Hi Lew, Lets see now,first you start with the blood-brain barrier and call it gate-less, then you get on osmotic and oncotic pressure and finally hit on cerebral-spinal fluid circulation. Now I`m not sure what you are talking about and am beginning to think you don`t either. Please clarify what you are thinking for me. The blood-brain barrier is a "gate", it allows somethings in and not others. Also keeps somethings out also. Works in both directions. Osmotic pressure has to do with molar concentrations on the sides of a membrane. Oncotic pressure is a part of the osmotic pressure caused by the plasma proteins. Cerebralspinal (its one word) fluid enters the CNS (central nervous system) from the choroid plexuses, circulates through the brain and down the spine, finally being reabsorbed into the blood. Its purpose is to act as a shock absorber in protecting the brain and spine from mechanical damage. I don`t think that ionized silver has anything to do with the "dynamics of cerebralspinal fluid circulation". Perhaps we should talk about desmosomes, tight junctions, gap junctions, and other ways that materials pass in and out of cells, including brain cells. This is not to insult you, but to let you know that using a lot of fancy words and mixing them up won`t snow us. Its obvious that you are a very educated person, so threat us the same way.
