Brief Answer:
This is not yet commercialized. It is still being researched upon!

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I understand you have read about this and the possible positive effects it has on dementia. Unfortunately, it is not yet being used in clinical medicine as it is still being validated.

Preliminary results were only done for a few persons and there are many more stages before this goes through and gets validated for use across the nation in patients battling with dementia.

If you really want your mother to try this, then you will need to do so in the context of clinical trial. You may express your wish to see her included in any of the trials when you next visit her doctors.

Hope I have answered your query.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Ivo Ditah, Internal Medicine Specialist
