a beautiful cure

Dear All,
Just thought I'd share this one with you. We see a lot of cases of epilepsy. And often once the person has been on a lifetime of anti-epileptic drugs, it's so much more difficult to cure. This is one case we caught early, and I'm so glad.
Shall I tell you the story and leave it to you to provide the explanation & remedy?
------
Mosei, a teenage boy, with his father came to see me from a village where we had recently conducted a mobile clinic. They arrived to the mobile too late, so they came up to Nairobi for treatment.
The boy had an unusual kind of "epilepsy". It took but a few directed questions to uncover the story, but after that it was clear sailing towards the cure.
About a year back the boy, staying at a boarding school, got malaria. The school nurse gave him some malaria medicine. He felt better and returned to school after a few days.
Then without warning, he blacked out, stiffened and fell down (more like catalepsy rather than epilepsy). Limbs stiff, eyes staring. No tremors, no foaming, none of the typical epilepsy symptoms one would expect. There are many details to the fit itself, but in fact, they are unnecessary to this analysis.
The second time it happened the school put him in the hospital on a malaria drug drip and called his father. Since then, he goes into a fit without warning, without any aura. The doctors put him on anti-epilepsy drugs. He's had to drop out of school because his mind has become dull. In fact his whole future is now threatened because he can't go to school.
There was one unusual feature to his fits. When I asked the father, how often does it occur?, he said "On the 3rd and 17th of every month". (I have never come across such a clear periodicity!!!) It happens that like clockwork every 14-16 days he will have that fit.
In the last two months, the nature of the cateleptic fit has changed: he has started shaking, has become more violent and angry afterwards.
Three doses (1 dose for 3 days) of ___________ cured once and for all.
Any explanation for all the curious facts of the case?
