It's controversial. There could be some merit to it but I wouldn't want to be the one to self test it on Ebola.

Seems some agree with you
Is using nano silver to treat Ebola misguided?

Due to the known toxicity of Ag-NPs in many human cell lines [10], and the short time limit of efficacy following infection, the Ag-NPs would likely make a more effective decontamination tool as opposed to an in vivo therapeutic agent. However, if the Ag-NPs do indeed facilitate the uptake of arenaviruses into the cell and inactivate the virus prior to cell entry, further studies should be performed to determine if Ag-NPs can prove to be an effective vaccine adjuvant.
