* [[Garcinia Kola]] : Preliminary study of the plant As reported in 1999, extracts from the 1990s showed signs that it may benefit ebola victims by slowing down multiplication seeds of the this traditional African medicinal herb were found to"...inhibit this virus[Ebola] in cell culture at non-toxic concentrations."
* 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.
