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.
