bushdoc9919: Well,have read the article.....and the reason why it isn't a cure is simpleNot ALL drugs must undergo animal testing. If the substance is already considered safe or already being consumed by humans e.g honey garlic etc and then lter is claimed to have medicinal properties there is really no need for animal testing. I imagine this would apply to bitter cola too |

iwonbaoko: Not ALL drugs must undergo animal testing. If the substance is already considered safe or already being consumed by humans e.g honey garlic etc and then lter is claimed to have medicinal properties there is really no need for animal testing. I imagine this would apply to bitter cola too Honey and garlic do not have curative properties.....but rather nutritive value.(Honey is used in wound dressing....but this was validated after a lot of research. Garlic is good for helping to keep blood pressure down....but NOT as the sole anti-hypertensive). As for Bitter Kolanut.....before the drug can be considered a cure....it must have been proven to clear the ebola viral particles from all tissues, organs and cells in the human body AFTER a phase 3 RCT. Regarding Ebola....what we should be looking for is a vaccine that prevents infection( as well as a drug!). You see, viruses work by getting their genetic material integrated into individual cell's genetic materials and using the cell to produce new viruses....which then burst out of the cell to repeat the process in other cells.(Horrible isn't it?). So, any drug that clears Ebola MUST be formulated to get into the cells to stop the said integration.....and that is where the vaccine comes in.( A third alternative is genetically enginering humans to be resistant to Ebola...but that is decades away). Right now....Kola appears to work invitro. What is needed is animal studies....then human studies. But all that will take years to come to fruition. |

bushdoc9919:Your problem is you like to talk but do not listen. Firstly use your terminology carefully, you have to define "curative properties" Whether or not Honey and garlic have curative properties is debatable. I am not aware of a scientific definition of curative. Certainly drugs do not have to be CURATIVE they may only provide relief of symptoms without "curing" anything. Even POISONS are classed as drugs!! Drugs are used for executions in some countries!! Anaesthetic drugs generally are not "curative" in my book neither is paracetamol in many instances where it is used ditto, for sleeping tablets Funny how you say honey is used in dressings is that not a "drug" use ? Also funny how you say it was "validated in research" without saying whether that research was in ANIMALS! Perhaps you need to check the definition of "DRUG" again. Even water and ice can be used as drugs !!! The issue I am responding to is "drug trial" IT IS NOT TRUE (AS YOU CLAIMED) THAT ALL DRUGS MUST UNDERGO ANIMAL TRIALS. I am not even debating any of that Ebola stuff. If bitter kola is useful it may not have to undergo animal trials because it is generally safe in humans unless it is going to be used in unusually amounts |
Re: Ebola Cure? Nigeria Professor Research on treatment with Bitter Kola by Nobody: 10:06am On Aug 02, 2014 |
iwonbaoko: I heard you....you were trying to defend Kola as an Ebola cure in a roundabout way by saying that ''not all drugs undergo animal testing''. Now that may have been true in the past (snake antivenom never underwent animal testing)....but it isn't true now....and certainly would NOT be true for any potential cure for Ebola. The problem also is that you think I am attacking African ideas. I am not....and as I told someone elsewhere....we can do all the advanced research into Ebola treatment here by funding education, and power supply adequately. (Just like the Indians do it). Garlic is used as an aid to keep BP down...it is not a cure for hypertension. Honey has been validated in research as a good wound healing agent. They are not cures. Neither is Kolanut....as the OP and others try to imply....a good cure for Ebola....UNTIL....it has undergone adequate invitro., animal and even Phase 1-4 testing and has been PROVEN to clear ebola viral particles(Nowadays, we can skip the animal testing....but it is still the gold standard). |
Re: Ebola Cure? Nigeria Professor Research on treatment with Bitter Kola by Nobody: 10:10am On Aug 02, 2014 |
bushdoc9919: Actually I have no opinion on bitter kola or Ebola. Form the habit of listening! I am just trying to correct the error that "ALL DRUGS MUST UNDERGO ANIMAL TESTING" as you claimed. This is untrue, once you are big enough to admit you got that wrong I have nothing else to say. Once again I have no opinion on bitter kola as a drug. I simply do not have any facts! Drugs are not necessarily "curative" sometimes they are use to carry out state sanctioned executions i.e (POISONS),often for symptomatic relief and other adjunctive uses like anaesthesia e.g Others are used for recreation e.g nicotine, alcohol, cannabis who is it that says a substance must be a "cure" for something to qualify as a "DRUG" Many drugs are used for hypertension can you tell us one that is a "CURE"? I beg of you JUST ONE PLEASE What is all this about "CURE"? Is the word cure material to definition of what a drug is?? Many agents are used in arthritis Epilepsy Parkinson's disease hypertension sickle cell disease HIV diabetes Asthma schizophrenia and many more conditions yet there is no known "cure" for these conditions so your argument that honey is not a drug because it i not a "CURE" is funny What about sleeping tablets are they "cures" are they drugs? |

bushdoc9919: You cannot go around saying because you quarreled with the okada man you must quarrel with the bus driver Is that rational? All I said was "not ALL drugs undergo trials in animals" nothing else now you can either admit that or dig you heels in obstinately just to prove you are right. If Bitter kola is to be proven as a drug for ANYTHING then I do not think animal trials would be necessary. That does not amount to any kind of opinion on its efficacy Regarding the issue of curativeness , that is just wrong and you should correct that misunderstanding. The vast MAJORITY of drugs in the market are NOT cures |

There are four types of the virus - Ebola-Zaire, Ebola-Sudan and Ebola-Ivory Coast all affect humans, while Ebola-Reston has so far only affected monkeys and chimpanzees. Where is Ebola-USA? All these Ebola you are sharing... wait for it.... #DiarizGoduo |
