False. It says right in the article that they also include treatments and medicines. Does it do that for Ayurveda and other traditional treatments? Why not? I guess Nature is worried for an irrational reason?

Please don’t twist yourself batting for this nonsense.

Can you please paste the relevant quote from the article? Because I'm not seeing that. The part I looked at was:

"In a statement on 4 April, it insisted that the TCM chapter does not discuss particular remedies. Rather, it is meant to give doctors the chance to diagnose patients using both TCM and Western medicine — what it calls “optional dual coding”. These categories “do not refer to — or endorse — any form of treatment”, the statement says."
