Kenyan link to alleged Nigerian experimental Ebola treatment

Nigeria plans to use a drug marketed and used in Kenya to manage HIV to treat six of its people who have been infected with Ebola. By Friday, 10 cases of Ebola had been confirmed in Nigeria, four of whom have died and 169 under surveillance. Nigerian Health Minister Onyebuchi Chukwu has said those infected will receive an experimental drug called Nano Silver.

On Thursday, the minister told a press conference that an unidentified Nigerian scientist living overseas was offering the country the experimental medicine. While Prof Chuku did not identify the said scientist, the product is distributed by an American group called Natural Solutions Foundation
