A nigerian phamachologist in the United states Maurice iwu had actually discovered a possible cure for the ebola virus SINCE 1999. He discovered that bitter kola was able to halt the virus in laboratory tests.

Dr Maurice Iwu, who set up and
heads the Bioresources
Development and Conservation
Programme, led the research.

It started 10 years ago when
researchers were led to the plant by traditional native healers who have used the plant for the treatment of infectious diseases for centuries.

"This is a very exciting
discovery," said Dr Iwu, who
himself comes originally from a
family of traditional healers.
"The same forest that yields the
dreaded Ebola virus could be a
source of the cure."

Fighting chance
The virus multiplies rapidly in
the human body and quickly
overwhelms it, and in advanced
cases the patient develops high
fever and severe bleeding.

The Garcinia kola compound has been shown to halt multiplication of the virus in the laboratory. If repeated in humans, this would give the body a chance to fight off the virus.

The active compound is what is
known as a dimeric flavonoid,
which is two flavonoid
molecules fused together.
Flavonoids are non-toxic and
can be found in orange and
lemon rinds as well as the
colourings of other plants.

Drug hopes
The tests are in the early stages
still, but the researchers hope
that if they continue to prove
successful the compound the
US Food and Drug
Administration will put it on a
fast track - making a drug
available to humans within a
matter of years.

"The discovery of these
important properties in a
simple compound - flavonoids -
was very surprising," said Dr
Iwu.

how come no one is talking about it

galadima77: how come no one is talking about it

There are a number of possible cures they are not talking about. A german lab scientist was successfully treated about 4years ago when she got infected in the lab by a contaminated needle that pricked her finger. Several tests have been successful in the laboratories and even on a number of humans. Just google them up. You can read on ebola virus on wikipedia and you will see that therebis hope (sort of).

Story, story!

If there be some sort of cure for the Virus,Why are the scientist quiet about it and creating fear in the minds of people with the name of "NO CURE" for the Virus....Smh for some people on how they behave and reason......
