Searching around did turn up this for the date given in the reference

This has the headline "Homeopathy not a cure, says WHO". Perhaps that's why the web address was incorrectly published in WDDTY.
From what I can tell, there are some serious deficiencies in some of the citations and others are pretty irrelevant. If WDDTY thinks this is doing better, I think we can assure them that it isn't.
