What a shame it didn't go through. Would have been interesting. (and shame that Benveniste couldn't replicate his experiment ~ maybe more sophisticated measuring instruments would help....?

Of course if someone puts a million on something that's effectively a bet they don't expect (and perhaps can't afford) to lose.

I half expected the Greek homœopaths to offer Randi treatment when he got sick.

When anyone gets stung by a wasp in our garden ~ which happens regularly during the summer months, near the pool, which the wasps love too ~ I always have Vespa crabo at hand. Always a winner!

So interesting and so typical of mainstream medicine.

Hi Pam! Yes, interesting indeed! The skeptics were all for the experiment to go ahead having worked for years on the research protocol, but their magician leader (Randi) clearly was not!
