This is posted for widespread edification. FYI, it is known in certain informed circles (though not likely in the mainstream medical field) that Ebola is a variant of Scurvy-causing pathogen associated with Lassa Fever and the Marburg Virus (showed up around 1967 around Marburg & Frankfurt, Germany *before* showing up in Africa).
Lassa Fever (aka Lassa Hemorrhagic Fever), the Marburg Virus and Ebola have all been associated with internal hemorrhaging associated with accute Scurvy. The bloody bubbles or the like on the skin associated with Ebola are also associated with Scurvy. It might be therefore sound to view Ebola as causing (among other things) "Super Scurvy".

The internal hemorrhaging or petechiae associated with both Scurvy and Ebola are said to be due to extreme deficiencies in Vitamin C. Vitamin C itself is important for BLOOD CLOTTING. The link being made here is in that pathogens associated with Ebola, Marburg Virus, etc. seem to cause extreme Vitamin C deficiencies.
If you think this might be 'crazy talk' let me advise you that Lassa Fever-associated toxicities can scavenge 500 grams per hour of Vitamin C in the body. The result: scurvitic conditions such as bleeding from orifices, gums, internal organs, etc.
Intravenous sodium ascorbate is a key countermeasure for Lassa Fever which allows the body to tackle the pathogens.
Although "Scurvy" has been widely held to merely be a condition of acute Vitamin C deficiency, there is much evidence that Scurvy or Scurvitic conditions can have pathogenic causes. Even during the 1800s and some wondered why Scurvy wasn't as prevalent in the 1600s or 1700s if it was caused only by Vitamin C deficiency.
Timeline:
- Marburg Virus - outbreaks 1967 (Marburg & Frankfurt, Germany -- ala GERMAN RESEARCH LABS areas)
- Lassa Fever - 1969 and 1974 (Subsaharan/Central Africa)
- Ebola - 1976 (After U.S. Army bio weapons lab built in Kenema, Sierra Leone).
- 2014 - Ebola Outbreak at Sierra Leone
Between the lines: diseases such as AIDS and Ebola are linked with Africa because -> that is where the Nazis have been experimenting all along. It seems rather plausible that Lassa Fever, Marburg Virus & Ebola are variations of the same.
