You have some amazing information/theories in your post, I'm going to keep a copy of it. My son has had most vaxes (against my wishes) and I know he also has some kind of wheat sensitivity, either celiac or allergy. I do think he had the problem since newborn, BUT he had Vit K shot at hospital (which has some crap in it), and I also got a flu shot very early on in pregnancy, so who knows what that did.
At some point we'll have to try and figure out what exactly is going on with him and wheat. I also have one blood relative that had alzheimer's and another blood relative that may have the same thing (and at a younger age, but his family is either not getting him to the doc or not telling us what's going on).
Also interesting about the alcoholism. Isn't most alcohol made from wheat? And isn't the theory that we crave what is not good for us? Sorry, kinda getting OT here. I can see how it can be related to vaccines though since they can mess up the immune system (which is what, 70% the gut).

Ophelia, did you breastfed your ds? I am learning that breastfeeding may protect infants from getting celiac from a parent. Actually, one third of the population has the human leukocyte antigen that, if triggered, can cause celiac, but certainly one-third are not celiac sufferers, so it is clear that something has to trigger it. I am pretty sure it's been triggered in me, as well as my mother. In my mother's case, I am not sure what triggered it. I wasn't breastfed so I think I had issues with gluten from the beginning and they really came out once I hit puberty whereas my mom started having issues in her early 30s. I am really deadset against getting dementia/Alzheimer's myself so if I need a radical change in diet, so be it. Back to my own dds, both unvaxed and breastfed for 9 and 12 months and showing no signs of food allergies and having excellent teeth. Again, mine were horrid. I am really thinking that immune system functioning dictates the condition of our teeth more than realized.
Yes, alcohol is made from a lot of common allergens like wheat, potatoes, grapes, etc. My mom drank wine until later in life when her brain started changing and she started craving beer and now she drinks a couple beers a night. I am done with beer! For me, it's either 100% agave tequila or triple-distilled vodka or potato vodka, and wine seems ok for celiacs. It is interesting though to see how celiacs or non-celiac gluten intolerant people crave gluten foods and drinks. They say celiac afflicts mostly northern europeans, which might explain why beer is so popular in northern europe. They eat a lot of bread there too. There is just so much info out there that seems to point to neurological damage from gluten but it gets blamed on other things. So Alzheimer's is genetic, but in which way exactly? Could it be celiac and other food allergies are inherited and the damage they cause to the brain is the cause and not simply the gene itself? That is what I am thinking. We hear a lot more about celiac these days not just because globally, gluten-free is a growing movement but also because like autism, food allergies are becoming so common in our youngsters, and in these cases I really do believe vaccines are the trigger.
