10 Hilarious Lies North Korea Told The World
4. Aids, Ebola, MERS And SARS Are Easily Cured
If time theft, demi-gods and fashion icons weren't enough for you then maybe a humanitarian feat will warm you to the illustrious nation. Apparently those quirky Koreans have outsmarted the greatest minds in the modern world. Devastating diseases such as Ebola and Aids have ravaged Africa while MERS and SARS caused panic amongst even the most developed nations on the planet.
But not in North Korea. North Korea have the cure.
Ginseng. Along with some fertilizer and 'rare earth elements' hold the key to the panacea named Kumdang-2. Unfortunately that is the full extent of the revealed recipe for the miracle concoction and one has to assume that the 'rare earth elements' can only be found in the giant unicorn lair.
To make matters worse, this isn't the first time that Kumdang-2 has been hailed as a miracle invention. In 2006 and 2013 the KCNA announced the same discovery, claiming that they had found the cure for bird flu.
The published medical trial data can be found on the Kumdang-2 official website and the news report here.
