ER Doctor Reveals Truth: ‘Hospitals Can’t Save Ebola Patients’

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


A severely botched Ebola case (which resulted in at least two more cases) has turned a Dallas, Texas hospital into a virtual ghost town, with its ER visits dropping 50% and revenue dropping 25% since it happened. When I called the place, the woman in the ER who answered the phone refused to even tell me what the wait time would be if I showed up in the ER (per what she said was hospital “policy”); must be a new policy, because when ABC News asked a few days before me, they got an answer of “zero wait time” in a hospital where it used to be an hour.

People are realizing that going to the hospital in the case of Patient Zero Thomas Eric Duncan did not make his situation any better and by the second time, only prolonged the inevitable while putting other people in harm’s way.

Why? Because, per the nurses’ own statement on the shocking events that went on in that hospital during Duncan’s care, the facility was not even remotely prepared.

In a recent article, emergency physician Dr. Louis M. Profeta, author of the book The Patient in Room Nine Says He’s God, has detailed a much bigger fear he has than Ebola itself.

Dr. Profeta says that in preparing for any large-scale emergency, the biggest question is always “Will the staff show up?”

That, Dr. Profeta says, he doesn’t know.

He goes on to detail how studies have shown it is housekeepers — the people with the lowest pay who clean the rooms between patients — that hold up patient movement throughout a hospital:

If the rooms on the floor were not cleaned fast enough, then no patients could move from the ER to the floor, and no patients from the waiting room to the ER. ER wait times rose and patient care suffered. Housekeepers handcuffed the entire system, and not because they were lazy. The regulations, protocols and procedures put into place to clean a room are so extensive that rapid room turnover was next to impossible with the current staffing model. That stuck with me. What is the rate-limiting step in a mass casualty scenario or massive patient influx that would handcuff us? Where will all the preparedness collapse? What is the leaking O-ring? What am I afraid will fail?

That protocol and procedure to clean a room has been enhanced in the case of Ebola, and therefore takes even longer to complete.

As reported today, nurses are already calling out sick and thus, refusing to treat Dr. Craig Spencer, America’s newest highly publicized Ebola patient who was admitted to Bellevue Hospital on Thursday.

So if nurses are already calling in sick on this single Ebola patient at Bellevue, why would the cleaning staff — again, traditionally paid the lowest wages at a hospital — risk their lives to show up?

Furthermore, should Ebola breakout at a handful of hospitals or in a handful of cities, forcing multiple hospitals to take on multiple Ebola patients at once, imagine this same scenario of people calling out multiplied across the country.

When Dr. Profeta gave congressional testimony regarding hospital ability to handle mass casualty events, he told them his biggest worry was “the flu.”

“Now, flash forward. I wonder if what I really meant to say was ‘Ebola’,” he wrote. Dr. Profeta continued:

…the trauma from a major incident like an earthquake or terrorist attack is very predictable. All you really need to know is the type of event and the numbers and you almost immediately have a pretty good idea of what to expect.

But a real bad flu? There is no way you can prepare for it. The goal should be to protect your hospital from it.

There ya go. There is no way for a hospital to effectively prepare for Ebola or any real bad flu out of the mouth of an experienced ER doctor who has testified before Congress on hospital preparedness in the face of a potential mass casualty event.

Dr. Profeta lays out what an outbreak scenario would look like at your average American hospital:

Thus my biggest fear has always been a strain of flu that is highly contagious with a high mortality rate. The Spanish-flu mortality rate of 1918 was 2 to 5 percent. Ebola has a 20 to 90 percent mortality rate, but it fortunately is not quite as contagious as Influenza. However, I still keep going back to flu and envisioning an epidemic of the Spanish type that will quickly fill all our inpatient beds, every ICU bed, every ventilator, every outpatient bed, every cot, gurney and chair in the ER and in all the waiting rooms. I’m afraid that a flu virus this aggressive will bring five dying flu victims to our ER each day and dozens more with a real possibility of dying.

This would occur on top of a department that is always operating at capacity and drowning in documentation and electronic medical record bureaucracy. After 30 days in our ER, nearly 150 people will have died, providers will be physically and mentally spent and morale will be at below-despair levels. Multiply it by 20 or so other hospitals in the area and now we are talking about 3,000 members of our community dead in only a single month. The obituary pages of the local paper will be thicker than the advertising section the day after Thanksgiving. Expand that number statewide and nationwide and the numbers become so immense they aren’t even real.

