If the site is to be believed, making an attempt on Randi's

I've also no idea how seriously to take Randi and his offers!

I've seen a TV programme in which a homoeopathic medicine company
accepted the Randi challenge, fully convinced that they would reap the
$1M prize. Of course in the well-proctored DBT organised by Randi, the
results came out exactly as one would predict - homoeopathy was a
scam.

I don't think they actually include that test in their advertising
citations though...

Nor should it be expected that it would be a cakewalk.

I think the website author is beating his own drum, and complaining about
the absence of a nearly free lunch.

I think his demands are reasonable, all things considered,
