The recent weeks have had an intense debates about whether colloidal silver works on ebola. I know there is a specific thread for this, but I want to focus more on a specific case that is often brought up as an example of how colloidal silver supposedly treats ebola.
I think most of you have seen the claims made by Natural Solutions Foundation's founder Rima Laibow how her product was sent to Sierra Leone and allegedly "did wonders" on 500 patients.

I know Rima got a long history of quackery, and it just seem to be the case without any doubt. I think most of us will just dismiss Rima's claim as simply a marketing scheme created to cash in on the fear of an eventual ebola pandemic.
But personally I like to gather more specific information about the case, and it seem to be very little information about this beyond what Rima Laibow have claimed. A lot of "truth-oriented" sites have mirrored this story, stating it is proof colloidal silver cures ebola.
As you can find basically no other source than Laibow about this, I would like to concentrate on some specific points in the alleged email correspondence that just feels odd.
So what I'd like to know is how much truth there is to this story, if anyone can find out.
Is this story a complete fabrication by Rima Laibow? Or did they really send a sample of colloidal silver to Sierra Leone?

- What you have here is basically an alleged speech claimed to have been held at a local hospital, something that have been translated by the imam that allegedly sent the silver in the first place. An email was sent by Rima to Kanu to confirm that the translation accurately reflects Kanu's speech. Nobody seem to know if this speech was held or not, except for Rima. I cannot find any other source for this alleged speech. We simply have to take Rima's words for granted.
- There also seem to be something odd about Kanu's email address. If this was an official post with a governmental minister, wouldn't a @gov.sl be used instead of a simple @gmail.com? Anyone can register a gmail account and pretend to be someone else.
- There is also very little information about this imam from Atlanta - "Sheikh Massally". The only trace I could find was this Yahoo group conversation mentioning someone by the name "Alhaji Sheikh Ismail Massally", "reknowned Imam in our Sierra Leonean community".
