When I had my spect scan done my shunting was " severe. " Dr Rea said that damage

to the BBB can be caused from any contaminant. (mine being mycotoxins) He also

said that chemical exposure, infection and recreational drugs with break down

the BBB. I am intereted in learning how to fix the damage done to the BBB or if

it is even possible. Anyone know? D
