Expert Answer

A social worker and geriatric consultant who specializes in dementia care, Joyce Simard is based in Land O' Lakes, Florida, and in Prague. She is a well-known speaker and has written two books, one focusing on end-of-life care and the other, entitled The Magic Tape Recorder, explaining aging, memory loss, and how children can be helpers to their elders.

Research is not well done and leaves more questions than answers. I don't think it is harmful but probably not beneficial either. Wouldn't it be lovely to have such an easy cure or treatment?
