Dear Facebook Family of Sierra Leone,
I offer my heartfelt thanks for visiting this page, “Liking” it and sharing it with others. Your doing so, especially sharing it with your fellow citizens, will go far in educating your people that there is hope, even when those charged with protecting you look the other way, for whatever reasons.
I must say that we were invited by the highest levels of your government, we came, risked ourselves, we performed, and returned to America to be quarantined for 3 weeks, and are now deeply saddened that your government seems to have deliberately shunned what we were invited to bring. From my perspective, it is because it works, works well, works almost immediately, is almost costless, and, its success will cost some major players a lot of profit.
It pains me to say this, but I believe Sierra Leone has been transformed from the land of “Blood Diamonds” to the land of “Blood Money”.
The good news is that despite really bad communication links between SL and the outside world, you do have Internet, at least in Freetown. I am deeply honored that many of the Likes I am seeing now are coming from Freetown.
I humbly ask that you do all you can to share this page with your friends, families, and more in Sierra Leone and around the world. Ebola and other certain outbreaks are putting or will put the world on the brink, while profit interests will do what they can to make money regardless of the human suffering as a result. You are seeing this happen right in front of you, first hand. You have the power to make change, right in your own country by educating people about additional truths of the misguided Ebola campaign, and the international forces in your country that might not have the agenda of saving lives and people as FIRST priority. Yes, properly and safely disposing of those who have died is important, but that would become practically unimportant if you had a nearly costless cure for the disease. Then, all fear would vanish, and you could once again shake hands and embrace your friends and loved ones without fear. Please link this to any other Sierra Leone sites related to Ebola.
And, if you know or see anyone from the local or international press, or relief workers, please direct them to this page. This timeline tells a story even bigger than Ebola. Ebola is merely a killer virus, that could be a pussycat when dealt with properly. Human nature is an entirely different animal. And, now that we are seeing it right up front, it is more dangerous than is Ebola, in my opinion.
Dr. Robins and I would not have made the trip had we known that this could happen there. But we are both relieved that at least 2 brave physician lives have been saved and that alone is worth it and we would do it all again, just for the two. Now it is time for those 2 to step up and tell the truth to your people. Please encourage them to do so.
To the best of my knowledge, the photo I am posting today is that of Dr. Kanneh, on of the very brave souls at the Hastings Ebola center, who put his life on the line to save people, became infected, and is now cured due to ozone. I took this photo during his training on the simple ozone technique during my visit to Hastings. He is one of your heroes.
Your servant in healing,
Robert Rowen, MD
