This kind of says it all doesn't it?

Results: 33 patients with symptoms disappeared after 48 hours, Plasmodium falciparum Blood tests were negative, the effective rate was 92%
...meanwhile from the medico mafia:
The best available treatment, particularly for P. falciparum malaria, is a combination of drugs known as artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs). However, the growing potential for
parasite resistance to these medicines is undermining malaria control efforts (see below). There are no effective alternatives to artemisinins for the treatment of malaria either on the market or nearing the end of the drug development process.
