I can't even fathom how you would test some of these ideas. I could understand an argument that a parasite isn't that much different than chemotherapy (a poison).

I pretty much just came down with celiac out of nowhere about 7 years ago. No rhyme or reason to it, it just happened one day. I can't think of anything different I'd done in the time leading up to it, outside of working the most stressful four years of my life at Microsoft. As long as I keep wheat and other sources of gluten out of my diet, I'm totally fine. But, it does raise the question: what happened to me?
