Ebola Virus Outbreak Cure Or Vaccine: FDA Curbs Pharmas 'Cashing In', Promoting Products Treating, Preventing Infection
Ebola Virus Outbreak Cure Or Vaccine. In the wake of a rapidly spreading Ebola virus, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued warnings to three pharma companies for selling 'bogus' Ebola virus outbreak cure or vaccine. Two of the pharmaceuticals sell 'do Terra' and 'Young Living' and a third letter was issued to Natural Solutions Foundations. According to the FDA, the companies were making false claims that Ebola could be treated or prevented with their products.
Online reports about the Ebola Outbreak and its rampant spread in West Africa are urging researchers to look for a possible Ebola Virus Outbreak cure or vaccine. Since the Ebola Virus Outbreak in at least five countries in West Africa, Liberia is one of the hardest hit. And the first two helpers from Liberia were brought to the U.S. after having caught the Ebola virus. Since then two Texas health workers in a hospital have also contracted Ebola.
So far no Ebola virus outbreak cure or vaccine has been effective against the virus, which the CDC has labeled a medical issue similar to the HIV/Aids virus. The CDC in Atlanta is urging a heightened alert on Ebola in order to contain the virus before reaching mammoth proportions like the Aids epidemic. However, there has been some evidence to show that blood transfusions from infected patients can alleviate symptoms.
"The letters actually threaten these companies with criminal prosecution if they don't answer the FDA within 15 days. They demand that these companies explain exactly how they intend to stop making such claims. From their website, it appears that Natural Solutions Foundation has removed any mention of Ebola from their product description," USA Today reports.
Rima E. Laibow, medical director of Newton, NJ-based Natural Solutions Foundation, responded to the FDA's allegations saying, "We're getting to the point of idiocy."
