Ebola is a deadly disease and victims killed by the severe hemorrhagic fever it causes. It was featured in the movie Outbreak. There are five species of Ebola: Bundibugyo , Zaïre, Sudan, Côte d'Ivoire and Reston. The hemorrhagic fever creates an excessive amount of blood clots in the body the eventually leads to organ failure. Ebola is a very serious disease. Ebolla treatment is generally not successful in quashing this virus. It is usually fatal and kills approximately eight of the ten people who contract it.
Patients experiencing Ebola symptoms can easily become dehydrated. These patients may need fluids intravenously as a part of their Ebola treatment plan and should be given beverages with electrolytes, such as sport drinks, if they are available. You can make a home made electrolyte beverage to treat your patient. Mix one liter of water with both one teaspoon salt and eight teaspoons of sugar.
Antibiotics do not help to alleviate the symptoms of this virus. Care givers should use gloves when handling dishes and linens from the infected patient. Both the patient and the care giver should wash and disinfect their hands often.
There are some folk remedies that supposedly save the patient from almost certain death. West African medicine men have been a concocting a remedy that includes the fruit of the Bitter Kola tree. It is not a vaccine but this Ebola treatment seems to disrupt its normal cycle of replication in recent laboratory testing.
Medical researchers are working on a new Ebola treatment. This innovative Ebola treatment does not prevent someone from contracting Ebola. Monkeys, once infected, are injected with an anti-coagulant factor called rNAPc2 for up to two weeks. This new treatment is not a cure but has increased the dismal survival rates.
