Possible treatments for Ebola

For those of you like me, who might also be feeling helpless and worried, I thought it would be interesting to start a thread that brings together information on possible treatments for ebola. This is not in any way meant to fuel rumours about magical cures, but just discuss options that are out there being investigated.

There was a story about a Doctor in Liberia who treated some patients with a HIV drug. It would be interesting to see what becomes of this:

There is also some research suggesting that vitamin C could play a role in helping the body to deal with the effects of the disease:

Has anyone heard of any others or have any more information on these potential treatments?

Blood transfusions from a recovered patient are one of the treatment options I think.

What the actual FUCK? Violin music to cure Ebola, HIV, hepatitis? I really have heard it all now.
