Ebola: Are Natural Remedies Helpful?

Thanks for your post

From Wikipedia: Debate surrounds the link of BHT to cancer risk, asthma and behavioral issues in children;[8] some studies show a potential to increase and some showing a decrease in risk.[9][10][11] Some food industries have voluntarily eliminated this additive from their products, and since the 1970s, it has been steadily replaced with BHA. BHT is marketed as a health food supplement in capsule form. It has been reported to have anti-viral effects, particularly in use against herpes family viruses and in combination with L-lysine and vitamin C.[12][13][14][15][16][17][18] This latter use has made it into some of the more popular literature.[19][20][21] Closely related phenol antioxidants exhibit low toxicity. For example, the LD50 of 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol is greater than 9 g/kg.[

Final report on the safety assessment of BHT(1).

Lanigan RS, Yamarik TA.

Abstract

BHT is the recognized name in the cosmetics industry for butylated hydroxytoluene. BHT is used in a wide range of cosmetic formulations as an antioxidant at concentrations from 0.0002% to 0.5%. BHT does penetrate the skin, but the relatively low amount absorbed remains primarily in the skin. Oral studies demonstrate that BHT is metabolized. The major metabolites appear as the carboxylic acid of BHT and its glucuronide in urine. At acute doses of 0.5 to 1.0 g/kg, some renal and hepatic damage was seen in male rats. Short-term repeated exposure to comparable doses produced hepatic toxic effects in male and female rats. Subchronic feeding and intraperitoneal studies in rats with BHT at lower doses produced increased liver weight, and decreased activity of several hepatic enzymes. In addition to liver and kidney effects, BHT applied to the skin was associated with toxic effects in lung tissue. BHT was not a reproductive or developmental toxin in animals. BHT has been found to enhance and to inhibit the humoral immune response in animals. BHT itself was not generally considered genotoxic, although it did modify the genotoxicity of other agents. BHT has been associated with hepatocellular and pulmonary adenomas in animals, but was not considered carcinogenic and actually was associated with a decreased incidence of neoplasms. BHT has been shown to have tumor promotion effects, to be anticarcinogenic, and to have no effect on other carcinogenic agents, depending on the target organ, exposure parameters, the carcinogen, and the animal tested. Various mechanism studies suggested that BHT toxicity is related to an electrophillic metabolite. In a predictive clinical test, 100% BHT was a mild irritant and a moderate sensitizer. In provocative skin tests, BHT (in the 1% to 2% concentration range) produced positive reactions in a small number of patients. Clinical testing did not find any depigmentation associated with dermal exposure to BHT, although a few case reports of depigmentation were found. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel recognized that oral exposure to BHT was associated with toxic effects in some studies and was negative in others. BHT applied to the skin, however, appears to remain in the skin or pass through only slowly and does not produce systemic exposures to BHT or its metabolites seen with oral exposures. Although there were only limited studies that evaluated the effect of BHT on the skin, the available studies, along with the case literature, demonstrate no significant irritation, sensitization, or photosensitization. Recognizing the low concentration at which this ingredient is currently used in cosmetic formulations, it was concluded that BHT is safe as used in cosmetic formulations.

Richard, if you want to learn about Vit C check out doctoryourself.com, he explains everything about vit c and how much.

I've read that no virus that has ever been tested can stand up to vitamin C -- they are always killed!

Remember the New Zealand farmer who only survived a deadly flu because his family insisted on vitamin C. They gave him an expensive commercial Liposomal C but you can easily make it yourself very cheaply with a little equipment.

By the way, liposomal C also cured that farmer of a previously undiagnosed leukemia.

To Gertie;

Re Ebola...and killing viruses

You ask what might kill Ebola virus. Consider reading the two articles on "Earth Clinic" under "Remedies" on Colloidal Silver.

Thanx for your health action Bill!!

Alex Jones of Infowars.com sells Nascent Iodine and Colloidal Silver directly from his site.

Recently, and with my condition continuing to decline, I tried adding H2O2 to my Silver for enema/colon cleansing and in footbath w/ noticeable improvements. Not a lot of info on this combination but it no doubt very much increases the activity compared to either alone. It is said that Oxygen binds to Silver more readily than Iron and so provides a one two punch to the pathogens. Have not yet tried oral administration but will soon as I previously had no noticeable results from high ppm C.S. alone. Leonard Harowitz sells an "OxySilver" supplement infused in Love 528 frequency said to be a most superior natural antibiotic.

BILL , you must be mistaken, for our government only has the best intentions for us peons.

