phreakabit: Well Nafdac doesn't decide for the world.

Yes, but nafdac can make Nigerians to stop selling questionable drugs to foreigners, especially when they claim it can cure a serious disease whereas it cannot.
Nafdac can also warn the health ministry of say, Tanzania that a particular substance being sold here is banned or categorised as a toxic pesticide.

That's exactly the analogy of what happened in the nano silver issue.

backs
-Should we trust them with their so called vaccine
when it comes?
-Africa, its time to start thinking, time to start
asking questions
-We have lived with monkeys, chimpanzees,
gorillas, wild animals that have always been part of
our delicacies and never had ebola
-Why now and why always Africa. HIV/AIDS in
Africa 1st likewise ebola?
JUST THINKING ALOUD

Dude, I put it to you that ALL the vaccines you were given were western-developed.

Every region has had and will have its fair share of epidemics..

There's the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (camel flu) being battled in the middle east right now... With hundreds of infections and dozens of deaths so far.

aresa: Using hand sanitizer is good hygiene practice, but hand sanitizer have zero effect on Ebola.

Hand sanitizer kills bacteria, it doesn't kill virus. sanitizer kills 99.9 % bacteria and not virus, bacteria is different from virus.

These ignorant leaders need to quit the stupidity and stop sending the wrong message.

" Oxford points out that
basic hygiene measures should
further reduce the chance of infection
– even if it can’t eliminate the danger
completely. “The Ebola virus is very
easily killed; you can kill it with hot
water and soap,” he says. “Alcohol
rubs get rid of it in a microsecond.”

www.bbc.com/future/story/20140731-can-ebola-spread-on-planes

Sending the message of proper hygiene is good enough orientation. They never claimed that washing hands can cure an already infected person.

carefreewannabe: Do you think nano silver is a Nigerian product?

Hehehe.... Many of them feel so..


Meanwhile, see what ebola survivors go through...


www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-08-14/ebola-stigma-adds-burden-as-survivors-face-long-recovery.html

gentleuwa: So what r we going 2 do,what's d cause of her recovery because we wana knw.bside,d health minister is nt plain on dis mata.mayb he doesn't want d general public 2 knw dat he stil went ahead 2 use d Nano-silver.diaris God ooooo.8-)

Believe me.. A cure for ebola at this critical time is not something to be hidden... And pls, know that hundreds of people have survived ebola in Liberia, etc.... 10-40% of victims typically survived it in various past outbreaks.

Kizmarty: that's wrong info..
no government will endorse a drug if the ministry hasn't shown prove that it actually passed experimental tests..

I believe so... Well, the press didn't help matters too with their sensational headlines and reports.

Kizmarty: you're wrong...i doubt that..

you peeps always underestimating our health system..
there are procedures an experimental drug goes through before being administered..

soon you'll say there are no labs in Nigeria.. we're the ones painting our self black

I'm not painting us black.. But did you read the first report that the govt "endorsed" the use of nano silver for the treatment of ebola victims. How can you endorse something that hasn't been tested and proven to work on animals against ebola at least?

Kizmarty: more reason FDA nd Lasg plus others should have waited till experimental tests proved otherwise before quickly poking at nano sliver..

Nigerians ? Experiment??... If not for the FDA warning, Lagos state govt and concerned citizens outcry, they'd have straight up administered the patients with it....

Kizmarty: still FDA nd LASG took a wrong approach..
they're ways of doing things...

The wrong party here was the minister of health. A thorough background check of the substance would have saved him the embarrassment. Probably he was under pressure to "do the needful", I understand.

valentinegibbs: i wonder y pple will be insultin each oda here......everyone has a ryt to air his/her view......#smh....so annoyin

Yeah, but airing misleading views like the salt bath therapy is dangerous. Its for the benefit of our public health that any illogical, dumb or misleading opinion be shot down immediately... If salt could kill a few people, imagine what silver solution will do, considering how easy it can be ordered online.

Kizmarty: ewww...

so ignorant of you..


u.s was just being a bully..they'd no right to disapprove nano silver when it hasn't been experimented..

Lasg acted foolishly following a foreign unconfirmed statement..

what make u think u.s knows it all??
W.H.O gave every troubled country permission to use any drug if it has been tested nd confirmed to have made progress against ebola virus..


what lasg should've done was to wait for an experimental test before disapproving it nd u.s keep quiet..period!

hope u know Zmapp is a rodenticide nd is a banned drug?

i just hope our health minister didn't disapprove nano silver out of pressure...



if nano silver can't cure ebola as he has said,we just need a PLAN B
... congrats to d DOC. miss.anti ebola

That colloidal silver has been classified as a pesticide since 1999 isn't a lie. What the FDA was against was certain websites claiming it was a cure for ebola, and a minister of health endorsing an antiseptic substance of questionable human effects... After all, the supplements were probably still ordered form US Sellers.

Paroman: probably after using Nanosilver to cure a patient, the patient's gender automatically changes. Hence the woman turning into a man.

Hehehe....

eunisam: if not nino silver,what did they used to cure him?

She wasn't "cured"... She survived it. Just like 10%-40% of ebola victims....

oluafolabi: That's what I'm trying to explain to those guys. *sigh* is it that the average Nigerian is dumb or something?

Unfortunately, Yes...

