(NaturalNews) As Ebola spreads through West Africa, taking out healthcare workers and running entire medical systems into the ground, people are being told to shelter in place, divvying up food rations. With the death toll rising, the World Health Organization is warning that the number of Ebola victims is likely to double every three weeks in the months ahead. In Liberia, nearly 5,000 have been stricken by Ebola since March. WHO estimates that more than 20,000 people stand in the wake of the virus in the coming months. Right now, 3.3 million hazmat suits are needed just to keep the virus from spreading. All this time, true antiviral herbal medicines are being disregarded by medical response teams and governments handing out aid.

Nations scrambling to help but the fragility of medical systems are bleeding through

As nations scramble to help, the cost to contain the growing crisis is estimated to hit $1 billion soon. US President Barrack Obama is set to deploy 3,000 American troops to help the stricken region of West Africa. Initially, America pledged to send over a 25-bed field hospital to treat afflicted healthcare workers, but that offered little reprieve. Now the US is expected to construct at least a dozen treatment centers. Cuba looks to send an additional 160 healthcare workers to the regions under strain. China has committed to sending a mobile laboratory team including 59 lab experts, doctors and epidemiologists. Britain is planning to build an entire Ebola treatment clinic in Sierra Leone.

The panic is setting in around the world, and world governments are not responding effectively. At a special United Nations briefing in Geneva, Dr. Joanne Liu, president of Doctors Without Borders, spoke up: "The response to Ebola continues to fall dangerously behind. The window of opportunity to contain this outbreak is closing. We need more countries to stand up, we need greater deployment, and we need it now."

WHO claims that new supplies and healthcare response teams could cost $987.8 million. Other task forces are needed to track down those who have already been exposed to the virus though blood, urine or diarrhea. On top of that, bodies are stacking up. At least $23.8 million is needed right now to pay for burial teams, body bags and protection suits.

Why aren't the governments of the world handing out these three extremely effective antiviral herbal extracts?

What really needs to happen right now is a shift in medical focus. The medical systems around the world need to get real about human immunity right now and should start passing out herbal aid to the stricken communities immediately. This herbal aid is very affordable and could be given alongside food aid. The US could be leading the way, right now.

By not handing out antiviral herbs and extracts, government decision-makers are refusing to deal with the root of the viral pandemic. It almost appears as if officials want Ebola to depopulate the region, but it's likely that officials are just ignorant to what these antiviral herbs can really do for people.

Herbal immune system aid should definitely include antiviral extracts of goldenseal and Echinacea purpurea. Here's a public study showing how critical Echinacea would be in a time when other medical system protocols aren't working. The herb's antiviral activity was effective against these influenza strains: human Victoria (H3N2) and PR8 (H1N1), avian strains KAN-1 (H5N1) and FPV (H7N7), and the pandemic S-OIV (H1N1).

Why aren't governments handing out extracts of Eleutherococcus root (Siberian ginseng)? Here's a public study showing the efficacy of the root against rhinovirus (HRV), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and influenza A. This root inhibited the productive replication of all three viruses in cell cultures.

Earth is alive with answers for viruses like Ebola. It's just sad to think that this information has been suppressed by corporate agendas for far too long.

But it's never too late for medical systems to get real and start educating and implementing raw, immune-system-boosting strategies using simple things like Eleutherococcus root, goldenseal and Echinacea purpurea. The time is short. Human life is too precious. It's time to get real.
