So wait, the US may have found a cure to Ebola? And if they have, will
they come help patients of this dreaded disease in Africa? The article
below was written by Dr. Sanjay Gupta for
CNN
and they are saying an experimental drug called ZMapp likely saved the
lives of 2 US missionary doctors (pictured above) who contracted the
disease while working in Liberia...see report below from CNN..
Three vials containing an experimental drug stored at subzero
temperatures were flown into Liberia last week in a last-ditch effort to
save two American missionary workers who had contracted Ebola,
according to a source familiar with details of the treatment.
The drug appears to have
worked, sources say. Dr. Kent Brantly's and Nancy Writebol's conditions
significantly improved after receiving the medication, sources say.
Brantly was able to walk into Emory University Hospital in Atlanta after
being evacuated to the United States last week, and Writebol is
expected to arrive in Atlanta on Tuesday.
