Everything You Need to Know About Ebola

Along with everything else we generally get on the news, recently we've been hearing more and more about the recent Ebola outbreak in Africa, and that American citizens with the disease have been flown into the U.S. for the first time. This can be very scary, especially when you don't really know what Ebola is, so I've created this guide to help you understand the history, current state and the likely future of Ebola.
What is Ebola?
Its official name for the disease is "Ebola hemorrhagic fever" due to the severe internal bleeding it causes. The Ebola virus can infect both humans and primates and is often deadly.
The name "Ebola" comes from the Ebola River in Congo where the disease was first identified back in 1967. Since then, there were more identified cases in Zaire, Gabon, Sudan, Sierra-Leon, Guinea, Liberia, The Ivory Coast & Uganda.
How do you contract Ebola?
Though its main method of infection is through contact with blood and other bodily secretions of infected people. However, it's been found that in some cases, the disease was contracted through contact with bodies of the victims, as well as wearing clothes or using beddings that were used by the infected.
The main risk with Ebola is the incubation period in which infected are already contagious, but are still asymptomatic. This helps spread the infection between family members and friends, as well as in hospitals, prior to diagnosis. Other than people and primates, the virus can be carried by pigs & fruit-bats.
What are the Symptoms?
Early Symptoms:
- Fatigue
- Fever
- Headaches
- Joint, muscle, and abdominal pain
- Dehydration due to vomiting, diarrhea and loss of appetite
(Less common symptoms)
- Sore throat
- Chest pain
- Hiccups
- Shortness of breath
- Trouble swallowing

After a few days, more severe symptoms appear:
- Bleeding from orifices (mouth, nose, anus, genitals)
- Hematomas in the skin and eyes
In the last stages, the virus attacks the liver, nervous system and then the rest of the internal organs. Within 10 days of the first symptoms appearing, about 40%-90% of the infected will die.
Is there a cure or treatment?
At this time, there's no official cure or vaccine for Ebola. The only known way to slow down the symptoms is by flooding the patient's system with antibiotics and hooking them up to a respirator. It's important to note that recently, 2 U.S. citizens who contracted the virus were treated with a drug called ZMAPP (which is still in clinical trials) and have shown considerable improvement within an hour.
Ebola is highly infectious, yet it is also very delicate and can be destroyed (externally) by washing your hands with water and soap. That being said, it's recommended to still use disinfectants that contain Ammonia or Alcohol when treating contaminated surfaces, with the use of gloves, goggles and medical aprons for protection.
Ebola today
The 2014 outbreak is the most severe outbreak of Ebola recorded (number of infected & fatalities) since 1976. Guinea was the source of the outbreak in December 2013 but was only detected in March 2014. It then spread to Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Nigeria.
The World Health Organization reported 1,975 suspected cases and 1,069 and designated the outbreak "a public health emergency of international concern". This designation was only used twice before (2009 - Swine Flu & 2014 - resurgence of Polio). It invokes legal measures on disease prevention, surveillance, control, and response by 194 countries.
Suspicion of infection?
Since Ebola's initial symptoms resemble the flu, basing your diagnosis on that is pure speculation and is not recommended. However, if you recently returned from a country where the disease was recently reported, please contact your local physician and explain the situation, as certain tests and preventative measures must be taken.
If you suspect others have been infected, contact your local center for disease control or health authorities with due haste!
If you suspect that you're infected, make sure to drink a-lot of fluids (one of the early symptoms is dehydration), with mineral water and sports-drinks being most recommended for maintaining your body's levels of electrolytes.

15 Natural Remedies From Around the World

Natural remedies are the healthiest way to treat your ailments, but where do they come from? Here are 15 common natural remedies from around the world that you may or may not have heard of. This is necessary information for any health buff!
1. Coconuts Fight Fat - Sri Lanka
natural remedies
You may have heard that coconut oil is a great way to slim your waist. Well the people of Sri Lanka figured this one out way before the rest of the world. It is reported that the average Sri Lankan eats about 116 coconuts per year, and they are half as likely as the average American to pack on the pounds. The reason is that coconut oil is packed with medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) that stimulate the liver to burn fat 50 percent faster than normal. Try having about two tablespoons of coconut oil daily (in your cooking) and you could shed up to three pounds a month!

