Quack cures for Ebola

A Cure for Ebola Yep Internet Quack Sites Are Already Trying to Rip People Off Alternet

October 10, 2014 |

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. It's still common that when deadly, contagious outbreaks emerge, they are quickly trailed by conspiracy theorists, doomsday preppers and dishonest marketers that push their snake oil.

In the past several weeks, questionable “natural health” sites have made some wild claims, suggesting herbs, snake and spider venom, nutritional supplements, colloidal silver and even marijuana can keep the deadly virus at bay or even cure it. The sites range from your typical fly-by-night sales operations to conspiracy-theorist destinations to homeopathic medicine blogs.

With the RW panic going full bore, this isn't very surprising.

Could be worse, could be suggesting they try to pray it away.

It could be worse. The Africans could say that having sex with infants will prevent getting ebola. That's what they did with Aids.
