Kim Jong-un claims to have succeeded where the greatest minds in science have failed… by producing a single drug which can prevent and cure AIDS, Ebola, SARS\u00a0and MERS.<\/p>\n
North Korea is currently suffering from one of the worst droughts in its history while still pursuing a nuclear programme.<\/p>\n
The official Korean Central News Agency said the portly despot’s scientists developed miracle drug Kumdang-2 from ginseng and other ingredients – without saying which.<\/p>\n
North Korea claimed the same drug cured deadly bird flu outbreaks in 2006 and 2013.<\/p>\n
The North\u2019s claim comes as rival South Korea fights an outbreak of Mers – a respiratory disease similar to SARS – that has killed two dozen people.<\/p>\n
There is no known vaccine for the disease.<\/p>\n
North Korea\u2019s announcement via their central news agency contained no detailed information. Korea is one of the world\u2019s largest producers of ginseng.<\/p>\n
