Instead, seek out professionals who don't just say everything is OK, but who tell you what specific things to do and tell you why you should do those things backed up by research. A competent MD will not be afraid to refer you to the research that they are using to make their recommendations. A real MD does not say (I'm and expert, trust me) but they are willing to point to the studies and the opinions of other experts. Experts will not all agree but usually, when something really works, there will be a majority who do prescribe that course of action.

FDA published a warning a month or two ago.
By anecdotal information, don't believe the memory problems will necessarily go away...
