WHO chief Margaret Chan
said the Ebola epidemic is out of control. “The virus attacks the body’s
soft tissues — a process some doctors describe, bluntly, as like watching
a patient ‘dissolve,” Tribune correspondent Paul Salopek reported during a
2000 outbreak. There is no cure. No effective treatment. No vaccine. The
rest of the world, a plane ride or two away, shudders. As with previous
outbreaks, the virus shows no mercy. Ebola kills up to 90 percent of its
victims with astonishing swiftness.”
Standard treatment
involves providing relief of Ebola symptoms while the body fights the
infection. This type of treatment is known as supportive care. The
current outbreak has caused more deaths than any other on
record, said an official from the Doctors without Borders,
meaning with sixty to ninety percent dying from Ebola one would think
that the medical establishment would open its ears to solutions that make
scientific sense. Virologists are so caught up in the faulty vaccine
paradigm that they cannot see the forest from the trees in terms of what
will work. In the case of Ebola there is no vaccine and will not be one
for a few years.
Those entering treatment
centers do not get medicine, but they are rehydrated with medical drips.
The Ebola outbreak ravaging West Africa is thought to be 'totally out of
control' and doctors are stretched to the limit in their attempts to
respond to the disease with their present approach that leaves most of
their patients dead. Medical officials like to blame the virus but part
of those deaths stem from their own ignorance and refusal to look more
deeply at alternatives.
Presently Ebola treatments
typically involve the use of intravenous fluids, antibiotics, and oxygen.
Treatment may also include the use of medications to control fever, help
the blood clot, and maintain blood pressure. Even with such supportive
care, death occurs in 50 to 90% of people with Ebola.
- Intravenous
(IV) fluids to maintain fluids and electrolytes (sodium, potassium,
and chloride)
- Oxygen
and devices that help with breathing
- Medications
to control fever, help the blood clot, and maintain blood pressure
- Antibiotics
to prevent secondary infections from bacteria
- Good
nursing care.
Ebola is caused by a
virus, rather than bacteria, and researchers in general have had a harder
time developing treatments for viral diseases, compared with bacterial
diseases, said Derek Gatherer, a bioinformatics researcher at Lancaster
University in the United Kingdom who studies virus genetics and
evolution. The Ebola virus attacks immune cells, and can cause the immune
system to run out of control and release a "storm" of inflammatory molecules, which
cause tiny blood vessels to burst, Gatherer said. This blood-vessel
damage can cause blood pressure to drop, and lead to multiple-organ
failure, Gatherer said.
Nutritional Law and Medicine
It has long been apparent
that an increased susceptibility to infectious diseases is common in malnourished
human populations. This has traditionally been viewed as simply a
consequence of the fact that the immune system must be maintained by
adequate nutrition in order to function optimally. Only recently has data
begun to accumulate in support of the idea that nutritional factors may sometimes have a direct effect on
pathogens, and that passage through nutritionally deficient hosts may
facilitate evolutionary changes in infectious agents.[1]
The mechanisms of cell
death, apoptosis, necrosis, pyroptosis, or autophagic cell death depends
on a cells ability to cope with the conditions to which it is exposed.
The adaptive capacity of a cell ultimately determines its
fate when it comes under stress. The strength or what we can call a cells
adaptive capacity is directly related to nutritional sufficiency and
proper cellular respiration that removes all toxins and wastes through
the cell wall.
Patients who are
critically ill with Ebola have high nutritional requirements that need to
be addressed. Nutritional feeding is critical to patient outcome. Natural
Allopathic Medicine takes a different approach than contemporary
medicine. Instead of using toxic pharmaceuticals that diminish the immune
system by further driving down nutritional status we use we treat and
cure through the fulfillment of nutritional law.
We do not need to develop
expensive drugs waiting while millions potentially die. Right in the
emergency room are already excellent medicines that doctors are familiar
with that save lives every day. Nutritional medicine is safer and more
effective than pharmaceutical medicine. Just ask an emergency-room or
intensive-care-ward doctor right after he has injected magnesium chloride
or sodium bicarbonate to save someone’s life.
With Ebola raging in
Africa and threatening the rest of the world it is inexcusable that
medical and health officials continue to frown on the use of
un-patentable medicines like those mentioned above. The substances in
the Natural Allopathic protocol for Ebola offer a power unequalled in the
world of medicine that we can harness to save many lives of
people infected with Ebola. However, some people would enjoy seeing
millions if not billions of people die to reduce population down to a
more manageable level. Others would rather stick with their professional
pride or obedience to medical officials and let patients die than even
think of what should work to decrease the death rate from Ebola. It
really would be a shame if the medical world stands by and lets this
pandemic take hold.
