Nigerian Scientist Develops Trial Ebola Drug, 'nano Silver' by bolaji73(m): 9:12am On Aug 15, 2014
Nigerian scientist develops trial Ebola drug,
'Nano Silver' for the treatment of Ebola Virus
Disease
The Federal Government is to receive Nano
Silver trial drug for the treatment of Ebola Virus
Disease patients, it was learnt.
The drug is from a Nigerian scientist living in
the diaspora.
Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu
said yesterday at a Press Briefing in Abuja said
it has been used experimentally for many
things.
A Nigerian contagious disease expert, Dr. Simon
Agwale, had said that Nano Silva had proven
effective against viruses, bacteria, and
parasites. “It may be also a source of a cure” for
Ebola patients, Agwale said.
Nano Silva oral, according to
www.indiamart.com, is a dietary supplement
providing nano (10nm) scaled silver particles in
pure hydro solution.
Reports confirm that Nano Silva Oral kills the
deadliest bacteria tested so far.
US major universities like UC Davis, Kansas, UT
have proven the effectiveness of the product in
killing thousands of strains of Staphaureus, T.B,
Strepaureus, E. Colli, Salmonella, yeast and even
anthrax spores and so on.
Nano Silva Oral is the only non-toxic product-
proven to kill anthrax spores. Test reveal
successful efficacy of Nano Cell Silver in
combating malaria, bird flu among others.
Nano Ag+ ruptures and penetrates the cell wall
membranes and interacts with sulphur and
phosphorous compounds of DNA, inhibiting the
replication of bacteria.
The strong positive ionic charge of silver
enhances additional bactericidal effect, thereby
killing the bacteria totally.
The other well known experimental drug is
ZMapp, which was given earlier to two
Americans infected with virus.
WHO opened the door for experimental Ebola
drugs earlier this week, after a panel of
ethicists it convened condoned such treatments
because of the challenges of controlling the
outbreak that has killed more than 1,000 people.
The Health minister told journalists in Abuja
that Nigeria had so far recorded four Ebola
deaths. The four are Sawyer, who is the index
case, two nurses and an ECOWAS protocol
officer, Jatto Abdulqudir .
Chukwu said, “Out of these, four have died and
six are currently under treatment. It is
important to note that the number of confirmed
cases remains 10 as of today (Thursday).
“The fourth death recorded today (Thursday)
was a nurse, who participated in the initial
management of the index case(Sawyer).
“The total number of persons under surveillance
in Lagos is now 169. These are all secondary
contacts as all the primary contacts have
completed the 21-day incubation period and
have been delisted to resume their normal
lives.”
He added that Enugu State has six persons
under surveillance because 15 out of those
quarantined after complete evaluation were
found not to have had any contact with a nurse
who allegedly disobeyed medical advice and
travelled to Enugu.
He said the nurse, who was “a primary contact
of the index case who became symptomatic and
tested positive and is one of the 10 confirmed
cases.”
Chukwu said,” The nurse who had been placed
under surveillance in Lagos disobeyed the
Incidence Management Committee and travelled
to Enugu.
“At the time she made the trip, she was yet to
show any symptom and did not infect anyone on
her way as transmission of the disease is only
possible when a carrier of the virus becomes ill.
“However, she has since been brought back to
Lagos. Before her return journey, she had
become symptomatic and had to be conveyed to
Lagos with her spouse in special ambulances.
“The husband is not symptomatic neither is he
positive for the EVD but he has been
quarantined given the intimate contact with her
while in Enugu. It is therefore important to
emphasise that there is no EVD in Enugu State.
