It is mathematically true that they don't have to move together, but there are lines of evidence that for PIE they did. For example, there are lots of divinity related words and root words found in the PIE language that then carried forward in various derived languages in distinct geographical regions of Indo-Europe. This is not nothing.

There are even be stories that similarly exist in common. There is the story of slaying the serpent. There is another story of the divine twins. These stories are found everywhere that the PIE culture went.

The third line of evidence is PIE poetic formulas and poetic traditions. These again show up in multiple post-PIE cultures. The local writings show the same mythic structure across cultures. These things are too difficult to explain without a common ancestor culture/religion.

* Punctal cauterization

* Vitamin A: 10K IU, taken on five or six days per week (most important supplement for dry eyes) (This takes three weeks to work. Do not confuse with beta carotene.)

* Taurine: 1g bid

* Lutein: 20 mg (naturally derived only, not synthetic)

* Vitamin D3: 5K IU, taken on six days per week

* Fish oil: 2g bid (triglyceride ester version) (provides 1.4g omega-3s in all)

* Generic cyclosporin A eye drops (burns at first for a few months, but then works)

Since you mentioned pressure, get your eye pressure checked annually by a professional, as should everyone. You can also confirm that your eye prescription is correct, although various optometrists are idiots and give a wrong prescription, so be careful. As for your blood pressure, you can use an upper-arm Omron BP monitor to measure it at home.

Note that preservative-containing eye drops can irritate the eye in the long term. Benzalkonium chloride is the worst such offender. Preservative-free lubricant drops exist.

The scam aspect may hold true at a high dose, e.g. 500 mg, but I am saying it is not so at a low dose.

It won't help the underlying AD pathology, but it's a workaround to mitigate some of the harm. It should in principle work better if done early before large deposits form in the brain.

This in no way allows spreading falsities and FUD about competitive prospects. It is not excusable.

If you want something to drink in the evenings, how about a cup of mild bancha green tea andor rooibos tea andor hibiscus tea? If you do, please get the loose leaf product only, never the bagged product, as the latter infuses microplastics.

For all we know, it might in the future be possible to do it less invasively, like how a cardiac stent is installed. For us to get there, we have to pursue it aggressively. Dwelling too much on the current paradigm seems more constricting than helpful. We need an engineering-focused wartime approach to accelerate it.
