natural cure dementia

Answered by a doctor

When my grandfather died, he was demented. I am afraid the same destiny can be for my father. He is 67 years old and he has begun forgetting things. In the beginning those were the little things, but I am afraid this can get serious in the future. Is there any natural cure for dementia or not?
