Lightbulb I think you should have

Essential fatty acids on your "improve" list.

These fats actually make up the BBB as well as other membranes. A diet low in them, leads to poor vascular tone.

There are channels in the BBB called Zonulin channels. They are similar to the ones in the GI mucosa.

The Celiac community is researching this, and I believe their findings will help PD and other CNS Neuro disorders. A drug is in trials to "close the Zonulin channels".
