Kim Jong-Un free to continue boozing after North Korea ‘creates a liver-protecting pill’… in a zoo
The medicine is the latest from the country which, in the last year, also claims to have developed a cure for Ebola, Aids, Cancer and a weight-loss pil
Tyrant Kim Jong-un has been given the green light to carry on boozing after his boffins working in a ZOO invented a liver-protecting pill.
The North Korean leader, who loves Johnnie Walker Scotch and fine French wines, has had his scientists develop a medicine to guard against booze-induced illnesses and a range of other common complaints.
The tablets, which are to be taken three times a day, are made from acid extracted from a bear’s gall bladder and compounds from a tree.
A statement released by the regime revealed: “Recently an institute under the Central Zoo has developed a natural Koryo medicine extracted from animals and plants - Bear’s Gall Tablet for Liver Protection.
“It is exceedingly higher in effect than other liver protection materials.
"It has a string bearing on bile secretion, improves liver excretion and lowers blood cholesterol level.
And it stops disintegration and necrosis of liver cells and growth of the inflammation of the liver diseases.
“It is also used in chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, fatty liver, poisoned hepatitis (caused by alcoholic, medicinal and chemical substances), jaundice, cholecystitis and disorder in urination.”
The “breakthrough” comes hot on the heels of another medical innovation by Kim’s men in white coats.
They claim to have developed a fat-busting medicine that blitzes the bulge without diet or exercise.
And that’s got to be good for the lardy leader, 33, because experts reckon he’s piled on a whopping six stone in just four years.
The new wonder drug – made from the skull cap plant – also aids bowel movements.
Ri Ran Hui, head of the Academy of Koryo Medicine, said: “Experiments with animals revealed that our new tablet decreases brown and white fat tissues and we also found out its weight reducing effects and action mechanism.”
The boffin claimed a 10 per cent weight loss in six months and the compound also helped reduce high blood pressure and also has “distinctive effects of thinning hard faeces, loosening the bowels and removing excess moisture and heat and has no side effects even if it is used for a long time”.
Just last year, the dictatorship also claimed to have created an injection which would cure Aids, Ebola, and "a number of cancers", although it didn't specify which ones.
