This study was done in glass cultures not in live mammals. I don't know if it has ever been tested on living mammals. The study's conclusion was that colloidal silver neutralizes the Ebola virus.
I am not a doctor nor do I play one. I could be misreading this report. The question I have is why isn't the study more widely known and discussed.
Here is an article I found on that study.

Silver has been used as an antimicrobial agent for thousands of years – the Romans used to use silverware to reduce food and drink-borne infection. More recently, nanoparticles of silver have been used in everything from food containers to socks in an attempt to imbue them with microbe-killing properties.
When used in the right way, the material certainly does exhibit antimicrobial properties. But there’s a massive jump from odor-resistant socks to curing Ebola patients.
This is a really good link thanks!
There are some aspects to the Ebola situation that are similar to Global Warming. Basically in both cases there is a slim possibility that no action could lead to dire consequences. But in the case of Ebola, we don’t have to spend trillions of dollars and literally freeze the world economy in an attempt to protect ourselves. Instead, for just a few dollars, we can buy some colloidal silver.
Sorry, this has virtually no application to prevention or treatment of Ebola. Lots of substances will render viruses inert in vitro -- things like bleach, acetone, high alkaline solutions, etc. None of these have application within the human body. Oral solutions of colloidal silver can be taken but are ineffective, in contrast to topical application for skin infections, etc.
