* A study at the University of Texas Medical Branch, found that [[genistein]] and tyrophostin (a pharmaceutical drug) individually inhibit the entry of these viruses into the cells, both through interfering with endocytosis (the process by which a cell pulls in a virus) and uncoating proteins (the process by which a virus alters proteins on the surface of the host cell to gain entry). It was also observed that a synergistic effect occurred when genistein and tyrophostin were added together.
* [[Vitamin C]] : According to the late Dr Robert Cathcart, MD, who had extensive experience treating deadly infections with high dose vitamin C, "the Ebola virus kills by way of free radicals which can be neutralized by massive doses of sodium ascorbate intravenously." Indeed, Ebola virus disease -- as is the case with viral hemorrhagic disease in general -- resembles features of acute scurvy, and vitamin C is well known to have a broad range of benefits, including immune-boosting and antiviral properties, with an incredibly high safety margin.* [[Red Algae]] produce mannose-binding lectins, which allow the algae to protect themselves from invasion by viruses.
* Homeopathic interventions: A study published in 1999 explored the therapeutic potential of a homeopathic preparation of the six-eyed spider venom (Sicarius) at treating symptoms associated with Ebolavirus infection.
* Estradiol: A 2013 analysis, titled "A systematic screen of FDA-approved drugs for inhibitors of biological threat agents," found that estradiol exhibited anti-Ebola virus activity in vitro, indicating the relevance of hormonal factors and perhaps gender in susceptibility to the disease – as well as a possible therapeutic role for estradiol if future clinical research confirms bears these findings out.
* [[Nano Silver]] had proven effective against viruses, bacteria, and parasites. It may be also a source of a cure for Ebola patients.
* [[Yu Ping Feng Pian]] (JadeDefender™) is an ancient Chinese herbal medicine used for reinforcing the body's immune system. Today it is the most recommended herbal remedy for avoiding viral infections such as cold or flu.
* [[Han Fang Ji]] : Scientists at Texas Biomed found Stephania root contains a tetrandrine : a compound that can stop the virus in its tracks. Ebola travels to blood cells in bubble-like structures. These get the virus across the cell membrane. That’s how it starts multiplying…and infecting other cells. In the Texas study, scientists tested tetrandrine on human white blood cells infected with Ebola. They found it blocked the disease from entering into the cells—and spreading like wildfire. According to lead author, Dr. Robert Davey, “The virus is then trapped in the bubble and cannot escape. It is then detoured to be destroyed. This stops infection.”
* [[Stephania Tetrandra]] : Tetrandrine, which is derived from the Stephania tetrandra has been found blocking the ebola virus from interacting with cells, thus preventing it from taking hold and infecting the body.
* [[Honeysuckle]] : MIR2911 a molecule in the honeysuckle plant has the world's first "virological penicillin."
* [[Melatonin]] is far more than just a simple aid for sleep -- it's also a potent antioxidant and treatment for sepsis, a condition associated with Ebola virus infections. The supplement also targets other Ebola symptoms such as endothelial disruption, disseminated intravascular coagulation and multiple organ hemorrhage.
