Ebola Clinic Is Looted In Liberian Capital's Largest Slum (virus stolen!)
Huff Po ^

MONROVIA, Liberia (AP) — Liberian officials fear Ebola could soon spread through the capital's largest slum after residents raided a quarantine center for suspected patients and took items including blood-stained sheets and mattresses.

The violence in the West Point slum occurred late Saturday and was led by residents angry that patients were brought from other parts of the capital to the holding center, Tolbert Nyenswah, assistant health minister, said Sunday. It was not immediately clear how many patients had been at the center.

West Point residents went on a "looting spree," stealing items from the clinic that were likely infected, said a senior police official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the press. The residents took mattresses, sheets and blankets that had bloodstains, which could spread the infection.

I’d be easy to get ebola by handling food products handled by someone with ebola. Not so much the food but the packaging could easily retain sweat or even blood, vomit, or feces.

Heck the typical gas pump handle has Ecoli on it.

“They’re making Furgeson look positively sane. Each one now has the potential to develop the Ebola virus and die within a month or so. That’ll show ‘em!”

Would the looters in Ferguson carry away all the stuff they are stealing if it was contaminated with the Ebola virus?
(Note: There is a cure for Ebola, even if there is not a cure for stupidity. More on this in my next post on this thread.)

In an earlier post on this thread I said I would comment further on ‘There is a cure for Ebola’.

I have known for some time that Ebola was/is a pandemic catastrophe in Africa. It should not be so in most of what is outside the ‘third world’. Ebola is not some mysterious new disease that will kill everything in its path. Ebola is a virus. In this case it causes hemorrhagic fever. Ebola is one of several hemorrhagic fevers. Those whose immune systems are shot, or if so and do not get proper treatment, bleed to death internally.

Ebola and all viruses are able to attack those whose immune systems are ‘shot’...not up to par, as it were. Many in the third world and especially in Africa have such immune systems. Ebola and many other disease run rampant, then run its course. Many die.

I listened to Dr Thomas Levy, MD, Cardiologist today and he explained in detail the difference between Africa and here. He explained the cure. Yes, CURE.

I will summarize here what I learned from Dr Levy. And btw, I know something about Dr Levy. I have read his books. I have communicated with him. I have confidence and trust in what he says, because it is based on science.

Our immune systems in this country are many times stronger than those in the part of the Third World being devastatingly attacked by Ebola. It has a lot to do with diet and nutrition. We are blessed, even with the somewhat malnourished segments of our population with nutritional antioxidants in our diet many times that of those who are in the succumbing part of Africa’s population.

And antioxidants in the diet give us resistance to even the onset of this disease if we are exposed. There is one supplemental antioxidant that may be more important...Vitamin C. The RDA for Vitamin C is 60 mg. This is a small fraction of what we need. RDA should be 5,000+ mg. And if we are ‘infected’ with Ebola we need many time that. A person infected with Ebola can be cured, in most cases with IV-C ranging from 100,000 to 250,000 mg per day (100 to 250 gms).

There are various ways to get Vitamin C. Intravenous (IV), liposomal, or oral sodium ascorbate. If available, all should be used.

Individually, without a doctor to administer IV-C, the options are liposomal and oral sodium ascorbate or ascorbic acid. We make our own liposomal Vitamin C. It is actually more effective than IV-C (lower dosing required), according to Dr Levy.

There are other supplemental antioxidants in the diets of many of us that will help strengthen our immune systems to fight off viral diseases, including Ebola.

This is not the time to panic. It is the time to think about our own nutritional state and to think about supplements that will strengthen our immune systems.

Only humans, other primates, guinea pigs and bats do not make their own vitamin C. The livers of the mammals that do make their own vitamin C increase production when the animal is stressed. So should we!

I’m in no position to argue, nor would I want to, with Dr Levy. The idea that Western immune systems are stronger thanks to our diet, and increasing Vitamin c, would help to both protect us from the virus and potentially provide a cure makes sense. I know we take Vitamin C here, and up it in winter, tho not to the levels you’ve shown, just to deal with common colds. Thanks for the info..

We make our own liposomal Vitamin C. I sent you a private reply with instructions for making it.

Vitamin D is also very important. Keep your Vitamin D3 levels up. Get what you can from sun exposure. We supplement 10,000 iu a day of D3. And that is year round. Here in northeastern Ohio we do not get much from the sun.

Other things too...Astazanthin, for instance.

Yes, D3 is an absolute necessity. We do 10,000 IU per day of D3, and we also get what sun exposure we can...difficult here in NE Ohio, though, for most of the year.

D3 is indeed an Antibiotic Vitamin!

I take 10,000IU of D3 a day too.

Doctor had me on 50,000IU a day for a while.

We can tolerate 50,000 IU of D3 a day, but it should be monitored with lab tests at that highe dosage. I do not believe we need to monitor when we are at 10,000 IU a day.

I know a medical doctor who has been on 50,000 IU a day for a year or more, with no toxicity effects. He also monitors his blood levels.

That’s one reason to grow your own food. We started doing that so that we would have good food without pesticides, but it fits right in with prepping for emergencies too.

We have garden plans that will provide a completely sound nutritional diet, and have learned to grow them and use various methods to preserve them.

We have the space to increase our garden’s size should we ever need to rely soly on what we can grow.
