North Korea has announced it has created its own wonder-drug made from ginseng, which is able to cure Aids, Ebola, Sars and MERS.
However, the hermit state has not provided any evidence of the efficacy of its new drug, prompting speculation that they may not be telling the truth.
The news was announced through the official Korean Central News Agency which updates the world about events within the secretive dictatorship.

North Korean scientists have claimed they have developed a new drug which can cure Aids, MERS and Ebola
Normally the updates include information on 'field guidance' trips by Kim Jong-un to various locations around the capital Pyongnang with the dictator surrounded by a group of minions writing furiously on notepads.
The KCNA claimed the drug has been developed by the Korea Pugang Pharmaceutic Company.
Company director Dr Jon Sung Hun said: 'The researchers insert rare earth elements (REE) into insam (ginseng) by applying the micro-elementary fertilizers of REE to the fields of insam.
'Inside the herbal body of insam the REE had got combined with the saccharides into desired complex compounds.
'The injection is made of extracts from those complex compounds.
'As a strong immuno-activator, the injection has been recognized to prevent different malignant epidemics.'
He added: '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,'

According to one website, the drug is available to the outside world through a distributor in Moscow.
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 Organisation.
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.

Sounds believable. They can cure major diseases but they can't grow corn to feed their people.
Please put a label on everything from them that says "Made in North Korea" so we will know to avoid it.
