    Trepan - real or urban myth?

    I've been reading lots about trepanation. Basically it means to drill a whole in your head. Ancient way to cure anything, to 'let the demons out'.

    Lack of terminology and ability to explain it in english, I provided this link to anyone who is interested:
    Trepan – My WordPress Blog
    http://www.trepan.com/


    So, could this have anything in it, or is it just some crap bunch of hippies did and now praise it?
    The basic idea is to drill a whole into your skull. These days it's safe if you're in doctors hands and painless. Ok, and you have the hole in your head. Now there should be more blood in your head, activating unused parts of brain, or parts that are usually inactive. And that's supposed be the wonderfull, because well if you're brains function with more power, there are advantages.

    Interesting thingie, what do you guys think? Obviously it has been labeled as not working, but then again there are dudes who claims it works. What's your take?

    And please I ask you to be civilized in this thread. I'd like to have intellectual and interesting discussion, not 'drill hole in your head? Yeah, smoke more you dirty hippie! That's what lsd does to you!' or 'if you drill a hole in your head, the blood is coming out, not staying in'.

        Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

                          It sounds radical, sure. But with the knowledge and equipment these days, it's like going to dentist. The operation takes like 30min to one hour, is safe and relatively painless and doesn't leave big marks on your head. So now, please and go read the stuff in that site, about how it should work, and then come back and make arguments why it won't work, or why it works.

                              Absolutely not. I'm not for or against this. I find this purely very interesting. And that's all there is to it.
