Frank,

Would be nice, if true. However, one case does not a cure make. Time for a Mayo Clinic study!

Yeah, unfortunately, she not only has a sample of one person she is also very emotionally invested in curing that person.

CI wrote an article about coconut oil recently in their magazine but it was focused on coconut's performance and only a little bit on its health benefits.

To summarize:
    Coconut oil is experiencing a comeback
    Coconut oil may boost metabolism and strengthen the immune system as long as it's not hydrogenated
    gaining popularity with vegans as a nondairy butter substitute
    refined Coconut oil has no taste or aroma so they tested that instead of virgin CO which retains its strong coconut flavor
    they made a batch or two (!) with melted Coconut oil in CCCookies and it performed just as well as melted butter but they missed butter's sweet dairy flavor. They also creamed it for cake and used it to saute carrots.
    not practical for deep frying because of price
    can use it in pie crusts with adjustments

    "If you’re avoiding dairy, refined coconut oil makes a perfectly good substitute for butter (or oil, for that matter) in baking and sautéing."
