In reply to the discussion: Homeopaths vs. Ebola virus hemorrhagic fever [View all]etherealtruth
(22,165 posts)19. If you read at the links there are "homeopathic practioners"
... are proposing homeopathic remedies ... It is ignorant and dangerous that the homeopathic "practitioners" are making these claims ... I haven't seen any dentists offering remedies or cures.
Heres what two homeopaths have proposed a a homeopathic remedy for Ebola:
Dr. Gail Derin studied the symptoms of Ebola Zaire, the most deadly of the three that can infect human beings. Dr. Vickie Menear, M.D. and homeopath, found that the remedy that most closely fit the symptoms of the 1914 flu virus, Crolatus horridus, also fits the Ebola virus nearly 95% symptom-wise! Thanks go to these doctors for coming up with the following remedies:
1. Crolatus horridus (rattlesnake venom) 2. Bothrops (yellow viper) 3. Lachesis (bushmaster snake) 4. Phosphorus 5. Merc. cor.
If you are not in the U.S., you must locate your closed homeopathic practitioner and ask him or her to order these remedies for you from Hahnemann Pharmacy, (510) 327-3003 (Albany, California, a suburb of Oakland). If your countrys laws allow you to call a homeopathic pharmacy directly, do so. In any case be sure to find a homeopathic practitioner you can work with. Do not try to take care of yourself without the further education and experience that a homeopath can give you.
If youre not sure where to find your closest homeopath, call the National Center of Homeopathy, (703) 548-7790, Take this article with you and let a homeopath read it and instruct you on how to use the remedies.

As soon as someone goes the 'strawman' route, I tune them out for using it like a slur.

Due to the lack of any approved protocols, Ebola is basically treated with the "shotgun method"
