Well, if you have clicked this news after reading the headline and are as excited as we were after learning this, let me tell you, there is hope (in abundance) that an end to these deadly diseases is near.

The official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported that North Korea has developed a drug that can supposedly cure Mers, Ebola, Sars and Aids.

About the magic cure

According to the website kumdang2.com scientists developed Kumdang-2 from ginseng with micro quantities of gold and silver to treat these deadly viral diseases. This special ginseng was grown from fertiliser mixed with rare-earth elements alongside traces of gold and silver.

Kumdang-2 injection is thought to be a strong immune reviver and hence can fight the malicious virus infections like Sars, Ebola and Mers diseases that are related to immune systems. However, we aren t sure of these claims as the state has not come up with any concrete scientific proof.

There has not been an Ebola scare at North Korea as it was in some parts of the world, earlier this year. Still the state had shut out foreign tourists for six months with some of the world s strictest Ebola controls before lifting the restrictions earlier this year. But there are reports that this state had been struggling to combat diseases such as tuberculosis, and respiratory infections that are among its most common causes of death, according to the World Health Organisation.

Their claim comes in just as the rival South Korea experiencesa MERS outbreak that claimed two dozen lives and the numbers have reached to 169. There is no vaccination for MERS yet, just like Ebola and SARS. (Read: MERS on rise: Numbers reach 169 in South Korea)

According to kumdang2.com this is what the wonder drug can do:

The list is endless. And there are no reported side effects yet. However, where this drug will be able to stand the test of times, only time will tell.

How it works

In case you are wondering that taking this injection will save you just the next minute after you administer it then you are wrong. Here is how it works:

  • Kumdang-2 injection is administered with a special syringe without diluting the medicine as its micro-elements have been already diluted. Excess dilution can reduce its medicinal properties. The entire course of this injection lasts for around 20-28 days with a gap of one or two days in between. Once the course is completed you might have to repeat it after a gap of three or four days or discontinue it depending on the progress of your condition.
  • When you start the treatment you might receive only one to two ampoules of the dose and in the second round of treatment (if required) the dose can go up to five or eight.
  • Excess of the maximum dosage is inadvisable.
  • The good effects of the injection might fade away during discontinuation of the dose but you will feel improvement in your healing process with time claims scientists.
  • For some 30 days after full recovery, you should refrain from some overburdens, e.g. excessive drinking, too much exercise and hard labour because although you would feel invigorated and pleasant from your recovery, your physical conditions are still in a feeble state like a flower in a green house. After the said 30days your physical conditions will return to the original state, so no particular cautions are recommended from then on.
  • There could be cases of temporary fever or chills after taking the dose which subsides on its own.

Wondering if you should opt for this treatment for your ailments, well it hasn't reached the Indian shores yet.