======OLE RH=========

I Have been doing my own research online and with health books on natural cures and id colloidal silver the only product that will kill ebola? I read about olive leaf extract, how many herbs can be mixed to perform the same thing since the colloidal silver is now being confiscated, which is againt our personal freedom of our rights!!

If you have a combination of herbs or seed oils please let me know, I use oil of oregano and grapeseed extract, can I mix these together or with other oils and herbs? Please let me know. I mention to others with what helps me. Blessings to you, sincerely Ms. Margie

Cindy US --- read Dr. Mark Sircus' newsletter online on his website. You will have the whole picture. All else is deliberate disinformation let loose on the public. The medical mafia is waging war worldwide for the sake of business.

Hope that helps. Om

You all need to read the article above regarding the use of colloidal silver against ebola and how all media and the World Health organization is blocking shipments and trials of this innocent and effective substance. It is shocking and enlightening that these organizations are controlled by U.S. drug companies and how they are not concerned about the lives of Africans of anyone else who gets in their way. Consider this: Jim Humble spearheaded an effort in Malawi that cured 60,000 people of malaria for ten cents in 10 hours and no one ever heard about it in America. The World Health Org. had him kicked out of the country. He used chlorine dioxide in small dosages. He also cured 200 cases of aids with one month of treatment. Now you may be getting the point of how the world is run by evil and how you have to take care of yourself and your family by natural, , intelligent self effort. Use this site, my friends , , and only use the doc's to find out what is wrong with you, , , Peace, , , Jumpin J.

Everyone, that has half a brain will understand, the money is all they care about and they don't want cures.

The strongest most prevalent antiviral is vitamin C naturally in our environment.

White pine trees grow everywhere, just boil needles and drink.

I'm sorry, but I missed the point of using the white pine needles. Can some one enlighten me? Thanks!

Regarding white pine needles, they are extremely high in C. That was the poster's point, I believe.

I was wondering about the pine needles also.

@R.H. Always good to have your old soul in here providing the insights many fear to contemplate.

I live by my said proverb of "hope for the best and prepare for the worst" and Longfellow's "Heart for any fate".

Anyway, Leonard Harowitz wrote a thick book on the AIDS & Ebola virus several yrs ago, and as one might guess, much evidence of DNA tampering all the way up to "biological warfare".

Here a ling to the Amazon site: (hope it works)

To Cc form LA...

YES colloidal silver would help...Ebola is a virus. CS does its best work on viruses.

Dear Cc from L.A., Ebola is a lipid coated virus. BHT has proven to be an effective treatment and preventer of ALL lipid coated viruses to one degree or another. I take 250mg to 500mg of BHT per day with water on an empty stomach. I NEVER get the flu or colds and such. BHT did CURE me of hepatitis C and B and also oral herpes. Is Ebola breaking out in L.A. ? I read of new outbreaks in Africa. Is Ebola showing up in L.A. ? ...Oscar

Hi Oscar....thanks for your reply on treatment of Ebola. There are no outbreaks here in the U.S., but the US is transporting 2 cases from Africa to Atlanta for treatment. Hummm. I fear that it is not a good idea. I'm concerned should there be a outbreak here, how best to treat it from the alternative perspective. I would love to hear from Ted or Bill as well.

Oscar, I have followed your thread for sometime....bless you for your generosity.

CC

There is NO officially recognized treatment for or preventive compound for EBLOLA. But BHT has been proven to effectively treat and prevent infection of or by exactly the same class of viruses. Lipid coated viruses.

Because the, the WHO and all the others have NO officially recognized treatment or preventer it is time to at least TRY the very inexpensive BHT. What is their to lose by at least trying the BHT? BHT has been PROVEN to cure and prevent MANY lipid coated viruses if not all of them. Some recent reports from WebMD here on BHT and hepatitis C and herpes:

http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-supplements/ingredientreview-1071-BHT+BUTYLATED+HYDROXYTOLUENE.aspx?drugid=1071&drugname=BHT+(BUTYLATED+HYDROXYTOLUENE)

@Oscar: FDA & big pharma are ramping up on fast tract approval & distribution of medications & vaccines for Ebola. The losses for the public will go in hand w/ the profits of the corporates.

I would consider very high doses of Vitamin C for Ebola. Also, because of the bleeding issue I would consider cayenne pepper, orally. After seeing great results with Extra Virgin Coconut Oil for the virus that causes mono I would consider that, too.

