Another thing which increases the permeability of the BBB is inflammation. Further, it does the same thing in the intestine.
One of the effects of H pylori is inflammation of and increased permeability of both these membranes. This allows more toxins to leech into the bloodstream and to pass into the brain.
Further, endotoxins from similar bacteria are always in the blood from the steady die off that is normal. Infections, periodontal disease, etc. add to the load.
I think Ron's BBB idea is definitely worth talking through.
