava, Lemon grass, Water yam, Corn (maize), Sesame, Aloe vera, Green amaranth, Cat’s Claw, Astragalus, Echinacea Root (all kinds), Goldenseal Root (all kinds), and Ginseng (all kinds).
Powdered licorice root has been proven to cure ebola. However, in large doses, the cure also has the potential to kill the patient, particularly if they have heart or kidney disease.
Eat mainly raw foods (living foods) – organic fruits and vegetables and drink plenty of fresh squeezed and made fruit juice and vegetable juice. Avoid processed foods and junk foods and chemical additives, i.e. aspartame, saccharin, etc.
Colon cleansers can also be used. These help keep the colon clean. A clean colon is imperative in healing.

My question would be: How and why was the Ebola virus allowed to reach such a critical level in the first place? But I think we know why. Genocide is a manifest reality...
Ebola outbreak... That's a scary thing... Building up you immune system is the first recommendation... Ver good info... Garlic is believed to be the wonder drug... I personally have not been a fan of herbs... Vitamins... Etc... But I am beginning to look into this...

Cynthia,
Herbs are wonderful and so easy to add to food. It’s definitely better to stay preventive rather than waiting until the body is ailing. As I get older, I understand more of what First Lady Obama is doing regarding staying healthy. Remember that herb garden she planted on the White House grounds with those school children? What I don’t trust are all these engineered foods. In my opinion, that's what people are getting sick of and dying from.
Juicy now I certainly am with you on that... These engineered... Cloning of fruits. Did you know that most of the strawberries in the grocery market.. are growing in labs... I have started planting my own fruits and vegetables. I'm just leary of the stuff that's put in our foods we eat. My grandfather farmed.... I am so thankful he taught my brothers and I a little about gardening... I always plant a small garden of my favorite veggies...
Sis. Juanita....excellent digest of natural defenses against Ebola virus. A person that has already contracted Ebola should not give up on life. No matter the statistical outcome of persons afflicted with Ebola, persons must try to beat the odds and cling to life. Your research into those natural substances that can help a person beat those odds is commendable.

To all,
The Ebola virus is not Black America’s first priority. Black America’s first priority is the unity of the Christians and the Muslims into one people as we move forward to become a nation for the first time in our own sovereign country protected by established borders!
Ebola is a good discussion to have bear in mind that our first priority is to become a nation, but we talk less if nothing about becoming a nation. Why?
Mrs. Juanita learned what she knows from White America and not from any research that Black Americans have done. But, if we were a sovereign people we could indeed do our own research, right.
