- sseth 6y agoICMR doctor R Ganga Ketkar had made the statement on Apr 11 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PP_ta25JcbU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PP_ta25JcbU) that this is under study and at this point is not a recommended treatment. Subsequently a recent study in the US has said that it has no positive effect. Seems to be a dead end at the moment.
