Just when you thought the news couldn't get any more ridiculous ...

A company in North Korea has developed a cure for everything. North Korea's state-run news agency is reporting that Kumdang-2, a type of ginseng grown in "rare-earth molecular fertilizer" can "prevent different malignant epidemics."

The story was picked up in South Korea, which is currently experiencing a deadly outbreak of MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome), which the makers of Kumdang-2 claim it can cure.

According to this website, just a simple injection of this compound can cure a vast array of diseases:

    Inhalation of sufficient quantities of hydrogen cyanide gas arrests the progression of all known diseases. Disclaimer: side effects may include death.

    Ask your doctor if HCN is right for you.

    Cheaper and safer for the physicians working in public health: lead will do it as well... injected in the right place with the help of a small explosive charge triggered behind the dose inside a reusable steel syringe. Immunity guaranteed for life.

    Ask your doctor if HCN is right for you.

    Ask you doctor if you are healthy enough for HCN; a blood test may be required. If death lasts more than four hours contact your doctor immediately.
