The NSF, the manufacturer of Nano Silver, had earlier on Monday, said
the drug was capable of curing Ebola.
The company’s Managing Director, Dr. Rima Laibow, in a Webcast on
Youtube, said the controversial drug had in the past been used in the
management of Ebola patients in some African countries.
Laibow, who however did not mention the countries, spoke against the
backdrop of the Federal Government’s dismissal of Nano Silver as being unsafe
for EVD management.
Minister of Health Onyebuchi Chukwu had on Saturday told journalists that the drug was
rejected by the NHREC because it failed to meet the
safety and ethical requirements.
However, Laibow argued in the webcast that there was no other effective
solution against Ebola apart from Nano Siver.
She said,“ Ebola is surging through various parts of Africa and it is
just a plane ride from the rest of the world. As of now, it is said that there
is no cure or treatment against Ebola and that is not true.
“In fact, there is a well known, well characterised nutrient
against the disease and that is Nano Silver. It is non-toxic and it
does not require refrigeration. It is inexpensive, self sterilising and it can
be given to every member of the community from the tiniest baby to the pregnant
mother and the most fragile elderly person that is infected.”
Nano Silver, according to her, “leaves the beneficial bacteria and the
healthy cells of the patient unaffected but it does kill every pathogen against
which it has been tested worldwide without exception. There is no other
effective solution against Ebola apart from this.”
On why the drug has not been approved globally for the management of
Ebola, Laibow explained that it needed to go through different stages of trial
before it could go public.
She stated that NSF’s team of experts were ready to assist any country
interested in using the drug for the management of Ebola and other communicable
diseases.
Laibow added, “There are different scientific reasons why we could not
just go public with it, but it has been brought forward now.
“It is available in large quantities and it is unlimited in its
effectiveness. The Natural Solutions Limited and I, stand ready to assist the
people of the world in deploying safe, non-toxic, inexpensive and available
solution against Ebola and every other communicable disease which
