Most people with Ebola don’t die from bleeding, but from dehydration leading to hypovolemic shock and organ failure.

Simple rehydration solutions might make a big difference in survival rates, constant replenishment of fluids before shock sets in.

If you can link to any studies suggesting that Vitamin C depletion is a factor in Ebola disease, I would appreciate it.

Here is a link for an interview with a doctor saying that Vitamin stores are wiped out by Ebola and other hemorrhagic fevers. There were no scientific references listed, but Dr. Levy’s book is listed at the end. I Googled “Vitamin C stores destroyed by Ebola Virus” and several things came up saying that happened, but I did not see a scientific reference on the first page.

I found a mention of the Cecil Textbook of Medicine as being a source for the destruction of body stores of Vitamin C. Regarding “instant scurvy”, the breakdown of soft tissue like blood vessels is much more rapid than the damage to bone which causes teeth to become loose. Also Ebola is reported to break down platelets and causing failure of clotting. Lots of info at Google, but having a hard time finding specific medical/scientific sources.
