North Korea Claims It Has Cure for MERS, Ebola and AIDS

 

North Korea says it has succeeded where the greatest minds in science have failed.

The authoritarian, impoverished nation better known for pursuing a nuclear program despite global criticism announced Friday it has a drug can prevent and cure MERS, Ebola, SARS and AIDS.

The secretive state did not provide proof, and the claim is likely to provoke widespread skepticism.

The official Korean Central News Agency said scientists developed Kumdang-2 from ginseng grown from fertilizer mixed with rare-earth elements. According to the pro-North Korea website Minjok Tongshin, the drug was originally produced in 1996.

"Malicious virus infections like SARS, Ebola and MERS are diseases that are related to immune systems, so they can be easily treated by Kumdang-2 injection drug, which is a strong immune reviver," KCNA said.

North Korea shut out foreign tourists for half a year with some of the world's strictest Ebola controls, even though no cases of the disease were reported anywhere near the country, before lifting the restrictions earlier this year.

It is believed to be struggling to combat diseases such as tuberculosis, and respiratory infections are among its most common causes of death, according to the World Health Organization.

North Korea trumpeted the same drug during deadly bird flu outbreaks in 2006 and 2013.

The North's claim comes as rival South Korea fights an outbreak of MERS that has killed two dozen people and sickened more than 160 since last month. There is no vaccine for the disease.

Either provide proof, or everyone is going to call bs

[Digitalfox]

Right... Does the regular citizen of NK even understands what those diseases are? What are symptoms for example? Or do they get a minor flu and NK says they had Ebola and were cured by this miracle drug?

[macoman]

The real question is, who in their right mind will trust it and who will put it in their body? It's like committing suicide.

Ha, coming from a country that wins every sports tournament ever.  Oh, and Kim Jong Un only shoots hole-in-ones.

All I can think of now is that fake grocery store with all the fake food.

Ha, coming from a country that wins every sports tournament ever.  Oh, and Kim Jong Un only shoots hole-in-ones.

Who can forget Kim Jongs half time performance.

[MDboyz]

Their cure is to eliminate the hosts ...

[benplace]

They found the cure when they landed the first man on the sun...

[BurlyDuck]

I don't think a bullet to the head qualifies as the type of cure people would seek.

Works for me wrt the latest Kim. Who wants to race to the Barrett?

[neufuse Veteran]

Who can forget Kim Jongs half time performance.

he really nailed it with Katy Perry

so, I'm reading over their cure.... it's a three step process...

 

1. Go to remote area and proceed to dig hole in ground aprox 6-8ft deep and 7 feet x 2 feet
2. Lay in hole to prepare for vaccination
3. Vaccination is administered through the skull or upper torso

It's hard to believe that a regime like this can be in existence in today's "modern world"........

[Intersect]

It's hard to believe that a regime like this can be in existence in today's "modern world"........

It really does boggle the mind that a country like this can exist.

[JustGeorge]

It's hard to believe that a regime like this can be in existence in today's "modern world"........

When you bomb a country so severely that you stop bombing it because there is not a single building left standing and then sanction its every import and export from the western world, what do you expect? That said, Kim can infect himself first and show the world it works.

You know when I saw that topic title I thought for sure this was going to be in the Jokes and Funny section in the forums.

[Rigby]

North Korea can't even feed its own starving people and are well known for lying so yeah, this is some grade A bull.

[DocM]

But they do have miniaturized nukes and recently tested an SLBM (submarine launched ballistic missile.) Add a modern AIP diesel-electric sub, which is often quieter than a nuclear sub and not that hard to implement, and you have to pay close attention to them.

[Torolol]

.., so they can be easily treated by Kumdang-2 injection drug, ..

... will be available across the globe in all good supermarkets. /s

curiously this "Kumdang-2 injection" are already available for sale at Alibaba: http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Kumdang-2-Injection_122906519.html

Must be NK's snake-oil thingy.