Imoy: Na lie d health minister dey talk. He does not want the FDA to knw he still went ahead in using that Nano silver after they have threatened to take necessary action against Nigeria if we used the "pesticide"


Ok if u don't bliv me, why didn't he mention the drug he used on the patient, or say the patient recovered naturally?


Nano silver all the way.

God bless nigeria.

In the history of ebola outbreaks since 1976, it has never killed 100% of infected victims. Thiscurrent outbreak death rate stands at 60%.. Hundreds of people have survived it already in Liberia, etc.... Out of the 12 victims, we can expect 5-6 to survive, especially as they were detected early enough... There's still no cure, but if one can survive the critical stage of the disease (With all the horrible bleeding and boils), then the virus will run its course and leave.

ayusco85: english prof. u got the message didnt u?



#I.T.K

Sincerely, I didn't understand what you wrote there.....

Solozzo: EBV infection has a mortality rate of about 80 -90%. The Doc is among the 10-20% survival even in the absence of curative treatment. There is no evidence that she used nano-silver, bitter cola or saltwater. Two or more survivors are expected. Congrats Doc!

However no unprotected sex for two months after recovery as EBV can still be transmitted through sex over that period(http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebola_virus_disease)

Wish more Nigerians reasoned like you.....

ayusco85: and so? isnt ma fellow african countries happy when nigeria is in turmoil? dude its All Man For Himself

Grammar, man.....

ayusco85: please tell me how that is my business? am a nigerian not a Liberian or guinean


***sips his hot lipton tea***

You're African.....

nerodenero: All the western world's wish for Nigeria just keep failing.Something must be unique about us.

The feeling of victory is sweet.

Victory for her, yes.... How bout the two late nurses and the ecowas official?...

50calibre: Now any sane country will draw samples from the recovered doctor and use it to the benefit of others infected.

they're busy taunting Obama and drinking saline water....

ayusco85: the lord be praised.

Nigerians, surviving from dangerous ailments since 1900.



Nano silva 1 - Zmap 0

Nigeria 1 - Obama 0


last bullet: Obama, what kills other nationalities in their hundreds only make Nigerians stronger

Are you aware that hundreds of Liberians, Guineans and sierra leonians have survived the disease for the past few months??

Adetayo100: Ode, you no sabi read


Nanosilver na Pakistan product?

Nooo.. Na made in Aba . Okponu!

HARDDON: is there ever a time ud make an intelligent input?

Reality bites, I guess.

HARDDON: well we just realised that some diseases don't affect some animals! lol

and bliv me, it is not every time d "coloured" folks test on animals, thatz why u have something called "human subjects" .....go figure.


@topic, a solution, is a solution!

if ours is pesticide, Zmapp must be an Insecticide then!

Nano silver isn't "OURS", numbskull....

RaggedyAnn: Nano-silver is an antibacterial technology which uses ionic silver nano particles. It's been used by samsung in washing machines, ACs, air purifiers etc, since 2003. It was not intended for combating viruses, least of all the Ebola virus. silver has been proven to be effective against bacteria; if our scientists want to test its effectiveness in killing the Ebola virus, then they should get to work but it would be irresponsible for the government to begin administering a substance whose true effect is still a mystery. It's as ignorant as advising people to consume an insane amount of salt.

#HugsandKisses

barcanista: Madam american worshipper, the most intelligent Nigerian ever liveth...no one is stopping yu from your American worship but deviate from insulting Nigerians. Americans should stay in America..we don't fvcking need them!!!!


#AfricaHasComeOfAge

You can as well get off the internet, an American invention. You can as well dump your windows PC, Android, APPLE, etc gadgets and build your own....

#Africa Still hasn't come of age because the dumb Guineans couldn't detect there was an ebola epidemic until W.H.O arrived the scene months later.

barcanista: The USA should learn to keep quiet sometimes. The ZMAPP was untested b4 it was used. They dnt want to gv us dia drugs n de dnt want to allow us test ours. Make dem rest jooor!!!!
As for me na bitter kola sure pass

Nano silver is not "OURS".. It's a western supplement. As far back as 1918, it was sold as a cure for the Spanish flu by some con artists ..... 50 million people still perished.

Arsenate: alright America, we've heard, nano silver is a pesticide. now can you send us your Zmapp? if no; kindly allow us use what we have. better to try and fail than not trying at all.

"We" don't have nano silver... It's been used in the West for ages. They're the creators of nano silver, and they've classified it as an insecticide for over a decade now.

chi4ik: Nonsense, I now believe that madman Patrick Sawyer was sent by U.S . I now believe that Obama and his queen of the coast sent this virus to Africa. (black Africa), whether na gbogbonishe or ortumopko, our Nano silver is better than zmapp. do they think that we can't do without them? efulefu

Did you just write "Our" nano silver?? Lol... Keep being dumb....

Adetayo100: Give them no gree give, we make our own those fuckerz call am pesticide


God purnish American

We make wetin?.. Bros, you dull oooo

Bernardinho: qosh!! U quys are so irritatinq with ur "only we can" behaviour.You hoarded ur so called cure 4 ebola n now we created our own n u label it "pesticide" Y cant u js allow us use our pesticide instead of suckinq,, white MONKEYS!!!

We created what??... Sorry, but you're daft...
