Be sure to to watch the video and see this strong and beautiful girl.
This other article goes into more of the medical treatment. She is a nursing student and used a drip IV and had access to the drugs used to treat HIV.
"She gave him blood pressure medicine, antibiotics, analgesics for his fever and splitting headache. She even gave him an antiretroviral medicine normally used to save the lives of AIDS patients."

I may not be able to respond to your comments sent to me. But I thank you for posting them. Please send these articles to friends and family to help them prepare.
God Bless us and especially God Bless this girl who saved her God-believing family.
Sounds like she is really smart and took all the precautions she could within her situation. I would love to read about what she did exactly in each situation.
So, if “Patient Zero’s” family had taken a little better care of him...
Not buying what they are selling.
I don’t want to rain on anybody’s parade here but Ebola has been around for hundreds if not thousands of years before it was discovered by westerners(Whites)and given its name.
I’m sure there are generations of African’s that have been boor with a partial immunity to the disease.
That’s why if it gets loose in the U.S. the fatality rate will be so great.No Native Born American will have immunity to the disease and the hospitals will not be able to handle the number of patients that they will be receiving.
Thanks to Obama we’re screwed.
Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
From the article:
“.....She even gave him an antiretroviral medicine normally used to save the lives of AIDS patients.” “
No FDA or AMA to tell her what she couldn’t do.
That’s why she succeeded.
A Med student here that did the same thing as she, would be in big trouble
Here’s a pandemic movie, The Flu I watched the other day. It is from Korea and it is on a website that you must click to advance the film in eight segments and it requires no sign-ups and it is free. Unlike World War Z, which I could barely understand the audio, this comes with English captions.
I did like they acted quickly and enacted a quarantine before the virus infected the whole country. And I would like to believe that the man who spoke English and had the power to set off the bombers, was from the UN and was not American.
I couldn’t get the vid, at link, to play. Remarkable story.
I see that she got the BP meds, from the dr/clinic. I wonder where she obtained the IV drip pieces/sets. Seems like she’d need quite a supply of them.
A big breakthrough has come with the realization that one of the more lethal aspects of Ebola is from dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. So it is vital that patients get as much oral electrolyte solution in them as they can, while they can still swallow.
Being a nurse, she might have realized this intuitively, so along with her faith, she gave them the right kind of support as best she could.
And for the religious, guess where the inspiration to heal comes from.
Those must have been a hellish two weeks. Bravo and Gd bless this woman.
for future ref...Thanks!
