Please stop eating bitter kola, it dosen't cure Ebola as many of you may think. So many people now eat better thinking that it cure or protect them from contacting the deadly Ebola Virus. Read what Prof. Maurice Iwu and his group said about what people think it cures Ebola.
Prof. Maurice Iwu
Prof. Maurice Iwu,
has been in the news over his acclaimed research of a
potential cure for the Ebola virus in a drug synthesised
from Garcinia (bitter kola)
Iwu, a pharmacognocist has since been appointed member of a six-man Treatment Research Group in augurated by the Federal government to research on treatment and possible cure of the Ebola Virus Disease, EVD. Iwu speaks about the Bitter kola experience.
I belong to a research group which was established around 1985. What we were interested in as at that time was medical condition or if you like you can called it disease hunting, going for those diseases that are not in the public domain, diseases that people don’t know about. We try to look for anything that can cure them.
And the US Military took notice of us and invited us to work for them, so for 10 years I worked at the Division of Experimental Therapeutics of Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, Washington D.C. on this kind of disease.
What we do is to look for new weapons to fight disease and my own field which is natural products in which we have to recruit people that I am to coach as we are now coaching people. As long as we live in the tropical environment, there are still going to be many more diseases we have not heard about. The issue is to see what we can use to tackle them.
Another good thing that as it happened now is that the Minister for Health has set up a treatment research group which means that we are now beginning to be proactive.
I keep saying a scientist is like a tennis player, I say we stop but I didn’t say others stop. We have more data from other laboratories. We have been able to know more than we did in 1999. But not necessarily by my group, but we are now more or less, like collecting work from others and people have been generous. Some of our colleagues abroad who helped us to do tests at that time are now ready to help us test it in dosage form.
We pray not to have enough patients because on phase 3, we have to plan it, recruit patients and make sure that all the parameters to use are in order.
For us in Science what is upper most to us in the whole thing is that we check with evidence. According to a European noble philosopher who turned scientist why is it that a dead fish is weigh more than living one and everybody said they didnt think about it and nobody bothered to weigh the fish to know whether dead fish actually weigh more than living one. So that is the issue about the bitter kola and Ebola for anti-viral infection. It is a known anti viral infection and immune booster and it has been used by man over a century. It began from ethnic use and into experimental medicine, it will remain in use until it is disproved that it is not active.