The secrets of emergency
room and intensive care medicine holds the key to resolving Ebola.
Magnesium salts, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), iodine, selenium and
vitamin C are concentrated nutritional medicinals that have been used in
the direst of medical circumstances. They are widely available,
inexpensive and safe to administer round the clock at high dosages.
The core of the Natural
Allopathic protocol redefines the way emergency room and intensive care
should be practiced on Ebola patients with proven fast-acting, safe,
concentrated and mostly injectable nutritional medicines. If the Ebola
infection truly gets out of hand, it is comforting for parents to know
that they can legally administer these same medicinals if infected people
are treated at home. All of the Natural Allopathic Medicines can be also
taken orally or used transdermally (topically) to almost the same effect
if treatment is started early enough.
People who either choose
home care or have no other option need to treat everyone in the home at
the same time whether demonstrating symptoms or not. Waiting for the
contagion to spread inside a family, or with health care professionals in
hospitals and clinics, is unwise. The main idea is to get out in front of
the virus.
Resolving Cytokine Storms with Selenium
The highly pathogenic
Zaire strain of the Ebola virus may be dependent on the trace mineral
selenium (Se), due to the presence in the Ebola genome of several open
reading frames (ORFs) containing clusters of up to 17 inframe UGA codons,
which potentially encode the rare amino acid selenocysteine (SeC). This
raises the possibility that Se deficiency in host populations may actually foster
viral replication, possibly triggering outbreaks linked and perhaps
even facilitating the emergence of more virulent viral strains. [2]
Selenium is a strong antioxidant and
anti-inflammatory that can control the cytokine storms provoked from out
of control infections. The clinical investigations in sepsis studies indicate that higher
doses of selenium are well tolerated as continuous infusions of
selenium as sodium selenite (4,000 μg selenium as sodium selenite
pentahydrate on the first day, 1,000 μg selenium/day on the nine
following days) and had no reported toxicity issues. In view of this new
information, Biosyn introduced the 1,000 µg dose vials for such
high selenium clinical usage.
The primary symptoms of a
cytokine storms are high fever, swelling and redness, extreme fatigue and
nausea. In Ebola a combination of factors lead to death so we chose a
combination approach that deals with all the factors. In Ebola the
immune reaction may be fatal with cytokine storms. To stop the cytokine
storms and acute respiratory distress inject selenium or force the world
of medicine to produce Dr. Emanuel Revici’s liposomal selenium, which can
be administered orally in extraordinarily high dosages, much higher than
is available through injections.
Dr. Revici’s greatest
discovery was that if we want to deliver a nutrient to a sick cell –
attach it to a fat. Unsaturated fats are the ultimate and perfect
vehicle to deliver nutrients to stressed cells. This
discovery enabled Dr. Revici to package therapeutic minerals, at will, to
delivery only to sick cells. This gave him a huge advantage as a therapy
developer – especially with selenium.
Revici used a special
molecular form of selenium (bivalent-negative selenium) incorporated in a
molecule of fatty acid. In this form, he can administer up to 1 gram of
selenium per day, which corresponds to 1 million micrograms per day,
reportedly with no toxic side effects. In contrast, too much selenite
(hexavalent-positive selenium) has toxic effects on animals, so human
intake of commercial selenite is limited to a dosage of only 100 to 150
micrograms by mouth. Dr. Revici often administered his nontoxic form of
selenium by injection, usually considered to be four times more powerful
than the form given orally.
The last 25 years the
average daily selenium intake has fallen from 60µg/day to 35µg/day.
The UK government has established a Reference Nutrient Intake (RNI) level
of selenium at 75µg/day. Therefore a nutritional gap now exists
between the actual recommended level of daily selenium and what people
are actually achieving through their diets.[3]
I believe I am the only
doctor who has written a book on Selenium. I have safely used dosages on
myself of a special form of selenium 100 times what would
normally be thought of as rational to great effect. Selenium influences
both the innate, "non-adaptive" and the acquired,
"adaptive" immune systems[4]-[5]-[6]-[7]-[8]
The innate immune system includes barriers to infection and nonspecific
effector cells such as macrophages. Both the T and B lymphocytes form the
major effector cells of the acquired system that mature with exposure to
immune challenges.
