Ottar Stensvold asked the Naked Scientists:
I suggest Gogel Mogel could be beneficial for Ebola patients, simply by blocking NiemannĂ¢ Pick C1 (NPC1), a cholesterol transporter protein, by cholesterol. Raw eggs will deliver much cholesterol, and in addition they will deliver amino acids, essential for synthesis of antibodies.
The Ebola virus uses NPC1 for cell entry.
What do you think?
