Efforts to bring natural Ebola treatments to suffering West Africans have been squelched by the World Health Organization (WHO), which recently blocked multiple shipments of nanosilver solution measuring at 10 parts per million (ppm) from entering the region, leaving thousands to suffer needlessly.
WHO officials also reportedly called off a trial at an Ebola isolation ward where local health authorities were set to begin administering the silver, which the U.S. government previously demonstrated is highly effective against Ebola. WHO ordered the trial not to proceed despite the fact that it had earlier voiced support for experimental treatments.
Both WHO and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have given their blessing to experimental therapies for Ebola, citing a lack of proven treatment options. But when it comes to using therapeutic silver, all bets are off, it seems.
The Lagos State Government has declared its resolve not to use any drug other than the American ZMAPP for the Ebola patients in its custody.
The Commissioner of Health, Dr Jide idris, told The Nation that Nano Silver, being suggested by the Federal Government by a Nigerian scientist is a natural health product and “the state is not ready to take chances with the health of the patients at all”.
“Should we have access to ZMAPP now, right away, we will start the administration on the patients.
“We are attending a meeting soon with the Task Force on Ebola to know if the ZMAPP drug is available as stated by the Federal government”, Idris said.
Although Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu, said Zmapp was expected to arrive Nigeria on Thursday, it is still unclear if government had taken delivery.

Lets instead have a look at some facts regarding the fraudulent claims of the self-proclaimed "world-renowned doctor and scientist" Dr. Rima E. Laibow instead (says who, by the way, except herself?). First, who is this person who wrote a letter to numerous African heads of state in order to promote the so-called nanosilver ebola cure, which - SURPRISE SURPRISE - she happens to sell on her various weird websites? (the letter is here: drrimatruthreports.com...)

Care to show us a official press release from the WHO stating that?
So the source for this silly story is from someone flogging the stuff!