Selenium-deficient
lymphocytes are less able to proliferate in response to mitogen, and in macrophages,
leukotriene B4 synthesis, which is essential for neutrophil chemotaxis,
is impaired by this deficiency. These processes can be improved by
selenium supplementation. The humoral system is also affected by selenium
deficiency; for example, IgM, IgG and IgA titers are decreased in rats,
and IgG and IgM titers are decreased in humans. In endothelial cells from
asthmatics, there is a marked selenium deficiency that results in an
increase in expression of adhesion molecules, which causes greater
adhesion of neutrophils.[9]
Selenium is also involved
in several key metabolic activities through its selenoprotein enzymes
that protect against oxidative damage.[10] Further, selenium
deficiency may allow invading viruses to mutate and cause longer-lasting,
more severe illness.[11] Animal research has shown
selenium and vitamin E have synergistic effects, enhancing the body’s
response to bacterial[12] and parasitic infections.[13]
In that selenium is a
potent immune stimulator is an 18-month study of 262 patients with AIDS
that found those who took a daily capsule containing 200 micrograms of
selenium ended up with lower levels of the AIDS virus and more
health-giving CD4 immune system cells in their bloodstreams than those
taking a dummy pill.
These AIDS
patients who took selenium were able to suppress the deadly virus in
their bodies and boost their fragile immune systems, adding to evidence
that selenium has healing powers we need to pay attention to in treating
Ebola patients.[14] Those with severely
compromised immune systems due to AIDS had dramatically better immune
system response with selenium supplementation and this finding is
consistent with the information presented by the NIH on their selenium
web site.
Magnesium for Acute Illness
Magnesium chloride (magnesium oil) has always been and remains my
favorite first line medicine that affects overall physiology. Dr. Raul Vergini from Italy says, “Magnesium
chloride has a unique healing power on acute viral and
bacterial diseases. It cured polio and diphtheria and that was the main
subject of my magnesium book. A few grams of magnesium chloride every few
hours will clear nearly most acute illnesses, which can be beaten in a
few hours. I have seen a lot of flu cases healed in 24-48
hours with 3 grams of magnesium chloride taken every 6-8 hours.”
My recommendation would be to follow Dr. Vergini’s suggestion and
augmenting that with Transdermal Magnesium Therapy. The
second edition of Transsdermal Magnesium Therapy is also available in
hardcopy from Amazon.com.
Hemorrhagic Infections Resolved with Vitamin C
Ebola virus was initially
recognized in 1976. Other less known but related viral syndromes, that
can be treated with this protocol include yellow fever, dengue
hemorrhagic fever, Rift Valley fever, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever,
Kyasanur Forest disease, Omsk hemorrhagic fever, hemorrhagic fever with
renal syndrome, Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, Venezuelan hemorrhagic
fever, Brazilian hemorrhagic fever, Argentine hemorrhagic fever, Bolivian
hemorrhagic fever, and Lassa fever. The Ebola virus infection, also known
as African hemorrhagic fever, has the distinction of having the highest
case-fatality rate of the viral infections noted above, ranging from 53%
to 88%.
To date, no viral
infection has been demonstrated to be resistant to the proper dosing of vitamin C as classically
demonstrated by Klenner. However, not all viruses have been treated with
Klenner-sized vitamin C doses, or at least the results have not been
published. Ebola viral infection and the other acute viral hemorrhagic
fevers appear to be diseases that fall into this category. Because of the
seemingly exceptional ability of these viruses to rapidly deplete vitamin
C stores, even larger doses of vitamin C would likely be required in
order to effectively reverse and eventually cure infections caused by
these viruses.[15]
Cathcart (1981), who
introduced the concept of bowel tolerance to vitamin C hypothesized that Ebola and the other acute viral hemorrhagic fevers may
well require 500,000 mg of vitamin C daily to reach bowel tolerance!
Whether this estimate is accurate, it seems clear as evidenced by the
scurvy-like clinical manifestations of these infections that vitamin C
dosing must be vigorous and given in extremely high doses. If the disease
seems to be winning, then even more vitamin C should be given until
symptoms begin to lessen. Obviously, these are viral diseases that would
absolutely require high doses of vitamin C intravenously as the initial
therapy. The oral administration should begin simultaneously, but the
intravenous route should not be abandoned until the clinical response is
complete.[16] Death occurs too quickly with
the hemorrhagic fevers to be conservative when dosing the vitamin C.
