Blood Brain Barrier permeability

"This brings us to another important piece of the puzzle that doesn't usually get addressed and is most likely what is causing your neurologically-related symptoms, a damaged Blood Brain Barrier (BBB). Both the BBB and Candida become problematic due to the use of antibiotics. Antibiotics, by destroying all the 100 trillion+ bacteria in the body within a short period of 5 to 7 days, create a massive release of bacterial components, especially LipoPolySaccharides (LPS), into the body. These substances incite an inflammatory cascade throughout the body that affects cells near the BBB causing increased permeability of the BBB. Like a leaky gut, you end up having a leaky BBB. This however is much worse than a leaky gut, as inflammation in the body is upregulated in the brain anyhwere from 10x to 1000x. This upregulation is designed as a protective response, but thanks to antibiotics and the blindness of those who prescribe them, it becomes the basis of lifelong inflammation and neurodgeneration. Antibiotics "prime" the brain for chronic degeneration. All it takes to keep this going is something that drives inflammation in the body." Tweet
