It is clear that this is no longer an outbreak of Ebola, it's a breakout of Ebola. We are now living in a post-containment world. Fortunately, this virus has vulnerabilities, and we can quickly improve our immune defense.
When the protective suits and procedures fail to keep Ebola at arm's length, it becomes a fight between the organism and the defense. As there is no vaccine and there are no Ebola-specific drugs, it's time to help Americans understand what can be done.
We have two types of immune defense: adaptive defense, which allows us to utilize preformed antibodies and anti-viral killer cells, and innate defense, which allows us to fight a microorganism we have never encountered. Both defenses are highly dependent upon the availability of vitamin D3. Once summer ends, the levels of D3 begin the seasonal decline and we experience a dramatic increase in viral diseases.
As many patients have learned, measuring and increasing the blood levels of vitamin D3 (25-OH vitamin D) can significantly reduce the incidence and severity of the cold and flu viruses. Unlike those seasonal viruses, we have had no prior Ebola infections, and the ongoing research into Ebola vaccines appears to be a future possibility, but not a current reality. Ebola is one of the enveloped viruses, which are highly vulnerable to cathelicidin. Vitamin D3 up regulates the production of cathelicidin and is central to any strategy seeking to upgrade viral immune system defense.
The formal name for Ebola is Ebola hemorrhagic fever. With fever being the early symptom, the hemorrhage is the late-stage sign that the patient can no longer resist and the immune system capitulates. These terminal signs include the failure of multiple organ systems and widespread, uncontrollable hemorrhage from multiple sites....

Massive doses of vitamin K which promotes blood clotting ?
There’s this ten-percent survivor rate deal, which no one ever seems to want to discuss. The media makes it sound like 100-percent death rate....and it’s not that way.
So Africa has been able to use marginal healthcare, limited IV usage, few if any fever-reducing drugs, enhanced liquid foods, limited educated nurses and doctors, and really crappy open-door hospitals with lots of bacteria available....to get up to ten-percent survival rate?
We don’t need billion-dollar wonder drugs to get up to ninety-percent survival rates. We have everything at our disposal currently to get an outstanding rate. If you just show up early on....get these idiots to agree you have Ebola, and then apply standard drugs/treatment....you will likely survive unless you had a secondary issue (heavy drug use, HIV, diabetes, etc).
Vitamin C and Grape Nuts cereal. Add a healthy diet, exercise, and isolation from exposure and you have a potential winner (even w/o the C and cereal).
Zactly...
Yep. I usually keep a batch going. Started making it a couple of years ago.
You could not be more wrong. In the United States we do not have a vitamin and mineral deficiency. You could test every freeper and with the exception of a few people with vitamin D deficiency everyone will be well within normal ranges. Vitamins to be effective and absorbed properly must be taken in the correct proportions and combinations. This is a huge failure of supplements. But the biggest failure of supplements is the delivery system. The body simply can’t absorb whats in a pill or gelcap like it can from food. Therefore, the body evacuates it usually through the urine. That $30 bottle of supplements literally just got pissed down the toilet.
Yes GMO food is bad. But not because of nutritional composition but because of the way it destroys its environment and native natural crops and the way it interacts with the human body. The wheat we eat today is not the same wheat 100 years ago. It is awful because if you mix it with water it makes gluten and a lot of people are gluten sensitive.
The problem with the American diet is sugar and carbs. McDonalds isn’t bad for you because its high in fat, its bad for you because its high in fat AND carbs. The worst possible combination. If you are a fatty and do not wish to be, follow a paleo low carb diet. Eat all the fatty meat you want. Eat all the eggs you can. Eat all the vegetables you can. Drink water, tea, and coffee. Use full fat butter and creams and coconut oil to cook foods in. If you need a sweetener use Stevia. Stay away from breads, pasta, soda, anything made in a factory. Beef is one of the greatest foods for humans. Stick to natural whole foods grass fed non steroid or antibiotic is better but not necessary. Your calories should come from %50 fat %35 protein %15 carbs. As long as your carbs are coming from your vegetables (go easy on tubers) don’t worry how much you take in. Once your body enters ketosis weight will melt away. After an accident I put on a few pounds. On paleo, I lost 21 lbs in 3 weeks, no calorie restrictions and very little cardio and moderate weight training exercise.
Paleo is the way God intended man to eat. It served man well for thousands of years. I believe we honor Him and ourselves but eating in a manner in which He intended.
I don’t disagree with you about GMO food. But your views on vitamin supplements are completely wrong.
Live well freepers.

I agree with most of that statement. Steroid and antibiotic avoidance is not optional, it is absolutely mandatory.
As far as ‘deficiencies’ go, you are far too accepting of arbitrary and deceptive, unscientific “normal ranges.”

Well if we all agreed on everything we would be nothing more than mindless conformist monolithic thinking liberals.
Wrong!
This is for all whom are interested. The NIH was wrong about vitamin C and it was their studies which led to the defamation of Linus Pauling, conveniently after he died. For a site such as this it is disturbing that so many follow the sheep so easily.

Absolutely correct!
You are absolutely correct! For instance 60-65% of Adults over 40 are deficient in magnesium. Vitamin D is another story.
Sorry, my response to you was by mistake. I must disagree with you.
College student deficiences, for your reference.

Sorry! Working with a outdated smartphone. I concur with much of your statement, however the “arbitrary” argument to those who challenge the mainstream is overused at best, when one realizes where all the money is directed in medical and pharmaceutical science. For instance, some of poorest designed nutritional supplements are produced and manufactured by pharmaceutical giants such as, Abbot.
Make sure you use sunflower lecithin.
I am.
Non GMO sunflower lecithin.
Great job! You can also use egg yolk, if you do not have a phobia of salmonella. Technically soft or hard boiled egg yolks will work. They are high in lecithin.
In Great Health!
