If they have a patent, then they have a cure. Most everyone scoffs at the notion that Ebola’s mode of destruction is using up the bodies Vitamin C supplies, which causes, initially scurvy and then vascular tissue failure and death. In theory, Vitamin C could be there, inconvenient treatment that allows our own bodies the time to cure itself.

I couldn't understand what you were talking about until I realized that "bodies" = "body's". Searching on "ebola destroys Vitamin C" I find this:

Moreover, Robert F. Cathcart III, MD, proposes the idea that an Ebola infection is likened to acute induced scurvy, which causes intense internal bleeding and subsequent free radical death. Interestingly, vitamin C is considered the cure for scurvy. In his clinical experience, the high dosage of oral vitamin C (ascorbic acid) required to combat Ebola is unrealistic due to bowel intolerance. However, intravenous sodium ascorbate (at least 180 grams per 24 hours) is an outstanding alternative. A full overview of the protocol can be found here.

My impression is that intravenous Vitamin C therapy is not widely available and can be very expensive.

Do you know anything about it?
