The traditional medicine has worked in the past probably won't work in the future. The reason is that human has been travel a lot, and our fixed diet has changed. Traditional medicine relies heavily on the local environment, local produce and work on local people. These assumption is not true any more. Not only I see the kind of produce grow locally has changed, also the people are different. To my understanding of Chinese medicine, the treatment is personalized. It is not the medicine treating people, it is the doctor. He has a brain full of local knowledge, what water you drink, what season is now, what's going on in your village. These thing does not exist in current culture. Personalized medicine will take its place however. We can then treat people with minimal side-effect.