2. Yoga Treats Insomnia - Austria
natural remedies
Although yoga is practiced all over the world, in Austria it is used solely as a stress-buster and quick treatment for insomnia. Austrians like to go all out and go on yoga retreats and holidays for up to a week, but according to research from the University of Pennsylvania, practicing yoga for just 20 minutes a day could get rid of your insomnia. The research also found that practicing yoga is just as effective, if not more, than taking a sleeping pill and it also will rid you of anxiety, stress and depression.

3. Ginger Controls Triglycerides - Indonesia
natural remedies
Indonesia is the world's largest grower and consumer of ginger and ginger products, with locals using it in their cooking, teas, candies and breads. Their tradition has long pointed to ginger as an effective treatment for the heart, and there are studies to back them up. Triglycerides are fats that clog your arteries, and according to Stanford researchers, a daily dose of ginger could cut the production of these fats by 27 percent. Ginger is also twice as effective as aspirin at preventing blood clots and preventing inflammation.

4. Turmeric Steadies Blood Sugar - India
natural remedies
Turmeric is a flavorful yellow spice used in rice and meat dishes and even deserts, but it also has outstanding medicinal properties. Indians use turmeric to treat high blood sugar levels, a practice that has been scientifically confirmed by research at Gujarat University. They confirmed that the active ingredient in turmeric, called curcumin, switches on the genes that keep blood glucose levels stable. The compound can also help the pancreas make insulin when it is low. In order to see the benefits of turmeric, start taking about half a teaspoon daily either directly or in your cooking.

5. Mushrooms Fight Cholesterol - Japan
natural remedies
Mushrooms are a popular food and medicine in Japan, with the average Japanese woman consuming about 8 pounds of mushrooms a year. According to research from Penn State University, adding about a half a cup of mushrooms to your daily diet could cut cholesterol levels by nearly 30 percent. This is because mushrooms are packed with antioxidants that prevent the liver's production of artery-clogging fats.

6. Mustard Baths Calm Muscle Pain - England
natural remedies
Ever heard of a mustard bath? While it may sound like a hoax, mustard baths are used heavily in England to quell tight and achy muscles. Mustard has healing plant compounds that draw out toxins through the pores to improve circulation, relax tight muscles and speed the healing of damaged tissue.

For your own mustard bath, mix 2 cups of Epsom salts, 1/4 cup baking soda, 1/4 cup dry mustard in a jar. Pour only 1/4 of this mixture into a warm bath, mix the water before getting in, soak for 20 minutes and rinse.
7. Chamomile Tea Beats Off Bloating - Germany
natural remedies
What began as a simple German folk remedy has now been proven as a scientifically effective method for fighting off bloating. In research conducted at Stanford University it was found that sipping two cups of chamomile tea daily could help ease bloating and belly pain within just 24 hours. This is because chamomile calms the adrenals and the production of a stress hormone called cortisol that can interfere with digestion and produces painful gas and belly spasms. Not only does chamomile tea soothe the stomach, it also causes the brain to produce more enkephalins, or painkilling hormones that will help fight off depression and negative thoughts.

8. Garlic Fights Off Viruses - Russia
natural remedies
While garlic is used the world over to add flavor to food, in Russia they use this herb to get rid of colds, the flu or any other viral infection. It has recently been proven that this pungent natural medicine is seriously effective. At the University of Florida in Gainesville, it was shown that adding one clove of garlic to your daily diet could cut your risk of viral infections by almost 43 percent! This is because garlic is full of allicin, an immunity boosting sulfur compound that fights off the growth and spread of germs.

9. Acupuncture to Treat Headaches - China
natural remedies
Acupuncture has been used for centuries in Eastern and Chinese medicine, but now more than 80 million Chinese use this therapy to treat chronic headaches. At Taiwan's Kaohsiung  Medical University it was found that daily acupuncture treatments work much better than prescription muscle relaxants. This is because acupuncture prompts the release of powerful painkilling hormones called endorphins and relaxes the scalp muscles to soothe the overactive pain nerves.

