Trepanation is the oldest surgical procedure practiced by mankind. The earliest evidence of trepanation dates back 10,000 years. At no time had evidence been found that brain surgery was the intention of this procedure. The mission of ITAG is to compile every bit of information about trepanation and its benefits brought such enthusiastic welcome from people who wanted to be trepanned that we went looking for some doctors willing to provide the surgery in a first-class clinic. In August of 2000, we struck gold. The rest is history. Elective trepanation is now available to people who volunteer for the medical pilot study. The long-term study will determine once and for all what the benefits are to making a hole in the skull bone. My advice is to believe or disbelieve nothing. The only truth is in the experience.