~Mama to Many~

Our daughter is in the medical field and calls on Emory Hospital, where the Ebola patients are being taken. Naturally we are concerned, but even more so when we learned that the virus has been engineered now to be airborne. This is a conspiracy theory naturally and you want to piss it off, except if you watched the TV film of the first patient sent to Emory they were being escorted by a person with an enclosed air system on.

When you run out of something to do, read the 1964 book " NONE DARE CALL IT TREASON" . I did in 1964 and it's far more relevant in 2014.

ATS======OLE ROBERT HENRY======

Dear Father, See to it your daughter is on BHT. Recommended dose of 250mg to 500mg of BHT per day with water on an empty stomach. 60 + healthcare workers dealing with EBOLA patients dead and counting as reported here:

http://www.vox.com/2014/8/2/5960449/why-are-many-ebola-outbreak-health-workers-doctors-dying-virus

Why where these EBOLA patients allowed in the USA ? No one knows how to deal with this NEW strain or the dangers associated with it. It can NOT hurt to take the BHT in the dosages I discussed. It may save her life....Oscar

The health care workers wore the air system suits out of an abundance of caution, not because the virus is now "airborne". Believing otherwise is just plan absurd. Ignorance may be bliss, but sometimes it's also dangerous.

You mentioned that your daughter works in the medical field. Hypothetically, had she gone to Liberia to help others and became infected, would you want her to remain in a Liberian hospital receiving sub-standard care, or would you want her transported back to the U.S. where she would receive the absolute best care available?

The two American patients were transported back here because they are Americans! Should we have left them to rot and die in a Liberian hospital where they had virtually no chance to survive?

Ebola is not an airborne virus. Enough with the fear-mongering.

Hello Courtney,

The issue of the possible "airborne" ability of the latest version of Ebola is addressed in this article which everyone should read: google, "pacific standard the scariest virus ebola"... this article takes issue with your "certain" position.

This latest strain appears to be far worse than previous outbreaks of Ebola, and how it is transmitted is "up in the air" according to the article.

Hi Dave,

With all due respect, for every article you cite claiming that Ebola is an airborne virus, I can cite one claiming that it isn't.

I do know for "certain" that doctors from the U.S. have been in African countries treating Ebola patients for a very long time. None were infected, until recently.

It is said, regarding transmission, that familiarity breeds not contempt, but casualness. Health care workers who have been working with patients for extended periods become lax and don't adhere to the precautions as strictly and become infected.

One article cited the spread of SARS as an example of the "familiarity". It noted that the spread was completely halted when the precautions were strictly followed.

While many speculate as to whether or not Ebola is airborne, the reality is, that it has not yet been conclusively demonstrated to be airborne. So, until it has been conclusively demonstrated, I, personally, won't push the panic button.

Please visit Dr. M. Sircus' website on his news letter on Ebola. This may open your eyes. Om

Hello Courtney,

Re: Is Ebola "Airborne"?

Regarding your second Post, you rightly state, "While many speculate whether or not Ebola is airborne, the reality is it has not yet been conclusively demonstrated to be airborne."

That cautious and CORRECT viewpoint is a far cry from your position the day before when you wrote: "Ebola is NOT an airborne virus. Enough with the fear- mongering."

I'm guessing you read the article I cited and understand that there may be a big difference in prior Ebola virus outbreaks from previous decades. If a deadly virus mutates to become airborne (think 1918) and thereby killing millions, then the primary mode of dissemination via blood and bodily fluids would be accelerated if it could be transmitted by air. And the article I cited definitely cites the transmission between two primates (not humans) without transmission of fluids or blood from one to the other.

But there are different ideas of what "airborne" means. Ebola of this recent variety causes substantial bleeding and if the patient coughs or sneezes, microscopic blood particles containing the virus can be transmitted by air. This is not the normal idea of a virus "gone airborne." The 1918 virus (unlike AIDES) did not have to have a fluid for transmission and in fact its main mode of transmission was by air.

I don't believe the Ebola is like the 1918 flu virus (not yet...not mutated that far). But the virus can be in blood droplets that can be coughed into the air and a worker might easily breathe in the contaminated droplet.

That is most likely a fact. So to that limited degree, the virus is most likely airborne but not in the sense that could kill millions.

HI U DAVE, , , , , , , , , , , you mentioned the 1918 flu and I remember the stories my dad told. My Paw Paw required all his family to wear an Asphedia Bag as they took care of the a sick families around them in Mississippi. His family never came down with that killer virus.

I never knew what was in that bag until just now and this site has some interesting stories about folks that experienced that time.

I have a pharmacy stock whose inflammation supplements are from tobacco. After the news release today , it went up when the market went down. Thank you for adding some civility to this discussion.