Now imagine a realistic scenario in which the flu vaccine only provides immunity to 50 percent of the recipients. That means that half of our ER staff who are seeing all these patients will have little protection, outside of gowns, masks, and gloves, against a virus that is spread primarily though coughing, sneezing and saliva. Simply put, some of us in the trenches in damn near every ER in America will almost certainly die. It could be me, it could be any one of my partners, colleagues and co-workers and it could be one of our children or a spouse who gets infected when one of us comes home thinking the headache and fatigue they are feeling is simply exhaustion from the workload of the day. Can you picture it?

And this is where people stop coming to work:

Now imagine that huge numbers of hospital staff – from doctors to housekeepers, from food services to registration, from security and parking to transportation will decide not show up. They will call in sick or simply just say: “No, I’m not coming to work today.” In just a few days, human waste, debris, soiled linens, the sick, the dying and the bodies will pile up. We will be overwhelmed and unable to offer much in the way of assistance because the labor-intensive protocols that allow us to safely care for even one patient are just too exhausting. These procedures are barely repeatable more than once or twice of day, and fraught with so many steps and potential for mistake that it becomes too physically and emotionally taxing for the staff to do … so they simply wont show up.

And I am not sure I will, either.

Why? Because Dr. Profeta is only human. He has a wife and kids to think about, family just like anyone else. But what’s more, he goes on to point out the obvious:

I also am keenly aware that not a damn thing I do will have any real impact on the survivability of a patient with either the Spanish flu or Ebola. Fluids, rest and prayer is about all there is to offer. There is an old adage that says a hospital is no place for a sick person. I think whoever first said that had Spanish flu and Ebola in mind. [emphasis added]

That’s it. “Fluids, rest and prayer.” A person is either going to survive or not, regardless of what a hospital can do and that’s according to a seasoned ER doctor!

The doctor goes on to point out that it would be much less risky to the entire medical infrastructure of the country and, basically the safety of everyone in general, with home care.

“Why can we deliver the mail, pickup the garbage and recyclables at damn near every house in America, but we can’t pull up a retrofitted UPS van, drop off a mid-level provider in a hazmat gown, let them do an assessment, draw some blood, drop off cans of rehydrating formula to their doors, clean linen, biohazard bags, gowns and gloves for family members, slap a warning sticker on the front door, tell them you will stop by tomorrow and move on to some other location?” he asks.

Good question. It does make a lot more sense to expose as few people as possible to something like Ebola.

He goes on to say, “I know there is a better way than risking the infrastructure of a medical center for the sake of a few patients that will either do OK at home with simple supportive care or die no matter what care I provide.” [emphasis added]

In other words…

  • Hospitals cannot fully prep for something like the Spanish flu pandemic or a mass outbreak of Ebola. It’s just not possible when just a few housekeepers calling out sick can literally grind the entire building to a halt.
  • Further, even the ER doc says that there’s nothing magical about simply going to a hospital for Ebola. Hospitals can offer Ebola patients little more than “fluids, rest and prayer,” because these patients will either do okay with supportive care at home or die no matter what a hospital does.

But that’s not something that the media wants to tell you. Yes, the role of nutrition (something our medical doctors don’t really learn that much about, curiously) and the importance of the immune system’s ability to fight off disease has been and will at all times be downplayed by the establishment brought to you by our various industrial complexes. In this case, they want you to run into the arms of Big Pharma at the slightest cough and, oh, don’t forget to get your vaccine after they rush the experimental money maker to market.

Please be sure to keep all this in mind once flu season hits and everyone who has gorged on a steady diet of mainstream media Ebola fear and who has even a slight fever runs to the nearest ER thinking they might have Ebola.

      No worries… With our borders wide open and all the free “ObamaCare/EbolaCare” Health Care that you foolish ignorant Americans want to pay for illegal immigrants to infect our country. Our hospitals and emergency clinics will be overrun with illegals sneezing and coughing flu and Airborne Ebola. Again, thanks to all you brilliant liberals thinking this one through, you will deserve this Hell you have created. Now go out and get all your children vaccinated like good liberals since this military grade version is only a 50% kill ratio after you and your family are vaccinated with the adhesion molecule (which allows the Ebola virus strain to mutate and connect up molecularly to a multitude of viruses) humanity will experience a kill rate increase up to an 90 to 95% kill ratio.
      So…to go out and get your vaccinations “Sheeple”. The
      CVS Corporation will shoot you up for FREE! Yet they will not sell those evil cigarettes anymore because their concerned for your health and welfare.

