The whole blood/brain barrier topic is puzzling. From the research of Y. Omura MD, it is clear that the brains of many patients are infected with bacteria and viruses and also have deposits of various metals, including aluminum and lead.
An interesting article some years ago -- Readers' Digest? -- discussed a case in which a child died of a worm in the brain. Infection came from stool left in the sandbox by a relative from a rural area; the worm normally is confined to the bowel. Weirdly, the surgeon who treated the child noted the smell of feces in the cranium which he opened to relieve pressure. He convinced himself he was wrong; couldn't be true. He was right, as autopsy proved after the child's death some time later, following many periods of "recovery." Based on my reading, the blood/brain barrier keeps blood out of the brain under ordinary circumstances, but may be breached for a variety of reasons. Omura claims methods to chelate heavy metals from the brains, and destroy toxins as well. There are many abstracts available online for free, and full articles from MedLine at modest cost. Omura's work is a good place to start reading about this topic.
