Here's Everything We Know About The 'Secret Serum' Used To Treat An American With Ebola

I’d recommend taking reishi mushroom tea as well to boost immune systems. Garlic too.

And there was only a half sarc in my electrolytes quote.

Yes, some of the rehydration fluids probably resemble “pedialyte” (or however it is spelled).

First, he was the hero giving the only vial of serum to Writbol while he was given a tranfusion from a 14 year old survivor who he happened to have treated. Now, he got the first vial of three serums. Which is it? Who’s lying? Why the lies? Who benefits from the lies?

Both of the Ebola-infected U.S. citizens in Liberia received a rare dose of what news reports called a "secret serum"

And just WHO told us these two folks had contracted Ebola?

Sorry, I'm not buying this story at all......The more it's broadcast the more it becomes suspicious.

How about it’s all true, the situation changing according to circumstances, medics scrambling to triage and apply whatever might buy more time and keep these courageous Americans alive? Brantly first insists that Writebol get the serum, then when his condition worsens, doctors decide he must get a dose.

There’s always honest confusion in breaking news. They call it the “fog of war.”

The big story here is really not Brantly and Writebol, but rather how much the world stands to gain through their experience as human guinea pigs.

From what we’re hearing today about Kent Brantley’s medical condition last week prior to receiving the experimental dose (gasping for air, beginning to hemorrhage, telling his caregivers that he thought he was dying, etc.), that serum may be the long-sought treatment for this awful disease.

And the victims knew they were risking their lives by agreeing to take it.

Here’s hoping that Dr. Brantly and Mrs. Writebol continue to heal and that more extensive trials prove the treatment is safe and effective on a broad scale. Kudos who the researchers who developed it, private or government-funded.