      Would it not be wonderful to know a treatment that could kill all harmful bugs you may contract. I have found such a treatment and used it for year? Just now, I have stopped one flu virus on its track. I contracted it last Saturday, obviously in the local crowded store where I was shopping. The flu tried hard, causing me to sneeze repeatedly on Sunday, but it was no match for my treatment, although I used only the smallest doses that I use for the maintenance of my health. I have not met the Spanish flu nor the Ebola yet but I am confident if they will come.

      Still, this is frustrating. I have been trying to offer my treatment freely, a treatment that until now, has healed all my illnesses that I have had in the course of these last years. Still, hardly anybody seems to be interested, except some in my family that have experienced themselves how effective it is if only due doses are taken in due time. I don’t see any cause why it could not be effective against the Ebola also that I have not met yet.

      If you don’t believe in the eternal life, you don’t take it and you cannot get it. If you don’t believe in an unknown but effective and cheap treatment, you don’t take it and it cannot help you. No high IQ is necessary nor much money. My advices are free but the ingredients, cheap ones, you have to acquire yourself or together with someone else. I don’t ask anything.

      I only want to tell my health story. Is that any cause to push me behind locks and bars?

      I used to be sick again and again in the past, even from my early childhood on. I contracted every new virus coming to my living area, sometimes same viruses twice. Now, I am super healthy. What has made the difference?

      I think that it is a leading of God and an answer to my many prayers that I may know a method that can kill the Ebola virus, a method that seems to kill other viruses anyway. It is a combination of three chemicals, namely Sodium-chlorite (NaClO2, with ‘t’), Citric-acid ( C6H8O7) and Borax (The Twenty Mule Team Borax, Na2B4O7.10H2O) that all I ordered from the Net. They were not expensive. I have studied and used the mixture for years and it has really killed all viruses that I have contracted for over three and a half years now, although I have had a weak resistance against all viruses from my birth on. Several times in my childhood, as I still remember after more than 70 years, I was on the brink of death in destitute conditions like many people in Africa now, but God helped me. I did not die. Later on in my life, I had contracted every virus passing by and had to suffer much until I found the mixture that I am using in these times. My honest thank to God! No more sick, never!

      It happened that eventually, after harvesting a lot of alternative information from the Net, one net-friend of mine pointed out that the combination of the Sodium-chlorite and Citric-acid (MMS) is said to be able to kill all harmful bugs. I ordered the ingredients and tried the combination. It helped but not in the measure I had hoped for. When I contracted a very aggressive virus (maybe the Swine flu that was around in that time, the bird flu or alike), I did not dare to take the MMS so much that possibly, it could have killed the virus. I was becoming desperate. Then I got an idea. I owned a jar of Borax that is found to heal also in a certain measure (as well as a bottle of the Hydrogen-peroxide that I had experimented with too). I added Borax to the MMS and the effect was what I wanted to. The virus was killed immediately and I was healed. Additionally, the two component MMS develops a bad smell and taste of the Chlorine that caused an intolerable nausea to me, but the Borax binds the main part of that smell and taste because the element Boron in the Borax reacts vigorously with the Chlorine. One Boron atom is able to bind three Chlorine atoms, creating Boron-chloride. The body uses Boron as a trace element but the extra amount of the BCl3 is removed from the body among the urine like the table salt. That way I understand it. Anyway, during several years, I have not gotten any adverse symptoms from those ingredients and together, they work as a dream!

      What is the secret of the effect of the triple combination? What feature of the SoCiBo, as I call it, is it that kills the harmful bugs? I don’t know exactly but I guess that it is the atomic Oxygen (O) that is released in the reaction when the Citric-acid reacts with the Chlorine (Cl) of the Sodium-chlorite, leaving behind the Oxygen of the same and then, the Boron (B) of the Borax catches the Chlorine, leaving behind the Oxygen of the Borax. The Sodium-Chlorite has 2 atoms of Oxygen per a molecule but the Borax has 7 atoms of Oxygen per a molecule. So, this may explain why the addition of Borax seems to make the mixture remarkably more effective than the mere MMS. The Citric-acid includes 7 atoms of oxygen per one molecule also and may release it but I don’t know really. I have no resources to do a due chemical analysis. True, one Borax molecule includes 10 molecules of water that dilutes the concentration of the Oxygen to be released but anyway, I have found the triple mixture to be very effective against all extra, harmful biology in my body. I have read somewhere (don’t remember where, someone could find out) that the body itself generates and uses atomic Oxygen to kill harmful microbes. Just generated Oxygen is in the atomic state and works very effectively. So, the mixture helps the body by generating extra atomic Oxygen to kill all harmful microbes.

