Health / Re: Hot Water And Salt Solution For Ebola - Whats Your Say? by owken(m): 9:37am On Aug 08, 2014
dozzybaba: Everyone is talking about it. The salt and water treatment is not far-fetched.

Management of Ebola patients requires rehydrating of body fluids(water) and physiological electolytes Sodium(Na+) and Chlorine (Cl-), two electrolytes found in Salt.

Also Viruses hardly survive in vito chlorination. So it's not difficult to see the common sense in it. Though i don't think it is usually sustainable as a mode of treatment, but as a preventive measure it may be adopted if it's we've got.

if it were true, don't u think d casulties of about 937 persons would have not gotten to that number, or u think experts on medicine haven't done research?
Health / Re: Salt Therapy For Ebola- Dangerous Rumour by owken(m): 9:16am On Aug 08, 2014
darqly: So someone woke my wife this morning urging her to bathe us all in salt water, and also rub salt ALL over ourselves to stave off the Ebola virus. Needless to say we have been arguing over this as she has already polished our son with table salt since the warning came from her mum angry
Why are some people just causing unnecessary panic and peddling same on social media?
Today's gonna be a loooong day.

Its gonna really be a long day, rumours spread faster than facts.
