Never said that. Just said there was an article about this, and with my limited knowledge of biology it's a plausible thing that I'd personally try (along with everything else). Certainly I'd do whatever the doctor says, and then add this only if they said it was likely it wouldn't do much harm.

Seems like it might not be harmful at least.

Here's the article that I believe was at some point on HN, which I was referencing in my first comment. The guy could totally be a quack, but like I said it seems plausible enough that I'd give it a try along with everything else if it wasn't declared harmful by my doctor.
