      I think there are a great many hidden cures for many diseases (not just Malaria) in the natural resources in the world, things from the rainforests, oceans, everywhere really. A lot of current medicines are based on chemicals that are naturally occurring – from trees and plants. So if I had access to everything, I think a good investigation of nature to find useful chemicals would be a good thing.
