The following two links have been mentioned for Ebola.
I disagree with their suggestion of snake remedies, and give my own analysis below.

Viral hemorrhagic fevers

http://www.indiana.edu/~psychag/cam/int ... script.pdf

I confess my first thought about a "hemorrhagic fever" was also a snake remedy, but I have changed my mind after spending some hours today perusing the scientific papers I could find on it, especially the one done in Japan, by a group brave enough to autopsy five bodies from the last outbreak and try to decode what Ebola does internally. I also colected as many symptoms as possible from reports I hunted down.

Firstly it does not kill by blood loss or hemorrhage, as is implied by the name.
During advanced stages of Ebola, there is indeed bleeding, such as injection site hematoma, stool black with blood, coughing blood, and vomiting blood, even vaginal blood - and internally organs also bleed. But this does not cause a large loss of blood, it is small and not life threatening.

The really deadly problem in Ebola is that the virus rearranges where the body's liquids are located.
The fluid of the blood is removed from the bloodstream, and the DIC, which stands for Disseminated (widespread) Intravascular (inside the blood vessels) Coagulopathy (blood coagulates) results in blood vessels which LACK LIQUIDITY, making it impossible for blood to flow. It is all clotted and non-fluid in there.
SO Ebola death is not from hemorrhage but from dehydration.

Our choice of remedy MUST be adjusted accordingly.

Another big difference from spider venom is the lack of inflammatory cells. In Ebola both the neutrophils and the lymphocytes are suppressed and in etremely low numbers. SPider venoms make scabs (a function of neutrophils) and involve antibodies.
In Ebola instead, the virus has a mechanism to avoid antibody attack. It manufactures a great number of 90% similar to itself forms which it puts OUTSIDE the cell it occupies, accumulated around its commandeered cell, which trap and use up any antibodies coming to the virus which is hidden inside the cells, evading attack.

The virus is bodywide, including the brain. It borrows a body mecanism to get into cells and into the blood where it circulates everywhere, causing fever. (This early spread in the blood and the fever it causes, is why airports are uing temperature checks to pick up infected people.)

Ebola is different in another way, from snake remedies. It manufactures a glycoprotein which is used to attack organs and cause multiple organ failure, especially of the liver and kidneys.

So its attack involves:
Blocking antibodies
Causing multiple organ failure
Redistributing fluid to cause death by dehydration of the bloodstream.

The hemorrhage is a side effect, not the main banana.
It's in the name as it is the most alarming visible sign.
But this minor bleeding is hardly relevant as far as pathology goes.

So - .... back to the drawing board for the genus epidemicus.
We need a dehydration remedy not a hemorhhage one.

Most important rubric IMO: LOSS OF FLUID
Add in for example:
MIND - DELIRIUM - loss of fluids, from...............confusion is strong sx
MIND - IRRITABILITY - weakness - with...................a peculiar with Ebola
HEAD - PAIN - loss of fluids
STOMACH - PAIN - fluids; after loss of
KIDNEYS - COMPLAINTS of kidneys
ABDOMEN - LIVER and region of liver; complaints of
FEVER - CHILL; with
GENERALS - FAINTNESS - fluids; after loss of
GENERALS - WEAKNESS - acute diseases - during
GENERALS - WEAKNESS - loss of fluids; from
GENERALS - LOSS - fluids, of

= Cinchona officianalis, which also covers the minor symptoms:

Full list of rubrics from descrptions of symptoms I collected (CHIN covers all except *)

MIND - DELIRIUM - loss of fluids, from
MIND - IRRITABILITY - weakness - with
MIND - MEMORY - weakness of memory - loss of vital fluids; from
HEAD - FLUIDS agg.; loss of vital
HEAD - PAIN
HEAD - PAIN - loss of fluids
EYE - DISCOLORATION - red
MOUTH - BLEEDING
THROAT - PHARYNX; complaints of
STOMACH - PAIN - clawing pain
STOMACH - PAIN - fluids; after loss of
STOMACH - VOMITING; TYPE OF - blood
ABDOMEN - ATROPHY - Liver
ABDOMEN - LIVER and region of liver; complaints of
RECTUM - HEMORRHAGE from anus
STOOL - BLACK
STOOL - BLOODY
KIDNEYS - COMPLAINTS of kidneys
* KIDNEYS - COMPLAINTS of kidneys - accompanied by - hypotension (only one remedy)
FEMALE GENITALIA/SEX - METRORRHAGIA
EXPECTORATION - BLOODY - fluids; after loss of vital
CHEST - INFLAMMATION - Lungs - weakness, from loss of fluids
CHEST - LOSS of fluids agg.
FEVER - CHILL; with
SKIN - ECCHYMOSES
SKIN - ERUPTIONS - petechiae
GENERALS - FAINTNESS - fluids; after loss of
* GENERALS - HEMORRHAGE - Mucous membranes, from (but individual items within this are covered)
* GENERALS - HYPOTENSION (A small rubric; I would add Chin to it based on other experience)
GENERALS - LOSS - fluids, of
* GENERALS - NECROSIS
GENERALS - PULSE - weak
GENERALS - WEAKNESS - acute diseases - during
GENERALS - WEAKNESS - loss of fluids; from
GENERALS - WEAKNESS - paralytic
The woman doctor with Ebola just rescued, was in such collaped blood vessel condition that they could not get a IV needle into her blood vessels anywhere. Someone finally managed to achieve it many hours later.
Ebola is about dehydration.

For interest, below are my notes made on Ebola, during my investigation today. They come from a combination of research papers, news reports and personal descriptions of cases.
(Ebola is a river in the Congo, where the first Ebola outbreak occurred. It is transmissible from monkeys, the only other known species affected.)



CONCLUSION:
I see Cinchona officianlis as the most likely genus epidemicus for the above described reasons.
For people in epidemic areas, it would be wise to use it preventively in 30C IMO, and otherwise to have it in the first aid cupboard.

Namaste,
Irene

I found an old flash drive with many posts!!! Dates are in the text, or on the file info.

I know Irene wrote several posts on Ebola, but I cannot find those other than the mention in FIP.docx.

Anybody else have them?

Irene was amazing. She seemed to get it right at first, such as identifying snake venom as the similia for Ebola, then contradicting it in further inspection. Traditional remedy and prophylaxis for hemoraghic fever is Crotalus. which I believe is aggravated by blood thinners such as aspirin and native gotu kola

John,
Re-read the description. Irene is saying that Ebola is not about decomposition of the blood (snake remedies) rather it causes dehydration.
