Interest lay, the article says Africa has no way to monitor electrolytes.
My prescription.....Gator Aid and Duct Tape. Fix anything that needs fixin’.
A couple more articles like this and every person in Africa will be landing in Dallas. More “refugees”. America! The “refugee” camp to the world!!!
I suspect that it will be the same as for AIDS - Europeans have a genetic protection because of prior pandemics in Europe that provide them with some protection.
White Americans will not be as hard hit as American Indians, Blacks or Asians.

I was not aware the two infected that had received zmapp died anyway.
The first two paragraphs are written in a twisted fashion, to debunk faith in God, when there was no reason to.
The only other possible good thing about electrolytes is that the ions will tend to kill viruses. There is decent supporting science for taking copper, zinc, iron or other metals to produce ions to kill flu and other viruses. Silver, lead, mercury, etc, work too but those will also kill you. The nontoxic metals are also toxic in higher quantities. There are no silver bullets so to speak.
Since when does NBC give any credence to faith or faith medicine?
This is just an attempt to sway the public that they have discovered something “new”, but anyone who has massive vomiting and diarrhea goes into electrolyte imbalance and the treatment is electrolytes via IV to restore balance. The doctor, Brantley, was treated by injecting antibodies into his system from the blood of a boy who contracted ebola and lived because his immune system somehow managed to produce antibodies to the virus. The doc had the boy’s blood serum antibodies injected into him.
This NBC article on electrolyte replacement is just blabber. It’s always done, but won’t help if your body is hemorrhaging and your clotting factors are done for.
