I wonder if it means that I have a highly developed sense of nonsensical trivia if I have no interest in clicking that link ?

And, an informative article about

More like a meandering and poorly constructed article. One particularly amusing quote:

"Anyway, this is Western medicine's big flaw. Call it the "chemicalization" of medicine. The natural products on which most Western medicine is built may have various effects as well, but surely chemical effects are more unpredictable and noxious."

The problems with that statement are pretty obvious:
i) Unless you are using some pretty idiosyncratic definition of "natural product" you are saying something misleading.  The number of true natural products which are also useful medicine are few.
ii) Those which are derived from natural products often have low to no effect.  i.e. You could try to use willow bark as an anti-pyretic but you would likely not be successful and even evidence for it's use from the 1800's were done using a refined form. The closest example I can think of is Quinine but even that needs to be distilled in some way.
iii) Those which are useful in their natural form have no control over the dosage or toxicity in their natural form.

So what would happen is this.  Suppose you had cancer and you wanted to take Toxol from Yew Bark.  You would...

a) Most likely end up having no effect because the dose you are taking is way to small to have a useful effect.
b) If you did somehow take a clinical dose by eating bark.  You would end up engaged in mass deforestation and...
c) Probably end up dying from one of the thousands of other chemicals in the bark.
