what a desperate county ....... The America refused to give us their Zombie MAPP, The Nanosilver that is our was condemned by the America, and we abandoned it without any inward thought...... Now we are looking up to Japan for another...... Its high time we learn to be independent in our doing I think....... The Fact remains that Ebola has no Cure/Specific Drug that cures it.... All these Zmapp or Fivir... Whatever are just Trial and error thing

Pls I want to ask,those people that got healed what drugs did they take,what happened to our own home made research on EVD,what about the much talk about NANO Silver? Pls we need to get our acts right as a nation. This people will only enslave us with their so called drugs just like that of HIV and AIDS with no permanent cure.

lrguru: Since this drug is not from a black man/ Nigeria, the americans won't call it pesticide....smh. Anyways I don't blame them, I blame our MOH who only believes that a Nigerian can never find any cure to any disease.

I only pray this drug works and I also hope it does not have any electrical component inside o, cos japanese technology is electronically wonderful. We don't want any of the recovered victim to be operated with remote control



see as Africans just show how ungrateful they areyou sit behind your computer probably in one village,scared to step outside to buy pure water because of Ebola and busy ranting against America that does not owe you anything for not giving you hand-outs and then jump in excitement as you hear that japan will be giving you hand-outs while at the same time asking questions that make you seem ungrateful when your president is busy sacking drs while those same drs are busy running away from patients and all the while,you still blame America for not giving you hand-outs......can you see that its the same thing over and over againyou ask for hand-out,they refuse,you abuse them,they give you,you abuse them while you cant do jack for yourself

calebo101:

What is even wrong with the way you reason?

They explained that they do not have it in large doses and only gave it to hard hit stricken countries like Guinea...

Una own na to beef people for their own property.

Can't you guys do research and find out solutions to a pending problem?

Blame America for everything, hian
lies how would they say they don't have enough doses they are just deceiving us they don't just want to help us period when the American doctor contacted the virus within how many days they had already found a cure and they gave him and he survived had it mean it was france or UK or Germany that was experiencing the kind of out break we are facing now in Africa they would have enough. And the cure a Nigerian made they said it is pesticide.

wellmax: When will Nigerian scientist produce a potent drug for common sicknesses

The basic problem is lack of money and good enough research facilities....which leads us to a discussion about education and science funding.

Well....the drug does appear to work in animal (mouse ) models for treatment of Ebola....

Abstract

Outbreaks of Ebola hemorrhagic fever in sub-Saharan Africa are associated with case fatality rates of up to 90%. Currently, neither a vaccine nor an effective antiviral treatment is available for use in humans. Here, we evaluated the efficacy of the pyrazinecarboxamide derivative T-705 (favipiravir) against Zaire Ebola virus (EBOV) in vitro and in vivo. T-705 suppressed replication of Zaire EBOV in cell culture by 4 log units with an IC90 of 110 μM. Mice lacking the type I interferon receptor (IFNAR−/−) were used as in vivo model for Zaire EBOV-induced disease. Initiation of T-705 administration at day 6 post infection induced rapid virus clearance, reduced biochemical parameters of disease severity, and prevented a lethal outcome in 100% of the animals. The findings suggest that T-705 is a candidate for treatment of Ebola hemorrhagic fever.

In other words....100% success cure rate in infected mice(six days after exposure)..

Hope it works well in humans

When the Americans got the zmapp...they were not aware if it would work.

Plus, it takes months to make just one vial of Zmapp.....maybe if you read the article quoted below you would get it...

2. ZMapp is made by a small San Diego pharmaceutical company, with only 9 employees

Mapp has only nine employees – to put that into perspective, pharma giant Pfizer has 78,000. Mapp just doesn’t immediately have the capacity to scale up.

“The manufacturer has been planning for phase 1 clinical trials and does not have the capacity to manufacture large quantities of the treatment,” says the US Center for Disease Control.

One more thing.....you should be asking why funding for scientific research and education in Nigeria is so poor....instead of blaming the Americans.

And the cure a Nigerian made they said it is pesticide.

Nano silver was not made by a Nigerian...it was made by an American...and is bogus. (There are no lab or animal or human tests to prove that it works against Ebola ).