10. Coffee Gets Rid of Depression - Finland
natural remedies
This cold Scandinavian country is actually the world's largest consumer of coffee, drinking on average about 1,640 cups per year. Indeed, coffee was originally sold in pharmacies in Finland in the 18th century has a treatment for depression. Now research from Harvard backs up coffee's use as an anti-depressant, finding that drinking 2 cups a day of caffeinated coffee could reduce your risk of depression by 34 percent, and if you drink 3 cups, by 42 percent. The mix of caffeine and antioxidants in coffee stimulates the brain to produce more powerful antidepressant hormones like serotonin and dopamine.

11. Coriander Rids of Food Poisoning - Egypt
natural remedies
One of the world's oldest spices and a popular Egyptian remedy for stomach pain, new research proves the powerful effects of this ancient spice. The research suggests that coriander seeds can speed up recovery from full-blown intestinal infections by destroying dangerous bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella. This is because coriander punches holes in the bacteria's' protective outer membranes, effectively destroying them for good.

Next time you are having tummy troubles, try adding 1 teaspoon of ground coriander to one cup of boiling water. Drink up to three cups of this mixture daily until the bug is gone.

12. Honey Treats Sinus Infections - New Zealand
natural remedies
Unpasteurized honey is one of the top treatments used in New Zealand to treat sinus and throat infections. According to research at the University of Illinois and the University of Amsterdam, the natural antibiotics and enzymes in unpasteurized honey can destroy nearly 100 percent of bacteria and viruses on contact! This includes the bugs that cause painful sinus and throat infections.

For an effective remedy, mix two tablespoons of unpasteurized honey into your coffee or tea to prevent painful infections. Use darker honeys like buckwheat or wildflower for the best results.

13. Aloe Vera to Treat Rashy Skin - Mexico
natural remedies
Where the sun is hot and always shining, aloe vera is used to treat rashes and other skin problems. Researchers at the University of Texas found that aloe vera reduce redness, speeds healing, increases the skin's moisture levels and strengthens resistance to irritants. They also discovered that aloe vera not only treats the current outbreak, but prevents further outbreaks in the same area. Other research from Malmo University Hospital in Sweden found that aloe vera cream can treat psoriasis in 83 percent of cases.

14. Kefir Treats Irritable Bowel Syndrome - Russia
natural remedies
Irritable bowel syndrome is an uncomfortable and serious condition in which the bowels do not perform as they should. However in Russia they use a tart and tangy yogurt called kefir to treat the condition with healthy probiotic bacteria and yeast. Kefir is an effective treatment for IBS because it contains five time more healthy, intestine-soothing probiotics than most regular yogurts. In research conducted by the University of Madrid it was found that having just a half-cup serving of kefir daily could trigger a ten-fold increase of healing probiotic bacteria in the digestive tract.

15. Arnica to Prevent Bruises - Greece
natural remedies
An herb that grows in the mountainous regions of Greece, arnica has been a go-to remedy since ancient times for nasty bruising and closed wounds. It has become the most popular homeopathic remedy worldwide due to its power of healing and treating the most serious of bruises.

The most common hot tub infection is pseudomonas folliculitis, which causes red, itchy bumps. A more dangerous side-effect of soaking in a dirty Jacuzzi is a form of pneumonia known as Legionnaire's disease. This is what reportedly sickened more than 100 people at the Playboy Mansion back in 2011.

20 Questions and Answers About Health

Red wine contains much more resveratrol than white wine, an antioxidant found in the skin of grapes that has been shown to fight off diseases associated with aging. Is bottled water better for you than tap water? 

20 Questions and Answers About Health

Short answer: No 

Bottled water is no safer or purer than tap water, though it is substantially more expensive. 
A recent study by Glasgow University in the U.K. found that bottled water is actually more likely to be contaminated than water from your faucet because it is less well-regulated.. 
Bottled water and tap water typically come from the same sources — natural springs, lakes, and aquifers. While public water supplies are tested for contaminants every day, makers of bottled water are only required to test for specific contaminants every week, month, or year.
