I just logged in to my email to find this worrying comment on my post about trepanation:
I have been very interested in this procedure for quite some time and I am curious to find someone that has had the procedure done. I am a Reiki Master I work with stones and crystals as a form of intigrated [sic] healing and also African D'jembe for Shamanic sound therapy. I find the information that I am reading very pertanant [sic] to my work and have given very serious thought to having it done but can't seem to find out more about it from someone that has had it done.
Namaste,
Kevin
I am not a physician, so I don't normally offer medical advice, but in this case I feel it would be irresponsible of me not to do so, because I wouldn't want something I wrote to inspire someone to do such an insane thing.
Kevin, I strongly urge you not to drill a hole in your head. If you want to reach a higher level of consciousness, please consider other methods first. If you have a health problem, please consult a doctor who practices conventional, evidence-based medicine.
If, however, you decide to ignore this advice and go ahead with the procedure, here's a beautiful 19th century trepanning brace that is available for purchase.

You could always point the guy to BME.