====OLE ROBERT HENRY=========

Regarding your second Post, you rightly state, "While many speculate whether or not Ebola is airborne, the reality is it has not yet been conclusively demonstrated to be airborne."

That cautious and CORRECT viewpoint is a far cry from your position the day before when you wrote: "Ebola is NOT an airborne virus. Enough with the fear- mongering."

I don't see that it's a far cry at all. Regardless of the syntax, what I originally said is categorically true--that Ebola is not an airborne virus. I wasn't backing down from that, I was doubling-down when I said that it had not yet been conclusively demonstrated to be airborne. I was standing by my original statement, but since you challenged that statement, I included the fact that Ebola had not been proven to be airborne by any health organization.

And no, I hadn't read the article you cited prior to posting. When I said that "many may speculate", I was referring to you and others who speculate that Ebola is an airborne virus. I was saying that regardless of those speculations, it "had not yet been conclusively demonstrated" to be airborne.

It is "categorically true" that Ebola is not an airborne virus? Because it has "not yet been conclusively demonstrated to be airborne?" Nothing is true that has not been demonstrated to be true? "Not proven to be airborne by any health organization?" Since when are health organizations the standard of truth? If a health care organization proves Ebola to be airborne, it becomes airborne at that moment? It previously was not airborne? Is there an analogy here with "And God said, let there be light"?

Hello Nonukes;

Re the nature of Ebola...

Good points. Ebola is a respiratory disease in the form in this current manifestation. (Three others in the past.)

A commentator for the NIH on NBC only three days ago AGAIN confirmed that Ebola is respiratory! Hence, it is not only an infection that can pass by fluid, but can be emitted in the air by a cough.

An infected person can cough and not have any contact with the victim and a cough can travel 20 feet easily. This is why the service workers are wearing much protective clothing.

Ebola is not airborne as in the sense of the 1918 Flu epidemic that killed millions; but neither is Ebola like AIDS. Ebola is highly contagious.

I agree with you Dave....and the long incubation period of Ebola is going to make it very difficult, (if not impossible) to keep it from going totally global.

Time will tell I Imagine. Scary stuff, to be sure. I am going to go buy some colloidal silver this weekend. Here's to hoping we are all over reacting, but somehow....I think we are not.

Hello Carly;

Re; Ebola....

My real point is that this current manifestation of Ebola is respiratory.

Now that FACT does not mean Ebola will go global. Who knows what it will do. But the fact that this virus is focused in the respiratory center means it can spread by coughing...and hence it is not like AIDS.

So it can spread more easily than some media commentators like to admit. They continually assert that Ebola is like AIDS in that respect.

So I'm not an alarmist on the extent to which it will go. It may not be nearly as expansive as the 1918 flu virus. I'm just trying to lay out facts.

Facts are apparently hard for a lot of media commentators to admit.

The NIH has been honest and clear about the respiratory nature of the virus.

Dave, thank you for your clarity on this matter. Apparently we will not receive any clarity from the CDC. I'm not sure whether links to URLs are permissible on this site. Just in case, search "global research ebola outbreak risk of airborne contagion." Is it for the latest manifestation of Ebola that the U. S. government owns a patent? If so, that might explain the way it's developing. It isn't necessarily transmitted by personal contact, but it might share other features with the AIDS virus.

i was hoping to have a reply to this question, I think it would help other as well. thanks

Hi Cindy...My apologies to you for not answering straight away. The questions you ask are very wide ranging.

As far as I can work out, the way Ted cures viral problems is always dependent on the behaviour and structure of the specific virus concerned. To give you an idea how many different types of viruses there are out there -- see this link. His general approach is to stimulate the immune system in order to raise up immune system strength against the virus using Vitamin C, Lysine, Threonine etc as shown on EC. Other general approaches may also involve hydrogen peroxide or MMS or CS which are also good viral killers. But you can also use virus specific remedies dependent upon whether the virus is a single stranded RNA virus or double stranded DNA type or how it replicates itself.

Specific remedies can be used against enveloped viruses -- which have an outer cell wall. When they replicate, these viruses generally bud out of the host cell thus also adopting the same cell wall as the host which makes these viruses difficult to detect as the enemy by the immune system. So if you destroy the cell wall using aspirin, coconut oil, iodine etc then the virus is de-cloaked and totally exposed and their foreign protein DNA/RNA will be immediately recognized as the enemy and destroyed by the immune system.

