According to an article on the Organic Consumers Association website, modern medicine should be replaced by the use of supplements to treat Ebola. The OCA claims there are alternative natural treatments that individuals and health workers could currently be taking to prevent and treat the spread of Ebola. OCA cites one study that shows that the Ebola virus relies on selenium–which it quickly depletes from the host’s body, further weakening the immune system. Replenishing selenium is vital to patients’ survival once infected. However, there is no empirical evidence that selenium supplements would have any effect on patient recovery or survival. ___________________ This is why we need science literacy.
