Doctor Gains Success Treating Ebola with HIV drug in Liberia

 

A doctor in rural Liberia,Dr. Gobee Logan says he's had good results with a treatment he tried on Ebola patients out of sheer desperation with an HIV drug.
According to cnn.com , Dr. Gobee Logan has given the drug, lamivudine, to 15 Ebola patients, and all but two survived. That's a 7% mortality rate.
Logan is mindful that lamivudine can cause liver and other problems, but he says it's worth the risk since Ebola is so deadly.

Logan said he got the idea to try lamivudine when he read in scientific journals that HIV and Ebola replicate inside the body in much the same way.

"Ebola is a brainchild of HIV," he said. "It's a destructive strain of HIV."

WIZ KHALIFA WANTS JOINT CUSTODY

According to TMZ, reports have it that Wiz Khalifa drew the battle lines in his divorce with Amber Rose ... challenging her move to get full custody of their one-year-old son

Wiz has filed his response to Amber's divorce petition ... he's asking for JOINT CUSTODY of Sebastian. Fact is ... in California it's advantage Wiz because there's a presumption joint custody is in the best interests of a child ... and when a parent asks for sole custody it's often a sign of vengeance.

Wiz also is agreeable on the prenup ... like Amber, he wants it enforced.  Amber is the one who demanded a prenup and she's getting a lump sum payment north of $1 million.

According to the documents, filed by disso queen Laura Wasser, Wiz is also willing to pay Amber spousal support, because we now know the prenup provides that. Sources connected with Wiz and Amber tell us the agreement gives her upwards of $5K a month.
