East vs West - Minister Khaw's endorsement of anecdotal medicine?

I have to confess I was more than a tad disappointed by Minister of Health, Khaw Boon Wan's blog about his positive experience with TCM. No doubt he was narrating a personal experience, but it sounded too much as if he was endorsing an anecdotal approach towards the practice of medicine.

Is this the death knell for evidence-based medicine?