Viral hemorrhagic fevers
typically only take hold and reach epidemic proportions in those
populations that would already be expected to have low body stores of
vitamin C, such as is found in many of the severely malnourished
Africans. In such individuals, an infecting hemorrhagic virus will often
wipe out any remaining vitamin C stores before the immune systems can get
the upper hand and initiate recovery. When the vitamin C stores are
rapidly depleted by large infecting doses of an aggressive virus, the
immune system gets similarly depleted and compromised.
According to Dr. Thomas
Levy, M.D. “Many viral infectious diseases have been cured and can
continue to be cured by the proper administration of Vitamin C.
Yes, the vaccinations for these treatable infectious diseases are
completely unnecessary when one has the access to proper treatment with
vitamin C. And, yes, all the side effects of vaccinations...are also
completely unnecessary since the vaccinations do not have to be given in
the first place with the availability of properly dosed vitamin C."[17]
Intravenous vitamin C is a powerful treatment when
people are on the edge between life and death from hemorrhagic fevers
with the power to bring people back from the brink. Vitamin C (ascorbic
acid) is known to perform many critical functions within the body
involving detoxification, tissue building, immune enhancement, pain
control, and controlling or killing pathogenic organisms.
Dr Robert Cathcart, who
has more experience treating deadly infections with high dose vitamin C
than any other doctor, says “the Ebola virus kills by way of free
radicals which can be neutralized by massive doses of sodium ascorbate
intravenously. Note on another hemorrhagic fever (acute induced scurvy):
Nurse Pineo, the first white that survived the Lassa fever (another
hemorrhagic fever) outbreak in Lassa, was, on her own, taking vitamins.[18]
It does not take a genius to figure out that with the increased bowel
tolerance to oral ascorbic acid somewhat proportional to the toxicity of
the disease that the most serious infectious diseases would rapidly
exhaust all the bodies vitamin C, acute induced scurvy, and cause
bleeding all over the body and finally free radical deaths.
Dr. Robert Cathcart M.D. states “My experience with
giving massive doses of ascorbic acid orally to over 30,000 patients and
with giving intravenous sodium ascorbate to over 2,000 patients would
indicate that with Ebola and other viral hemorrhagic fever diseases that
should be used in doses beginning with at least 180 grams per 24 hours.
If the fever is not controlled or the symptoms are not reduced, the
dosage and the rate of administration should be increased until they are
controlled.”
Sodium Bicarbonate Rides to the Rescue
“In 1918 and 1919 while fighting
the ‘Flu’ with the U. S. Public Health Service it was brought to my
attention that rarely anyone who had been thoroughly alkalinized with bicarbonate of soda contracted the disease, and those
who did contract it, if alkalinized early, would invariably have mild
attacks. I have since that time treated all cases of ‘cold,’ influenza
and ‘la gripe’ by first giving generous doses of bicarbonate of soda, and
in many, many instances within 36 hours the symptoms would have entirely
abated,” wrote Dr. Volney S. Cheney to the Arm & Hammer Company.
Dr. Revici also discovered
pH modulation as the key to pain control and disease containment. A
localized pH imbalance causes both pain and stress to nearby tissues. As
the stress weakens nearby tissues, they become vulnerable. This is
crucial because inflammation from pH imbalance interferes with oxygen
delivery to nearby tissues, which in turn weakens nearby cells again
increasing vulnerability. Control of the regional pH imbalance helps to
contain pathology – by protecting nearby cells from chemical burns from
pH imbalance.
Slowing the breathing down
with a Breathslim breathing device will also work strongly
to reinforce the actions of sodium bicarbonate—it will increase carbon
dioxide as well as oxygen levels—while providing calming comfort.
Vitamin D – Perfect Helpmate to Vitamin C
Vitamin D reduces the risk of dying from a viral infection.
Researchers from Winthrop University Hospital in Mineola, New York found
that giving supplements of vitamin D to a group of volunteers reduced
episodes of infection with colds and flu by 70% over three years.
The researchers said that vitamin D stimulates “innate immunity”
to viruses and bacteria. Very few have any idea that Vitamin D
can be taken in high dosages like Vitamin C can.
Never Forget Iodine
“Extremely high doses of iodine can have serious side effects,
but only a small fraction of such extreme doses are necessary to
kill influenza viruses,” writes Dr. David Derry of Canada. In 1945, a
breakthrough occurred when J. D. Stone and Sir McFarland Burnet (who
later went on to win a Nobel Prize for his Clonal Selection Theory)
exposed mice to lethal effects of influenza viral mists. Pathology
was prevented by putting iodine solution on mice snouts just prior to
placing them in chambers containing influenza viruses. Dr. Derry
also reminds us that a long time ago students in classrooms were
protected from influenza by iodine aerosol therapy. Aerosol iodine also
is effective against freshly sprayed influenza virus.
