  I love money. Money is awesome it allows you to do a lot of good. But nobody gets into research for the money. 🙂 If I was lucky enough to stumble across something like this I would definitely try to make sure it got to the masses at very little cost. That’d be an amazing legacy to leave behind knowing you helped people who don’t have access to medicines.

  Completely agree with John!
  
  What’s the point of discovering a really effective cure/treatment if it doesn’t benefit the people who need it the most?

  I would but I would definitely patent it first, to ensure it gets managed appropriately, then make sure everyone who needs it could access it at low or no cost and of course, await my Nobel prize LOL!
