penguin_dance writes "Ready to put on your thinking cap? There's a report out of the UK regarding an "experimental helmet which scientists say could reverse the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease within weeks of being used is to be tried out on patients."

The helmet is to be worn for ten minutes every day and stimulates the growth of brain cells using infra-red light. The article explains, "Low level infra-red red is thought to stimulate the growth of cells of all types of tissue and encourage their repair. It is able to penetrate the skin and even get through the skull."

The creators believe it could reverse symptoms of dementia and memory loss after four weeks. Human trials are due to start this summer."
