New! From Doctor Kimmie's Medicine Show

Step right up!
Pyongyang, January 26 (KCNA) -- The Democratic People's Republic of Korea is making good use of Jinju and Kumgang medicinal stones, natural minerals for the improvement of health. Jinju medicinal stone, whose medicinal effect has been found out recently, properly contains inorganic ingredients including Ca, Mg, Fe, Si, Ge and Se and more than 20 organic substances including alanine, glycine, linolic acid and oleic acid.
Kinda...crunchy though. Ouch!
Especially, it has many kinds of organic substances that are not found in other minerals. Its Ge content is 100,000 times that of Koryo insam with 0.1-1.4~1016 mg.
Whatever that means...
Kumgang medicinal stone, called active natural mineral complex, also contains over 60 kinds of mineral matters and some 10 kinds of rare earth elements which are necessary for the promotion of enzyme activity, nucleic acid metabolism and physiological function.
Mmmmmmmmmmm...stones!
The Paeksung Trade Technology Exchange Company pulverizes the Jinju and Kumgang medicinal stones until 3? for medical use. They are efficacious for sedation, spasmolysis, defervescence, detoxication, diuresis, hemostasis, diabetes, skin disorders, digestive diseases, epilepsy, tuberculosis, various cancers and arteriosclerosis.
Yes. But can it cure painful rectal itch?
In particular, the active natural mineral complex helps children grow fast. The growth rate is double for boys and quadruple for girls. And it improves their physical strength and vigor.
South Korea attacked by gigantic North Korean schoolchildren. Film at eleven...
The natural medicinal minerals, the clinical test of which proves no after-effects, are popular among people.
Can I have some more medicinal stone, mom, so I can grow up to be a gigantic commie and fight the rabid Yankee dog imperialists?
They also are available for health food, purification of drinking water, animals' feed and cosmetics.
It's a medicine! It's a floor wax! It's a house paint!
it's a supplement for undernourished kids who unfortunately really need it ... and the sad thing is, they're so cut off from the outside world that they probably think this is a big breakthrough demonstrating the unique insights of Korean science.

#9  Well, Silicon isn't really toxic, but Selenium and Germanium sure the hell are.

WTF? Been a LONG time since I had Geology, but these don't sound like naturally occurring combos in stone. Obviously this leads to one conclusion: Jinju Medicinal Stone is people! and rocks...

#6  Hmmm. Mustuv run out of bark and grass, so now they're gonna feed 'em rocks. Truly a people's paradise.

#5  The assumption here is that they actually test this stuff. I always notice the DPRK "no after effects" seal of approval.

Simple to accomplish when your test subjects come in as severely malnourished kids and leave as only moderately malnourished. Kinda like the reverse of the Nazi "experiments" on the effects of freezing on humans.

I believe "Koryo insam" is the active ingredient that reduces Stubborn Belly Fat.

Like excrement, larval cysts, and spider eggs!
