The blood brain barrier is real; blood vessels to the brain are very small,
and most antibiotics are larger than a blood cell. You can't pass a golf
ball through a garden hose; similarly you can't fit most antibiotics through
capillaries in the brain. However, colloidal silver is far smaller than a
blood cell, thus it can pass the blood brain barrier. Thank God!
