Wonder what excuse the homeopathic practitioners will come up with, to explain this one?

No excuse. They'll dilute the news with a swimming pool or two of fact-free press releases on unrelated non-topics.

Then by homeopathic "logic", that dilution will make the original anti-homeopath news incredibly potent!

These were 99.99% water with an almost undetectable trace of quinine.

I think that the reporter needs to learn a bit more about homeopathy.

Has anyone ever noticed that health reporters are often remarkable ill-informed?

Has anyone ever noticed that health reporters are often remarkable ill-informed? and the homeopaths work hard to keep it that way.

The one Globe and Mail medical reporter, Andre Picard, is pretty good. Whereas the other ones are totally woo.
