There is a good movie, Medicine Man, where Sean Connery is shown the cure for cancer by a jungle shaman. The shaman pointed Sean to the flower from which the elixir was derived; but, his attempts to replicate all fail. What the shaman did not reveal was that it was only those flowers which were invaded by a certain ant species which yielded the successful compound. Perhaps an impurity found by Rossi in the Gerli nickel holds the secret of the catalyst. T
