Guest guest Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 They tested this in the rats with Blue due. I wonder - is there something that should usually cross the human BBB only in small quantities that is "proven" non-toxic (might be a challenge to find something like that though)? We already *have* the aluminum "at hand" for a human experiment, from vaccines - and some dye that is non-toxic, biodegradable, that could be detected by nMRI scanning.. It might be hard to convince a IRB that the aluminum shouldn't be considered "potentially toxic" as part of the "experiment" as it's already *in* the vaccines.. But isn't that the whole point? If an IRB balked at the aluminum, then.. they've got a problem with almost every (every?) vaccine out there! Or, if you there is some byproduct produced by however Al weakens the BBB - you could look for it in a simple minimally invasive (probably blood-draw, or maybe CSF) observational study.Jim...in rats-- but still kind of disconcerting:http://www.springerlink.com/content/302151x7m0101047/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