Another specific anti-viral approach is to supplement a herb like Chanca piedra to prevent viral replication by inhibiting the virus's reverse transcriptase(replication) enzyme activity. In a British research study with kids who had both hepatitis and jaundice, it was found that just drinking the water extract of Chanca piedra returned all of their livers back to normal in five days. In another group study with Hep B, they cleared the HBV antigen in 22 out of 37 sufferers within 30 days. See all the research here. Currently, Chanca piedra is also being studied for its positive effects against cancer and HIV.

Against non-enveloped viruses, such as Ebola, its probably better to use hydrogen peroxide or MMS or CS because these work electrically and fast in the blood to destroy viruses. These remedies are also particularly good against cell wall deficient bacteria such as mycoplasma. The danger with the hemorrhagic Ebola strain is the bleeding that it causes(same as hemorrhagic Dengue). The Zaire Ebola strain killed 88% of those who caught the virus. So you have to kill this virus as fast as possible to prevent death by blood loss or organ damage. The new Ebola strain that has emerged in Africa is just as virulent.

The MERS virus is a single stranded RNA virus from the coronovirus family. which strongly resembles the SARS coronovirus. In China, as Ted has related on EC, the Chinese found that spraying their houses with just ordinary dilute vinegar killed the airborne SARS virus. Consequently, during the time of this epidemic in China, the price of a small bottle of vinegar went up to $100 in price. Ted also mentions that paracetic acid -- the combination of drops of acetic acid in hydrogen peroxide is also effective against SARS. For MERS, I would perhaps use Ted's Lysine, Vitamin C etc anti-viral or try the hydrogen peroxide or CS or MMS remedies. The MERS virus has an enveloped cell wall so other remedies such as coconut oil, aspirin, vinegar etc may also work. Another interesting fact about the SARS virus is that it is alkaline resistant. If the MERS virus, which is so similar to SARS, has this same property or resistance then alkalizing the body probably will not work against it. We'll have to wait for more research on the MERS virus.

Now to answer your other question. In the old days they used to make colloidal silver by pounding the silver into a fine powder and dumping it into a solution and then straining it. But these days, colloidal silver is best made ionically by electrolysis by just using two silver plates in solution and electricity. Nano silver is really a definition of size of the silver particle in the CS solution. In other words, both colloidal silver and ionic silver contain nano particles. For more on the difference between ionic, colloidal and nano silver see this link:

The Difference Between Ionic, Colloidal and Nano Silver

Thank you so much Bill for the great information you provide to us on earth clinic!

BHT is effective for lipid coated viruses. Not sure if it would work as well for acute infections though(?).

See: http://www.projectwellbeing.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/BHTbook-StevenWmFowkes-100903.pdf

"Currently identified lipid viruses include all herpes strains, Epstein-Barr virus, human immunodeficiency virus

(HIV, all strains), cytomegalovirus (CMV), hepatitis virus (B and C), rubella virus (German measles), varicella

virus (chicken pox), Newcastle disease virus, swine fever virus, SARS virus, West Nile virus, Ebola virus, and

influenza virus (all strains, including swine flu and bird flu viruses)."

I'm wondering how well Vitamin C therapy would work for Ebola. Take 1,000 mg of Calcium Ascorbate every hour at the onset of Ebola and it might just stop it from progressing to fullblown Ebola. If you wait till you're bleeding from every orifice, it's probably too late.

Also make sure you take Calcium Ascorbate and NOT Ascorbic Acid. The latter causes diarrhea which will dehydrate you even further, and probably make the disease even worse

Since Vit-C is poorly absorbed in the digestion, I wouldn't count on this being a life-saving or therapeutic method. Liposperic Vit-C would be recommended in this case. I make Liposperic C at home and add Lysine which would further enhance anti-viral action.

Oscar, what is "BHT?" I know people can't spell everything out all the time, but I wish occasionally people new to these kinds of sites didn't have to guess at what ACV, BHT, CS, G., MLJ, etc. are.

HI U OLE PATOOTS DOIN,,,,,,,,,, finally found an interview with Dr Rowen where he explained how he addressed Ebola in Sierra Leone a few years ago. It is totally mind boggling in that all the politicians wanted they and their family treated, but not the general public. Sounds like the good ole USA, huh? Medical treatment is now about $$$$$$ all over the world. He goes through that spiel and into all the attributes about Ozone Thearpy. My two Ozone Guru's are Dr Rowen and Dr Shallenberger, but one is a narcissus and the other is just a smart good ole boy who wants to help the world. You make that choice. They both help mankind. I encourage you to go to this site and read what Dr Rowen did, such that Ebola went from the front page to a zero. Then read what he says about this Oxidant and your immune system and health. I promise, it will astound you.
