You are confusing result with process. Ancient medical systems, such as Chinese acupunture, have achieved some good results. But they did it through non-systematic observation over centuries of hit-or-miss.

Modern medicine had advanced far more rapidly and with more daring because it has a method, which is the scientific method, to PROVE whether some idea is actually valid or not, and to prove it quickly, in a few months or years, not centuries. Once the idea has been shown to be scientifically proved, other doctors will accept it and build on it. Without a process that leads to accepted proof, it can take centuries for advances to spread, if ever.
