This episode answers questions on using the medication Acthar to treat uveitis, using colloidal silver to treat cataracts, does Minoxidil affect eye pressure, and information on the ā€œN Palm Hum exercise. Introduction 0-28 seconds.  Question 1: Chad 29 seconds-10:01

I have spondylitis and am somewhat prone to uveitis. My eye doc has prescribed “Acthar” for me. I am debating whether or not to get the medicine. Is it a good idea? Does it work? What do you suggest? Thanks. Question 2: Jan 10:03-15:16, Is colloidal silver spray good for relieving cataracts?  Question 3: Cheryl 15:17-18:01 A few months ago the ophthalmologist said I have high eye pressure and placed me on drops. The drops help some but the eye pressure still fluctuates. (I own a self-tonometry device and monitor my eye pressure all throughout the day). I’m a female and have used topical Minoxidil drops daily for the past 5 years for alopecia. Do you think Minoxidil contributes to high eye pressure? Question 4:  18:02-23:00 What does the ā€œNā€ stand for in the Palm Hum exercise?
