Sorry to disappoint you, he tried it five times, did not work for him.
I have an interesting friend......
He has a good set of brains, although he does not work as a scientist.
Most of his ideas stem from his OBE experiences.

Again, the vivid imagination, but not very in-depth education in science obviously.

We both studied medicine, both graduated. Both were disappointed and went on into doing other things.

He used the Ossining method to get started. It works, although I, I also used it, do not "leave "Earth.
The mind is a powerful drug. No need for anything external, just (again) imagination. This is why there are so many fiction stories that have been written....to include a lot of good Science Fiction and Fantasy.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your friend's stories would be in the "Fantasy" genre, and not good solidly based Science Fiction. He may wish (if he can write) to explore that direction......as long as it is clear that it's Fantasy. It is unfortunate, however that there are many, many individuals in the World who cannot distinguish fact and science from Fantasy........

Thanks for that, are there any subjects you are particularly interested in?
I guess if his goal is to be believed, then giving some insight that would change our beliefs would be cool. If his goal is simply to entertain, then I'd tell him to be careful over the potential of somebody stealing his work because, honestly, that Sunfolk thing is a tasty giblet for a writer-blocked author.

...also many things wrong with the idea that the core is iron and that nothing is expanding, and that comets are balls of ice and with plate tectonics.
.Perhaps you should do some study ...
You cannot deny that some of the things that are seen in the NASA space video of the shuttle cannot be explained by 'ice crystals' or other such BS.
There is a vast amount just on this planet alone that we have not explored an do not know and in my opinion no one can categorically state that we know it all. The science, in all spheres, most definitely is NOT settled.
By the way go tell the Shamans and medicine men of your opinion on mind enhancing drugs. They would laugh at you.
What did you think about his explanation bout the oxygen in our atmosphere?
Oxygen is not from nature, plants just use it and recycles it by generating it.
In his idea Water vaporises, the vapour rises to great hight where it becomes ionised. Most of the ions recombine. Some do not. Due to the low gravity at that altitude some of the Hydrogen escapes in our Solar system. Thus out of reach. This leaves the Oxygen behind witch travels back to Earth.