      I even experimented with the triple mixture in one special way. I put a dose of it (nothing else) into a glass jar with edible mushrooms in normal tap water that filled empty spaces in the jar. The amount of the dose was about 5 ppm (parts per million, corresponding 500 milligram = 0.5 gram per 100 kilogram or 5 mg/ 1 kg) of the amount of the water and mushroom together in the jar. I kept the jar in our cellar for several months. Then, I made a mushroom steak from the contents of the jar. I ate the steak and it tasted good and felt good in my stomach without any symptoms. I thought that also other foods could be conserved that way. One time, when I still had not developed my use of the SoCiBo enough, I was careless and contracted a very aggressive virus, I took about such a big dose. I had to bolt fast to the toilet where I emptied my stomach and bowels. The toxic remnants of the dead viruses and cells came out, both from above and below, and caused the sprint. Then I drank water and took the big dose second time without more drastic reaction, and the virus was gone.

      After getting good results from my experiments, I concentrated only in the combination Sodium-chlorite (with ‘t’), Citric-acid and Borax, the combination that I call shortly SoCiBo. I keep the ingredients of the combination as dry powder in three small vials that I fill from three jars that include the three ingredients as powder, every ingredient put in its own jar and vial as powder. I keep the ingredients separated in a dry place until I put a little pinch of every ingredient into a cup and pour some hot beverage on them. Doing it that way, I cannot taste or smell any bad and do not get any nausea. For the maintenance of my health, I take such a shot three times a day, in the morning, in the afternoon and in the late evening.

      One maintenance dose of the three ingredients corresponds to about the weight of one dry pea powdered, 1/3 of pea of every three ingredient. I don’t use any precision scales but only estimate the doses. That way, most ordinary viruses keep away, and other harmful bugs as well. I even have gotten rid of my decades old warts and age old lip herpes. What’s more, when I got a tumor in my right thumb due to a small wooden splinter that I could not get out, I injected a little of he SoCiBo-solution into the tumor, and it was healed. There are no signs of the tumor beginning to grow again. The splinter is still there but cannot cause any infection or tumor.

      Even two more positive effects of the SoCiBo I can tell. My heart has an arrhythmia that the SoCiBo cannot heal totally but it stops a fit of the arrhythmia every time it begins after I have taken a due dose. Even my mouth is healthy all the time, without seeing a dentist for several years.

      If in spite of the maintenance doses, I surprisingly contract an aggressive virus that normally can get a breakthrough during a night when I am sleeping, I take a manifold shot corresponding to several peas, first less and then more if the virus is tough. That has happened now and then but the SoCiBo has prevented the virus attacks in their start or stopped all my diseases during the last 3.5+ years. That is, after I had invented the SoCiBo, performed many experiments using myself as a guinea pig, taking the due risk, and learned to use the mixture in the correct way as I am doing in these days. I have observed no negative effects at all in these years while using the SoCiBo daily. Of course, the daily use is not necessary like I am doing myself due to my susceptibility to the virus diseases. If someone has a stronger natural resistance against the viruses than I have, they may need only to take a dose or some doses when the symptoms appear.

      Now, I say honestly that I don’t fear the Ebola either. It is not a supernatural being but a micro-biological organism and the SoCiBo effects chemically, not biologically. So, the Ebola cannot develop a resistance against the SoCiBo, can it? If I learn or suspect that it has come to where I live or has gotten a contact with me through any person, a place or a situation, I start to take double maintenance doses. If even that is not enough and some day, I will get suspicious symptoms, I will take a manifold shot that does not harm me as I have experienced, but can kill the Ebola virus, and then, I repeat the treatment if necessary. The Ebola incubates slowly (2 days to 3 weeks or more), so I have a lot of time to react. I only am concerned about that the ingredients of the SoCiBo could be taken from me on some pretext. In such a case, I will try the Hydrogen-peroxide because it releases atomic oxygen also, or the hydroxy water that includes atomic Oxygen also, and if they do not help, I say to God, “Please, take me to Heaven but take care of the left behind if You don’t consider me worth of healing.”

      Jesus Christ is my life and the death is my victory. What a man could do to me? I am under the protection of His angels. Every one coming against me, have to meet them first.

      This is my healing method that I have found out and experimented with. I have experienced its wonderful effects. Still, it is on every ones responsibility what they do after reading my story. This is only informative but I urge people to give doses of the SoCiBo at least to some sick animals and see what it can do.
