most of what you mentioned is about trying to increase host defenses/immune system. There may be a basis to it. Like any genetic code through evolution, viruses evolved means to persist over time. The genes they carry trigger immunosuppression and also aid in creating a dispersal syndrome in the host. The methods I'm looking at are more directed towards a specific structural aspects of the virus.

Thank you kindly for making the effort and taking the time to look into these and reply. Most of the population will not have the means to get any treatment and I was thinking/hoping these home remedies might help the survival rate for some should it get so bad.
If you were away from medical/lab options and someone in your family came down with Ebola, is there anything you would try to help?

There are many foods believed to have antiviral properties, eg garlic, olive leaf extract, echinacea, etc. I have never heard the term 'nucleoside analogs' before and have no idea what foods these might be present in. I did an internet search for foods with nucleoside analogs and it came back with things like cytidine, purine?
Science is like math to me - I have an absolute fascination and interest in them but little ability to understand it in all its complexities. You must have a fabulous mind :-)
One article about cytidine suggested foods like brewer's yeast...