Medical Marijuana
Dr. Ben Whalley, at the department of pharmacy at the
University of Reading, said tests in animals had shown the marijuana
compounds effective at preventing seizures and convulsions while
also having fewer side effects than existing epilepsy drugs. At the
National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Md., rat nerve cells
were exposed to a toxin that is typically released during strokes.
Cannabidiol reduces the extent of damage reported the National Academy of
Sciences. More effective than vitamins C or E, strong antioxidants such as
cannabidiol (CBD) will
neutralize free radicals without the accompanying high with
regular marijuana used for recreational and other medical purposes. All
forms of marijuana have anti-oxidative, neuroprotective,
immunomodulation, analgesic and anti-inflammatory actions.
Infrared therapy increases core body temperature. By
raising the body temperature by one to three degrees, an infrared session
mimics a fever, which triggers an immune system response and enables the
body to fight bacteria and viruses.
According to Professor Abo
Touru of Nagata University our immune functions are improved by 40% when
we increase our body temperature by 1 degree. Infrared heat (light
induced heat) relieves pain by expanding blood vessels
and increasing blood circulation. Better circulation carries off
metabolic waste products and delivers oxygen-rich blood to oxygen
depleted cells, reduces pain and speeds up the healing process.
Having BioMats installed in every hospital bed would insure
that fewer die from Ebola nor from the avian or any flu. Bathing patients
in light and heating their internal environments boosts their metabolism
and improve their immune systems. Patients in bed can use low levels of
infrared around the clock making them comfortable and dealing with the
chills that often come with high fevers.
If one can afford to
purchase a BioMat for home use know it is extraordinarily helpful for the
patient to be comforted by light and heat. The sicker we are the greater
the comfort. Whether it be Ebola or the common flu there is nothing like
laying on a BioMat when one is sick.
''It seems clear that light
is the most important environmental input, after food, in controlling
bodily function,'' reported Richard J. Wurtman, a nutritionist
at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Several experiments have
shown that different colors affect blood pressure, pulse and respiration
rates as well as brain activity and biorhythms. Light heals, light
comforts, light nurtures us on deep levels.
Glutathione
According to Dr. Russell
Blaylock, low magnesium is associated with dramatic increases in free
radical generation as well as glutathione depletion. According to Dr.
Patricia Kongshavn, former professor, department of medicine at McGill
University, “Glutathione is required in many of the intricate steps
needed to carry out an immune response. It is needed for the lymphocytes
to multiply in order to develop a strong immune response, and for killer
lymphocytes to be able to kill undesirable cells such as cancer cells or virally
infected cells. The importance of glutathione cannot be overstated. It
has multiple roles as indicated and, indeed, as one examines each system
or organ more closely, the necessity for glutathione becomes increasingly
evident.
Glutathione values decline
with age and higher values in older people are seen to correlate with
better health, underscoring the importance of this remarkable substance
for maintaining a healthy, well-functioning body.”
Conclusion
These emergency-room-class
medicinals and therapeutic processes deliver lifesaving-healing power.
When one learns about the above intensive care medicines, and how to use
them, one gains a lot of medical power and wisdom to overcome the
complications and even discomforts of the worst viral infections. For
more information about these selected intensive care medicines please see
videos and references to suppliers on the Natural Allopathic Protocol page.
There are always other medicinals one can employ. However when
practicing emergency and intensive care medicine one wants to select the
most powerful substances that are quick acting and safe to take at high
dosages. I also recommend that physicians and other healthcare
professionals as well as every household to have a good nebulizer and use a high-grade colloidal silver as well as a sodium bicarbonate glutathione product alternating
between the two.
Kent Brantly, the
Ebola-stricken American doctor who was flown back to the United States
from Liberia, "seems to be improving," Tom Frieden, head of the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Sunday. Not everyone is
going to die of the disease meaning there is hope and treatments that can
increase the odds that one will survive this extremely nasty disease.
Brantly was treated with
an experimental drug that has not been tested for safety
had to be flown in at subzero temperatures. Though impractical for home
use and unproven, it proves this disease can be beaten. Natural
Allopathic Medicine offers proven safe medicines immediately available to
all.
