In fact, Duncan didn't get ZMAPP at all. Why? Because they were OUT of it. They actually don't have large supplies of the stuff because it is a rare disease that is normally adequately contained by quarantine.
In fact, the last person who got the ZMAPP was English. See the video link posted by IBH.
They are trying to make more, but that takes time.
So they are using other experimental vaccines

Maybe I exaggerated a bit when I said overnight. But they still responded pretty quick for having a treatment that hadn't been tested before on humans. So if they are out of ZMAPP it will be interesting to see how the two nurses do.

Ebola Survivor Donates Blood to Infected Dallas Nurse Oct 14, 2014
Dr. Kent Brantly, an Ebola survivor, donated about a gallon of his own blood to other Ebola patients: and most recently to Pham.
Patients who have recovered from Ebola have blood chock full of antibodies to the virus.
The hope is the sick person's immune system will recharge off the donated antibodies, and fight off the virus.
But not everyone is a match, and someone like Brantly, can only donate but so much blood at one time. Brantly himself received a donation from a child he helped save in Liberia.
Nancy Writebol, the nurse who worked with Brantly, credited the experimental drug Z-MAPP, for helping her recover from Ebola. But the supply is gone, it's a very difficult drug to make and takes time: something Ebola patients don't have.

Experimental drug likely saved Ebola patients Tue August 5, 2014
The experimental drug, known as ZMapp, was developed by the biotech firm Mapp Biopharmaceutical Inc., which is based in San Diego. The patients were told that the treatment had never been tried before in a human being but had shown promise in small experiments with monkeys....
Dr. Kent Brantly's and Nancy Writebol's conditions significantly improved after receiving the medication, sources say.

Brantley donated blood to three people who were a match to his blood type, including nurse Pham. Duncan was not a match, and evidently the second nurse isn't a match.

I think that is over the course of a couple of weeks. All at once would kill him.
And after he donated his blood (with the antibodies), he probably received an offsetting donation to keep him on even keel..

I have to admit that is interesting. Obviously we are very concerned here, But I found this shot documentary. It's not real long. But you'll the people in Liberia don't seem one bit concerned about Ebola. Their attitude seems totally different from ours. On top of that a few Africans think we are over reacting.

Some of the common symptoms that I've been hearing about are Fatigue, Joint Pain, Rashes mainly on lower Extremities, Loss of blood from mucous membranes, Severe muscle weakness. Connective tissues damage resulting in blood loss. Of course in the later stages severe vomiting and diarrhea. That would be due to the breakdown in mucous membranes in the esophagus and intestinal tract.

The Ebola virus attacks the body's endothelial cells which make up the thin lining of the inside of blood vessels, connective tissue, mucous membranes and body organs. The blood vessels weaken and that is why you get the bleeding internally. The mucous membranes and connective tissue weaken and that is why you get the dehydration. A doctor was on the Kelly File on Fox Friday night and he said most of the victims who don't survive is due to severe dehydration. A good part of the treatment is to keep you hydrated with the hope that your immunity system will make the antibody to the virus which is what happened with Dr. Brantley.

What he posted is consistent with what I heard as well .... on CNN ... and part of the long list of support items is "clean" water to hydrate. Because of a weakened immune system everything must be sterile to avoid secondary illnesses..... Additionally, apparently the Ebola morphs and mutates ... so treatment is a moving target.
Hopefully some of you heard the doctor who was Duncan's primary care physician (overseeing his treatment) discuss their efforts to save him and his perspective on the nurses and other staff members who helped.

You're really not telling me anything new. I understand that dehydration would be an issue with this disease. I am still not totally convinced everything were being told from the media is true. They are almost giving this disease a mind of it's own.

When you finally are "convinced," please don't publicly announce it. OK?

I believe it is actually that he just doesn't give a shit:
March 2012:
"This is my last election.....
....... After my election I have more flexibility,..."
February 2014:
"That's the good thing about being president. ....
.............................. .I can do anything I want."

Here is what you said in post #86.
I understand what you were saying I wasn't trying to debate you on the temperature issue. I think the CDC is using temperature to over generalize. This disease is rather puzzling. They keep mentioning "Flu Like " symptoms. Ebola is nothing like the flu. The flu is a systemic virus it's endemic which means it's part of the environment. Ebola is a Hemorrhagic virus.

That would be due to the breakdown in mucous membranes in the esophagus and intestinal tract.
1. I was answering your question about why the virus causes a person to bleed internally. The endothelial cells are in blood vessels and other places. The Ebola virus attacks or binds itself to the endothelial cells. Eventually the capallaries weaken and rupture which causes the bleeding.
2. It's not the loss of nutrients it's really loss of fluids.
3. Most people don't survive an infection of Ebola because the dehydration becomes so severe before the victim can make the antibody to neutralize the virus. According to the doctor who was on the Kelly File on Fox, Duncan did not survive due to a collapsed lung.
4. I know you are a chemist. I was not trying to teach you something new.
5. I don't work for the CDC any new revelation would have to come from them.

This disease is puzzling to me anyway. I haven't yet been able to figure out everything being reported about it. The treatment or rather the test treatment this Z-MAPP I want to learn more about.

The "sad" part is more "patients" are required for the disease to be understood. How long and how many deaths did it take for AIDS to be even remotely "understood" with any kind of "treatment" developed?
