Better to say that there is no confirmed treatment other than supportive care.
Once Ebola induces something called a cytokine storm (essentially all of the debris from destroyed cells causes the immune system to kick it up and attack EVERYTHING. The immune system kills a lot of Ebola at that point, but far more of good cells), pretty much all they can do is make you comfortable and hope.
There are experimental options however to try and prevent it from getting to that stage.
