The author is very ignorant. Chinese (herb) medicine is very useful. Of course, it cannot replace the modern western medicine. But Chinese traditional medicine cannot be used together with modern medicine.
Malaria has killed more humans in the world history than any other diseases. The bacteria have developed resistance to all modern western medicine. Right now, the only reliable medicine against Malaria is a Chinese traditional herb medicine that has been used in China for thousand of years.
Please do not blindly deny all things. You must have evidences. If Chinese medicine was not useful at all, then it could not last thousand of years. Sure, it is not as reliable as modern medicine. However, all traditional Chinese medicine doctors also receive training in modern medicine, so when they use traditional Chinese medicine methods to cure patients, they will take into account modern medicine methods.
