The recent ebola outbreak is spawning dubious, if not dangerous, medical remedies and advice on the Internet. Many of these "alternative medicine" sites are hoping to make a tidy profit from our fears. Not much has changed since the days of the traveling medicine show.

The sites range from your typical fly-by-night sales operations to conspiracy-theorist destinations to homeopathic medicine blogs.
